The Weather.
Samuel Hart, boy look at the thermometer.
How does it range7'
"Oniy little over "a, sir!
Nercful heaven, that we should live in latitude
or longitude where the word "only" is applied TO
the mercury meandering only degree or two below
blood heat.
We cannot stand or sit it. We will be off this very
afternoon to Rockaway or Fort Lee-the two coolest
places we know OF. Rockaway is delightful the pa
von the place of all others to spend fortnight-the
air the sea, the bathing, the bellies the bahers the
bathos, the wines, the ct ceteras, and The civty Of
Blake and Reed render it delightful ssjourn.
At Fort Lee, our old friend Pole, Of the Pavilion
renders his place perfect paradse-the air there is
braclng-the view the most delightful any where
around N. York for 80 mles-his house clean a new
pn-hs wife, the neatest middle aged lady we ever
saw-obIging and kind 10 all her guests.
Pure water-good lqnors-lots of ice-quie rooms
fine grass plat groves-fne woods full offine
woodeock. We positively must spend month there
ere long,
At any rate we must 60 semewhere-we are dis
solving daily-so are our neighbors 1t was rumor-
ed yesterday that three large ridges Of fat found on
the side walk in Wall street, were caused by Thad
Phelps, Harry Ward and Tom Van Pine passing that

large bowl of ice in which he receives his spe.
Gle payments for punch and juaps-the metal being
hot take the skin off the fingers of those who
present it. Patent cast iron pantaloons pockets are
the only things to preserve specie in 1t burns hole
in all other materials. The laitHdes are changed. A
cargo Of refrgeraors is expected from Trinidad, and
| a quantity Of ice is on its way from New Orleans
People afraid 60 South for fear of being frozen
God help us price is set upon human fat and
man in Water street pays fat people literally by the
hour TO stand in a tub Of water-the human fat that
exudes from them being afterwards collected and sold
at high price, New York is the hotbed of the world
and either DR.. Sherwood, IN discovering the lonei-
tude, has changed latitude and put us between the
tropics or else the is having regular flare up be-
fore its great eclipse next September. Although
perhaps after ALL it is owing to the heat Of the out
| breaks in Canada. The two pavilions al Reckaway
and Fort Lee the only coe places in this state
| Every one knows whsre the hottest is!
