Mn. EDyToR We used to have
clerk here, Mr.. L. Merriam Ct Brooklyn
Heights, who took excellent care Of the
weath,r, and reported every days chan
ges, ii there were auy; or every week,
whether or no; but | learn he "took
sick last year from exposure to his own
weather, and has not been able to attend
to the duties of his Office since. During
the month Of May, as the rain deluged
down day after day, l INDUCED the hope
that somebody was looking after the
weather, at least enough to get up sta
tistic as to whether it did rain every one
Of the last thirty one days Of what seem
ed likely to be all too literally an eternal
spring. 1t is my impression that it did,
but l wouldn't by any means offer my
mere Impressions against tie uuerring
observations Of science. Ii there was
one day when it didn't rain, why at all
events, as the long suffering Mrs. Candle
used to say, it wanted to, and that is
just as bad" If l should sec barome-
trical statement anywhere that could be
relied on, giving assurance that there was
one day in that merry month that was
not watered with the tears of the weep
ing clouds | will Immediately inform you.
June, however, opens warm and bright
that is compensation.
The oldest inhabitants here have been
greatly annoyed and broken Of their rest
now for two Sunday mornings on account
of very singular aud unexpected cause
of disturbance-no less than the crum-
bic, and crash and dissolution of very
venerable New York institution, one of
the oldest established, SO that the memo
ry of man runueth not back to the time
when it did not flourish and make itself
heard in the land. Thorough bred New
Workers had long been accustomed to the
extra noise and roar aud rattle of every
seventh morning, and had come to re-
ceivc as specially soothing lullaby the
yells of milkmen aud the cries Of cho-
rus Of newsboys, melodizel and monula-
ted on every key of the scale, in delight
full accord with the invariable refrain;
-''ere's the Sunday Erald, Times, Mer-
curry, Dispatch and Sunday Courie-e-e-er!!"

But fortnight since paper comman-

milk or its swill distilled imitation
should cease Immediately and also, if the
aforesaid swill was not a sufficient gag In
their mouths, one, more eiiectual still,
should be applied to all the news boys,
for the purpose of stopping all this win

the consequent quietness, expressive ST.
lencc aad Sabbath stiffness have opera
ted upon Sunday morning snoozers, like
the sudden stopping of saw mill, or an
express train ut its night stations-to
wake up all the sleepers. We expect,
however, to recover very soon from the
sonorous abstraction and be able to take
deeper refuge than ever in our Sunday
morning nap-caps; unless, it NAV be,
few must be excepted who have become
50 accustomed to the lulling stlmulant as
10 be thrown into sort of tfeiigiapa
dreameas. But even they will recover
and sleep the better in time The effect
on the Sunday papers themselves remains
to be seen. Some of them are character
istically beiiiserent; but the Despatch,

its edition on Saturday afternoon
The celebrated Barnum is on his legs
again The Jerome clock debts which |
wound him up 50 etfeetaally two or three
years ago. Eaye now run down aud the
hour has struck which starts him out
on new career Of speculation and
tick. The best business he ever did in |
the Snowman line was his concert expe- |
dition shro' the L. s with Jenny Lind
SO now his first post bankrupt enterprise |
takes musical turn, and he proposes to |
bring to New York next fall the entire |
Grand Opera and Ballet companies of
her Majesty's Theater, London, consisting
of l4s persons, accompanied by its cele- |
brated lessee and director, Mr.. Lumley. |
The enterprise involves an outlay of
more than $500 900, and as some guar |
autee that sufficient patronage will be ex-
tended to him to ensure him against loss
the subscriptions for SUO seats, at 500 |
per seat for twenty nights are opened at
once and will close on the 10th of June.
| understand that more than half the |
seats have been taken already so no |
doubt we will have an opportunity to see
aud hear the same Royal Opera which so |
delights her Majesty Of England, and |
pant with three quarters or million
Of our dollars in payment for the luxu-
ry.

Of Health, whirlcd away up town in cor
poration carriages one day last week on a
visit to the distillery stables. This
movement c4rlcs rather late, since the
public exposure of every dealer and pur
chaser had pretty much put stop to the
traffic, and the proprietors had killed and
sold of the weakest of the cows, de-
the worst portion of the stables
