A correspondent of the Auburn, n. Y,
Advertiser calls attention to a singular
blunder in the English translation of the
Hebrew Bible. In II. Chronicles, xxi,
20, and the first of the next chapter
Ahazieh, king of Judah, is made out to
be two years older than his father. In II.
Kings, viii, 26, his age is correctly given.
This error is not rectified in the revised
edition.
The store room occupied by Messrs.
Orr e. Sloan is to be remodeled. Tho
room is to be extended out even with the
room occupied by Mr.. j. J. Baker, and a
very handsome front put in. The en-
trance will be on the corner, arranged
similar to the bank building. When
completed it will be one of the handsom-
est stores in the city, and this popular
firm will be better prepared than ever to
meet the wants Of its large and increasing
trade.

The two comets that are approaching
the earth are coming at tremendous rate
AS comets willard promise to be OBJ
jects of great brilliancy. Prof. II. "A.
Newton, of the Yale Observatory, thinks
they will be brighter about May l, and
will show we'll in the northwestern sky.
The one discovered by tho French OBJ.
server, Fabry, will come relatively very
near-within distance of only 15,0O0,-
600 miles, or but little more than ono
half the distance of the planet Venus. 1t
is not yet certain that both comets will be
visible at the same time in the same quar-
ter of the heavens, but it is possible that
that unusual spectacle may occur.
