The New Comet.

The first comet of the present year
was discovered on the 18th of March
Mr.. c. S. Wells, an assistant at the
Dudley Observatory, Albany, was the
fortunate finder of the little stranger
that had wandered from the parts un-
known into our northern sky. 1t was
small comet when first seen, though
an unusually handsome one. 1t had
a bright nucleus, shining as a star Of
the eight magnitude, and tail five
minutes long. 1t has since greatly
increased in size, nearly doubled its
light, and more than doubled its tail.
Observers have marked out it's path
in the heavens, and if they are not
mistaken,it will soon be large enough
to be seen by the naked eye, 1t will
not reach perihelion, or the nearest
point to the sun, till the 18TH of June.
Therefore, about that time, we may
look for superb display in the starlit
summer sky.
The comet will be remarkable for
its near approach to the sun, Its per-
ihelion distance is variously estimated
from hundred thousand to ten mil
lion miles, but all observers agree in
prophesying close proximity between
the great luminary and his gossamer
visitor.
The comet is also remarkable for
its size. Though one hundred and
fifty miles away, it is now a large
comet with we'll defined nucleus and
well-developed tail. As it is APP
preaching us at the rate of two mil
lion miles day, it is reasonable to
expect that it will be grand specta-
Gle before it takes its departure.

SECRETARY's OFFICE,
LANSING, APRIL 8, 1882.
This society wishes to make the
sale and exchange of Live Stock a
prominent feature at its Spring Fair,
with view of bringing the seller and
purchaser together, for the benefit OF
both. This can only be done with
the assistance of all our patrons and
the public generally. We want
Breeding Stock of all kinds of cattle,
horses, sheep, and swine, working
oxen and steers, mich COWS, heifers,
and calves, horses, single or in pairs,
for draft, the carriage, track, road
or pillow, and colts of all descriptions;
in fact, everything in the Live
Stock Class.
There are stables, pens and sheds
sufficient to accommodate all stock
that comes, and the only charge will
be for gateage (a5 cents), the owner
providing feed. Sales may be made
either by auction or private sale, as
preferred, and on such terms as
owners prescribe. If a list, giving
the owners name and list of the
animals to be bought is furnished
the Secretary on or before May 18th
they will be printed in a catalogue,
which will be issued in large numbers,
giving more extensive advertise
ment than could be afforded by
private individuals. Parties failing
to send their lists in time for the
catalogue may still bring their
animals to the Fair and sell them
the same as if they were in the
catalogue.
Thousands of people, from all
parts of the State, will visit our
grounds daily and furnish larger
attendance than could be secured
at an individual sale, and parties
wishing to purchase will be able to
readily find here just what they want,
without going all over the country.
Everybody having Live Stock to sell
should bring it to the Fair, and all
who wish to purchase should come
and see what there is for sale.
There will be the largest exhibition
ever made in Lansing of farm imple-
ments and machinery for sale, EN-.
