BLACK RAIN IN IRELAND.
On the 14th of May, 1849, a shower of black rain fell in several parts of Ireland. It was particularly noticed at Carlow, Kilkenny, and Abbeyleix, and is supposed to have extended over an area of more than four hundred square miles. It occurred about six o'clock in the evening, and was preceded by such extreme darkness, that it was impossible to read except by candlelight. After this darkness had existed for some time, a hail-storm, attended with vivid lightning, but without thunder, occurred, and when this subsided, the black rain fell. This rain was found on examination
