Local Matters.

The WEATHER.-Yesterday wa5 first cool
day in quite number of days, and the wind blew
chilly from the east. This east wind is of the
few winds that blow ever our city and do not make
the dust rise. How strange, to be cure!
Have we had the Indian summer yet We have
had little spell very like it, but it surely too
early for the genuine Indian summer. We believe
the 10th of November is the appointed time for the
beginning Of this season, and, we doubt that any
modern fashion is going to anticipate its coming.
We have heard many serious persons seriously
discussing the question of what kind of a winter is
at hand, and some how or other mild one ap-
pears IS be almost unanimously agreed upon. A
very strong indication of this is said to be found in
the fact that the three days next preceding the
tumnal equinox were fair and pleasant This
sign is said to be infallible.
We are partial to mild winters, and, since our
New England friends have undertaken to keep
their southern brethren cool, need not fear that
our ice houses will not be rcpenishcd.
METAL RooFs.-We have been assured by good
observer that tin roofs perish very soon where a
chimney emitting coal-smos is near them Whe-
Their wood-smoke produces a like effect or not we
have not learned, but presume it does. We should
think the pyroEignous acid would of itself be suff
cient TO oxydize metal roof if deposited upon it
in damp weather; and the smoke of coal no doubt
contains elements quite as pernicious.
Whatever the cause, however, the effects are
worthy of observation. On many accounts, metal
roofs are very desirable, and il is important that
the beat means of preserving them should be un-
derstood Paint is Of course very serviccable, but
it is not applied with a sufficiently liberal hand.
Against the action of acids oil is good protector,
and spirit of turpentine should in this be ac-
cordingly avoided.
We would like to have upon this subject the
views of some one practically and theoretically
skilled in it. The dissemination of correct know
ledge upon it would be public benefit.
PRETTY.-On looking into The populaiion schcd-
