SAW COMET 30 YEARS AGO.

Mrs. kadie.E. Galbraith Writes From Kinderhook, 111. - Kinderhook, 111., May 5. Editor Democrat:—l will drop a few lines to the paper this morning in regard to Halley’s comet, as n has been visible here for several mornings. I saw it Wednesday morning at 3:30 a. m., and Thursday morning at 4 o’clock. Just 30 years ago I saw the same kind of a comet but the streak or tail from it run downward instead of upward. I lived near Wabash, Ind., at that time. People Were; greatly, excited over it and said it was a sign of war, but the war didn’t come for a good many years after that, the Spanish American war. The weather is fine out here at present. We have -had some very cold weather. All the fruit is killed, the farmers say. We haven’t had water enough to run the dredge boat, and will be hung up all summer unless it rains. Yours truly,

SADIE E. GALBRAITH.
