People who chained to bo out last night about midnight , if they were obbervlng , noticed one of the most beautiful eclipses of the moon that has ever been seen In this latitude , or any other for that matter. The air was remarkably clear , and while there were some few clouds floating In the sky none of thorn Interfered In the least with the view of the eclipse. The moon first entered the penumbra at 10 37 , the shadow at 10 55 and the greatest obscurity was at 1 23 At that time about four-fifths of the moon's surface was obscured. The moon left the shadow at 3 o'clock , nnd at 4 IS the fair orb had resumed Its wonted appear ance.
