Mr.. EprroR After an unusually cold and back
ward slring, and a cherries June, the hot wcaihe
has come with a tierceness, which makes us cry out
against the heat as earnestly as a week or two since
we did against the cold. Linen Coats and lee
Creams are in demand, and portly gentlemen are
fast lousing their superabEndant fat, and lean ones
seem to be almost equally affected by the heat. =
lazy folks always work hardest to secure their own

heat, in trying TO keep cool. However for a day or
Two past the weather Is more moderate, and yester-
day and To-day have been Two OF the finest days of the
