We were all eager to see what might be seen of the eclipse on Sunday. It was a clear cloudless day and very propitious for any observation. As we came along the street various remarks were heard about it and men were seen watching the sun—some watching its reflection in a ky of water, some watching its shadow on the street as it shone through some round hole in a mat or a piece of paper. Very little atter all was to be seen. There were three-quarters of the bright sun and one-quarter in shadow. Though small it was very interesting. We here saw the partial eclipse by 12 noon and it was all over by 1.30 p.m.
