In a neighbouring county the Tory Candidate, tic'
companied by young Mr. B—r, of B—lb, called upos
an honest tailor at Markinch, to solicit his vote, and a billt
was dropped that perhaps some new clothes might be required.
" Na, na !" said the tailor, " they that turn their coats need
nae new class." " The Tailor of Markinch" is now a staa-
ing toast in that part of the country.—Dundee Chronicle.

ECLIPSE
TOTAL OF THE SUN IN SOUTH CAROB
LiNA.—A total eclipse of the sun occurred in South Caroline
oa the 30th of November last. The observations were made
by Mr. R. T. Paine, the distinguished American astronomer,
who was induced to proceed from Boston, his place of resi-
dence, to Beaufort, in South Carolina, a distance of nearly
1,000 miles, on purpose to witness the phenomenon. The te-
lescope with which Mr. Paine made his observations was $
four feet equatorial one, to which magnifying powers varying,
from 40 to 75 were applied. The following are the periods n`
the commencement and duration of the eclipse in the we°
solar time at Beaufort :

h. m. sec.
Beginning of the elipse 0 31 49 p.m.
Beginning of total darkness
End of total darkness 2 0 43
Termination of eclipse
Duration of total darkness 0 1 19
Duration of the eclipse
Mr. Paine, in a letter to his friend Mr. J. J. Audubon, (1!.;
scribing this phenomena, says—" I consider myself well repaid
by the observations I was enabled to make for all the trouble
and inconvenience attending my journey. The effect produced
on all animals was very great, whilst the unearthly appearanee„
it produced on surrounding objects can never be forgotten.
During the darkness the buzzards and the poultry were seen
flying to their places of roosting, and the plants of the mimosa
tribe closed their leaves. The only difference obserimble be'
tween this eclipse and the total one which occurred at Boston
in June, 1806, was, that, on this occasion, when the sun wag
completely concealed from sight, the moon appeared to be sat'
rounded by a beautiful effulgence, which in 1806 was not per"
ceived. This halo could not, however, be discerned through a
darkened glass. The following stirs and planets were visible.
Artanus, Lyra, Mail, Antares, Venus, and Mercury. The
thermometer fell six degrees during the time of the sun's oh a;
curation. No other total eclipse will occur in the Unite°
States during the present century.

ASSASSINATION AT SEA.—The ship Bostoiso
Captain Michael, has arrived at this port from New Yolk'
Captain Michael reports that at half-past seven p.m., on Si°
21st of November, one of his seamen, named James Barg'
who had been complaining much of the effects of intemperance
during the two days they had been at sea, went into the fore'
castle, armed with a long sheath-knife, which he had sharp'
ened in the afternoon, and stabbed two men who were sleeping
in their births, one named John Lewin, (on whose chest 11
painted John Lewin Douglas,") said to be from Liverpool, an
Charles Pendleton, said to be from Stonington, Connecticut'
Both were stabbed near the navel—only a single blow being
given each. Both expired in the course of twenty minutno
At the time the bloody deed was committed two of the crew
were reading on the opposite side of the forecastle, and 01'
hearing exclamations from the wounded men, they looked I.lle
and discovered the assassin making towards them with tli;
knife in his hand. One of them drew his sheath-knife, a?,
brandishing it at the assassin, caused him to run up the ladder
on the deck, the two men follon ing in pursuit, and hallooinf,
to those on deck, for the purpose of warning them of thel`
danger. Their chief officer hearing the disturbance, was in sill
act of going forward, when he observed Hardy running aft age
attempted to stop him, when the wretch stabbed him in tw
$
side, but fortunately the knife did not penetrate his body, agii,
struck him upon one of his ribs. The mate then seised
handspike, and running aft met Hardy, who had chased SI
man from the wheel, and a passenger from off the quarter-de '
and knocked him down, and in attempting to secure him At

ceived another very bad wound in the side of the face.
this time all on board were alarmed ; the second officer nat.
out of his room on deck, secured the murderer, and took tie
knife from him, after which he was ironed and put into tn
lower hold. When asked his reasons for thus killing two
nocent men who had never offended him, he answered he
not know—never knew them before he came on board the shird
t@ his knowledge—had served in British men-of war, and bs
never killed or wounded any one before, except in batt_ile:
Pendleton was about 40, and Lewin 24 years of age. gerw
is about 29 years of age.—Charleston Courier.
