To Find the Comet.—Late in the
evening, say about 11 o'clock, you
will see pretty well up in the north
eastern heavens the bright star Vega
in tho Harp. It may bo certainly
recognized by means of two faint
stars close by it, with which it makes
a beautiful little triangle. The comet
is almost on a line drawn from Vega
to tho Pole star, and yon can find its
place by noting that it is below and
a little to the left of the Hoad of tho
Dragon, which is marked by a lozenge
shaped figure lying a few degrees
northwest of Vega.
