THE ECLIPSE. Owing to the dense
clouds which hung about our city during
the whole of Monday the eclipse of the
sun was not visible here. There is no
doubt it took place however, SIS the eX-
IRENE gloominess during the hours set for
the occurrence showed. The disappoint-
ment in not being able to observe the phe-
nomenon, was compensated for, however,
by the glorious rain, so much needed by
the parched earth.-C um6erlaad EeloS
