An Electrical Wonder.

During Thursday night, September
IS, from about eight till near ten
O'Clock, there was visible at Virginia
City, New, n peculiar celestial phcnome-
non. This was in the shape of bright,
white rays, proceeding from u point
somewhere below the horizon in the
north, and spreading to the south and
west like a fan. These rays did not
stop at the zenith, but, extended down to
to the south and west At the time, says
the Enterprise, the sky was perfectly
clear, and the spaces between the rays
were of the deepest blue. Hundreds of
| people on the COmstock were watching
this strange sight. At first not a few
were inclined to think that new comet,
the most wonderful of them all, had APP
peared The rays were just rs sharply
defined as is the tail of the present com
ct. Some were inclined to believe what
was seen were rays from an aurora bore

that the bars or rays were only pecula!
cloud formation. A peculiarly of the dis
play was that the rays moved slowly
from west to east, like the spokes of re
volving wheel. In thus moving the ray,
were unbrokcn, and the spaces of brigh
blue sky between them remained as vel
defined as at first.
1t was supposed that the phenomenon
was local, though nothing of the kline
had ever before been seen here. Now
however, it appears that the same
appearance was seen in places in Cali
fornia. As strOaks of cloud material o
vapor could not have been seen to sucl
distance, it is evident that tn
rays were at an immense height
and must have been electrical
