WEATHER, ETo-We are having most delightful
weather this month; rather hot, perhaps, but not
more 80 than is usual at this season. The nights
are cool and refreshing, inviting tired natures
sweet restorer; always provided, however, you
have taken the necessary precautions to secure
immunity from the attacks Of the sanguinary
mosquito host. We have had an abundance of
rain during the past few weeks laying the dust in
the city, and stimulating vegetation in the coun-
try. The health Of the city, as far as we are in
formed is very good at this time; no special type
OF disease prevailing, and the doctors complaining
Of having nothing to do. Altogether, We have
every reason to be thankful for the blessings q
kind Providence has thus bestowed upon us.
THE FIRE yesterday morning was near the cor
ner of John and Elizabeth streets, in hay and
grain store on Elizabeth street. It was first no.
ticed about two o'clock, when the alarm was given
and MIR. MonAN's family awakened ito whom this
store belonged) The roof of Mr.. MS house
caught several times in the course of the morning
but the fire was always promptly e1tinguished by
the firemen, who had gone out on the roof The
grain store WAS entirely consumed, though it was
built of brick. Owing to the great scarcity O.
water, the Fire Department had great diffiulty tt
master the fames and the engines worked ava,
from little after two O'Clock till daylight. MIR
MORAN had just received fresh cargo of feed aut
grain few days ago; was partially insured at the
Agency Of Messrs. TUPPER & LANE, for $1,000 or
house and $4,000 on the stock.
The fire was undoubtedly the work Of an incen.
diary. Mr.. MORAN had his kitchen burned in a
similar manner about three months ago. If our
police is inadequate to protect citizens against the
fendish work of the midnight incendiary, We are
certainly in favor Of having the force increased
e. if there is reasonable expectation that such
increase Of the police will afford us greater secu
rity Of life and property.
