ANOTHER CASE OF ARSON = M
PoRrANT ARRESTS. - Sheriff Miller
and his Deputies, last night, arrested
Harry Hedden and Augustus finch,
on the charge Of arson. They are
accused OF burning the cotton press
of w. II. Fisher & Co., near the e. &
G. freight depot, about one year ago.
The Gotten press was insured for
$1,000, and the Insurance Companies
settled the damages by paying $2.250.
The arrest of these parties, after SO
long time, will. no doubt, create a
profound sensation. We are not per-
sonally acquainted With Mr.. finch,
bat have known Mr.. Hedden for
some time, and he is the last man, we
should take TO be guilty Of such a
crime. From what we know IN re-
gard to the facts in the case, We are
assured that Mr.. Hedden viii be
abundantly able to prove his inno-
cense. finch was committed to Jail
in default of $1,000 bail. Hedden
gave bond in that sum and was re
leased.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE ECLIPsE--HOw TO VIEW IT.-To-
morrow afternoon there will be total
eclipse of the sun, which will be visible as
follows, according to the astronomical rcck
oning:
60 A total eclipse of the sun, August 7th,
visible as follows: Begins on the earth at
Oh. 2Sm. after noon, mean time at Rich
mond, in longitude 13Sd. ION. W. of Rich
mond, and latitude 3Gd. 54m. N; central
eclipse begins at 3h. 36m. in longitude l65d.
w. and latitude SD. 42m. N. The centre
of the moons shadow passes thence over
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and near Frankfort
and Lexington, KY; over Abingdon, Va,
twenty miles S. W. of Raleigh, and sixteen
miles S. w. of Ncwbern, N. c. The CEN
trail eclipse ends on the earth at Oh. 6m.
Richmond time in longitude l0d. 5m. E.,
latitude Sid. 20m. N, and the eclipse ends
on the earth in Gautimala. This eclipse
begins at Richmond at 5h. I'm. after noon ;
greatest observation at 5h. 5Sm. ends at
Oh. 4Sm. duration, III. 47m.; digits
eclipsed, III on the southern side Of the
suns disc"
This is the first total eclipse of the sun
since 1884 visible over 80 extended por-
ton of the country, and great preparations
arc being made by the SdUans to note all OF
its occurrences, terrestrial and celestial.
The following will serve to show persons
how to view the eclipse to the best advan-
tagc:
''Take large card with small round
hole in the centre and hold it against the
suns rays so that the shadow will fall on
the floor, pavement, wall, or other dark
and smooth surface. In the middle of the
shadow there will be a true image of the
sun, and the eclipse can be studied in its
progress without straining the eyes and
without shutting the face or hands with
smoked glass. This simple process was
suggested by the familiar circumstance that
the light spots in the shadows during q So
lar eclipse take the shape of the luminous
portions of the SUMS disc; and the perfo-
rated card has been used with perfect sue
cess -
