about eight o'clock, and was SO thick thai
it was impossible to see at distance o.
more than three or four rods, notwithstand

neon and clear sky. What makes it NOR;
strange is, that this fog seemed to be il
clusters, for person walking the stree
would pass into it. and by walking few
steps further would come out into cleal
spot, which would be perfectly free from
the fog. In Arlington the log commenced
at about o'clock, and remained all nigh
