The facetious local of the Buffalo Re-
public publishes the following dispatches
showing how the eclipse was " kept" in
each place:
BUFFALO, 18th-4 o'clock P. M
Everybody being otherwise unemployed,
turned out this morning to see the sun
60 under. There was a good number
Of people aboard, and the vegetation OF
Main street was seriously injured by
people who could find no place to stand
but on the grass. After the show most
of the spectators visited various saloons
and liquored, the result OF which is
plainly perceptable at this hour. Two
members OF the press are said to have
been poisoned with fruit brandy"
CLEVELAND, lsth.-1mmense crowd
to the eclipse. Half fare charged on all
the alroads to allow the country PEG
pie to come and see it. In order to de-
fray expenses (eclipses can't bel got up
for nothing, you know,) small admis-
sion fee was charged. The police have
made several arrests of persons who
have tried to see it without a ticket
All the tugs, canal boats and wood
scows have gone to Put-in-Bay on an
excursion. III Cleveland we "excurs''
on the slightest provocation. Judge
Spalding has just offered series of res
olutlons.
SANDrsKY.-The Island Queen started
for Kelly's Island early this morning
with an immense crowd to attend the
eclipse. When they got there, they
found they bad all been imposed upon
in rascally manner, having brought
tickets admitting holders to an eclipse
OF the moon, which took place about IA
years ago-good only for that day
They came back swearing dreaGfully at
the eclipse.
CHIcAGo.-The ECLIPSE arrived this
morning Just before sunrise. Everybody
is poring over it through the medium Of
glass; the glass closely resembles a
tambler.
CoLUMBUs.-The inmates of the Blind
Asylum are just going in by procession
to see the eclipse, permission being gen.
erously granted by several who hadn't
any objections. 1t is proposed to repeat
the eclipse tomorrow for the benefit of
the other benevolent institution of the
State.

The Times correspondent Of the New
York Herald, writing to the Tribune
from the Office of the Boston Post, says
the departure of the Japanese was has
tened by desire to be at home, as ar
engagements had been made for having
an eclipse there. An effort had been
made to have the Tycoon postpone it,
but it couldn't be postponed on account
of the weather.
DETROIT, July Is, 5 A. M.-Just ar

mediately with two panes of smoked
glass, to get a glimpse at the eclipse
Tell the folks it's a sure thing. No time
to speculate-will write out full details

OF people and more coming. The boat
came up full of passengers, and there
are tour extra trains Of cars coming 10,
slowed full.
