Eclipse of the Sun. 
On the 26th inst., about half past four in tbe 
afternoon, there will be an annular eclipse of the 
sun. This form of the eclipse is caused by the 
moon’s shadow converging to a point before 
reaching the earth, which consequently makes 
the eclipse to assume the appearance of a dark 
round spot pass-sing across the sun’s disk, sur¬ 
rounded by a luminous ring. The coming 
eclipse of tbe sun, is the largest that has occur¬ 
red in the United States for many years. It 
will be central, and largest in Canada West, the 
North-eastern Counties of New Y'ork, Vermont, 
and Southern New Hampshire. In our locality 
the eclipse will be annular also, but tbe ring of 
light will be widest on the sun’s Southern limb. 
We would recommend our school-boy friends, 
as well as other friends not school-boys, to provide 
themselves with a good large piece of smoked 
glass, in order to save their eyes while watching 
the progress of the interesting phenomenon. 
The Broadway Fire. — The Jury on the 
Broadway catastrophe, brought in their verdict 
Alay 4th. In the course of it they say, among 
other things, “ the whole building was, in our 
opinion, a complete death-trap, and could scarce¬ 
ly have been more insecure and dangerous bad 
it been constructed for the express purpose of 
sacrificing human life. It was, moreover, de- 
eeptive in its appearance, and on that account 
doubly dangerous in case of fire.” 
They find further that tbe Architect, tbe Ma¬ 
son/and the Carpenter who were engaged in 
erecting the building, and the Lessees who made 
some alterations in it afterwards, are responsible 
for the calamitous results.
