pleasant, and breezy and cool. a haze and some
clouds yesterday seemed to prognostcate change;
but it had not come along at night The thermometer
last week told curious story. Several nights at
midnight, the temperature was several degrees
warmer than at midday, though the latter 5asked in
a clear, unobstruced sun. At daylight the GOODNESS
has been greatest, blankets and wooden clothing being
decidedly comfortable. The coolness and general
pIeasantness Of the weather has had no beneficial
effect on the fever, SO far; that's certain.
The FEyBR-The Board of Health report the
mortality by yellow fever throughout the city for
the twenty-four hours ending Friday noon, at 81
and for the twentyfour hours ending Saturday noon
"a. This makes total from the beginning Of the
week Of 429; the week not being finished by eighteen
hours-fr0m Saturday noon to o'clock Sunday
morning. The total mortality by the fever the week
before was Az. Making a fair allowance for the
eighteen hours Of the last week not reported, the
mortality By the epidemic will equal that Of the pre-
yons week. It will thus be that up to yesterday
there was nothing to indicate decline of the fever
THE WEEKLY MIRRoR.-We perceive that our late
c0nfrere of the Picayune Mr. Mark F. Bigney, has
taken the chief editorship of the Weekly Mirror,
very handsome and readable literary paper, char
acterized by taste in all its getting up, and ability
and spirit in its original articles and contributions.
1t is published at No 81 St. Charles street. by Messrs
j. Il. Wilson Co., practical printers ALL who have
started in business for themselves, and bid fair to
succeed. Brother Macmanus, Of local writing expe-
rience about town, is one Of the firm With the ac-
cesson Of Mr. Bigney, the Mirror will reflect credit
upon all concerned It is in reality fine family pa
per- far preferable to the great mass of plashy and
the North and we cheerfuly recommend it to our
friends in town and country.
a CoHpLmENr.-We met a friend on Saturday
who told US that our little squib on economy, pub
lished the day before, was the best thing we ever
wrote for, as he asserted it had put him in the way
of making his fortune. He said he got up in the
morning distracted with two aching teeth, and
having dollar in his pocket determined to 60 to a
dentist and have his achers pulled about dollars
worth but on the way, he got hold of the Crescent
and upon seeing the piece about economy was struck
by an idea, He returned home, pulled his teeth him
self with pair of bullctmoulds recovered his peace
Of mind, and saved his dollar. Opening bis potato
trap, he showed US the melancholy gaps where tile
teeth had been. He performed the operation so
neatly and beautifully he said that he intended
taking few lessons in tooth pulling and sticking up
his shingle as Il dentist.
The LATE DCEL.--We are pleased to learn that the
difficulty between Messrs. Brabazon and Wood -
which was left unsettled on the field on Friday morn
ing, after an exchange of three shots-has been amic
ably adjusted on terms honorable and satisfactory to
both parties This is as it should be.
CRltEGT.-We learn that the proposal, recently
published to organize a Cricket CLUB in this city,
hoo lt,.1t,
men who own to a weakness for exercises Of manly
strength and agility and that Club has been or
ganized' We hope to hear Of the Club being ready
To take to the field before great while.
