This comet is a hazy, woolly, looking ob ject slightly oval, with a very short. bushy tail. It has a star like nu clewu and was moving at the rate of about24 per cent in a day, at thp date of observation. At the above date: it was `in the constellation of Cygnus, a littie north of the bright star Denel, and, nearly overhead at 9 p. m. and was headed for Lvra and 6piuhltas. It is visible to tiw caked eye, if one knows when to look for it but few would recognize it if they saw it as it has not the regula idn .tail. In a. good field glass it should appear ,well defined. In small. telescopes it appears well defin ed in the nucleus or centre, but gradually fades away to nothing at outer edge. It is cheifly interesling from the fact that none know whence it came or whether it will go, after making its loop* arouid the sun, which it will do Qn the 23d of Nov ber pet. - . - YOUT KMOW WBHAT YOU AtRII TAKING When yqu. take Grove8s Tasatless..Chilk Tpniic b1cause the formura. is plainly printed on every bottle showing that it is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form.
