Now. assumingmat Dr. Cummings was rigm. what was to have bt'eu anticipatch m the afternoon ofthe l3lh uf June. a: the hour appointed, hearing -in minu that the npiniuns enlcrluincd by astro- nmncrs, as to the comparmivul_\‘ harm- less nature of comets, were undoubt- edly correct I After all the ridicule which has been heaped on the prediction that a comet was to collide with the earth on the 13th of June,â€"-after all the small witticisms which haw.- been expended on the believers in the possibility of with an occurrence,-â€"it is now evident that some remarkable and unusual dis- turbing cause was in operation, over the whole country, at the very time predicted for the collision. The quesv tion, “ Will the comet strike 1” is now changed into another form-â€"has the comet struck i Let us luok at this fair- ly for a little. During the discussion consequent Upon the prediction of Dr. Cummings. the astronomers favored-us with many concurrent opinions. going to show two things: First. there would be no coll« islon ; but second, if there were, it would do no great harm. We were told that a comet was a gaseous body. that in event of collision no perceptible shock would take place, and only some more or less violent atmospheric dis- turbance would result. In this state- ment all scientific men agreed, and we think the events of the lath of June. 1857, will go far to confirm the aCcu- racy oftheir deductions, and to excite still more the wonder ofthe uneducated mind at the profundity and extent of astronomical research. But we must qualify this remark with another. It is, perhaps. not to be regretted that men of science Were so unanimous against a prediction which has been pretty certainly fulfilled. Why was this sol There seems to have been a knowledge universally diffused. that a comet was to approach unusually near the earth at this time. A very few Were bold enough to say thatan actual contact would take place ; Butâ€"mark thisâ€"had the leading astronomers as- sented to this. and given to the predic- tion the weight of their names, they would have inflicted an evil much greater than the collision itself. [m- agine for a moment the result. No matter how strongly they might have asserted the harmless nature ofcomets. one brooding horror would have dwelt upon the soul of man from the hour of prediction to that of fulfillment. As in the perils of storms at son, when the sinking ship is settling to her doom, some go wild with hideous mirth. some curse their Maker. and die with blas- phemies upon their lips, while with some reason is dethroned, and suicide cuts short the agonyâ€"so would a lttl'gt' part of the commun:ty have felt and acted in expectation of the comet. We have reason to be thankful for that providential ignorance which saved us such a misery. This is alone a sulfi- cient reason why philosophers. calm and secure in their own superiorintel ligence, should have denied the predic- tion. Again, there was another feel- ing. a pride of caste. llr. Cummings was obscure. and they would not ac- cept his calculations. At any rate. from whatever motive, they denied their truth, and it is fortunate for man- kind that they did so. THE CUMle DID STRIKE. From the Bzgfl'aln Commercial We need not add other incidents of these storms. Shall we call all this more accidents, or was some one great cause at wnrk that day. of which these storms were but what we have callcd‘ themâ€"the mere eddies of the great whirl p nduced by the contact of th‘ immense gaseous currents of' frightl‘u Ve-lm-ityT It was nnt to 1e expected that so in regions separated by thousands of miles, accompanied by unusual electri- cal phenomena, and preceded by other extraordinary circumstances, was all that we had any reason toexpect from the comet. Now, whatare the evidences ofsuch disturbances, and what are their at- Iending circumstances? l In Illinois, at Aurora, the storm was ‘also terrihly siivcre. At Panza. mt the lllinois Central Railroad. it was f.ir lworsc than even in Oneida county, ol this State. A correspondent of the Chicago Trtbune says, “ it has levelled twent} -five houses in our Village, and .lone serious damage to fifty others. .ll‘llly «if the houses left standing arr lt:lld|‘rtrd worthless, being riven nnd dumb-roll. Some of the houses haVe .m-u taken up so clean, and precipig lulu] from their foundations, that you would hardly tell where they had stood. ‘ Roofs won.- on rried through the air as if they were straws.” Theseasonhadbeen unusual. Frdm the lst of April to the 15th of June, nearly twelve surface inches of rain had fallen, more than double the usual quantity. As the day of collision ap- proached. the character of rain-storms became unusual. In Philadelphia, on l‘hursday preceding,small black clouds passed over, which discharged hogs- heads of water in solid bulk at inter- vals. In Willing: Alley about two hogsheads of water fell in all, and cov- ered a space of only thirty feet, while all else was dry. About the same time. remarkable rains occurred in Chataque and Stcu- ben counties, causing heavy floods. During all this time the weather was cool, the great heats out of which tor- nadoes are always generated had not existed. The air of Saturday morn. ing was still and cool ; until, all at once, at about 2, P. M.. the very hour designated for the contact ofthe comet there occurred in far separated regions a series of fearful storms. each inde- pendent ofthe other, with a total dis- connection. so far as any ordinary cansation is concernzd, but with such a remarkable coincidence as to time and character, that some single and unuSual source can only account for them. The storm in Oswcgo, Onedia and Schenectady counties is evidently one, but so different was it from the ordin- ary tornado, that many who have studied it refuse to class it with any known phenomenon. In Connecticut, another eddy of the great whirl produced by the contact of the atmosphere of the earth with that ol' the comet, manifested itself at chlhersfield. “Hail-stonesfellvery thick, and ofa peculiar shape. being more like ice broken up in pieces of from hulfan inch to an inch square. Among the hail-stones were noticed also icicles that fell from the clouds, ranging from two and a-half to three inches long, and about half an inch thick." That in Massachusetts was less re- markable, but it seems to have been isolated from the New York storm. In Kentucky, the city of Louisville was “ visited by a storm that, in ter- rible intensity and violence, exceeded all the rest. The sky was overcast about dusk will) omenous black clouds, l'ollowud by a wind-storm that. for a few moments, seemed irresistible. Sud- dcnly \lic wind ceased, and \he rain puurcd down in torrents, accompanied by the most vivid lightning and terrific thunder." No. 5.

Nicholson writes as follows, from Mons, in Belgium :-â€"“ Probably you may think the following ‘Notes of Travel, sufliciently interesting for in. sertion in your agricultural columnsâ€" The mode of preserving butter detail- ed below is new,to me, at all events, and I can vouch for the perfect success attending it, having to-day tested some butter that was so treated three years ago. I believe the method is extensive- ly pursued not only in Belgium, but also in Switzerland. The modus operandi appears to be as follows :â€"lnto a clean pan place any quantity of fresh butter- from ten to fifty poundsâ€"and place it over a gentle fire, so that it may melt gradually, carefully, and especiai‘ ly attending to the following point, namely, to let the fire or heat be so graduated that the melted butter does not come to a boil in less than an hour and a half or two hours. During this time, when it is under a gentle simmer, the butter must be well stirred with a wooden spoon or stick, so that the whole may be well intermixed together and the top and the bottom made fre- quently to change places. At the end of this time, when the melted butter continues at a gentle boil an hour longer â€"the stirring being still continued. but not necessary so frequent as before. The pan is then removed from the file. and set aside to cool graduallyâ€"this process ofcoolinggeneratlly takes about an hour and a halfâ€"when there will be deposited a whitish cheesy sedimvnt, which is carefully to be prevented from mixing with the butter which is (still being liquid) to be slowly poured into an earthenware jar or vessel in which it is to be kept. Butter so treated will keep sweet and palatable for years without the addition of salt, or any particular precaution to exclude the air from it. The residueâ€"the cheese- like Sediment alluded toâ€"is afterwards used as food, and esteemed highlv nutritious." HOW TO PRESERVE BUTTER. Law Respecting Nevapapcrs. DOMESTIC COOKERY.
