The WEATHER has been very hot the last few
days. We do not know exactly what Mr.. Fahren-
heit said on the subject, having an innate aver
sim to take counsel of that gentleman, from a
vague and unaccouutable idea that we always feel
heat or cod more intensely after looking at his
meter. Some OF our friends remarked to us that
on Sunday the thermometer was ninety in the
shade at four p NJ, which, if true, is quite re-
spectacle for this time Of year. Under tho opera
tions OF the vertical rays Of the sun at this guage
the slush and mud in King and Broad streets
and East Bay is being rapidly converted into fine,
impalpable duet. The hot nights, we know from
our planting experience, are good for the growing
cotton, though We should not like to base cal
culation as to the extent of the present crop ON
such slender data.
To return to the weather, however. It ia GER
tain}y very hot by day, ard the mosquitoes have
commenced to give their delightful serenades ut
night. Soda water, ice cream and mosquito nets
are the only protection and relief under existing
circumstances.
