Appearances calculated to estrange the

mind from the common course of observation, are always effectual in directing it to

the source from wnence they emanate. It

is admitted by all that the moon has her in

tluence and that the sun lends her light; and

that Venus is the evening and morning star. These observations arc made as intro

ductorv to what we are about to relate.

On Wednesday last (April 30,) a heavy

sound similar to the discharge of artillery

was heard, about o o clock, a. m. apparent

y descending in a perpendicular direction rom the Heavens this was followed by

something like that of musquetry firing in

dehle, and in regular succession. Alter a momentary intermission, the long roll was

heard distinctly and as correct as if it had

been beaten on a drum accompanied with

something like the feu dc joy.

These sounds were heard in Shelbyville,

Rushville, and many other places, more

than fifty miles distant from each other.

We have a cloud ol the most respectable

witnesses to testify to this statement, among whom is our present senator Col. James

Oregon.

The pood old book tells us, that "sisrns will

appear in the Heavens," and to shew the

co-incidence, or rather, to demonstrate that

facts are stubborn things, we add something

which, though old, is not without analogy.

Constantino the Great, who took posses

sion of Byzantium (now Constantinople) in

the year 1453, observed previous to a cele

brated battle, a cross in the Heavens He cried out to his army Ecce Signum, (behold the sign) The consequence was, the Turks were defeated and Constantino embraced C h r is t ia n i ty . India n apolis Gaz.

"Some dig for golden ore" It is the opir.on of some, that corn will be scarce during

the next year, in the vicinity of the gold

nines, buch is the thirst after this flitter

ing evil, that many will probably neglect their ploughs to wash the auriferous sand?.

Thc discovery of Barringers mine has set

the people to searching for gold in places where it was never before thought of. With

in the few past weeks, we hear of its being found in i(ty places. The fact is, there is a region of country lying between this place

nd t ayetteville, which may be called the

gold region. In tfjat region, there is scarce

ly a mile square in which particles of gold may not be found. In the neighborhood of this place, within a few dajs the metal has been found at several places. We have seen specimens from Peter Brown's, (about seven

miles easi oi aaiismiary.) where some 40 to 50 dollars have been picked up in pieces, from one to 10 grains in size. Since January, o or 6000 dollars of thc metal has been sold at this place, principally, however, from the pits at Barringer's, where of lte, we learn but little is found. At Parker's and near Montgomery court-house, the diggers continue to make wages at 50 to 100 cU-

per day. Jestcm Carolinian

We some time since noticed several in

genious specimens of miniature cutlery made

by a native workman of this citv, Mr. Sam-

uei rooiey, and have now to mention an ad ¬

ditional proof of his skill and industry in the manufacture of a complete set of.knives and

forks, with all the appendages of a Lilliputian dinner apparatus, which, together with two pair of razors, several smafler knives, scissors, &c. are contained in a small box not four inches square. The pen-knives are composed often distinct pieces, and the largest weighs 4 1-4 lOths of a grain. The whole are intended as a present to the President of the United States, and certainly are curious specimens of the state to whic h the art can be brought by extreme skill and in dustry.JV. Y.

New Theory. Professor Hanstien considers the Aurora Uosealis, as a luminous ring surrounding the magnetic pole with a radius varying

trom liU tieg. to &U deg. and at tl.e height of about

one hundred miles above the surface of the earth.

It formed, he thinks, by luminous columns shoot

ing upward from the earth's surface, in a direction

parallel to the inclination of tb; needle, and to the direction of the earth's magnetism: these columns render the atmosphere opaque while they pass through it, and only become Juminious after they pass beyond it From the outer or con vex side of the ring, beams dart forth in a direction nearly perpendicular to the arch, and ascend toward the zenith; and if they are so long as to pass it towards the south, they collect in the south into a sort of corona or glory, which is situated in that point of the heavens to which the south pole of the neefx?a

points. Professor H. finds that observations made respecting the northern Aurora are well explained by this hypothesis; and he has collected facs to show that a similar ring exists around the southern magnetic pole situated in New Holland the northern beins in North America. He infers farther, though the stock of observations is rather deficient, that similar luminous rings exist above the. two ex

tremities of th secondary magnetic axis in Siberia and in Terra del Fuego. Boston Jllcd. Int.

An old bachelor, named William Gait, died lately in Richmond, leaving property, according to his own estimate, amounting to 750,000 dollars. He emigrated from Scotland, in 1775, and commenced trading with a pedlars pack. At that time he did not own an acre of soil, hut in 1825, he could
