and pleasant, saving the dust The nights are de-
lightful and the comet bright and fascinating as
ever.
THE FEVER RETURNS yesterday looked little en-
couraging that is, as if the fever had really COM
menced declining. The Board of Health reported 50
al the total number of deaths for the twenty-four
hours ending Wednesday noon-a decrease Of Z from
the previous day, which showed decrease from the
day before that. The decrease has been slow but
steady for four or five days.
THE NUMBER on OUR HoUsE,-Mr. Walsh, the con
tractor for numbering houses, having made it all
right with us, the other day, in going back and put
ting number on our house, which he did not do at
fr8t-as we related day Or two suce-now desires
US to make it all right with him; which we will do
with pleasure.
We live in of a row of three houses, close to.
gether The other two houses were numbered at
first, and ours not. When we complained of the
matter, Mr. Walsh went back and moved the two
numbers so as to give US one, and leave one of the
other houses unnumbered. He explains that this was
no mistake of his, thus:
His contract is to put up number for every "a feet
of front measurement for which purpose he carries
"a foot pole and piece of chalk making the measure
ment on the banquette. He has margin of feet,
on each side Of each chalk.mark in which to put up
the number corresponding to each said mark. It
happened that the three houses, in one of which we
live, displayed front Of only so feet-acking u
feet Of the space entitled to three numbers In this
case, therefore, as well as in great many others Mr.
W. had to divide two numbers between three houses
and leave one of the three out at random.
1t was, therefore, not to rectify a mistake, but
purely to oblige US, that Mr.. Walsh went back and
shifted the two numbers the three houses so as to
give our house one of them, The matter being ex-
planned to us in this way feel bound to explain it
to the public after having rather made fun Of the
thing in the first place.
Mr.. Walsh is going ahead with his numbering, rap
idly and is compelled as we have since learned to
skip great many houses, which, by the narroWness
of the adjoining ones cannot receivea number under
the Surveyors orders.
THE PHGHIx IN New FEATHERS The new
Phoenix is about to rise from the ashes of the DID, on
ST. Charles street. The cofeehouse and restaurat
have been fixed off splendidly, and as for the new
enpn alleys they are altogether splendid-the finest
yet opened in the South-beautol to look at, as
painted picture. BidwelI has been throwing himself
this summer. The new Phoenix opens in a day or
two.
