The WEATHER The rainy weather of the
past few days was brought to close yesterday
evening and last night by furious storm of
rain and wind, the wind being from the north
west and lasting until after ten o'clock, and
during its continuance prostratiug many tele-
gragh poles and fences in and near the city,
blowing the tin cutters from the roofs of houses
among them that from the house on the
northeast corner of Prince and Washington
streets-and doing osher damages, among
them blowing down the large framed shed at
the lime kiln Of Mr.. James Green, near the
southern end of Lee street, and blowing out
the glass from many of the street lamps. The
weather to day has been that of spring, and
many persons have been out on the streets en-
loving it.

DlscHARGED.-The two young men arrested
night before last, and locked up In the station
house, on suspicion of having attempted to set
fire to the ice house OF Mr.. Makeley. on the
night of the ed iust, but who were afterwards
released on bail, had hearing before the
Mayor, this morning. and were discharged, as
90 evidence was educed that eliminated them.
The Mayors Office was packed by interested
spectators during the examination. The Com
mouwealth was represented by its Attorney,
J. NJ johnson, aud the defendants by their
counsel, D. l. Smoot. The witnesses examin-
ed we're Chief Engineer Leadbeater of the fire
department, Messrs. A. G. Uhler, A. &.
Thorntoo, and w. Makeley; Joseph Young
and Thomas Dix, engineer and driver Of the
steam fire engine Hydraullou; and Captain
Webster and officers Purcell, Ogden, Hepburn,
Arnold and Travers of the police force. An
attempt was made to fire the ice house alluded
to on the designated night, and that it was not
successful was due to the fact that the fire was
kudIed too high up on the steps, and burnt
away from instead of towards the combustible
oil with which these steps had been saturated.
Had it been successful it would doubtless have
caused considerable damage, for the fired build
Ing was surrounded on all sides by the most
combustible material.

SUFFERING "Speak I'll 60 no farther. y
1t is the gift of language to man that marks the
most prominent characteristic of the human as
contra distinguished from the brute creatlon.
To be able to communicate With one another
aud 10 social converse; to give expression to
our teeliogs aud sentiments, and interchange
ideas is next to the power of reason, the
greatest attribute Of man. None but those who
have lost this attribute or suffer from limited
exercise of its function can properly appreciate
the blessings it's enjoyment affords and they
will no doubt read with profound qualification
the card of Mr.. Robert +. Knox to be found
elsewhere, who proposes to relieve those who
are vexatiously affected with an impeachment of
speech. Cases are recorded of people having
been called from their fields to the government
of countriess and there are numerous instances
10 which warriors have converted their swords
into plow shares, but never before has gallant
soldier, devoted his life to the aDelioration OF
the physical dstresses of his fellow citizens,
ami gone to curing sufferers.
