The Eclipse.
"Twant so much of shoW as expected said
little boy, yesterday morning. after he had rub
bed his eyes and spoit his best morning nap for
the sake Of trudsing up the summit Of Burnt
hill" to see the eclipse Of the sun. Bat many Of
our citizens and ladies hal shaken OF their early
slumbcrs, and with smoked glass, prepared before
hand had assembled to that favorable location for
sola, exhibition. 1t was better place for seeing
the eclipse than poor Artemus Wards open-top-
ped tent to which he charged twenty five cents ad-
m isslon to those who wished TO witness eclipse
of the moon.
We think the boy lied, and that the performance

prepared itself in "the chambers Of the east" be-
fore coming out before the foothghts. The 'sable
curtains of night" drawn aside and as the orb
Of day emerged to view, it had the appearance Of
having had big mouthful bitten off at the lower
rim. Being thus partially shorn of IFS full diane
ter, the red-faced old fellow hid himself for q
while behind vapor of msts. but soon emerged,
allowing spectators the most ample view. The
greatest observation in this city was at about halt
past six o'clock, at which time about half the
was covered. The observation through smoke
glass was very satisfactory. The eclipse ended a,
thrty-six minutes past seven
