The DARK Day Of 1850

A friend recently placed in our hand
letter, written more than seventy years
ago by DIR. Caleb G.. Adams, of Exeter,
n. Ii. to General Nathaniel Folsom, of
that town, who was at the time member
ofthe Provincial Congress, philadelphia.
In the following passage, that well known
phenomenon, the Dark Day. which
spread alarm, and in some cases, conster-
nation through this part of the country,
is described, with details which must
prove deeply interesting to many of our
readers. The letter is dated Exeter,
May 27, 17S0-Boston Journal.
We had very ex-
traordinary phenomenon the 10Th day Of
this month. In the morning it was rainy
till about nine o'clock, when the clouds
broke away and the sun appeared, but
very red. After nine the clouds grew
very thick, with the wind from southwest,
in light breezes; at half past ten it was
uncommonly dark, the clouds appearing
of.a yellowish hue. At eleven the public
school was dismissed, lit being so dark
that no person could read or write. It
continued to grow darker till twelve,
when it was so dark that we could not
tell one person from another in room
with three large windows. In short, it
was midnight darkness at noon-day! The
fowls went to roost, and there was a
strong smell of smoke. 1t had been very
dry for long time before, the wind hav-
ing been at east Tor four or Eve days
which drove the smoke back to the west
ward and when the wind shifted, it
brought it all down in body, which, to-
gether with the dense clouds, caused the
darkness, which lasted till three o'clock,
P. NJ, before it began to grow light.
Thousands of people who could not ac-
count for it from natural causes, were
greately terrified, and indeed it cast u
niversal gloom on the earth. The frogs
and night-hawks began their notes. At
four o'clock the wind shifted to the north
east, which brought the clouds back, and
at sun set it was again very dark At
nine o'clock it was darkness to be felt by
more senses than one, and there was
strong smell Of SCOT. Almost everybody
who happened to be out in the evening
got lost in going home. The darkness
was uncommon in the night as it was in
the day, as the moon had fulled the day
