was adopted. W. W. Parker, Joshua

After short recess, the chairman of

among that excitable people, that the as
tronomers issued a circular demonstrating
all their fears to be groundless. History

memory of that cornel " will last while tho

the world was astonished by the near ap
proach of one of these visitors, a fiery-red
comet, which exhibited himself for a fe
weeks, and then cleared out to parts un
known, to the great relief of mankind m
general. : He is chiefly memorable for the
calculations which Sir Isaac Newton m!

ability, periodic revolution, and the terri
ble shines he will cut np on his next return
to our vicinilr. Sir Isaac computea in
rate at which this comet sped along in it
fiery track, during its nearest approach to
the son, to be eight hundred and eight
thousand miles an hour, Its heat at t
thousand times greater than red-hot iron,
and that If it were the size end density o
our globe it would take st least fifty thou
