between guard rail and ono Of tho rails OF the

foot were Intellectual, and while be, yet strug'
gled to extricate it, he was appalled, Dy Tug
sound of an approaching train. Nearer anu

grew cold with despair. The foot. was SUI
fast ia its iron bondage when the train oame ~

With but vague hope that he might be
noticed in time, he violently waved his arms n1I
and gave one piercing, agonlzing cry; Inc
descending train consisted of lot OF laden Goa!
cars drawn by engine &c, and fortunately LOT
the boy his gestures were observed py tue cou.
ductor, who sigpaled the engineer, who 10 turn

He was released at once from his unfortunate

incident was one Of the most thrilling character
and will not soon be forgotten by all who wit

THE ECLIPsE.
ob.ervaiieas Taken Al Atlantic CITY.

The following letter was delayed in
its transmission to this office hence its
non-appearance ut an earlier day:
- ATLANTIC Cry, Wyo.,
July 90, 1878.
To the Editor of The Leader:
The sun rose this morning in a cloud
less sky with a clear transparent at
mosphere which continued all day, up
to the present writing t4:30p p. n.y.
About ten O'Clock the wind began to
blow from the southwest, and increased
to a lively gale about II m, carrying
clouds Of dust through the air at times;
then it gradually diminished, and at
1:57 the sun entered the shadow which
appeared from the northwest, and at
SOL became total, which lasted for four
minutes and forty-fve seconds. then the
sun commenced leaving the shadow
which lasted until 400, when 1t closed.
The altitude Of Atlantic is about the
same as at Camp Stambaugh, which, ac-
cording TO Capt. VIM. A. Jones' report
is 1857 feet above sea level; latitude
40 800, longitude 1882 49,. Hon. w.
Fl. Stone, of st. Louis, is on top of
Caraboo Hill, about thres-quarters of a
mile northwest of Atlantic, and about
three hundred feet higher, taking OBJ
servations. and will, no doubt, make a
very interesting report to his st. Louis
friends. As the darkness began to In
crease the chickens and birds went to
roost. A herd Of cattle was passing
when darkness fell and they all stopped
and did not again move until light re-
appeared. There werelalso large num-
bers of grass-hoppers in the air at the
time. They closed their wings and
came head first towards terra firma,
falling In quite a shower. Many Of the
larger stars could be seen, plain, with
the naked eye, and during totality the
North Star, Clipper and many Others
Of the first magnitude we're seem. The
sky in the southwest and north looked
very dark, but the east was quite light
and but few stars could be seen on the
eastern horizon.
