ECLIPSE of the Moon,

The eclipse of the moon which occurred
Sunday night was IA most interesting
astronomical event, and was witnessed
by many people in this town. The night
was cool and cloudless ole, and the
observation of the moon began early
enough to allow a witness of the whole
eclipse without interfering greatly with
the hour of rest. The shadow appea red
on the east side of the moons disc at
1885 o'clock, and in Sc minutes had
entirely covered it.
The total observation of the moon
lasted one hour and forty-five minutes.
During this time the planet presented
the appearance of huge illuminated
balloon swinging in space, The light
during the first half of the observation
was upon the west side, the shadow
bringing out the globular shape with
great exactpess. Gradually the light
crept across to the disc and illuminated
its entire edge.
The shadow was deepened in the centre
and gave the planet the appearance of a
dish, the shadow throwing the centre
back and edges forward. When the
period of total eclipse had passed the
ball appearance was reproduced with the
light upon the other side. The sight
was very beautiful.
