was love, but no engagement between them. On
the fatal goth of February, 1704, she was taken
prisoner by the French and Indians and carried to
Canada, where she remained two or three years.

who came to redeem her, was, whether Jonathan

being considered very uncertain. After her return,

of the globe; he was at once given up to the po-

ECLIPSE OF THE PLANETS VENUS, MARS AND JUPI-
TER THE MOoN.-An occultatiOn of planet at
any particular place, under favorable circumstan-
ces for observation, is event of such rare
renee that it cannot be expected oitener than
once in four or five years. Indeed, at the Obser
vatory at Cambridge only one (that of Jupiter, in
August, 1866 has been seen since the beginning of
1852. The happening, therefore, of four of these
phenomena in a large part of this country in
single month, between the oath of the present
April and the 25th of May next, is very remark
able The first Of the four, and the most beautiful
and interesting of the whole, is that of Venus,
which took place last Tuesday evening, when the
planet quite high, and nearly at the position of
its greatest brlliancy. 1t was visible in the
British provinces, ard in that part of the United
States situated northerly of line drawn from
Albemarle Sound, a little south Of Norfolk and
north of Cincinnati, to Davenport, Iowa; beyond
that line the planet was not eclipsed, but passed
south of the moon. About midnight of Thursday,
April &C. Jupiter will be eclipsed in the northern
part Of New Hampshire and Maine, and some of
the British provinces; but in the southern part of
New England the least distance of the edges of
the planet and our satellite will be about one
twentieth the diameter of the latter The third OF
these OccultatiOns will be that OF Mars, IN the
morning before sunrise of Thursday May ~ Ii
will be visible in a large part of the United states
and the British provinces AS the moon wll then
be about i've days past the full, the emersion will
take place on the dark side. The color OF Mars
will be fiery red, as it will be quite near the
earth; indeed, at Mars opposition to the sun, on
July 18th next, it will be nearer to us than for
several years. with high southern declination
thus giving the astronomers at the Cape of Good
Hone an excellent and rare opportunity for deter
mining its parallax with greater precision. The
fourth of this extraordinary series of occultatons
is that of Jupiter in the forenoon of Thursday
Nav oath, which, also, will be visible in a large
part of this country, but which, taking place
whilst the sun is above the horizon cannot be seen
except with the aid of a very good telescope.

The FATE OF Miss WHEELER.-We scarcely know
whether our readers will be more panied or re-

communication with the unfortunate young lady,

that she entreats her friends not to seek to bring
her back again. but leave her to her wretched fate
Yet it were better surely for the poor girl herself
that her request should not be complied with Time
may obiterate the remembrance of even her sor-
rows; and it were real kindness to her to obey
what wild wishes her present morbid nervousness
of feeling may suggest. 1t is necessary too, that
the Government should vindicate its own dignity
and justice, by ascertaining the true particulars
of this sad story, and furnishing the guilty parties
