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