The Total Eclipse Of the sun in Isss.

The present year has been remarkable for
its varied astronomical phenomena. On Feb.
I'd, there was an annular eclipse Of the sun,
invisible, however, in the United States. In
an annular eclipse from the Latin daHulus,
a ring the entire disk of the sun is obscured
except a narrow ring around the outside.
This phenomenon is produced by the moon
coming between the sun and the earth, at
such distance from the earth, that her ap-
parent diameter is less than that of the sun.
On February 18th there was partial eclipse
of the moon, visible in certain portions of the
United States while on July 10Th there oc-
Cured zone of the grandest and most awe
inspiring sight, it is possible for man to wit
ness II was a total eclipse of the sun, yisi-
bic in the western part of our country. A
friend of the writer of this article, who wit
messed it in Colorado, has written 80 vivid a
description of its glories, that the following
extract from the letter received last month is
here introduced;

Evidence was introduced from witnesses
residing within and without the state, to the
effect that Mr.. ShurtliTs reputation as a
minister and a man Of truth was bad, and
many instances Of conduct tending TO show
this were drawn out upon the cross-cxamna-
tions, 1t further appeared that the plaintiff
had experienced trouble in Shirley not CON
noctcd with the publication of the resolution
mentioned and evidence of this was admitted
upon the question Of damages; that this
trouble was on account of n young lady in
Shirley whom the plaintiff desired to make
his wife that he interviewed her father in
reference to this matter, mentioned his
wealth, aud what he could provide that the
father gave him no encouragement that Mr..
ShurtT continued 20 press his suit, and
finally offered n young man who was showing
the young lady some attention $1,000 to re-
linquish all claim to her. 1t further appeared
that this caused the plaintiff much anxiety,
and occasioned loss of sleep and appetite
and much trouble after he supposed it had
