This strange phenomena was witnessed and watched with intense interest by many in this vicinity, and near eight o'clock a luminous body of unusual form was visible in the north eastern sky tor many minutes. As others more competent described it, it exhibited such a form as would be shown if two small comets were joined together by the heads or nuclei, with the tails extending in a straight line in opposite directions, long and narrow, spread out at the ends and compressed in the centre; or it may be more popularly described as appearing somewhat like two closed fans joined to gether at the handle ends so as to lie in a straight line. It appeared to be nearly stationary, and seemed to be suspended perpendicularly to the plane of the hori zon. The light was a bright orange, ap proaching to a red color, and it grew brighter as long as it remained visible, wlech was until it was obscured from view by the clouds that soon after over spread the sky.—Doillearcnon Democrat. wnibiLy Mug Revelatiens The following - letter is sent to the - New Yotk Tribune from the District Attor ney's Office as the copy of a letter writ ten by Mr. John AI.

Wet.uirewroN, D. C., k'eli."2l, 1865. Sue': I address you a solemn word, man to man and heart to heart. It seems that John D. McHenry for Jelling the truth is to be tried to-morrow on a charge of perjury. As soon as I realized that the unspeakable calamity of a false con viction was likely to befall this honest man,l stayed my hand, for it is better that en guilty men should escape than one innocent suffer. Bat he is to suffer notwithstanding my forbearance/. Truly indeed will it then cease to be a virtue. I need not remind you that my last six month's opportunities have given me much knowledge, and knowledge is pow er, even against members of Congress and millionaires. If you prefer, Mr. Harland, with some of your friends, to come forth from the rings at large to per sonally challenge my resources and my will, be it so. The result, if I live, shall surprise you. Pity would be blasphemy for men who had ruined an honest ob scure citizen for telling the truth in a Court of Justice at the demand of his country. I hate no man and am desti tute of personal resentment for anything which has been aimed at myself. But in this matter, I declare - by the Lord, that I will avenge every injured hair of Mc- Henry's head. If ray ( power be doubted, events will show in due time, whose is the risk. I think I have it in my heart, my head, and my papers. I speak in good will. JOHN M. BINCKLIVT. Tnomes Hrenwo, Present: P. B.

About 3:15 o'clock Monday morning the tower of the Methodist church in Morrisiana, New York, sunk with a ter rible crash to the' \ ground. The church is a new one, having been dedicated on the 17th of last November. It was built of the patent American brick and imita tion freestone made of the sametaterial as the brick. The cost of building the church was about $42,000. The tower was about twelve feet square, and ex tended from the foundation, on thenorth east corner of th building, square until it reached a shor distance above the roof, about forty feet, the top of the spire being about 125 feet from the ground. The tower sunk down in a mass, only a few of the bricks falling the width of the street, forcing large crevices in the ad- joining parts of the building, racking and breaking the windows near the tower. -The inside of the building is compare- Atv,ely uninjured, The cause of the acci dent IS variously attributed; by some, to the action of, the frost causine contraction to the building, by others, to the soft condition of the construction materials, the brick and itnitation freestone in the fall being broken into small pieces, which are easily crumbled in the hand. Had the tower fallen a few hours later, a terri ble loss of life must , almost inevitably have resulted. \ The damage to the build ing will not be less than $20,000, and it is probable that the whole building will have to be taken' down, in which case the • loss will reach $40,000, which 1111 fall entirely on the congregation.
