The total eclipse of the moon by tn,
earth Sunday evening was the last event
of this kind of the century; the next no
occurring until 1904 The interest which
astronomers of the present day take in &
total lunar eclipse is considerably different
in character from that felt in ancient times
such an event formerly furni- he'd valuable
information for the discussion of the math
ema'ica theory of the moon and the i'm
pIovemept of astronomical tables Now the
observation of The times of the beginning
and ending of lunar eclipse possesses nc
interest for as ronnmers for the times of d
lunar eclipse can he predicted from the
results of the regular observations of the
moon more accurately than they can bt
oh.erycd.

From very early times it has been the pleas
ing custom Of New England people 10 follow the
Harvest-home with a day Of acknowledgement
to God for the boun,es Of his providence. To-
day this custom has become national in its oh
servance.
During the year now drawing to n close We
have been specially blessed with abundant hur-
vests. Peace and prosperity prevail within our
State, and throughout the nation. 1t is en-.
inently fitting that We should return grateful
thanks to the Benifcent Father from whom all
blessings flow. | therefore with the advice Of
the Executive Council, designate and set apart
Thursday, the 26th day Of November, inst, as IA
day Of Thanksgiving and Praise.
Upon that day let us refrain from secular pur
SUITS and by our hresidcs and in places Of public
worship return thanks to God for his tender
mercies.
