A TALE OF A HORSE THAT REMEMBERED THE TRAITS How a Stolen Horse, Happening to Pass his Old Home, Proved his Identity John A. Welsh said to a represen tative of The Star several days ago that tbe stealing of August Harold's horse reminded him of bis father having a horse stolen a number of years ago and the peculiar manner n whloh tbe horse was recovered again. Twelve year after the horse bad been stolen a man drove up to Mr. Welsh's farm and stopped. Mr. Welsh recognized hit horse and said to the man, " that Is THE RECORD OF A YEAR IN WHICH WINTER REIGNED THROUGHOUT THE USUAL SUMMER MONTHS In the Year 1816 January and February were Warm while During May, June, July and August Frost and Snow were Frequent Occurrences When Famine Threatened The year 1816 was known throughout the United States and Europe as the coldest evor experienced by any persons thon living. The following is a brief summary of the weather during each month of that year: January was mild, so as to rendor fires almost useless In parlors. February was not cold ; with the exception of a few days, it was like Its predecossor. March was cold and boisterous during tbe early part of tho month ; the remainder was mild. A great freshet occurred on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, which caused much loss of property. April began warm, but grew colder as the month advanced, and ended with snow and ice, and a temperature more like Winter than Spring. May was more remark able for frowns than smiles. Buds and fruits were frozen ; ice formed an inch thick ; corn was killed, corn fields were again and again replanted until deemed too late. June was the coldest ever known In' this latitude ; frost and ice were com mon. Almost every greon thing was killed ; fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow full to the depth of 10 inches in Vermont, seven in Maine, three In the interior of Now York and also in Mas sachusetts, Thero wore a few warm days. It was called a dry season. But little rain foil. Tbe wind blew steadily from the north, cold and fierce. Plant ing and shivering wore done together, and the farmers who worked out their taxes on the country roads wore over ooats and mittens. In a town in Ver mont a flock of sheep belonging to a farmer bad been sont, as usual to their posture. On the 17th of June a heavy snow fell ; tbe cold was Intense, and tbe owner started away at noon to look for his sheep. "Better start the neigh bors soon, wife," he said In jest before leaving ; "Boing in the middle of June I may get lost in tbe snow." Night came, the storm increased and he did not return. The next morning the A PONY CART OUTFIT FREE. Tbe Pittsburg Sunday Dispatch Offers a Handsome Prize to Children for the Solution of Four Puzzles.

Johnston, of Broughton, Ga., "that of- OF HIS EARLIER DAYS. by a Little Trick. my horse you are driving. " .To prove bis claim to horse Mr. Welsh proposed that the horse be unhitched, turned in at the gate and If it did not go to the barn, pull out a wooden pin with its teeth, which was used to fasten door, and go into a oertalu stall, it was not bis horse. The man agreed and the horse did just as Mr. Welsh had said It would do and he got his horse again The other man had bought the horse six years before that from an agent family sent out for help and started in search. One after another of the Neighbors turned out to look for tbe missing man. The snow had covered up all tracks, and not until the end of the third day did thoy find him on the side of a hill, with both foet frozen, unable to move. July was accompanied with frost and Ice. On the 6th Ice was formod of the thickness of common window gloss throughout New England, Now York and some parts of Pennsylvania. August was more cheerless, if possible, than the Summor months which preceded it. Ice was formed half an inch In thick ness. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part was out down , and dried for fodder. Papers received from England stated "that it would bo re membered by tho present generation that the year 1816 was a year In which there? was no Summor." Soptember furnished about two woeks of the mlldost weather of the soason. Soon after tbe middle, It became cold and frosty ; ice formed a quarter of an Inch in thickness. October produced more than its share of cold weather ; frost and ice were common. The above is a brief summary of the cold Summer of 1810. as it was called, In order to distinguish it from the Winter. The Winter was mild. Frost and loe were common In every month of the year. Very little vegetation was matured in tbe Eastern and Middle States. The sun's rays seemed to be destitute of heat during the Summer ; all nature was clad In a sable hue, and men exhibited no little anxiety con cerning the future of this life. The average price of flour during the year in the New York market was 913 per barrel. The average price of wheat in England was 97 shillings per quarter. Bread riots occurred throughout Great Brittan in 1817, In consequence of the high price of the staff of life. ten I was unable to work. Thon, when everything else failed, I was wholly cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. My wife suffere'd in tensely from Asthma, till it cured her, and all our experience goes to show it Is the best Croup modlcinb in tbe world."
