The
Comet
Which
is visible in the northern parts of the heavens, a
writer in the N.Y.E. Post of [Sep.] 7, thinks it the
same which was observed at Chillicothe about the 14th of
May last. Its progress then (says he) has been
nearly from S. W. by N. E. by N and it has advanced in
that direction about 70 degrees. It will probably
disappear to the northward, and it is assumed will be
seen above the horizon during the whole night before its
total disappearance.
“On the 4th it was cloudy in the N. W. and knowing it
would rise a little before 3 o’clock in the morning, the
writer of this rose at 2 o’clock, and saw it very
plainly in the N.W. according to his expectations.
Astronomers who are provided with the necessary
instruments, will, it is believed, have several more in
which they can make observations, and better advantage a
few weeks hence, than present.”
