How FAR THE SOUND OF A CAN

Hill was fought June 14th, 1775.
The sound of the cannon used in the
engagement was very distinctly heard
by persons On the Deerield river, on
the east side of Hoosick mountain,
where now is the town of Charlemont,
Mass, the distance being one hundred
and twenty miles This is asserted in
"The Memoirs of Captain Lemuel
Roberts," a rare work printed at Ben

BY many persons at Washington City,
distant, in direct line, one hundred

as "a Curious Fact" in weekly

New York in 1812-13. These cases
are well authenticated. The cannon

In the practice of economy there is

a desire to purchase what he can do
without, and has not the ready money
to spare for it, consider whether there
may not be more real comfort without
it than with it, when not quite certain
whence the money is coming to pay
the indebtedness. In the end pleas
ure will be found on the side of doing
without the wished.f for thing. Doing
this once and again for months, one

SEPTEMBER.

Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
In meadows where the downy seeds are
flying;
And soft the breezes blow
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubbed corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden
places,
And glittering insects CLEAN
Above the reedy stream,
Where busy spiders spin their filmy laces.
AT eve cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes in purple
turning,
And pearly vapors lie
Along the eastern sky,
Where the broad harvest moon is redly
burning.
All, soon on field and hill
The winds shall whistle chill,
And patriarch swallows call their flocks
together,

The fairer blossoms of balmier weather.

Above the fosmy bar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies are

Through the dark cedar trees,
And round about my temples fondly lin

In gentle playfulness,
Like to the soft caress
Bestowed in happier days by loving fin

Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the Summer doubly

Boston, September Z.
All Of New England and large
section Of New York State yesterday
had q strange atmospheric experience
It was another "dark day" and in many
respects the phenomena was similar
to those observed on May 10, 1880.
In some sections the day began with
slow gathering Of fog from all the
water courses. The thin clouds that
covered the sky at midnight seemed
to crowd together and descend upon
the earth, and by sunrise the atmos-
phere was dense with vapor, which
limited vision to very short distances
and make those distances illusory.-
As the sun arose the yapors became a
thick, brassy canopy, through which
strange yellow light prevailed the

the earth. This color and darkness
lasted until about three o'clock in the
afternoon, once in while tightening

The light was mysteriously devoid
Of refraction. One sitting with his
back to the window could not read the
newspaper if his shadow fell upon it;
he was obliged to turn the paper aside
to the light. Though the darkness
was not at all like that Of night the
birds kept still. When in the alters
noon the sun began to be visible
through the strange mists it was like

It was not till between five and six
o'clock that the sun had sufficiently
