this morning, but there is pretty stiff breeze
blowing from the west, which tempers the in

what more bearable than on previous days.
| There is more animation and hustle on the
| street this morning-more people moving about |
| and more business doing. There is also |
feeling of relief among all classes, the greatly
| diminished death rate yesterday inducing a |
| belief that the worst is over, and from this |
time on, although the weather may continue
very warm, as it PROBABLY will, the effects will
be less severe and that all may return to their
usual occupations and habits without any
great danger.
