NORTHERN LIGHTS SEEN.
a Brilliant Display of the Aurora soroaIis

A Brilliant Display of the Aurora BoreaIis.
The Northern lights were seen earl
Ter at the Worcester Theatre this sea-
son, but the display seen in the rome Of
the heavens Tuesday evening had a
more elaborate and grander setting, al
though the performance was not SO pro-
longed. The first waves of light from
the northern horizon were seen over
spreading the sky about O'clock, and
the display continued for over an hour.
Myriad streamers of green and blue,
blended in fantastic effects, radiated
from the zenith in every direction. The
intensity of the color would occasionally
fade away and but faint delicate pen
Gil line would be traceable If the heav-
ems. Then the light would broaden
again and the fairy forms Of the aurora
borealis would run up and down the
long streamers, dancing and tripping,
as If to music. So grand was the scene
that the nature admirers, who were
awed by the sublimity of the, scene, were
rudely accused of rubber-necking caus-
ing descent from the sublime to the ri
diculous.
