THE WEATHER is unpleasant; for notwith-
standing the rain which all anticipated would
work miracles of GOODNESS, the thermometer
runs up with its accustomed pertinRcity; the
air is sultry; the people perspire; and lowering
clouds are not st all welcome. AS might be
expected, but few, and only those by urgent
necessity ventured ont last night The streets
were deserted by all but the indefattgable
street cars, that plough along through rain and
snow alike. The falling drops kept up their
unabated violence through the night, worrying
luckless wights within, trying to go TO sleep,
and causing energetic and spasmodlc ebulltions
of wrath from those without; for did they look
up, a mimic stream would percolate between
their shoulder blades or did they look down,
shirt bosoms and collars alike were satu-
rated. To the rain we attribute the scantiness
of our police reports, observable, no doubt, by
all our readers.

route, and found everything favor
able. The India Rubber, Gutta
Percha and Telegraph Works, in
London, contract not only to con-
struct the cable, but to lay it down,
and guarantees it's successful opera
ton for fifteen days. The cable has
been fully tested, and its insulation
is pronounced remarkably good. The
construction is considered an i'm
provement on any previously made.
The rates charged will be ten dollars
for the first twenty words, including
the address and signature. The COM
