The Year Without a Summer.

The Year Without Summer.
 The follow article Is from the bos ton Coneregationalist, clipped come years ago, and here resurrecteo oe' cause come people are of the opinion that climates are changing, ana tna1 the weather being experienced is"some' thing unprecedented" The summer of 1916 is herein written about. It was called the year without snmmer' and the story is thus told:
 January and February were m'io; March was cold; April began warm. but ended in snow and ice. Ice formed an inch thick in May, and helds were planted over and over again till 1t was too late 70 replsnt. June was tne coldest ever known in this latitude; frost and ice were common. Almost every green thing was killed; fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to 'ne depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven in Maine, three in the interior of New York, and also in Massachusetts. Inere were few warm days. It was called dry season. The wind blew steadily from the north, cold and fierce. Moth CTS knit extra socks and mittens TOT their children in the spring, and wood- piles. that usually disappeared during the warm spell in front of the houses were speedily built up again. Plant ing and shiveripg were done together and the farmers who worked out their taxes on the county roads wore over coats and mitteus. On the l7th o' June heavy snow fell in New Eng land. The cold was intense. farmer who had a large field of corn in Tewks bury built fires around it at night te ward off the frost; many an evening h' and his neiphbors tock turns watchin' them. He was rewarded with the oni! orop of corn in the neighborhood Considerable damage was done m NeV Or,eans in conseouence of the raplt rise of the Mississippi river. Fear were entertained that the sun wa cooling off, aud throughout New Eng land all picnics were strictly prohibit ed. July was accom panied with fros and ice. Indian corn was nearly al destroyed; some favorably situated fields escaped. August was mor cheerless, if possible, than the sun me months which preceded it. Ice forme half an inch in thickness. Indian cor = was so frozen chat the greater par was cut down and dried for fodde Almost every green thing was destroye in this country and Europe. On tf Both snow fell at Barnet, forty mil' from London. Farmers supplied theo selves from corn produced in iSlo, r' seed in the spring of 1877. It sold

A Little Boy Killed.

The Columbia Record says Hilkon
Sims, a white boy about ten years old
was shot and instantly killed thismor'
ning.. A little negro boy, Hal Cor.
don about nine years old Is responsible
for his death. Young Sims, with
o car Forde and Alvin Sims about
the same age were in woods near
Benedict institute. They had with
them q single barrel shot gun. Some
of the boys had sling shots, and they
all laid aside the gun and were shoot.
ing at birds with their sings. While
they were engaged in this the little
negro came up and began handling
the gun, the other. boys not noticing
him. Suddenly the gun fred, and
shot from it penetrated young Sims
chest, striking the heart and killing
him instantly. The OTHER boys imm'
cdiatly alarmed the neighborhood,
but nothing could be done for the I'M
fortunate boy. It Is presumed that
the killing was purely from careless
ness and ignorance on the part OF the
little negro. The coroner was duly
notified. The dead boy was the son
of Mr.. Jack Sims, who is employed at
Southern railway shops, and who lives
in the earsterp suburbs on the Two

cordipg to an order Isl ued by Commits.
Toner Tatum q short time ago, must
be prepared to swear to the accuracy
OF their report on each dispensary

of the discovery that many shortages
occur by the usesf dummies or half
empty Eases that have been checked
by inspectors as full cases. MI. Ia

age in Charleston and q recent one In
a town in the upper part Of the state
ne was convit I'D that the inspection

This happened some time ago with q

+ A dispatch from Newport, B. L,
says sensational developments are
likely to follow an expo led arrest OF
Henry A. Jackson, Of Tauton, owner
Of the sloop Dorado, which was cap

noon and found full of loot. She is
now called the Pirate sloop and jack
son, the Pirate Skipper. Although
search has has been made In several
cities in New England for him, nc
clew has been obtained.
1t Is thought that when persons be.
gin to claim articles In Che Dorado,
there will come to light a startling
series Of thefts from houses and
yachts along the coast from Maryland
to Rhode Island. There Is, too, a
suspicion that something very like q
clew to the shooting of Ms. Walter
@, Morrill,, in Greenwich, Corn, will
develop. Chloroform, dynamite and
nito- gly csrine are aEoard the Dorado,
and it has been suggested that the
sloop may have figured In q bank rob
berry In Bridgeport, Conn.
Sheriff Anthony hops the owner
Of silver marked Arbuckle will claim
it, and that the owner Of solid silver
hand mirrors marked ''E a. A.. Will
call for it, and linen marked Julia

The sheriff has learned that the

Many pawn tickets indicated that

took, a great amount Of stuff going to

lived well. Among papers was found
che bill Of sale Of the Dorado to Jack.
