A DISPUTED HONOR. —Two simultaneous
dispatches have been received by Prof, Swift
of the Warner Observatory at Rochester, N.
Y., by which it appears that another great
comet has been discovered. Prof. Sharplcss
of Haverford College, Pa., states that L. T.
Edwards saw it with the naked eye on the
morning of June 23, and Mr. Edgar L. Lar
kin, of New Windsor, 111. also reports seeing
it and that it is vast. It seems probable that
the tail is not less than 15 deg. in length
while the head is as bright as Jupiter. The
new comet is located in the constellation of
Auriga about 8 degrees from Capella, and it
is not improbable that it may be the much
expected comet ot 1812 which should appear
not far from that locality. As the two dis
patches were received in Rochester simulta
neously there is some question as to whether
the honor of discovery, and the Warner prise
of S2OO belong to Mr. Edwards or Mr. Lar
kin.
