The Exact Date or the Cruel
RNSRn

Err Kalb, the german savant, in a
work recently published, shows that there
was total eclipse of the moon eoncomi-
family with the earthquake that occurred
when Julius Cesar was aSsassinated, on
the 18th of March B. c. Al he has
also calculated the Jewish calendar, to
A D. Al, and the result of his research
es fully confirms the facts recorded by
the evangelist of the wonderful physical
events that accompanied the erucifxion.
Astronomical calculation prove, without
shadow of doubt, that on the l4ih day
of the Jewish month Nissan april O.
there was total eclipse Of the sun,
which was accompanied in all probability
by the earthquake, when the veil of the
temple was rent from the top to the bot
tom, and the earth did quake, and the
rock reut.' (Matthew xxi, CD
While ST Luke describes the eclipse in
these words: Aud it was the sixth
hour az noon and there was dark
ness over all the land till the ninth hour,
g o'clock p. m, aud the sun was dark
ened." Luke xii, II.
This mode of reckoning ponds
perfectly with the result Of another cal
culation our author made by reckoning
backward from the great total eclipse Of
April, 1918, allowing for the difference
between the old and new styles, which
also give April as the date Of the new
moon 10 the year A. D 81 As the YER
nal equinox of the year fell on March
%, aud the Jews ate their Easter lamb
and celebrated their FFi5 Passoh, or
Feast of the Passover, on the following
new moon, i. is clear April was identi-
fed with Nissan II, of the Jewish caleu-
dar, which, moreover, was on Friday. the
Paraskeree. or day Of preparation for
the Sabbath, and this agrees with the
Hebrew Talmud Thus by the united
testimony of astronomy, archaeology.
traditional aud Biblical history, there
can be but littIe doubt that the date OF
the erucifxion was April 8, A. d. 81.

WASHINGTON HALL LAST NIGHT.-As
usual with all the military dramas pre-.
sented in our city, the Spy is drawing
larger houses each evening, as witnessed
by the increased numbers at Washington
Hall last night. The family scene at Col,
Winners was exhibited last hight by all
the characters in a sprightly and life,like
manner The scene OF the first rendez'
yous of DeForrests guerillaS, the signing
of "thO papers" &c, were acted well,
and with the sweet suppressed Music oil
Was Band, opened a field for a lively
Imagination. Tho acting in the scene
where DeForrest attempts to abduct May
Wilmer was superb, and the tableaux
magnificent AMI elecLrifying,
The second act, showing the arrest Of
the spy at Col. Winners by DeForests
gang, the rebel prison pen, the rescue by
the Zouaves, the captur0 OF the guerrilla
chief, with the numerous grave and gay
incidents, followed rapidly and smoothly
and closed with another grand tableau,
The third act, after an amusing black
squad drill, opens with the celebrated
Zouave drill, never before presented here,
and one well worth the price ofadmission
-interspersed with German cccentriCities
and singing by one of the regular per-
formers and one of our amateurs, 1t is de-
cidedly taking, and was repeatedly ap-
plauded and encored,
The capture Of May and the Spy, the
rescue, and the beautiful tableau, close
this act. Between this and the fourth
act Master Eddie Capehart, OF Bridge
port, little lad of 12 years, recited
Sheridan's ride in a very entertaining
manner, showing fine conception of the
piece Tor one so young, and was rewarded
by hearty applause. We must leave to o
future issue description Of the intensely
exciting and magniacently acted sword
combat, the battle scene, and many other
incidents In the fourth and succeeding
acts. The play Is so full Of rapidly sue
ceeding, novel, and interesting features,
that no pen picture can do it justice or
give our readers, even in a column a fair
synopsis. Tob DO appreciated it must be

mend all, who possibly can to go aud see.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY. - Yesterday,
Samuel McVay made complaint to Esqr
Clohan that Thomas Murphy had com.
mitted an assault and battery on him, and
warrant was issued for Murphys arrest.
As near as VIC could ascertain the facts.
MoVay was taking two young dogs To his
house, having them in Ills arms. Murphy
came along and requested that one orthcm
be given him, and being refused, took tho
purp from McVay. Whether he was In
earnest about the matter, wedld not learn
at all events, it is likely to prove no Joke
even lit was originally intended rs a jest.
When the case came before the Justice, or
rather, previous to that time, Murphy
agreed to give up the dog, but refused to
pay the costs, McVay did not think he
should be compelled to dos and thus the
effort to compromise the matter was not
successful. The case will now 90 to the
Circuit Court, We presume.
