Possibly the planet. Venus may be visible, about 24 deg. trom the sun, toward the southeast.; And it _may be that in the observatories, where they hive the requisite apparatus, in addition to the usual observation of' the exact instant of the beginningand end of the eclipse, some portion of the phenomena of the corolla and the spectra of the red .protulientnees may be witnessed. 'Without 1 urther dwelling upon what can be seen here, or at any point outside of the mile of totality—for at the distance of a single line from - the limits of; totality the sun's light will equal many full moons—let us trans port ourselves, in imagination at least, within • those lintitteand.inquire what phenomena are to be .witnessed there. • ; . A TOTAL ECLIPsE. • . The chief interest' fan eclipse, especially of a total eclipse), is ; its sublimity ins a natural phenomenon. Darkness sUcceeds suddenly to light, and we tremble lest the sun forever turn into darkness and the moon into blood. Arago says, in his splendid description of the : total eclipse which ho witnessed in the South of Francs!, in 1812, -in . the, , preaence -of 20;900 “iniprovised,astiinuinieri:', '.When - the sun; narrowed to; &Mere line, began to throw over the horizon - but, a faint light,.. an,. anxiety spread through, the whole crowd. Each man felt impelled. to 'Conimunicate his impressions to his neighbor. , Then.began a dull roar, like that Ota clistant,", - sea,•safter _a ' tempest. The anise became louder in 'proportion to the thin is - nim , of the slender" solar crescent. Finally , the_ crescent vanished.,. Darkness succeeded suddenly tor' thelight, and an absolute silence marked,thia phase of the eclipse as sharply_ as: did thependulum ' Ol'eur astronomical clock.

Sellinw Liquor to Minors. Messrs. _Editors: How is it ;that the ordinance against selling liquor to minors is so little en forced in Philadelphia? and tavern-keepers governed by the cupidity of their trade f sellto mere youth the poison that goes eventually to ruin thousands of them, soul' arid body. This is a bane and evil that should•call for the in vestigation and attention of our Courts. There are numerous taverns in, every section of the city iiinfthe outer wards, where no 'attention is paid to the age of the applicant for strong drink; provided they have. the means to pay for it; and 'from theseplaces: may .be daily seen issuing mere, boys in years, in a greater or lesS state of inaikication.. :Cannot this be broken up by.the strong arm ~Of the law?

She was twice married, first to a Mr. Laurie, with whom . she lived for some, time in Ann place: Mutual disagreement haling sprung up be.. tween them she was afterwards divorced,•and remarried to Dr. Hobbs: The -latter has also been twice married. having been rdivorced from his first wife,- who is still alive: and re sidingin this city. .- . .

Suhsequently he pursued his 'studies •at . the Calico: of Messrs. Burt itt Lincoln. Before the breaking out of the war he was' admitted to 'the - bar-and com menced practice in this city. Fired with in dignation at the action of the South, he gave up his practice and enlisted as a private in the 9th _Massachusetts regiment, being Very active, in organizing the. regiment.'

Since the war he • has remained in Mississippi,-acting in the capacity of a re gistry ofticet, a position secured for him by General Dent. A few . week.s ago he returned from the South, coming- on to New York, where he. remained ,a few days.

As stated, after his return to this -city-. two. weeks ago,he was in vited again to Dr. Hobbs's house, many friends of Mfrs. Hobbeat the time remarking-that they thought it very - ifnpnidentfor him to be there.

Dr. Alvah Hobbs, the husband of the de ceased, is a man a little past middle life, rather thick set, with hair and beard somewhat gray. He was-thoroughly devoted to his wife, and is almost inconsolable .at, the great loss he has sustained.

A Thief Caught in Wisconsin . --A Singular Story. A Milwaukee paper says : "Some three years ago Henry Brayton, then living at Eagle, Waukesha county, was en trusted with the sum of $l,BOO to bring to MW waukee. Shortly after ho disappeared. The man sending the money by Brayton had to pocket his loss. For three years all trace of rayton was lost, when 'suddenly he' turned up again one day last week in Wan-, keshit, with his ' pockets well lined with . greenbacks, and: himself In the most liberal, disposition. His first move was to buy a farm, paying the cash for it, and deeding it, to his wile r .

Defalcation - 'in Rhode ,Ishoad. • The Providence Herald announces a defalca, tion in Pawtucket, R. 1., by one. of the most prominent buAness men of the . place, OliVer L. Hackett, senior partner of the firm of O. L. Hackett 8.: Co., croekery.dealers,. on Pleasant street. Mr. Hackett Went into business in 1861, and colidnete.d his atlhirS apparently on an honest basis until within the last two • or, three years. His tint known s harp transac tion was abbut two years ago.. At that• time he , gave a mortgage on his : to .s firm in Boston: for for fifteen himdred • dol lars, as security for, purchaSes, and another, to Charles ldoyes, of (lent - in! . After this lie took a partner; in October,iBfK Who put inr 'S , 1,1;00 cash for 'one-half • interest' , in stock. Hackett represented to his partner that hie stock was worth :.1/ . ,000, and was wholly free .and unencumbered. His partner could find. nothing in the records at Pawtucket to in validate his statement, and Paid in his money. The naartgageAwere recortled iii North Provi dence. Haekett aftenvards induced Charles Mayes to enclorse a note for - eight hundreil dollars,. which note he altered to read twenty eight hundred dollars, and gut • the • money. This fraud was detected, but the: parties coin : promised and it did not, course out, This was last January.. Not . lOng 'after lie drew a note for three thousand dollars, and 'agreed to get. eight endorsers. He got but six, and.the. gentlemen who lent their names are ' now liable" for .the amount. The • note' was. last Saturday presented at the: Fimt , ,National Bank.in Pawtucket.- Another note for four -four hundred dollars was- drawn i and was.;en dorsed by a gentleman to whom Hackett pro mised to procure another endorser: Hefailed to do it, however, and the gentkanan is' held tt the amdihnt. It is runiored that another n to for five hundred dollars exists, but of that nothing definite is known: - On Friday Hackett left, Pawtucket, telling his partner he WAS going down the river to get one of the endorser's names, and would be back in the morning. Nothing has since been seen of or heard frf nn him. "The fact of his disappearance scion becande known, and ex cited the liveliest surprise among' all his ac quaintances. Hackett is about thirty ,years - of age,socLahl e,' 'Well-educated and gentlemanly.

We said nothing about the whipping post, We do not coinplain that our discharged criminalS leave the State. They would be fools if they didn't. Nor do, they leave on account of their having beenwhipped; many offences are net, punished by. whipping. But, our law requires that after their discharge from jail, they shall wear a" convict's jacket," as a • badge of crime." That is, they shall carry around with theth, everywhere, alcerti fleet() to the public that they are discharged convicts.' Should they obey the law the result would be starvation—for who would: employ them or a return to crime, .They therefore don't obey the law, but leave , the State. And this, we presume, is the law's intention—to drive all our 'criminals, once convioted,,OYer our borders, to be quartered; on other cominu nities.
