THE ECLIPsE.-The phenomenon of Il to-
tal lunar eclipse was enjoyed under most
favorable conditions on Sunday night last.
The sky was free Of clouds and the atmos-
phcrc was az transparent as is usual at this
season. Of the year. The dark, or perfect
shadow cast by the earth measured, at the
moons distance, nearly twice the diameter
of the moon, more accurately 1925, conse-
qucnty the moon travelling eastward in its
orbit around the earth, passed over a dist
ance of nearly double Its diameter, or nearly
1000 miles of its orbit, while in the shadow.
BY the aid of pair Of excellent opera
glasses, the interest and beauty of the spec
tacle was heightened. The shading OF the
penumbral colorings from golden to copper
color was by this agency beautifully brought
out and even the broken lines Of the catth's
shadow, occasioncd by the decided uneven
ness of the moons suffice, became mcasur
ably apparent
The eclipse was watched with interest by
a number Of ourpcop'c, tho yCung .0lks be
Ing astronomically inclined toa noticeable

and completely cured, requested that the
same he tried upon her daughter y meet

ing the Young woman with oil she was bld,
den in the name of the Lord to get up and
walk, which she did, Another amounting
with oil relieved her of all pain, and III. was
restored to her family 7Iaacs

enlightened town of Frederick to listen to
such absurdity as the above is one of those
things that basscth COMPREHENSIVE
