Snow In April, 134o.
Our little paragraph last week in refer
ence to this section having been visited by
snow storm on the 10Th of April, 1S49,
has caused some discussion among our
older citizens, and there is a difference Of
opinion as to the exact date. We have re-
ferred back to the files of the old Anderson
Gazette, and in the issue of that paper dated
April 10th, 1849, ne find the following:
sThe soldest ;nhabitant' does not perhaps
recollect having witnessed such spell of

some weeks of fine Spring weather, which
had caused vegetation of every kind to

ture to rejoice at the idea that Winter had
taken it's farewell for season, on Saturday
night last a sudden change was perceptible
in the atmosphere, and on Sunday morn
ing it was quite cool and cloudy. Early
in the day it commenced showing in beau
tiful style, which continued for several
hours, and we learn that in some places
the earth was actually covered to the depth
of an inch or two. During the night fol-
lowing we had severe frost and freeze,
killing every vegetable of tender Kind,
and greatly retarding the growth of those
of more hardy nature. We fear that
wheat, some of which is headed out, will

that has followed, will be time leng TO be
remembered by the inhabitants of this re-

a D.ring Store Robbery in MT. Carmel.


On April 10, when the sun was just
peeping over the horizon, the community
of Mt. Carmel was thrown into unusual
excitement on learning that the large
brick store of ". N. Mercier & Co.. near
the depot, had been entered during the
night and robbed. The lends, not salts.
fed with their plunder of about one hum
dred and twenty dollars, attempted to
burn the store and stock of goods, worth
seven thousand dollars or more. It Is a
miracle that the store was not found in
ashes the next morning, as they had
formed stream of kerosene oil from the
oil tank to tierce Of lard on the opposite
side of the room. Then using paper and
other fuel, and matches by the gross,
building fires on the oil tank and tierce Of
lard-both being cpan-yet the fires went
out, foiling them in their fiendish attempt
to burn, and exposing their plot.
The citizens, generally, turned out with
a determined purpose, scouting the sur.
rounding country with the determination
of the redman of the West. They soon
got wind of their game long before sunset.
The goods were recovered, most of which
had been concealed under the large wagon
scales at Capt. Cade's gin.
Suspicion rested on notorious negro,
Bob. Partlow, who was soon under arrest.
This was followed by the arrest of Allen
Partlow, Gilbert Huff and Tut Danford,
all negroes. Unfortunately Bob. Partlow
broke loose from his guard at night, and
is again at large. Tut Danford turned
States evidence, and Allen Partlow and
Gilbert Huff were committed to Jail on
warrants issued by the Justice of Mt. Car
mel.
Meroier & co. offer reward of $50 for
the delivery of Bob. Partlow, which
amount will likely be increased by the
citizens. He is fifty years old, nearly six
feet high, copper color, sharp, bony face,
shows his teeth, knees sink back, is pig
eon-toed, and wears No. 9 shoe. The
people are anxious for his arrest, and that
justice will deal so strongly with them,
that it will be rebuke to the vandalism
that would destroy life and property by
the wholesale to conceal comparatively
small theft. OCCASIONAL:

WOMAN AND HER UMBRELLA.
Waterbury Girls Want the Right of
 Way Every Time.

Waterbury Girls Want the Right of
 Way Every Time.
 It has been said. and we believe it, that only one woman in twenty-seven knows how to carry an umbrella and she rarely carries her knowledge into practice. Every rain storm proves this. Among men there is tacit understanding that the umbrella shall be tilted in passing, so that neither of the pedestrians shall be wholly uncovered for even a short time. But the women haven't time for anything of this kind. Their eyes are fixed on some distant point and they strike out in that direction like pedestrians in six day-go-as-you-please race. Saturday night three of the gentle sex met at the corner near the Apothecaries hall. The rain was pouring down i'll torrents and the three beauties, each armed with a big umbrella, occupied the whole walk for several minutes, while unfortunate pedestrians had to wade out in the gut ter in passing. Finally large sized policeman approached the group from going to order them to disperse, but the l timid creatures took the hint and went their several ways. Under the awning at the Bank street side of the Apothecaries | hall, miserable man armed with an umbrella, which he struggled man. fully to carry, in conjunction with a big load of groceries, was met by one of the girls. The space was small and great care had to be exercised by both in order to avert catastrophe. The woman glared fiercely, grasped her umbrella and charged straight ahead. The man tried to manage his load and umbrella and get out of the way, but was unsuc- cessful. The woman's parachute poked him in the ear and when he tried to es- cape the impending catastrophe his hat rolled into the gutter. The woman only scowled and passed on while the mar laid his groceries on box and started on a run after his hat.
