The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-11-10
1pfal Jnttuigellre.

The WEATHER continues anseasonably warm,
and lie, consequently. unhealthy. Cold in the
head and pneumonia are epidemic. Sunday night
and last right the upper side walks of Canal and
other parallel streets were as wet as II it had been
raining, whist Camp street and ST. Charles. on
both sides, were dry as usual. We believe this is
Orleans. 1t is probably the dry winds from the
northwestern plains spreading down towards the
sea coast and meeting the breezes from the Gulf
Of Mexico surchaeed with moisture. -

a good lesson for the dscontented.
