A wonderful and sublime spectacle in the
heavens was witnessed by some of our ,citi~
zens about S O'Clock on Friday afternoon,
May 18th. The first appearance, as wit
messed by our townsmen Mr.. II. o. Talbot.
and perhaps others, is described as if a tre>
mendous fire had suddenly sprung up on the
face of the sun, sending out an immense
blaze, as if that planet was about being con-
sumed or was consuming another, and then
rolling off into a cloud which for a short
time frightened up tho entire western and
northern heavens. What may have been the
cause of this strange spectacle we awe been
unable to divine or conjecture, but hope it
may have been observed by somo of our es>
tronomcrs, who con throw some light on the
matter.

In an editorial on New England Colleges,
the Boston Advertiser speaks of Bowdoin in
a manner some will consider complimentary,
others not so much so Erich in the
list of its graduates,-for that college
is wealthy whchcan count men like
Longfellow, Hawthorne, Fessenden, Andrew
and Prentiss among its sons,-but in little
else yet too self-contaned to seek for large
classes by forid advertisements or still hunts
for possible candidates for admission; main
tanning high standard. though to its own
hindrance, when many clamored for easier
terms; claiming patronage on the ground of
merit not for reasons of locality denomination
or kindred alleged advantages ; and dscourag-
in the most practical way those who would
climb up some other way and reach di-
ploma by care making its honorary degrees
few and fit, in a word, pursuing the even
tenor of its reputable and enlightened way.
so that Maine has been able to offer to her
sons home course of study, abundantly ad-
vanced and environed by the refined and
dignified auspices that have distinguished
Bowdoin from the first"
