The spring of 1849 began about the last ten days of February. During March it began to look as if frost and ice would never be seen again. The boys laid aside their jeans clothes and shoes and began to wade and go in washing before the month closed. About the first week in Aoril farmers began to replant and cultivate their corn. April came in as hot as July. By the *10th English i peas were in full bloom and the early kinds nearly large enough for the tables. The forests were green and the petals of fruit blooms had all disappeared and the trees were loaded with young fruit. Early wheat was in boot and in many fields the heads were showing. Saturday cold breezes began to come in from the North and. during the night heavy clouds rolled up. When people arose Sunday morning, April 15, 1849, the first thing was to hunt their heavy clothing. Then winter fires were built. The clouds got darker and heavier j and by 8 o'clock the snow was j falling rapidly. It continued five I to six hours. It melted fast, as the ground was warm, nut the general opinion was that six inches fell. The forest trees were bent by the heavy snow that lodged on the gre^n leaves. It cleared off during the afternoon and the next morning the ground was frozen hard and there was ice where water was standing water. Corn, garden vegetables, cotton and fruit were killed. Our recollection is that a half whe&t crop was made and that corn and cotton were planted over and a good crop was made. The foliage tnat was killed was renewed in part. There were r?o weather I records in those days, there may j not have been a dozen thermomi eters in the country.?Carolina Spartan. Letter to 2. V. BBAEFCBD, Fort Mill, S. C., Dear Sir.
