Alvin Smith, who counts % years him
self, calls attention to a little article
which he found from the Christian Her

Mr. Smith wasn't so spry as he is now.
In the year 1916 frost was seen in New
I England every mouth. Ice formed half
an inch thick in May; now fell to the
depth OF ten inches in Vermont seven
in Maine, three in the interior of New
I York and also in Massachusetts In the
month Of June ice as thick rs window
glass formed in New England, New York
and parts OF Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith
thinks it must be right, because the
Christian Herald published the story.
