 Eclipses, 1S71. 
 
 In the year 1871 there will bo Four Eclipses, — Two of the 
 Sun, and Two of the Moox ; but onlj' one of these will be visi- 
 ble in XcAvfoundlanLl, and that one onlj' partlallj'. 
 
 The First~^An Eclipse of the Mooyi, January the 6th. At 
 St. John's, the Moon Mdll rise on the 6th at 4h. 30m., p.m., and 
 Thus it will be seen that the two first phenomena will not be 
 visible here.

 Last contact with Shadow 7h. 15m. 60s. 
 
 Last contact with Tenumbra 8h. 34m. 47s. 
 
 [St. John's INIean Time.] 
 
 On June 17, 1871, there will be an Eclipse of the Sux, visible 
 5n the Xorth and South Pacific Oceans, Boruea, Australia, New 
 Zealand, &e. 
 
 On July 2nd, there will be an Eclipse of the Moon. During 
 this Eclipse the Moon will pass vertically from Longitude 169° 
 W. to 127° E., on the parallel of Latitude 24° S. 
 
 December 11th, there will be a total Eclipse of the Sun. — 
 This^ Eclipse, like that of Juno 17, will bo visible only in the 
 same parts of the globe, New Zealand excepted. 
 
 The Eclipses of Jupiter's Satellites (given in the Greenwich 
 Almanac to the nearest tenth of one second of time) aflTord the 
 easiest means of knowing the Greenwich time, and thence to 
 determine the longitude of whatever place on the globe, the 
 observer may be situated. No calculation is required, but they 
 cannot be observed at sea, the motion of the Ship rendering it 
 impossible to secure that steadiness of the instruments neces- 
 sary to observe them. 
 
 Planetary Notices. 
 
 Vexus will set after the Sun, and consequently will be Even- 
 ing Star from Januaiy 1st toFebruaiy 22nd ; from this date to 
 December 12th, will be Morning Star. 
 
 Maiis will be Evening Star till March 21 ; from this date will 
 be Morning Star to the end of the year. 
 
 Jupiter will rise after the Sun, from January 1st to May 
 22nd ; from this date, he will rise before the Sun for the rest 
 of the year.

 Mists.— A wliitc mist in tlie evening over a meadow with a 
 river, will be drawn up by tlie sun next morning, and the day 
 will be briglit. Five or six fogs successively drawn up, por- 
 tend rain. Where the mist wliich l\augs over low lauds, draws 
 towards high hills in tlie morning, and rolls up to the top, it 
 will be fair ; but if the mist hangs upon tlie hills, and drags 
 along the woods, there will be ruin.

 Clouds. — Against much rain the clouds increase A'ery fast, 
 especially before thunder. When they are formed like tleeces, 
 but dense in the middle, and bright towards the edge, with the 
 sky bright, they are signs of a frost, with hail, snow, or rain. 
 If they form high in the air, in lliiii Vvhite trains, like locks of 
 wool, they portend wind and probably rain, AVlien a genersil 
 clouduess covers the sky and suiall black fragments of clouds

 ther will probably return on the fourth or fifth day. If at night

 WiND.—Ifthe wind veers about, much rain is pretty sure.

 When a nuini)er ci" cireuKir* are posted, tic them up in a

 more tlian ojie Post Ollice ol'ihat name, the name of the county

 jn iuU. J>ettci-s, for e.vamplo, inten<led for London, England, 
 if simply addrevsod " London," would be forwarded to London, 
 Can.ui.i West, and tinw oc (hdayed. 
 
 See that ever.\ lerirr, newsi)apei, or other packet sent by 
 p.'j>t, IS M'(:!tr('l;v tedded and st-alt'd. ICveiy such' packet has to 
 be several limes liandled ; aud ev<'n when in the mall bag, 18 
 exposed to pressure and frictioji. I'nless, therefore, the arti- 
 cle be liglit and pliant, it should be enclosed in .-trong paper, 
 linen, i>archment, or some other material which will not readi- 
 ly lear or break. 
 
 Fasten the covers of nevv'spapers firmly, so as to prevent 
 them from slipping out. 
 
 When dropping a letter or ricwspaper into a letter-box, al- 
 wavs see that the packet falls into the tjo.\, and does not stick 
 in its passage. 
 
 Never seal letters I'or the Iv.st ?nd West Indies and other 
 hot climates, with wix. S:i ""h a ] rarlice is attended with much 
 inconvenience, and iVoqucntly with serious injury, in conse- 
 (iucucc of the melting ot the wax, and the adhesion of the let-

 to to do the same. 
 
 Never wend money or other Jirtiolo;! of value ('..ron<3[h the 
 Po8t Ortiee, except either by incaiiH of a nioiu-y oro'ir or in a 
 registered letter. C'lroUilly secure every letter or packi't con- 
 taining money or value, tirst with gum and aUcrwards; with 
 good sealing-wax, on v/hich make" the clear jiup)>:s. ion of 
 a seal. 
 
 On posting a registered letter or packet, always obtain a re- 
 ceipt lor the same at the office where posted. 
 
 When letters or papers arc delayed or nii-ssinci', at once com- 
 mnnic.ite the fact to the i^o&tmasitcr oi the division in which is 
 situated the Post Otlice at which the delayed or nlis^iIlL; K-tters 
 were posted. In case of a mis-sing letter ('uclosin;^ vahic, state 
 the exact contents, the exact address, and the ollice at which 
 posted; the name of the peison In whom poste<l, and tiie name 
 of the person by whom received at tlie olUce. In tlic case of a 
 delayed letter or paper, send the cover oj wrai'p r in an entire 
 state, in order that the place oi delay may be a&eerlained by an 
 examination of the post marks. 
 
 Trouble and loss occasionally arise out of the r-iiTlossiics'* or 
 dishonesty of partie.-? eni[)loyed ill the I'o.-i Olhce sii-vice; y^t 
 instances are not wantia.y in which it has been .»;howu to ihe 
 satisfaction even of the complainants, that tiie fault at tiist at- 
 tributed to the I'ost Utiice, in trutii rested in oilier (juarters. — 
 Thelts by private hand,s, although very dilHcuIt of proof, liave 
 not unfr'equently been brought to light? and it is Liieatlv to be 
 desired that those who sutler loss sliould, in the lii>t instance, 
 and while the circumstances are fresh, endeavour to ascertain 
 with the utmost precision all particulars rcspccfinc' the des- 
 
 fiatch or receipt of the lost letters or papers, and lose no timo 
 n communicating this information to tliero.>tniaster. Imleeil, 
 generally speakiU;^, it is only by carefnl enquir\ into mluuto 
 details that the oflender can be detected, win t her he be a ser- 
 vant of the Department or not. 
 
 The Post Office is a department which admits of con.>tant im- 
 provement and expansion. The puhMe. hy sfMiding to llie 
 Postmaster General, clear and correct information respecting 
 faulty arrangements, may materially henelit &■•• -.orvi^'e. It 
 must be remembered, ])(>ue\'er, tliai ehaage.^ in nuichinciv .-o 
 extensive and intrn-ate as that of the I'ost Olilc, mu.-i btmadu

 New Post Offices are established by tho Department whcrc« 
 «ver It is ascertained that a sufficient number of inhabitants
