deatb--was apprehended at this place on
Monday evening last, by MIR. Thomas
EohoDB, Who had heard OF him OF Owego
upop the Susquehanns, and followed him
$50 miles. Ills apprehension was attend
ed with singular circumstances. OnSun.
day he arrived here he was unsuccess-
ful in three or four applications he made
for passage down the river; he cont
nued in the vicinity. upon Grants Hill,
considerable part Of the day, and was FIRE.
quently upon the point ofcomnitting the
dreadfui aSt of self murder, but was hap
PLY deferred by directing Providence.
Monday night he called al Mr.. Hender-

Mr.. Cohoon came in and was informed

10 whom he addressed himself. and dis
covered that he answered the description

said, yoa are tie man, the hand dropped {:
It was pistol which was cooked twice,
and oDiy prevented from doing execution
by Mr.. Colsoon's fitmness. They took

On the 18th of June, 1906, there will
be total eclipse of the Sun, visible IL tho
air be clear. The darkness, occasioned
by this remarkable eclipse, will be SO
great, that if our atmosphere should be
free from clouds, the stars will undoubt-
eddy appear.
A total eclipse of the Sun, is such q
rare phenomenon in the catalogue of G.
cliPses, that there viii not probably be an
other of the kind, at the same place, with
10 the period of the present generation.
We have therefore, for the qualification
OF such of our readers as delight in con-
templating the beauty Of celestial pheno-
mena, been at the trouble of making some
calculations relative to the different as
pects and phases of this great eclipse

primary object aud whole intention to be

Passage of the ACT of l795. But says my
colleague, Congress resolved 10 apply for
the purchase of all NE territory in ques,i-
an, and thisis notice to the claimants who
now are before US. Sir, the gentleman
raistakes the resolution. 1t is "that the

here as most substantial distinction be.
tween tire case put by my colleague, and
the ore stated in the resolve, it is not an.
thorishg the purchase from Georgia of all,
ar part OF the territory in question but of
their ciaim to all or any part Of the land
within tie Indian boundaries. From the
whole OF the documents it does appea,
that ne,lher the President, nor Congress
knew there WIS fraud, or that any notic'
s1press or implied was given, that In
measure originated in corruption; and
does not By any means appear that tn
present claimants had such notice.
