Yesterday was the hottest of the
season, the intense heat only being a
little mitigated by light breeze from
the southeast. Until after three
o'clock the weather was perfectly
clear, and at one O'Clock P. NJ. the
mercury in front of the JOURNAL
office, in the shade, stood at 99o, and
at no time between 9 A. NJ. and 6 M.
was it below 96o. About 6 p. N. a
light rain fell, but it scarcely modified
the intense heat. At night it was
again perfectly clear, and dead calm
prevailed, rendering the air very close
and oppressive. The river up to six
O'Clock last evening had. fallen ten
inches. Another considerable rise is
coming from Pittsburg, where there
was over eight feet In the channel on
Saturday. This is very discouraging
to owners of light draughts. Their
time will, however, come before
Christmas. -
