Pittsfield, Mass, — Snow-balling on 

 the 29th of July was the sport in- 

 dulged in by small boys at noon fol- 

 lowing one of the most severe hail 

 storms that ever passed over the city. 

 The hail fell very fast and on the 

 lawns and roads it looked as though 

 there had been a heavy snow storm. 

 In the vicinity of the city hall, where 

 the hail gathered on the roofs and then 

 slid to the ground, the snow was piled 

 over a foot deep. Leaves were clipped 

 from trees and from the outskirts of 

 the city came many reports of dam- 

 age to crops.

Obituary 



Alexander McKerichar. 

 Alexander McKerichar, one of the 

 oldest of Washington, D. C, gardeners, 

 passed away on Sunday last after an 

 illness of but one week. Born in Perth- 

 shire, Scotland, eighty-three years ago, 

 his first entrance into the business was 

 as an apprenticed gardener at the gar- 

 dens of the Duke of Athole, at Dunkeld 

 in 1847. In 1851 he crossed the water 

 and entered the employ of Robert 

 Steele at Winchester, Va., as nursery 

 foreman. He came to Washington in 

 1854 and entered the employ of the 

 Government at the United States Bo- 

 tanic Gardens, serving first under Wil- 

 liam Breckinridge and later under the 

 late William R. Smith, remaining in 

 this position until June 1855, when he 

 was appointed foreman of the gardens 

 of the President. In May 1875, he en- 

 gaged in the nursery and florist busi- 

 ness in Alexandria, Va., continuing in 

 this business until February, 1881, 

 when he accepted the position of super- 

 intendent of Glenwood Cemetery, which 

 position he held until his death. He 

 is survived by three daughters and two 

 sons. Death came as a result of a gen- 

 eral breakdown brought about by the 

 present hot weather and probably by 

 grief at the death of his brother re- 

 cently in Wroxeti'r. Canada.
