There will be three . eclipses this year, one of the moon, a par tial, on June 12th, visible through out this country, and two of the sun, one a total, on May 28th, the other an annular eclipse, on Nov. 22d, the latter not visible on this side of the earth. Astronomers have calculated that the path of totality of the eclipse of the sun on the 28th of May will pass through Winnsboro and Lancaster. The width of the path will be 55 miles, and to all points within that path the sun will be totally obscured by the shadow of the moon for about a minute and a quarter. During that time the brighter stars may be seen and the chickens may hurry ofl to roost, though the sun will be scarcely an hour above the eastern horizon. The Confederate Veteran*' Meeting Saturday.
