A Magnificent Sight.

A gentleman who writes from Bombay,

more than once in a lifetime to see such Il
glorious and nifcent sight as that from
which have Just returned-that is, the to-
tai eclipse OF the sun. | have seen MANY
eclipses before, but never anything to
equal this. | was engaged with the Nor
gans at the top of the hill to see it. Got
up at six, and found it a lovely morning
| rode up to the Morgans', about half a
mile, carrying with me glasses, smoked
glass and sun hat. Got there before seven
and found the eclipse already begun. Got
out two mirrors and watched the hole in
the sun grow bigger and bigger 1t be-
gan from the top and we all went off to
the highest point on the hill, from whence
we could see all Dolly and the mountains
| around. When the eclipse got so far, the
cold on the mountains grew much greater
the grass was so wet no ones boots kept
it out, the feet and hands grew cold, an,
with your back toward the sun, the lioh,
over the country was hike the twilight on
the earliest dawn. Gradually, the lower
streak got thinner and thinner, until, nj
last there shone Il light like the famous
| lime-light, and in a moment or two that
went out, and the sun was totally con
cealed many stars were visible, the whole
country looked dark-that is, half dark,
like moonlight-the crows stopped cav
ing, and for two minutes and half the to.
tai eclipse lasted, u sight | never shall
forget and then the lime-light again ap-
| peared at the bottom rim Of the sun. and
gradually more of him appeared, the
crows began again at once, and the cocks
began to crow, the shadow now was in
verted, and by degrees got smaller, unit
at nine O'Clock the eclipse was over.

To old ,Ja1S-,p J. P. in Dresden
Ohio, bela e the lon6a' Of deciding u case
IN tavo3 both parties.
Sonftwentv Years ago Jake was elect
ed tJ%he Office of Justice of the Peace,
andfn due time he docketed his first ease
on the tlv-leat OF Dutch almanac.
One ucighbor had sued another for
trespass and damages, and the case was
set lor hearing one day in August. when
the dog star ragged in all its pristine fury.
Although the amount involved did not
exceed twelve dollars, each party employ
ed the most eminent counsel ut the /anrs-
willie bar to look after their respective in
tcrests; SO it came 10 pass Nhat on that
annealed August day, Messrs. C and
GI appeared '1erni"st,lfsach other in
Each lawyer came ar2fed with stack
OF law books embracf@ almost every
work on law from BLACKSTONE to Walkers

upon wooden table n the center of the
room, squire Jake FED them earnestly,
FASTENED tAthe c3Far. where he inlbibe,l
self against II om Of legal lore which
he felt intulive nust come.
Finally the & was called, and Mr.
G who pen sI for the defendant,
arose and Pved ri nonsuit, ON the
ground th3 he title n The lands claimed
by the pla Ftif upon Which the trespass
was conn Fted, was in m bt. Then fol-
lowed - nee hours discussion of the law
pro am ,n, between the attorneys
dung the progress, Jake, broke out
into tnbie persPration' and each mo-
mel Eccame more hopeles~ly muddled rs
t9a1fe real point under discussion. Finally
and sat down, after having marked about
five hundred passages Of law oach-sup-
porting their views of the case
Without CHANGING at them, and after
wiping the perspirttion from his massive
brow with a coarse linen towel, Jake
rendered the following decision:
Veil, Mr.. c., | gifs you your
case"
but your honor" exclaimed Mr.. c.,
''yOu have not looked at the law
Nov, shust geep shtill, Mr.. c.. and

down to " SanSelcele" where he saw
''leetle sam Cox" Is. s. then Deputy
Clerk of the CourD and resigned his com
mission, remarking, as he handed in his
