cases Of yellow fever according to the report OF
the Board of Health in spite Of the intense heat OF
the weather. Yesterday and tte day before we
had refreshing showers, which cooled the air
enough to make the evenings and nights more
pleasant than any we have had for weeks. The
heat continues, however, to be excessive IN The
middle Of the day, rendering exposure to It highly
dangerous, and persons cannot be too cautious
about exposing themselves n the sun more than is
absolutely necessary. Pfikcly heat and boils seem
to be the only real troubles that the " can't get
aways have to contend against Sogeneralis the
first of these Affections, that we think it would be
wise in the Council to follow the example Of the
Duke of Argyle, and erect scratching posts in all
the public places OF resort B0fls are not quite so
common; but still general enough to spoil the
beauty of at least quarter Of the population, for
the time being. Wenotieed quite a ludcrous scene
day or two ago, which the mention OF boils
recalls to our mind. A couple Of Frenchmen were
walking down Chartres street, engaged in very
animated conversation gesticuatng violently, oil
course, according to custom. bluff specimen OF
the genus John Ball, whose forehead was com
pletely covered with large red boils, came up be-
hind them, and, as he appeared to be IN hurry,
attempted to pass; but lust as he got alongside ]'is
forehead came in contact with the violently out
stretched hand of one Of the Gaus, and the CON
cussion was tremendous. For few moments
nothing could be heard but groans, curses and
| apologize exclamations, amid which we could
only catch just such expressions as blost yer
| highs p won't you look hout where you put yer
ands!" from Johnny Bull, and pardon, Mon
sieur,'' etc, from the Frenchman. The appear
ance of the Engshman was dreadful: his face was
covered with blood in an instant and we are Of
opinion that he would have cleaned out the French
man completely in short order. if his eyes had not
been so blinded by blood that their exact positions
were doubtful. We left them in the midst of an
animated debate, fearing # we remained longer
that laughter, which was getting beyond our CON
troll would burst FORTH and get lis into scrape.
As there was no mention of the matter in the police
reports of that day, we presume was amicabiy
arranged.
Dull TINES. Saturday and yesterday were
among the dullest days we ever recollect having
passed, since it has pleased Providence to unite
our fate with the local column of newspaper. II
the Recorders Courts and Coroner's office, those
great centers of attraction, there was nothing o
the next thing to it; the streets were equally bar
rem, and we were forced to roam around bearing
countenance which. for hopeessness and discon
