Dark Day. ---Thursday last, was the
most remark dole Dark Day, that has ever
been witnessed by the citizens of this place.
The darkness occasioned bv the Eclipse
of tiie S in in dune 1806, was nothing in
•minpavisun to tli3t of Thursday. The
Court, which was then sitting— .tavern
keepers, and many private families, were
oh ig- and to light candies at H o’clock in the !
forenoon, and k ’t-p them burning for near-
V Uvo hours; thi fowls went to roost, and
every ttiing had die complete appearance
of night, indeed, it was the. opinion of
some, tli.u the Court oiignt to have sus
pended u the business of the Country
as there u-as every appearance of a sudden
termination of earthly alfairs, aad that
they, as well as ad others, would soon have ;
to appear before a higher tribunal. The
morning had been foggy and rho atmos
phme extremely cloudy, but whether that
coniJ hive occasioned the tot..i darkness
at noon, we cannot pretend to say.
Capt. Appleton, arrived at Boston from
St. Thomas’s, was informed by the com
mandant of LbA place, that a summon* had

there that pO.OOu French troops were to
