' As one of eair eit;. -a . Air. ii'.-sl Sen. was, on Sunday last, in the act ol pasl .sing lo a st- ani-iioat at our binding, the jt rill was driveti withsvcli for e against the guards of the f te amer, as to pass under then and k.io k him overboard. It was obout the centre of the channel, and Mr. l?esl no sw immer; and it seems 4 almost a miracle that lie was saved, as he must have drifted at least one huui dred yard. , (a great part of which he was entirely under v,.ier,) before '.lie

yawl reached him a second lime. AlfiTKOIlOLOGICAL, The electrical appearances in the. heavens, on Wednesday morning lal. were at the same time, strange and beautiful. We hae often, in the course of our lift?, st-en what are called f;il- ; ling" or ''shooting stars;'1 but w e never, before, witnessed a ..,',i:nr f thoe luminous meteors, nor do we recelh't t lo Have heard of its being a common occurrence. limergirg. suddenly, fiom a dark oinf, they t!iot ihrough the air like'sfreams of liipiid Iiie, so vivid v in many insfances. as to strike the be5 holder with a sudden impression of terror. Most of I hem seemed to disapi pear sudderdy.or ratlicr abruptly; and

tiic more hiilliani, constantly, loft a luminous track or pencil-like appearance behind them, strikingly indicative uf tin ir electrical character, and resembling the paler coruscations of that most singular phenomenon, the aurora borcali. Tei.ding.most generally, from east to west, they seemed to shoot in almost every decree of obliquity towards the earth; and from the hour of one, in the morning, when w c first observed them, continued to fall until thev were absorbed from our view b the ! 'ar a'.id upon liiit of day. Tney occupied the a!i no fwni .intent, and were not neco npanio:! with a noise or sound. Yt;e morning w ns bright and cairn. 1)V way of remark r.poa tills subject, we would obere that, e neither pro fess to l.'e sooth-savers nor star-gainers; and, of coarse, cannot predict, whether

die events that are to succeed tins wonderful phenomenon will be of a piopitions or disastrous character : el, while we have no doubt, that the supertitious noli. mis of some will lead them into a meat many fa;,: .sfn al cogitations and d'shoa:te:dag speculations in regard to it ; for our si eJe .-elf. vs e :nu?t coidess thai we are i-u hastened, as to (eel just as safe as if nothing of the kind had occurred, iu iiie mean time, for H e uratiiie.atmn of our readers, we make the following extracts fiotn I dements oi As.ronon." Wil Kins "Of Ihe oiiirin and real nature ol tho-c bodies, which are known to every o.io as fulling stars or nutrors, and ol .vim. ii many may he seen during almost every, clear evening, we are nearly oi pii'e as iguoraut as were our progenitors I'm e thousand years ago. instead tiiereiot i: o! t.o jeCMireson those point J nv hS ourselves to tne dcpi riptijii i a few of ihe most retnarkitjle pnen ai.e; ii il litis kind, lM-'ssrs. liitntiuldl and lijnpland, vlnlo at . uai a'la, la b,u'.:i America, witnessed a very remark. ihlc appearainc Oi l!i -iioi -. Tla: lai . ik r liius tie serines if. 'the n:got .i tho J u, .NoU'iiilii r, iTt'J wasv.otd ;o:d extit ly beautiful. Toward the morning, nom hall alter two, ihe most extraordinary luminous meteors were see. toward' the east. 13 inpi and, who had risen to enjoy the Iresiiucss of I ie an in tne gallery, perceived them first. thousands ol bolides (lire-bails) and falling stars, sun ti ded each other during four ao irs. Their direction was ver regular from north lo south. They iilled a space in the sk) cxaending from tiie line east 30 degrees towards tie. north and south, borne of them at lained a height of 40, and all exceeded 2b or AO degrees. There w as ven mile w ind, and no trace of clouds to be sec-n. Uonp'and relates, that from ihe beginning oi ihe phenomenon, there was not a space in the Knn mienl etpual la tx'.iiit lo laree diameters of the ii'ioh, weicti was i's)t idled at ever) lost. ml wilii bolides and falling stars. All these meteors left himiaous traces nom o lo 10 degrees in length; and the jiiiosphoresceiice oi I best; traces or luminous bauds, lasted teven or eight seconds. The bolides seemed to burst as by explosion; but the largest, those from 1 to I degree lb' in diameter (the iu an ittumtttr vf the tun is 30' 42",) disappeared without scintillation, leav ing benind them phosphorescent bands, exceeding in breadth lit' or XJ . "These bolides were visible at the same lime on the frontiers of Brazil, a distance of 230 leagues from Cumana. I was therefore powerfully struck at the immense hei;ii?, which (hey must have attained, lint wh it was my astonishment, when at my return to Eurooe, 1 learnt, that the same phenome non had been perceived on an extent of the globe of Gl degrees of latitude, and 91 degrees of longitude; al the equator in South America, at Labrador and Greenland, and iiGennauy! 'A phenomenon analogous to that of the 12th of November, w as observed thirty years before, on the table land of the Andes, in a country studded with volcanoes. At the city of Quito, there w as seen, in one part of ihe sky, above the volcanoe ol uayamba, so great a number oi tailing slais, that the moun tain was thought to be in flauies. This singular sight lasted more than an hour The people assembled in the plain of Lxico, where a m ignstieent view pre sents itsell ol Ihe highest summit of the Cordilleras. A procession was alreadv on lhe point of selling out from the convent of St. i Fran is, when it was perceived, that the blaze of the horizon was caused by hery meteors, winch ran along the skies in all direction?, at the altitude of 1 2 or 13 degrees."

Tin: RISING SUN. The title of a work is most generally significant, to a limited degree, of its character and design; though it can scarcely ever be presumed to convey them in a full, clear and cornptohensiw: manner. St has. indeed, been argued by the learned, as an apo'ogy for retaining professional maxims and technical terms in the dead languages, that they are more expressive and comprehensive than any others that can be substitute! in our native tongue.

V; would not have these remarl-.s -tamp us with any thing hkc arrogaiu.e. iuasinuc!) as the spring, uaiurail y ;uie involuntarily, from suggestions msepa rably connected with our subject. To comp ile our paper to the gr afountain of light, might, at the fns glance, seem like insuperable lolly; Im! we would ask, if any one can even think of the "Rising Sun," abstracted entirely from that effulgent lurninarc hey every morning see to climb the eastern hills? Besides, we would not presume lo carry out our comparison through every particular and attending circumstance. For inslan-e, "'The sun that simps (he clhcnal arch f hr.azen, Hues each morn and .sets ago in at r;v ,r" whereas, our sun only proposes to use but once, ami never to set, until i;s satellites shall he diminished so far in numbers and magnitude as to d"ny it even ihe pabulum of lite; and then h shall not be of choice but of necessity ; and must set but once and then alas! forever. We are aware, too, that some other inconsiderable contrasts exist between these illustrious lumiaaries. The Sun of heaven has to encounter, no do i- , great difficulties in dispersing the gloom of night and scattering the shades of darkness that continually obscure his path: whereas, other luminaries iia--long since opened the way for ours to travel, and cleared the atmosphere wdiere il is wont to shine. It only remains for it to rise and shed its light upon a world already enlightened, and which can only derive beuelit from it upon principles that advocate the kind and reciprocal influence of social intercourse. The celestial sun, too, is the great centre around which ail the planets revolve, suspended by, ami dependent upon his own native iniluencc; whereas, ours is a sun, humble iu its pretensions, of but inferior magnitude in a w orld oi luminaries that shine with superlative glory around it, and threaten to eclipse its best and brightest dibi ts. Still, we do not hold ourselves guilty of presumption in drawing this bold and daring comparison. We look upon the sun in yonder heavens with as much reverence as is due to inanimate beings

1c all the p!; !i'ies and ex cellencies tt.at are ja'iV due to so august a body.

The ground upon which it is situated, is thought to be alluvial, and the country back is undulating for several miles, after, which, the country is generally level. Within a few years past, the country, like the town, has exceeded all expectations. Rising Sun was laid out in 1815, and now contains about 1000 inhabitants. It is remarkably salubrious, and is distinquished for its enterprize and good moral society. To view it from the river, it presents the most attractive inducement to strangers, and looks more like a neat landscape painting than a town in reality: the following is a synopsis of Rising Sun: There are seven extensive retail Stores, one Tavern, three Groceries, two Bakeries, three Tailor shops, one Steam Flouring Mill, (another was recently put up in the vicinity--owned by the Messrs North's) one steam Sawmill, one Grist mill, one wool Carding Factory, one Steam Engine Factory, one Blacksmith Shop, 4 Cabinet shops, one Wagon-maker, one Tanyard, one Tini shop, two Saddlers' shops, three Hat manufactories, four Cooper shops, one Silver-smith, one Printing Office, three Boot and Shoe factories, two Potteries two Painters, two Physicians, one Surgeon, and an innumeral number of Carpenters, brick and stone Masons, &c. There are three Churches, one Presbyterian, one Methodist, and one Christian Baptist. The people have taken active measures for the improvement of their youth; they have erected a commodious Seminary and supplied it with most of the necessary aparatus for illustrating the principles of Philosophy, Astronomy and Mathematics. Near the seminary Mr. Tapley has erected a splendid building, as a boarding house; and young men can now take as thorough, and cheap a course, as they can at any other similar instituion in the West. But the state of "common schools" has been indifferent, and they really appear lo get worse: it is to be hoped that the people will be aroused from their lethargic state, and know, that if they wish to make classical and scientific scholars of their offspring, (as a majority of them undoubtedly do) the must employ thorough elementary instructors, and keep them until they are thoroughly grounded in a common English education; after which, they are prepared to enter our College--and not before. E.S.B. MARRIED-- On the 24th Oct., by the Rev.W. Lewis, Mr. Prince Allen Athearn to Miss Louisa Hastings. On the 31st Oct., by the same, Mr. John McKnight to Miss Jerusha Loring all of Rising Sun.
