were lost to us. 1t appeared at 40 minu.
tes past 4 above Town Mountain in total
eclipse, dull coppery red ball, the upper
limb being barely Visible. The appear

The totality lasted Il long time. At about
20 minutes past bright spot was seen
on the lower limb, instantly flashing into
intense brightness, and con ;rasting finely
with the dark maroon color of the rest
of the surface. The bright spot quickly
grew into crescent; and then the eclipse
gradually passed away and the full moon
regained its glory.

The Worst For Years.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan, 27.-Tht
mail trains from the North, on the
Connecticut River Railroad, due a
6 O'Clock last night, became stalled
two miles North of that city. A
gang Of men went to work thil
morning to dig it out. The snow
was blowing about 80 thick tha
nothing cou'd be seen a few fee
distance, and the 7:30 train from
Greenfield dashed into the gang
killing three men and injuring an
other fatally.
PITrsFIELD, Jan. 27.-FiYe long
passenger trains on the Boston and
Albany road are snow bound here
awaiting news of the opening of the
road before proceedir & farther. The
fast St. Louis express spent last
night in a snow drift near the Wash
inston cut. There were over 1OC
passengers on board, but notwith-
standing the fact that the themom-
eter marked 10 degrees below zero
they did not suffer from cold.
The fast mail which left Boston
last evening for the West, spent the
night in a drift one mile from Hins,
dale. The passengers suffered from
cold greatly, and many ladies were
prostrated. A number of children
were badly frost~bitten. They could
obtain but little to eat, but a coun-
try drug store supplied the passen-
gers with brandy. Three engines,
with snow plows. are stuck in a
drift near the Richmond furnace
Freight trains, covering over a mile
of track, are showed in near Sha-
ker'S, and much perishable goods
will be lost.
In many places the snow has
drifted to depth of forty feet. A
passenger train that goes two miles
an hour is considered to be making
good time.
RUTLAND, VI, Jan. 27.-The train
which left Boston yesterday morn
ing arrived this afternoon twenty
seven hours late. It. went on fur
ther, but started back at six o'clack
with two engines and two passenger
coaches. 1t got as far as East Clar
endon when the entire train, with
the exception of one engine, left the
rails. No one was injured. There
are eleven locomotives at Shelburn
tonight trying to move the train
from Montreal, due here at 1875
last night. This is tie worst block
ade ever known here. The sur
rounding country is badly choked
up and the railroads are impassa-
BILE. Snow is falling and the weat3 or
is bitter cold, and it promises to be
the most severe night of the season.
The wind is blowing and its still
drifting snow, filling up the railroad
tracks almost as fast as they are
cleaned.
B1DDEFeRD, Me, Jau. 27-The
snow blockade is unequalled since
1866. From four o'clock this morn
ing till seven o'clock at night seven
passenger trains and one freight
train were blockaded within a mile
of this city.

T. F. BARBER.
The offence the CITIZEN complained OF
was distinctly stated, as reported to uF,
as having been committed by the Con
ductor ''aitcr leaving Morristown" The
.rror Wa made was in the suggestion
hat the conductor came through to
AshevilIe. whereas it appears that the
conductor out from MorristOw does not
come this side of Hot Springs, and is
succeeded at that p oint by other con-
ducters. With the excepting of this
81. gestion the article referred to had no
,eference to Mr. Barber This however
did him injustice, for which We readily
make amend. MIR. Berger of Knoxville
was the informant that what we COM
plained of was perpetrated by the con
ductor Of the train lust after leaving
Morristown" This fixes it ulon the
conductor of that train which runs be,
,ween Morristown and Hot Springs.
