TIM DARK 1 AY IX 17 SO. We publish a coiwlensed account of this roniaikable iiheno-nienon, ly J). T. Taylor, of Ronse's Point, X. Y. The article was originally pttblishod in the Boston Journal of June 14, lyTl.. The phenomenon has never been explained. Dr. "Tcniiey, in 1785, wrote to the Historical Society that the ability of the land had endeavored to present a cause, but, said he, "you will agree with me that no satisfactory solution has yet appeared." In Birnilar language wrote Ir. Noah Webster in 1843. The theory of some, that it was smoke and ashes from forest fires, extensively ranging, was disproved. Xo iires in the forest could have been sufficient to spread a dense cloud over the whole of New Kngland and even some parts of the Middle States. It came too suddenly, with no wind to carry it from one point to another. It Was a darkness that settled down over an area of more than o00,0()0 square miles at the same time. Hero is the story in brief : On the 19th of May, 1780, -the inhabit ants of New England and the adjacent parts. were the trembling witnesses of a phenomenon never seen before nor since, and whirl to this day. remains unexplained. The year was celebrated for its numerous auroral exhibitions in this latitude. They covered the midnight heavens with corrus cations of red and silver, and streamed out like lightning, seeming, says one writer, fairly to Hash warmth in the face. The winter preceding was marked by extraor dinary severity. Stiow lay on the ground from the middle of November to the mid dle of April. In Docembcr and January a storm continued for seven successive days, and the snow fell to a depth of four feet on a level in this single storm, and with drifts eight and ten feet high. Sheep were bur ied ii the drifts for many days, and even men and animals perished with the cold. Long Island Sound was crossed by heavy artillery on the ice. Narragansett Hay froze over so hard that men traversed the ice from Providence, to Newport in skating parties, and from Fall River to Newport loads of wtxni were conveyed on the ice through Iliistol ferry. Previous to the lth a vapor filled the air for several days. There was a smell of sulphur. The morning of the li'th was overcast with some clouds, and rain fell over the country, with lightning and thun dor. Scarcely any motion was in the air, what wind there was came from the south west. By nine o'clock in the forenoon, without previous warning, the darkness stole gradually on, with a luminous ap pearance near the horizon, as if the obscur ing cloud had dropped down from over head. There was a yellowness of the atmosphere that mada clear silver assume a grass green hue. Then a dense, uuderi nablu vapor settled rapidly and without aerial movement over all tho land and ocean from Pennsylvania to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, tho darkness it caused sink ing by degrees until the sunlight was effectually shut out. Ordiuary cloud it was not. The rapidity with which ho large an extent of country was enveloped pre cludes the possibility of supposing this to have been a natural cloud moving laterally. Besides this, the day was too calm to im agine such a thing. Down came the dark ness thicker and thicker. By ten o'clock the air was loaded whh a thick gloom. The heavens were tinged with a yellowish or faint red ; the lurid look increased ; few, if any, ordinary clouds were visible. The sun, in disappearing, tOok on a brassy hue. The lurid, brassy color spread everywhere, above and below. The grass assumed the color of the sky, and all out doors wore a sickly, weird and melancholy aspect a dusky apiearancc as if seen through a smoked glass. By eleven o'clock it was as night itself,.and from this time until three in the afternoon the darkness was extraor dinary and frightful. The extent of the darkness was greater than is related of any other similar phe nomenon on record, not excepting the celebrated dark days over Egypt and Ju dex. It reached south to the northern half of Pennsylvania, and from thenoe along the. coast northeast to the wilds of Maine, eastward to the Gulf of St. Law rence, and out at sea 120 miles southeast of Boston, and undoubtedly much farther ; west to the valleys of Lake C'hamplain and the Hudson River, and north into undefined regions in Canada. Portland, Boston, Hartford, New York, "West Point and Al bany were ail'ectcd by it. But the degrees of darkness differed in dili'erent places, the deepest night settling over New Kngland. A tract of land and sea b()0 miles in length and 400 miles in breadth, embracing an area of 30,000 square miles, was known to be covered by the cloud, and so far as can be a.xcertauied, a population of 700,000 souls sat for a portion of the day and night in a gloom more or less profound and inex plicable. Just how dark the day was is attested by indisputable evidence. The hour and minute could not be discovered on the face of a clock or watch by tiersons of unim paired eyesight. Candles became an abso lute necessity loth out doors and in, as it was impossible to transact ordinary busi ness without them. Fires on the hearth stone shone as brightly as on a moonless Novemler evening, and all dinner-tables were set with lighted candles upon them, as if it were the evening repast. The keenest eyes in doors could not see to read the common print. So far beyond any or dinary fog was the effect that stages on the road either put up at the nearest hotel dur ing the mid-day hours, or carried candles or lanterns to enable the perplexed driver to well see his way. - v And the brute and feathered creation seemed puzzled and agitated. The birds ceased to fly, and hid themselves in the branches of the trees. As the darkness increased they sang their evening song as they do at twilight, and then became silent. Pigeons on the wing took to the shelter of the forest as they do at night. The whip-poor-will, as if it were truly night, cheer fully sang his song through the gloomy hours. 'Woodcocks, which are night birds. Whistled as they only do in the night time. Bats came out of their hiding places and ilew about. The fowls marched solemnly to their roosts as they do oidy at nightfall, ' and, after cackling for a while over tho mystery of so short a day, became stiil. Cocks crowed as is their cutoni at nightly intervals and the early breaking of day. Frogs l'k-pcd their evening conceit, and dogs whined or howled and ran away as on the approach of an earthquake. The herds of cattle on New England's thousand hills sought the shelter ot" the shed or barnyard, lowing as they came t the gate, and sheep huddled around the circle with their heads inward the invariable token of apprehen ded danger. On the human' family the effect was still more euriotisaud terrifying. - The mechan ic left his tools in the shop, the farmer his plow in the furrow, and each moved in silent and marveling mood toward the barn or dwelling. On the home threshold they were met by pale and anxious women, who tremblingly inquired: "What is coming?" The alarmed traveler, seeking the sympa thy of his' fellow man as one impressed with a sense of impending peril, put up at the nearest house, ami mingled his anxious questionings and forebodings with those cf the family. Strong men met and spoko with surprise on their countenances, and little children peered timidly into the deep ening gloom, and then sought the shelter ing parental arms. Schools broke up in affright, and the wondering pupils scamp ered homeward with many expressions of childish fear. The inevitable candle shone out of the windows of all dwellings every countenance gathered blackness all hearts were tilled with fear of an approaching, unparalleled stonn, r the occurrence of a terrestrial convulsion ; but it was not the blackness of the storm-cloud, such as some times, with frightful agitation, breaks over a single city ; it was the silent spread ing of the p.dUc.loth over the ea:th by strong, invisible hands. Many anecdotes of terror are related. In Boston, from the hours of 11 or 1 till 'A o'clock, business was generally suspended and simps were closed. At Gsoton, a court was in session in a 111eeti1tg-hou.se full of largo windows, as was the old style of houses of worship; but at half-past eleven all faces begau to wear a sombre hue, whereupon magistrate and people followed suit with all New Eng land, and called for lighted candles. Connecticut went totally under the cloud. The journal of her House of Representatives- imts on record the fact that "None could see to read or write in the House, or even at a window, ordistinguish persons at a small distance, or iwrceiveany distinc tion of dress. A:c, in tho circle of attend ants. Therefore, at eleven o'clock ad journed the House till two o'clock, after noon." . Amid the deepening gloom that wrapicd about the city, darkened tho rooms of the State House, and set the law givers trembling with the apprehension that the Day of Judgment was at hand, when tho motion for adjournment was made, Colonel Abraham Davenport, after ward Judge of Stamford. Conn., and State Councilor in the Legislative Chamber at Hartfnd. said: "I am against the ad journment. Either the Day of Judgment is at hand or it is not. If it is in.t, there is no cause for adjournment.' If it is, I wish to bo found in the line of my duty. I wish candles to be brought." The darkness of tho day having been succeeded an hour or two before evening by a partially clear sky, and the shining of the sun, still obscured by the black ami vaiory mist, this interval was followed by a it-turn of the obscuration 'with greater density, that rendered the first half of the night hideously dark beyond all former ex perience of probably a million of people who saw it. MrssicAi. Stoxi:s. The largest and mot complete set of musical stones that was per haps ever collected, in this or any oilier country, may now be seen in Hutton's Mu seum, Keswick. The set consists of fifty-six stones, which vary in length from eight to thirty-six inches, and from which live octaves can be taken with the greatest precision. ' The wooden elevation on which the stones are placed is twelve feet in length, and though they are ragged ami unshapely in appear ance, as can well be imagined, they have occupied the owner thirteen years in col lecting, and have been got chierly from Skidaw, at leisure times by a man named Joseph Richardson, an industrious mason, residing at Applethwaite, near Keswick, who is reaping the fruits of his industrious and laboriou research, as tourists think no more of leaving the capital of tlie lake district without seeing these truly aston ishing musical tt-ones, which the owner has very appropriately named the Rock Harmonica, than they do of leaving with out seeing Flinto!!" celebrated model, or Cro.-thwaite's far-famed museum. These stones, from their number, and the compass they necessarily take up, are worked by Richardson and two of his sons, and they at once astonish every visitor who listens to their enchanting and -perfect music In fact, any piece of music set to the pianoforte can, with the greatest deli cacy and correctness, be played upon what the collector has so happily denominated the Rock Harmonica. Eujlih paper. Stop the Interest. Among the. many anecdotes of the sayings and actions of tl e great New England statesman, Daniel Webster, none of them are nnrch better thau the following : On one occ:isioii while dining with an old Boston merchant, and when they came to the wine, a dusty old bottle was care fully decanted by Peter and passed to the host. Taking the bottle, he poured out Mr. Webster's glass and handed it to him. Then pouring out another for himself, he held it to the light and said : "How do you like it, Mr. Webster?" "I think it a line specimen of old Port." "Now you can't guess what that cost me !"' said the host. "Surely not,'.' said Mr. Webster, "I only know that it is excellent." . "Well, now 1 can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the other day. "When I add the interest to the first price, I find that it cost me the sum of just one dollar ami twenty cents per glass !"' "Good gracious! you don't say ho,", said Mr. Webster; and then draining his glass, he hastily presented it again with the remark : "Fill up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that confounded interest." The curious phenomenon of regulation cau be exhibited by placing a block of ice on a netting of fine wiie. The ice will be melted by the wire, and, passing down through it, will liecome frozen in a mass again be-low the wire. A simple wire can, in a similar manner, le drawn slowly through a block of ice. which unites again behind the wire, lliv..ily having been cut ut ail. hovvkig no sign of A T1IUIL.LIXG TAJLI, arratlvp or Albert S.

Gallup testified that he was a passenger; that he was awakened by the crash ; "saw one of the under officers, who said that everything was all right ; was aftciwaid aroused by Captain Hull, who said that the ship was sinking ; went into the saloon aial fo'.tnd the people in it in commotion ; some had life preservers on and some were put ting them on ; he could find none in his room,' and did not secure one at all ; after getting on the hurricane-deck he attempted to jump into a boat and fell, seizing an iron .brace connected with the lowering appara tus; at that instant the bow of the boat fell into the water, ami every person except myself fell into the water also ; the ship hail not lost her headway, and in moving forward, the stern tackla being in the water carried tho 'boat bottom-upwards, dragging it end over end ; by some nuans she righted, and was dragged along until a man, who afterwards piovid to le the second mate, cut the d.nit fall, and the la Kit was free ; there were some live got into this boat : 1 helped two of them my self; there wore some eight or ten voices at the stern CRYINO KOP. 1IEI.V ; there were only three men in the lo;it that could handle an oar besides t lie man in command ; there were live oars in the boat; they rowed out to these heads in the water; wo could not see anylnnly, but the sound of their voices ceased, and I feared we should be able to pick up r.obody ; they kept pulling and got hold of a fireman with a life preserveron ; took him intothe lmat ; then picked up a man without a life pie server after rowing some distance ; just then a sea struck her, knocked everybody -in the boat into a heap, and knocked the oars adrift. I sang out to put her head to the sea, or you will swamp her ; the man in charge told them to put her head to the sea ; he had the steering oar, and gave di rections to the rowers ; 1 got down in the bottom of the boat to find something to bail witli ; she was about one-third full of water; found a gaiter shoe ; I commenced bailing and did not stop for two hours ; the storm increased; the men onboard, when they found 1 was making some headway in the water with the shoe, compared notes and calied the roll, as it were, as to j WHO WKRK ON BOARD ; j they all knew each other, and talked of j several who started with them in the boat but were missing; I said nothing, but kept '' at my work bailing, and concluded that I ; was on board a boat that had been lowered i without authority; then tin-re was a d:s- j cussion among them about the steamer; they all declared that they could not see any sign of her, the man in charge staled that he was sure she bad gone, as her guards were under water when the boat passed away from the steamer ; when we left the steamer we went directly astern of her; fhe was going one way anil we anoth er ; never saw her afterwards ; knew noth ing of the direction in which we were going' and no one iu the boat knew ; we sighted a schooner; all hands shouted, and the man in charge ordered me to get upon the seat to show myself, as I had on a w hite shiit ; be said, "(JKT CP THF.UK, WHITE SHIRT." As I had heard some muttering when the atorm was heaviest about theie being too manyin the. boat, i obeyed promptly, stood up and shouted at the top of my voice, with others ; the vessel did not see i;s and sailed away from us ; that was repeated in two othe r instances ; I received tho order. "Get up, white shirt,'" and ! got up : 1 was very much exhausted ; 1 had cease d bailing frtmi exhaustion and a fireman was put to work to kee-p the boat clear ; found in thwart cap a badge of the second mate's; I asked if the second mate was on boai d this lioat ; tho : man who had given all the orders .saiel that ho was theseeond mate ; I had never seen him before in my life ; I askcel him who orderetl him to lower the loat ; he replied Captain Torrey, the first pilot ; sighted a steamer coming down quite a distance oil'; saw the name THETIS ON HKRSIDE; 1 saw the men on licr ; she was up to the ' windwarel ; was not able to hail her ; knew then for the first time in what direction the boat was heaeling ; very soon after the The- , tis passed a Portuguese in the bow saw laud : the deck hands and tinmen all sung out to turn the loat around anil go ashore; one who was assisting the second mate in steering attempted tomove out to turn her : about ; t lie mate threatened Lim, and then turns to me ami ays, "N Lite shirt, you are a passenger, ain't you'.'" 1 replied that 1 was ; he askcel me my name Mid I gave it; he said it was not s.-afe ior this lout to go around, and wanted me to -help to keep thesomen in subjection, which 1 did; tins was three hours after we left the ship, ac- ' cording to the best of my calculation ; a ! short time after this wo sighted asm-all s;til ceimiug directly towaids us: it proved to be the smack Quilp, of New Ioudon, Cap tain George Harris ; he got us all safely on board ; theie weie Kioirr of ts ail told : j landed us in Stonington about half-past I nine o'clock ; 1 notified the Captain of the.
