The Dark Year of 1816.
A Detroit paper judging from (1
course of the wnather this wititc
thinles we are likely to have "anoth
year i ithout a sumier," and t I,
goes on to acnifort its Ieaders wi
these assuring words !
If the pinching weather freez
young or old blood into a horror
worse things tI come, it nay conso
such to know that wOre things la
happened, and the world survive,
The year 1816, or the year "cighte<
hundred and starvdd to death," wi
also known as "the year witl
oft a buinmbr," anti the colde
ever experienced within the memoi
of man on this or the Eastern Contii
ent. The previous December wi
very cold ; but January was so mil
that fires were hearedly neellel
February was also genial, followed b
an ordinary Marcb, with cold an
boisterous opening weather, but milt
or at the close. A aril Was more ik
winter than spring. A fe-ooious Ma
killed buds and frqits with half a
inch of ice, and the Gelds werU plab
ed and replanted with corn, which we
constantly nipped by the frost. Fros
Ice ahd snow in Juie killed near]
every green thing, and destroyc
nearly all the fruit. Saow fell tom
inches deep in Vermont, and covere
the ground in Mas.sachusetts and No,
York. On the fifth of July ice thie
us window glass was formed. India
corn was badly damaged and wha
.4urvived was still more injured b
the August ice. Farmers wer
obliged to plant in the spring of 181
the corn of 1815. It cost from fou
to five dollars a bushel. The \V e
tern farmers who are burning thei
corn for fuel many take the hint. TIh
rqst of the year was icy and frosty
ending In i amilti anti eotnfurtable De
comber. The sun seemed to impar
very little heat ; nature looked a
melancholy as in November, ani
men's ininds were depressed with anx
inty fur the future; The averag
wholesale price of lour was thirtee
dollars a barrel. With our excessiv
crips of corn and wheat it would pre
bubly be Iliossible to produce an

One of the most noticeable features

J it is divided in1to ladies' and gentle,
