 In the year 18GG, I here will be fine Eclipses, TiiaEis of the Sun 
 and TWO of the MooN, but of these, only TWO will be visible in this 
 Island. 
 
 The first — a partial Eclipae of lite S>un, March 16th, itivisible in 
 this Islind, and will be s^en only beiween the parallelM of 44 nnd 82 
 North Latitude, and from V^O East to 77 West Longitude, that is, 
 in the North Pacific Ocean, Siberi i, See. 
 
 The spcond — a total Eclipse of the Moon, March the 30th and 3l8tt 
 .visible in Newfoundland.

 Last contact with Penumbra at 4h 7m 473 a.m. 
 
 , As the Moon will rise about 6h. 21m. p.m. on the 30th, and set 
 about 5b. 46m. a.m. on the Slat, she will consequently be on the 
 Meridian, or due South, at midaight, and thus during the whole time 
 of this Eclipse, the Moon can be seen with the greatest advantag*;, 
 for althougnshe will be totally deprived of light both from the Sun 
 and the Earth, yet she will show a faint, dull red light, caused by the 
 Sun's rays refracted by ,tha Earth's atmosphere j so that ii the 
 .weather be fine, and the atmosphere clear, this Eclipse will be an in- 
 teresting phenomenon, especially to our hardy seal hunters. 
 
 The third— a par'iaZ Eclipse of the Sun, April the Itth, not visi- 
 ble in Newfpundland, and will be seen only in the Soiiithern Ocean 
 and in a part of Australia- . 
 
 The fourth—a total Eclipse of the Moon, September 23rd and 
 24th, invisible in Newloundland, as the Moon will be below our 
 horizon during its continuance. 
 
 The fifth — a partial Eclipse of the Sun, October 8th, partly visi- 
 ble in Newfoundiund.

 «• Mariners leaving Sydney, Cape Breton, bound to St. John's, 
 Newfoi^ndland, shaul 1 be very carefalin the course they steer. The 
 common course is E.S.E., hut if the wind is S.S.W. the course 
 should be S.E. instead of E.S.E., particularly after a N.E. or Nor- 
 therly wind ; that wind forces tiie water out of the Straits oi Beile 
 Isle so strong when the wind changes to the Southwest or Souih it" 
 relaxes back again, which causes a very strong current from the 
 South running to the North, and hems the mciriner in shjre ; the 
 result is, his vessel is stranded or a intal wrecK before he knows 
 where lie is situated* I throw out this hint for Newfoundlanders in 
 ])articu!ar, as they generally keep too near ilie coast. Eaglishmeu 
 coming down adopt a better course frum Sydney to St. John's ; they 
 give Nt^wfoundiand a good berth until they pass Cape Kace, then 
 ihey haul in and make the iront of the Island, whicU is a gaod plan, 
 the saft'St coming from lh« Wtatward."

 February. — February (Latin, Februarius) received its name 
 from Februalia, a feast of sacrifices and purifications held by the 
 Romans in this month, in the vain hope of being c'eansed from the 
 sins of the whole year. It corresponds to Adar (Ezra vi. 16), the 
 sixth civil, and twelfth sacred mouth of the Jews. By the Saxons 
 it was called Sproutkele, as cabbages begin to sprout now j and also 
 Sol-monath, tke mouth when pancakes were offered to Sol, or the 
 Sun.

 when the name uf the &im will suffice. The only exception to this
