! lnneeu many assert THAT IL was the hottest "a J
of the season in the sun, although the tbef-
nometer in the shade showed it to be few de-
grees cooler than during several days last week,
| The one in our Office stood at 80 degrees dur
ing the greater portion of the morning, and at
thee o'clock in the afternoon it was at 81, az
ter which it gradually cooled off until at seven
O'Clock last evening it appeared stationary at
80. There was a light breeze blowing during
! the day from the south.
! Look out for There's. A few DAYS ago a lit
tie daughter of Elias T. Griffin Esq, whose
residence is in Pearl street, few doors above
Mulberry went up into one Of the bedrooms
of the house. where, after remaining short
time, she was startled by strange white man
rolling suddenly from under the bed, and bolt
ing with all possible speed down stairs, through
several other rooms, where the rest of the te-
male portion Of the family were sitting, and
thence into the street. AS matter Of couise
they were all dreadtully frightened, and ere
they could recover from the shock and give
the alarm, the villain had made his escape -
How, or at what time he entered, is not known,
but the presumption is that he cautiously made
his way in at the front door while open, pro-
ceeded up stairs for the purpose Of robbing, and
became alarmed and creeped under the bed,
from whence he made his exit in such hurry,
unfortunately without receiving a load OF shot
in his legs or good cowhiding across the
shoulders, for his daring impudence Look ost
the villain.
