-Clouded skies and showers prevent
ed the observance in this section of the
partial eclispe of the moon, which occur
red Monday night. The moon entered
the outer shadow or penumbra at about
O'Clock, and passed into the umbra be-
tween 9 and 10 O'Clock, the greatest OBJ
scuration being at about 10 o'clock,
when about one-fourth of the luminary
was hidden. The duration of the eclipse

moon passing out of the lighted shadow

-Messrs. o. ID. Collins, John l.. Mock
and VIM. E. Bratten went to Franklin
City Friday on cunning trip. All
these gentlemen are crack shots, and,
if they can find the birds, may be de-
pended upon to slaughter them by the
wholesale. Unconfirmed reports from
the scene of action are to the effect
that they bagged so many yellow legs
and hollow heads during their first
hours sport, that they laid aside their
guns and ammunition and took to fish
ing. The gentlemen in the party are
all equally as good anglers as they are
marksmen, and we have no doubt but
that they caught enough fish to start
factory.

palpable hits. Elegant refreshments
