The weather, yesterday, was black and
murky-quite mild-with manifestations
of rain, and at times light sprinkle of
rain, and an occasional little shower. The
wind, which blew all morning from the
southeast, suddenly chaPped around to the
north, and a sensible change of tempera-
ture was the immediate result. The Off
GERS of the Florence Traber report heavy
rain all night above, and Captain Hall re-
ports rain all day at ShawneetOwn. The
river here had fallen fully four inches
during the twenty four hours ending at
O'Clock yesterday. ...-.
