In the year 1878 there will be four Eclipses -two of the Sun and two of the Moon-and a Transit of Mercury over the Sun's disk.

First: An Annular Eclipse of the Sun, Feb. 1, 1878, invisible in Philadelphia. This Eclipse will be visible in Australia, and from that isl and over the ocean toward the South Pole. No part of any continent is reached by the shadow of the Moon.

Second: A Partial Eclipse of the Moon, Feb. 17, 1878, partly visible in Philadelphia. The Eclipse begins 3h. 40m. A.M. on the 17th, and ends at 8h. 40m. A.M. The Moon will therefore set during the Eclipse in the early morning.

Third: A Total Eclipse of the Sun, July 29, 1878, visible at Philadelphia. This Eclipse will

be visible over the whole of North America and part of North-eastern Asia. It commences at Philadelphia about 41⁄2 P.M., where the Eclipse will be only partial, the central line lying west of the Mississippi River.

Fourth A Partial Eclipse of the Moon, Aug. 12, 1878, visible at Philadelphia. The Eclipse begins at 4h. 20m. P.M, and ends at 9h. 54m. P.M. The Moon will therefore rise eclipsed and gradually emerge from the Earth's shadow, becoming full and bright about two hours before its meridian passage.

Fifth A Transit of Mercury over the Sun's disk, May 6, 1878. The planet enters upon the Sun's disk at 10 A.M., and leaves it at 54 P.M.

THERE is one aspect of the Philadelphia Ledger that must not be omitted. I mean the perfect independence of the paper in regard to local and general corruptions. It does not hesitate. It strikes out bold and quick. Its rhetoric is not so trenchant as that of Russel Jarvis, when he took "the bull by the horns," twenty and twenty-five years ago, and when he stirred the sensibilities of the medical students and the proslavery mobs; but it is more effective, because more moderate.-Col. John W. Forney.
