CHANGES IN THE WEATHER.-It is very
seldom, indeed, that we have such sudden and
radical changes In the weather as we have SUI
tered during the last week or two. Some Of our
days ana nights have more resembled Novep-
Der than August. During Friday we had cold
rain, and outside the city there was slight
fall OF hail. The changes come so suddenly
that they generally ind us uupreparcd to meet
them, and the consPquen 5e is colds OF all kinds
become very fashionable. The month of Sep
tember is generally very warm one, and we
should all prepare to meet its disyomiOrts, and
TO provide energetic sanitary measures to pre-
vent the spread of the cholera.
AN UGLY CUsToMER.-A man by the
name OF John Cusack got him self into difficulty
last evening out at NicetOwn lane. As he was
walking along dog passed and made q snap at
him, and then ran mp an alley. CusaCk followed
the dog and killed Il. The lady of the house
came out and expostulated with Cusack, when
he iusulted the lady. He then went Off, and soon
returned with hatchetin his hands, and threat
ened to kill the lady. She sent off for Officer
Hause, who succeeded IN arresting him, but not
before he was compelled 10 draw hls revolver

a hearing before Alderman Fields, who held hiua
to answer.

with smashing the glassware and furniture, they
smashed" the proprietor and his wife. They
were arrested, and held by Alderman Clouds in
$500 bail each to answer.
DIsoRDERLY CHARACTER.-John Murphy
is one of these irrepressIble spirits who require
to let off quantity of their superabundant

struck a murderous blow at the officer. He
