r. IHE ECLIPSE.--On Friday, the 10Th oil May
next, there will occur an annuar eclipse OF the
sun, which will be visible in Massachusetts,. il
will commence at 33 minutes past clock III
the morning, and continue two hours and four
minutes, or until about twenty-three minutes
before o'clock. So our readers will have to
rise betimes to see it. In this eclipse the ap,
parent diameter of the moon compared with
that of the sun will be about as Is to IL; and,
consequently some nine-tenths OF the sun will
be covered. The path Of the eclipse will cross
the western part OF the Atlantic ocean, Massa-
chusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
New York, Upper Canada, Lake Superior,
Northwest and Washington Territories, and
thence through the southern edge of British
America to the Pacific ocean. The central
line Of the eclipse will enter New England near
Portsmouth, and its path will extend sixty
two miles on either side. Boston will fall
within its path To those on the central line
the sun will appear, during the middle Of the
eclipse, like a huge circle of light, the moon
covering every part except Q very narrow rim
on the outside. In Boston the appearance
will be much the same, only the ring of light
will be wider on one side than on the other
The central path of the eclipse will be from
Kittery, opposite Portsmouth, in a northwestern
direction, through the towns of Dover, Bar
rington, Pittsfeld, Canterbury, Franklin, Hill
Grafton, and Lebanon. The eclipse will, how.
ever, be visible, to greater or less extent, in
all parts of North America, excepting Guate-
mala and the southwest part of Mexico. Il
will also be visible in Iceland, Greenland,
