@The steamer John Hancock sank
one day last week while opposite Com.
merce, about fifteen miles below Cape
Girardeau. At last accounts the main
deck was still out of the water. The
hull, we understand, was insured in the

the sum of $4,000. There was also an
insurance upon the cargo of 81 800, di.
sided amongst the different Offices in
that city, which will be nearly all saved.

A day or two ago, at one ofthe lam

= THE ECL1PsE.-1he weather was so cloudy yes
terdav morning. that little opportunity was offered
for observation of it. Although but partially obscur-
ed here. vet it was total over large space of the
world and on that account Is one Of the most inter-
esting ecpses that has occurred for many years. 1t
was total in the southern parts of Norway and Swe-
den, in northern Prussia, Poland, and Russia. The
eclipse mole less visible to the whole of
North America, the North Atlantic Ocean down TO
the SOth degree of latitude the whole of Europe and
the northern par; of Africa. The total eclipse COM
menced on the N. w. coast of North America, near
Queen Charotte's Island, traversing the continent
of America, the Rocky Mountains, to the Slave
Lake. Afterwards the central line pas: ed Mel
vile peninsula, into Greenland where arrived at
2h. 5m. Thence it passed north of Iceland, and
reached the coast Of Norway, about 40 miles north
ofBergen, the total eclipse extending at this time
over zone $50 miles broad. We had the opportp-
nifty, when boy, of witnessing the most remarkable
total eclipse ofmodern times, which occurred in 1906.
The phenomena attending it are almost as distinct
and vivid in our mind as lift occurred but yesterday.
There another total eclipse in 1922 visible in
Europe, butnot here The extraordinary effects pro-
duced upon the animal creation in France, at that
time, (many similar TO which witnessed by US,
also, in 1907 are thus described by NJ. Arago:
''In 1872 horses came to sudden stand-stiIl, and
neither whip nor goad would induce them to move.
Oxen in the fields, arrayed themselves in circle,
back to back, with their horns outward, as if to
resist the attack Dogs lied for refuge to their mas
tiers, bowling piteousy, daring the continuance othe
darkness. A hen surrounded by her chickens, has
tily collected them under her wings. Birds fell up
on the ground, apparently dead from fright, or per-
shed by dashing themselves against walls and Chin
neys. AT Venice, swallows were taken readily in
the streets, fear having deprived them of the power
of escape. Owls and bats made their appearance,
but quickly retreated when the eclipse was over
Bees, which had left their hives in great numbers at
sunrise, returned until the darkness ceased, and
swarm of ants was seen to stop suddenly their
march. Delicate plants, as the convolvulus, mimo-
sa, &c, closed their leaves.
We presume that astronomers and scientific men
from various parts of the world, visited the section
in which the eclipse total, and that we shall,
ere long, have the results of their observations there

How 1t works.

The hunkers who depore the existence of free
soil party, and who would like to be allowed to com
fortaby kiss the feet ofthe stakeholder without any
body but doughfaces, silver greys, and hunkers to
witness the act and denounce them for their spaniel
ism, respectfully solicited to consider what ef
feet the recital of the following is likely to have
upon men with free minds? and what influence it is
likely to exercsngn realizing their dream by night,
their cry by day-''peace."
A negro woman, who had been confined in the
Jail at West Chester, Pa, for larceny was discharg-
ed at O'Clock in the morning of the 9th of June,
when, before she left the prison, in which she had
been visited by slave hunters, with the permission Of
the jailers, she seized fugitive slave, drag
ged before a commissioner, and without counsel,
witnesses, friends in Is minutes was condemned,
hurried to closed carriage, and carried off to sla-
very while the people slept
We wonder if the Spragueites and Websterites
call this an instance of the legitimate operation Of
law and of regard for the guarantees of the Const
tuition? We wonder also, what protection from kid
mapping the people are to have henceforth? Ifwhat
is technically called law is in favor of such outrages
thus, and if the whole influence of the government
is lent to sustain such monstrous state of anarchy
who can lie down at night with the assurance of
safety We wonder what freesoiler could become
apathetic in view of such unpublished despotsm?

THE NEW HosPIrAL.-We notice in the pa
pers, sundry articles setting forth the advantages and
claims of certain towns for the location Of the new
hospital. 1t is very certain that but one town can
get it, and we would therefore advise those who are
favorably located for that purpose, and who really
desire to have it, to come forward and hold out q
suitable inducement for its location among them.-
That is what Worcester did on former occasion
and there can be no doubt that the offer Of suitable
real estate as donation, would have strong inIlu
ence with the Commissioners, the more especially
as the sum granted by the State is understood 10 be
rather scant for the purpose.
