LAST evening an aurora of rather unusual brilliancy was seen here. I happened to be out with a friend in the country about sunset, when the sky was completely overcast and fine rain was falling. We noticed that darkness did not come on so quick as usual, and at 7 o'clock it was so light as to lead my friend to believe that the moon was shining above the clouds. Later in the evening slight breaks began to appear in the clouds, through which the first magnitude stars were just visible, and through these openings an intense red illumination appeared. The spectroscope gave from every part of the heavens a very bright line in the green, and another fainter one nearer the blue, together with a diffused light over the green and blue parts of the spectrum. The brightest part of the aurora was towards the S.W. From the large amount of light, although it was raining at the time, it must have been one of the brightest auroras that have been witnessed for years.
