Saturday morning wa. raw and chilly, very chilly,
after the sitting heat of the day before. Everybody
said that the thermometer had fallen. What particu-
lar hemomete that general individual referred to has
not been absolutely ascertained. special reporter
after prolonged investigation, could only surmise
that he was speaking of that one which had been
pouring its voeys of blazing bulletins down upon this
doomed City with such terrible effect for the week
past. However the bombardment from the flights of
Brooklyn was over. Everybody said the thermome-
ter had fallen; we hope it was not broken. Every

morning mullins, growed over the grounds in his

gard TO the preservation Of their valuable lives and

tlemen TO whom these are but minstering servants;

go very early in the morning as 10 be through with
their toilet and appear IN dress by haipast seven.
