$4,000 Cor it. The new location was
about four squares away from the old.
ana was in every way more eligible
and desirable. The house, while sub
stahtlai ana commodious. was in urgent
need of improvements. These were
made at cost of over $4,000. These
with interest charges and other neces-
sary expenses made the amount to be
raised $4,000. Against this was the

sionS was observed to be .-i.Hl.-illg more
plainly visible each minute about the
moon, and when that satellite OF the
earth reached Is To 20 degrees ascen-
sion its light showed concentration to
the form of n cross of moderate di-
mansions. At the same time an arc or
another circle, whose centre would have
been near the zenith. was noted extend
ing through the first circle about the
moon which Ii cut at it's greatest dl-
ameter. and passed some five degrees
below the moon Thif arc was fun
third of a circumference in size. The
unusual and beautiful sight increased
in hriliancc until the moon reached
about 20 degrees. thon Wancd until
when nbout % degrees ascension the
