THE WEATHER.-The weather cleared up on
Saturday night with north wind, and yesterday
we had as clear sky as either Mexico or Italy can
boast Of 1t was charming day, with an atmos-
phere bracing and pleasant, and every one was
cheeredby its influences. The public health, too, is
improving, as will be seen by reference to the
report of the Board of Health. Tie opinion pre-
walls among the medical faculty that the epidemic
has passed its most fatal day, and that heneeforh
the number of its victims will rapidly decline. The
disappearance of the disease will of course be
accelerated by continuation of such weather as
the city was favored with yesterday.

something beyond mere farce, extravaganza, and
folly Hitherto these socialists and fanatics, OF all
kinds, have ranted and raved, sometimes in Boston,
sometimes in New York, occasionally varying
their exercises with love feast, at Brook Farm or
some other place. But since the influence which
they have exerted upon the two great parties is
seen and felt in political action, they are assuming
more important airs, and will evidently attempt to
affect more dangerous and more hurtful purposes
than have hitherto been known.
The friends and supporters Of the Federal Union
would do well to hold themselves in readiness and
in unison with the present patriotic hef magis-
trae at Washington, for there is we suspect, bad
time coming in Congress and the country.
