THE SUPERFLUOUS MAN,
Ordles at Noonday—The Phenome
non Described by an eye-witness—
Natu re Bashed in Terror—A
Night of Total Blackness.
The 12th of May, 1780, has a re•
markable one in the annals of New
England, on account of flys thick dark
ness that overspread life land, like a
Illneral pall. It was a day long to be
remembered and talked of by those who
witnessed the strange, atid at that time
fearfal phenomenon. There was much
wc,iting upon and discussion of the sub
ject nt the time and afterward, but I
believe no satisfactory colic usual Was
ever arrived at as to its coil& There
were some alto thought, that it must
1111%C been proceeded from n total eclipse
of the sun, that had front entice escaped
the calculations of mathematicians
and astronomers, but that wits shown
to lie int poraible by facts and figures.
It aas then the darkest and most
hopeless period of the,war of the Revo
lution, and it.was thought by many of
the deeponding and discouraged to lie
significantof the end of that which then
appeared to theni n hopeless struggle.
Some of the more 'sanguine insisted
014 as the hour before dawn was 111-
1111y8 the darkest; so this strange and
portentous gloom wits but the prelude
to the bright dawn of Liberty and in
dependence t hat it as soon to fidlow.
l'he lather of the writer was then a
boy of thirteen years, and was at work
with his titther and brother, planting
or preparing the ground. It was at dull !
bury morning !Walls t h e tittle ieltitted

o'clock the increasing darkness began
to be (elite apparent. They kept on
