DARK DAYS.

Saturday last will doubtless long be re
membered by the people of this region @
country as 1.-THE dark day." The phenom
enon exhibited on that day was, to say thu
least of it, unusual, and such as TO excite
the apprehension in the minds Of many o
some supernatural and disastrous event.
During Friday the atmosphere was exceed
ingly foggy-owlng, as was supposed, te
fire in the forests west Of us-and the sur
went down with peculiar, red appearance
Saturday morning was cloudy, damp and
chilly. About twelve o'clock, the clouds
thickened, and seemed to promise protract
ed season of rain. Between one and two
o'clock they assumed most portentous as
pect in the West, being of almost inky
blackness. A violent storm was of course
anticipated, but just before it was expect
ed to break, we were quite suddenly de-
prived of nearly all daylight. The dark
ness was so great as to make the use OF can
dies necessary in dwellings, and we are in
formed that fowls went to roost. This OBJ
scuration continued some ten minutes, &C
companied by slight thunder and occasion
al flashes of lightning. when the dark cloud
spread out over the sky and assumed a
bright yellow hue. A gentle shower OF
rain succeeded, and every unusual appear
ance passed away.
Phenomena of this kind, though uncom-
mon, are by no means Unprecedented
We learn from Noah WEBsTER's work on
Pestilence, published In 1899, that similar
instances of extraordinary darkness have
occurred in every age. They are mention
ed in the years before Christ 366 and 295-
and OF the Christian era 252, 746, IT'S and
in many other periods. During the plague
of TAG the darkness was of several days du-
ration in 252 it was of three days, and in
IT'S of six days continuance.
Other dark days mentioned by WEBSTER
are, one IN October 1716, the 9th of August
1882, the 18th of October 1852, and one on
the opening of Spring 1880. In almost ev-
cry instance the darkness has been prece-
ded or followed by severe winters, and has
been cotemporaneous with general prev
alence of catarrh and other epidemic dis
eases, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
It has been customary in America, says
WEBSTER, to ascribc this unusual appear
ance to condensed volumes of smoke, after
the burning of extensive tracts ofwood, but
he thinks it not at all owing to that cause.
The same phenomenon has been observed
in countries where there were no woods,
and during the winter when the ground was
covered with SHOW. WEBsTER's opinion
was that the vapor occasioning such dark
ness was the effect Of the agitation OF the in

JUDGE BALDWIN,

March 9th.

We observe in The last Stanton papers that the
Bar of Stanton, without distinction of party have
earnestly solicited Judge Baldwin to announce
himself as a candidate for the Bench OF the Su-
preme Court of Appeals. The same papers which
contain The call of The Bar also contain The happy
reply Of Judge Baldwin, in which he assenis, we
are much pleased to see, to comply with their ex-
pressed wishes. We hope the people of the third
judicial section Of the Stale will not fail to return
Judge Baldwin 10 the Bench ofhe Supreme Court
of Appeals, where, for len years, he has served
the State in such manner as TO add dignity 10 The
Court of which he was distinguished member,
and TO give the people increased confidence in the
wisdom, justice, honesty. and imparlialiiy Of their
Supreme judicial tribunal. We feel satisfied that
the suffragans Of the third judicial section would
be as unanimous as the Bar of Staunton in their
desire 10 see him retained to The high sta

manner in which he has discharged its responsible
