weather. Mobile and other Southern cities
have suffered from the same cause to de-
gree unknown to any former period. The

season Of hot weather and its fatal effects
upon the lives Of many Of the citizens Of
Charleston, says: Certainly the past week
has left mark upon the history Of Charles
ton, which it has never before experienced.
