The fierce storm Of Tuesday night
modified the heat considerably, and
yesterday was right pleasant, with
strong, cool, and refreshing breeze
from the southeast-pure, invigorat-
ing air. The river continues to de-
cline rapidly, having fallen fully
thirty inches during the etwenty-four

probable that the rain of Tuesday
night may check the decline to some
extent.
