by an annular eclipse, is, that the apparent
or visible diameter of the Sun will on that
day, be larger than the Moon's and ring

of such barbarous treatment, they were IN

no relief could be afforded her, for she was
expiring-she died on the day following
The selectmen, on hearing the report,
ordered the body to be dug up; aud, on
opening the coffin and examining the body
many stripes were to be seen, and her body
burned almost black. The perpetrators
being present, and examined by jury OF
inquest, were brought in guilty OF wilful
murder.

Surprising the alteration in the order OF

be corrected by suppression OF the publica-
