Remarkable Rainfall Phenomenon Reported Near New Castle
From Philadelphia a curious tale describes a tree six miles from New Castle tower ingrain showers that rain only when the sun shines and sky is clear. The owner cut the black oak after eleven days of rain, and the downpour ceased. Elsewhere no rain fell. Reports from Rhode Island and Dublin mention naval actions, pirate captures, and shipments amid a wider stream of international news and political updates.
