niSTOmC DAEK DAYS
ONE THAT BROUGHT TERROR TO THE
PEOPLE OF MEW ENGLAND.' ,
It W FrMr( May 10, 1780, and la
Jinny Commuiilllri It Was ThonBAt
That the Dr of Jodsmrnt Was at
Hand A Vrave Legislator.'
Friday, May 10, 17S0, has become
generally known, in 'history as the "dark
day," and, although It baa been traced
to natural cauaes, its coming brought
terror to many communities whose in
habitants, thiuking the day of Judg
ment at band, made haste to settle
Uielr affairs as best they might before
the trump should sound.
A Boston woman Iq the tumult of her
fears sent a messenger to Bev. Mattier
Byles, traditiou says, to inquire the
cause of such an alarming occurrence.
The minister claimed no special infor
mation as to the unusual visitation and
replied that ho was "as much in the
dark about It as any of his parishion
ers." -- , '
Tho darkness came on between 10
and 11 o'clock and speedily had become
so dense that canCles were lighted In
the houses, and men on tbe streets
could navigate only with lanterns. The
birds, having sung their evening eongs,
disappeared, fowls retired to roost, and
cocks crowed, apparently deeming it
the darkness just before dawn.
In the Connecticut legislature some
of tbe more timorous members, unable
to see one .another's faces, sought an
adjournment, but u certaiaMr, Daven
port gained undying fame when he
arose and said: ; '
"Mr, Speaker, it is cither the day of
Judgment or It la not. If it is not, there
is no need of adjourning. If it Is, I de
sire to bo fouud doing my duty. I
move that candles be brought and that
wo proceed to business."
The area of the phenomenon extend
ed from Falmouth, now Portland, Me.,
as far west as Albany, N. Y., and from
the northernmost settlements of New
Hampshire south along the aeacoast to
New Jersey. It varied In intensity,
the darkness being greatest, according
to one writer, Dr. Samuel Tenney of
Exeter, N. II., In the county of Essex,
in.that state. ; , , , , ,
I Although Ilersehel asserts that no
adequate explanation of the occurrence
has been fouud, other scientists have
accounted for tbe pheuomenon upon
the supposition that fires lu the dense
forests of York county, Me., and also
In New Hampshire, which had been
raging for two or three weeks with un
precedented stubbornness and extent,
sent up enormous clouds of smoke and
vapors, which, held in suspension over
the earth at about the height of . the
highest hilltops, prevented the sun'a'
rays from peuetratiug.
For several days previous to this
."black Friday" the air had been full of
smoke and vapor and the sun and
moon were atmormally red. The
clouds were of unusual colors, aud it
waa observed that green objects took
on a deeper green, verging iuto asure,
and that all objects usually white were
tinged with yellow,
"Objects appeared to cast fhade In
every direction, and there were sev
eral coruscatious in the atmosphere,
not unlike the aurora borealis, but no
uncommon appearances of electric
fire," says one writer. The vapors
were decidedly noxious, for after the
atmosphere finally cleared it was found
that many small birds had been suf
focated. Bain descending in some lo
cations was found to be black as ink,
and upon the surface of rivers and oth
er bodies of water appeared a scum
which had the odor of burnt leaves.
This undoubtedly proves the theory of
Uie forest fires.
The darkness lasted all of Friday,
and it is recorded that when tbe time
for ' real darkness had come it was
such as literally could be .cut with a
kuife, equaling, the Egyptian article of
old. One writer observed that a sheet
of white paper held a foot from the
eye was no more visible than a piece of
the blackest velvet.
A poem supposed to have been writ
ten about that time is In part as fol
lows: Of month of May, the nineteenth day.
In seventeen hundred oisrhty.
Day turned to night a doleful sight!
And caused transactions weighty.
Th whlppoorwlll sung notes most shrlli.
Doves to their cotes retreated,
'And all the fowls, excepting owls,
Upon their roosta were seated.
The herds and flncks sood still as stocks
Or to thiir folds were hying,
Men young and old dured not to scold
At wives and children crying.
The day of doom mot thought was come
Throughout New Kngland's borders;
The people, scared, felt unprepared
To obey the dreadful orders.
' '
Philosophy, with curious eye,
W'hllfl viewing tlia phenomenon.
Like all tli rest, freely confessed
It was ft most uncommon one.
Soon It camn out, to ease all doubt.
In space of half a minute.
Though dark-trie day, full ot dismay,
. No miracle was In it.
In New Hampshire, the woods on fire.
Sent smoke up dense and smothering,
Bpread round th sky a ennopy
O'er nil the Yankee brtthren.
rlth one consent they did repent
And promise reformation;
But, danger o'er, Just as before.
Their sins regained possession.
History hns recorded three other net
ably dark days in the United States. It
Is of record that Oct. 21, 1710, was so
dark that "candles had to be lighted so
that people might eat their dinners."
Aug. 0, 1732, was another, the cause of
which Is supposed to --have been a
forest fire In Canada. On Oct. If), 1702,
It Is said that citizens of Detroit were
In darkness at midday, and It Is sup
