A Dark DayComixg. There will be an extraordinary eclipse of the sun on the 23th of May next, such a one as none but the oldest inhabitants have witnessed iu this vicinity. It will be similar to the great eclipse of 1S0S, since which there has been none resembling it nearer than that of 1S3J, when cloven-twelfths of the sun was obscured. Snow-balling ox a Large Scale.- A singular phenomenon occurred a Raj'- ah-towu, Vermont, during a recent snow storm. While it was snowing fast, and the wind high, a white appearance in the air but resembling a flock of wild gcesc ws observed, but it was soon ascertained to be balls of snow collected in the air by a thousand whirlwinds. They increased in size and number for about twenty min ute, when they fell to the ground, cov ering something more than an aero. On e-xumiuing the spot where they fell,. balls were found from one to twenty inches in diameter. Awful Tornado in Ohio. 7Vy town of Bramlon almost swept aicay Immense destruction of properly.

Were la nautical man I might here give you a description of technicalities, but I leave it for thoso who are more fa miliar with .tho terms. Notwithstanding our great velocity, the billows, white as snow with foam, swept seething by us,far outstripping our speed an additional danger in heavily laden vessels, as every mariner knows. They made me think of the wild horses of the prairies,-dashing a long on a stampede by thousands togeth er, in the night, with their long manes floating on tha air. Tho noise of the storm, hoard in the cabins below, was 'leafeuing the cracking and groaning of w O - O ppard and timters ; the terrible harping of the wind among tho cordage and a- round the smoke stacks, as it caught the car of. the passengers, who were anxious ly listening from their state rooms and on the gangways; the hurried tread of the crew and the hoarse command of the of ficers all these combined,- with the in cessant blows of the angry sea upon our quarter, and the wash of the spray over the skylights and hatches, to form a din that surpassed every other sound. Yet, to those who were gazing out on the storm, there seemed to be, in the midst of this uproar, a strange kind of silence, which was more appalling that the ele mental confusion itself. lor instance, when the gale was at its worst and the noise of the tempest most powerful, those who were standing together, at tho cabin doors, clinging to anything that afforded support, could hear each other's lisping wisper. J his was peculiarly remarkable, as tho ship poised for a second, just as she was about to make one of her dread ful plunges. At such moments, a per fect hush would settle over us, as the huge bows rose up darkly against a billow, and then, as it sank, seemed an instant after wards hundreds of feet below us, in the black cavity of the sea, apparentl' iwn- ing to engulf us beyond redemption. Ih vessel would remain for an instant sus pended in that position, and then, while every man held his breath, tremble like a living creature through her whole length and breadth, as if conscious of impending destruction and quivering with aflnght: then would come the plunge and the bil lows closing in on her bows and hissing up over her topmasts with lightuing like rapidity, as if to fold her in as they met, forever. I may perhaps speak somewhat warmly of this scone, but cannot do it justice. .the aspect ot the vessel and the MMn thafc night wero a fim ludo to the disaster that was to follow. dissipation on board outbreak of the cholera.

Loss nf Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars worth of Property. The Library Saved. "We are again called upon to record another terrible fire with which our city- has been visited. There seems to be a special futility, at the present time, resting upon the metropolis, for no sooner is the record of ono conflagration completed than another takes place, and before the smoke has died away from the ruins of Metropolitan Hall, the public bvildmgs" of the Park are clothed in flame. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the new City Hall was discovered to be on fire, and tho alarm was immediately sounded throughout the city, lhe orig in of the fire was from the flues in the up per stories of the building, in the Com missioners of Central Park Committees room, over the Superior Court rooms.- When two or three of tho reserved force of police form the Chief's office first ar rived on the spot, tho fire was breaking through the ceiling over the Superior Court room, in the southeast corner, andltion proposing certain amendments to the was also coming through the eaves of the build insr. The spot then burning was not more than ten feet square, but the wood- work was so dry that the flames ignited like a flash of powder, and soon enveloped the entire court room. During the fire the scene from the top of the city Hall was truly grand, ithin the space of half an hour from the time of the first discovery of the flames, the en- tire roof of tho new City Hall was in a blaze. Being of wood, the flames ran a- long it with surprising quickness. Soon the Park was crowded with fire eomnauies and spectators. From Broadway on one side to Park row on the other and'between the burning building and the City Hall itself, there was one mass of human be- ings. Hundreds rushed for the roof oi theGitv Hall, from whieb a view ennia hp. hnd nf tho. nntirn nlFnir. Tlimiwinds who raado their way to the scene of con- flafrration exnecte'd to find the Hitv Hnll itself on fire, or the store of Messrs, A. T. Stewart &. Co. From a distance, the City Hall clock seemed to be enveloped in the volumes of flames and smoke, which led to the above con iecture. The atmos phere being very dense, the smoke strug gled upward through it with great dif ficulty, and a strong wind carried it in clouds over the City Hall before it as cended. The fire burned from the roof downwards. First the entire roof was blazing beyond tho effective control of the firemen, on account of its height aud ex tent, the length of it being about three hundred feet. Then the flames euwraped the story below, and when it had extend ed to the first story from the basement, the firemen were enabled to reach it with their streams, and compel it to yield to their efforts. The new fire proof building late- ly erected at the east end of this range of buildings was not at all damaged. The police were stationed at each window of this building with buckets of water and by the aid of a strong wind blowing from it they were enabled to keep the flames from entering it. I he firemen were untiring in their la bours until the flames were subdued. At about sis: o'clock they gained the mastery over the "Devouring element." and befnm seven o'clock it had done its work, nnd now on v rol ed un ts dense eloiido nf - 'I black sinoke from the smouldering pile. Among the firemen from the distant dis- tricts on hand, doing all that could be done to save propert', we noticed James JiicLeod, foreman of the Harlem Hook and Ladder Company.
