It was the representattion of a human baud of immense proportions, awe inspiring in its realistic vividness. Early in the evening the sky in the North had a peculiar appearance, which, as the night wore on, took the form of flashes of light constantly changing in color, pulsiDg up from the horizon and again subsiding, but with each appearance becoming more brilliant and unnatural. This continued until abont 11 o’clock, when those watching the phenomena were terrified to see these plumes of light consecrate into a distinct object, which soon assumed the proportions of a giant hand, well formed and as distinct as if painted upoa the black background of the sky.The hand appeared to be a shadowy substance, through which waves of light of a blood red color surged ub regularly as heart beats in a human breast and then fell off at the ends of the fingers in drop3 of the same color, almost as large as hot-air balloons. The first finger of the hand pointed down toward the sleeping city as if warning the people of some woe about to fall upon them.The spectacle lasted for about an hour, and was witnessed by hundreds who were breathless with suppressed excitement, until slowly it began to fade away and fioally disappeared altogether. It was one of the strangest and yet most impress ive exhibitions of nature ever witnessed, and speculation regarding its cause and significance will not abate for many a day.— The republicans have strong hopes of carrying North Carolina this year.
