" Sept. 25. Aurora Borealis. About 6'' 40™ the northern half of 

 the heavens was suttused with a red light, which gradually 

 disappeared except in the north and by east, where it in- 

 creased in intensity. At the same time radii of light of a 

 white color extended from and between the W., N. and E., 

 and met in a center directly in the zenith. Jets of light of 

 a bright orange color appeared in the east, which gradually 

 approached the S.E. when they were hid by the clouds. 

 About 8'^ 45™ the clouds began to roll away to the eastward, 

 when the northern half of the hemisphere was of a wliitish 

 color. The light was now chiefly confined to the east, where 

 a red light shone brilliantly : but upon the clouds moving off, 

 the light shot up in various directions between the north and 

 east. Herrick.

 of a burning house about 8''. Vanished and a Avliite light
