caused great excitement throughout the country,
equalling almost the famous Versailles disaster.

persons to speculate on the probable nature Of
the ensuing harvest. The winters Of 1907, 1909,
1913, and 1917 were exceeding mild, and the crops
were abundant. There was neither snow nor frost

rem aimed encamped throughout the whole of II in
