MORE WORDS OF CAUTION.

The freezing point of Fahrenheit s
thermometer is 32'. The temperature
here has not yet descended below 380,
and while this has given us a good
frost, it has not been cold enough to
warrant the return of families and the
indiscriminate reoccupancy of resi-
denoes. All now in the city should
be especially careful not to use Sleep
ing rooms until they are thoroughly
fumigated and ventilated. An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
