The Butcher-Knife, Volume 2, Number 7, Danville, Hendricks County, 12 September 1857 — Page 3

For the! Catcher Knife. JS New Luminary With the aid of r. -Qwerfd-trtngnifying telescope of a clear night, may be discovered ia the political heavens, just emerging from behind the Dog-star, a slrane luminary body, v;hich at first ws taken for a planet of the smallest magnitude revolving around Birius as its common center. But up-.i close observation was found to be a comet of still less dimensions and famous only for the length and

breadth of its tail, and the overabundance of wool about its diminutive nucleus. Like all other opake bodies, it has no luhi of its own, and is rendered visible in darkness only by the reflection of liglit from the luminous bodies with which it is surrounded. By accurate astronomical observations taken of this phenomenon, it is found that the. stranger will be visible of nights in the counties of Boone and Hen'dricks only, from the middle of October next, until after the State election of '53, and will impart no other than borrowed liffht. nor shine elsewhere than as above indicated. Professor Neil, formerly of small pox noloriet. , but now of the Lebanon Obfervatory, has the honor of first discovering this celestial wonder of eternal space, and calculating the boundary of territory over which its borrowed light will be cast. Since his mission to Danville, and the object of his visit as well as that of his discovery became known, the dogfenntd astrologers of this place have tramped down the last particle of the precious weed n making nihtlv obserrations of this newcomer, and in calculating its beneficial results to them in the f enatorial election next fall, when Boone and Hendricks shall vote together. With the aid of good instruments of a clear night, and the wool surrounding the nucleus not intervening, the locality of the "Boone County Ledger" changed to Danville and Billy Lewis on the tripod, can ba seen, and Sam and Sambo embracing each other like the Irishman and the bear in the wrestle ' BOONE.
