US ro ruJlleSsly Two weeks ago, mas
now given way to little cooler at
mosphere. For the past few days the
temperature has been perfectly uncx-
ceptionable. But changes in the air
here are 50 sudden and great, that we
certainly cannot expect to enjoy our.
selves much longer. 1t is three weeks
this afternoon since we had anything
like good rain storm. Fourth street
looks smiling once more, and market
men begin to hope that our expecta.
tons of crop will not be cut of by
long continued drouth. Fruit of all
kinds promises to be abundant, with
the exception of the peach, which was
mostly destroyed last winter by the
cold. On going out of the city to the
distance of four or FIVE miles, in vari-
Gus directions, | observe that the APP
pie trees are loaded with fruit almost
to breaking. When apples are plenty
here, the kitchens of the city get along
very well, though peaches, plums,
pears, oranges, pawpaws, &C., be
scarce.
Our city has thus far been very
healthy. The cholera, such a scourge
here three and four years ago, has
hardly excited any attention, though l
see by the papers of the last two days,
that it has broken out rather violently
in some of the northern cities, as San
dusky, Cleveland, Buffalo and Roches
ter. The Cincinnati Daily Times re-
ports thirteen deaths from cholera, du.
ring the last twcnty-four hours, in Buff
falo.
On Monday, Aug. I'd, the colored
people of this city, and the neighbor-
ing towns, came together to celebrate
the anniversary of the West Indian
Emancipation. A procession of scvc-
raj thousands of men, women and
children, with banners hving, marched
down Fifth street to the depot of the
Cincinnati & Dayton Railroad. A
fine band of music enlivened their
movements, which, together with the
Haunting dresses and proud step of
the sable race, gave quite rich ap-
pearance to the company. Several of
the young bucks, not very mindful of
the original occasion which then called
them forth, exhibited some curious
specimens Of negro vanity loading
their persons with tawdry fncry, and
walking as though the earth ought to
consider it an honor for them to tread
upon it. The cars, with martial
strains, proceeded about five miles
from the city to delightful place cal.
led Maple Grove. Speeches, essays,
songs, and music by the band, filled
up the time until 2 o'clock p. M. when
a long table spread with various viands
engaged their attention. The compa-
NY, in general, behaved in a much
more orderly manner than an equal
number of their palcr brethren.

litical campaign begins to be heard ?
little. A whig state convention was
held few days since for nominating
state officers and presidential electors.
The wings of Ohio unite very harmon
iously on the nominees of the Balti

rather doubtful whether this election
will call out the strength of either par

The democratic county caucus was
held yesterday. The democrats Of
this city seem to have split up little
The Miami Tribe and the Sawbucks,
the two divisions of the patty, are very
bitter againt each other, the Sawbucks
affirming that the Miamis have conspir-
ed together to secure all the officers and
other spoils, and that they are utterly
corrupt and unworthy of the public
confidence, and the Miamis denying
their corruption and charging the same
misdemeanors on their enemies. 1t is
however, nothing but township feud,
suppose. If they divide on local poll
cy, national question, will find then

We are to have United States Gus
tom House here. A very fine situa-
ton, at the corner of Race and Fourth
Streets,was purchased more than year
ago,for $25, 900. On account of some
delay in appropriations by Congress
however, active operations were moi
commenced until a few days since
