The quotation is not found in the song called

written in 1857 by Rev. III. d. L. Webster,

March wind August.

The wind was very high in Richmond
all during the day yesterday. Some Of
our oldest residents and those who are
we'll advised as TO our weather record for
many years back through personal OBJ
servatlon were heard to say in the eve
ming that the day was the most remarka-
bic one that they had ever seen that
they had mover seen the wind at this sea
son Of the year continue at such great
velocity all day long as was yesterday
experienced. Wind-storms Of short du-
ration are comparatively frequent
here during the spring and summer,
but such as that which occurred yester-
day snd continued during the day and
undated through the night is without
precedent in the memory OF many OF the
older citizens. Although the wind WAS
blowing such gale the thermometer at
p. NJ. reached 90 and the mean tenn
perature from A. NJ. to midnight was
S35'.
Whenever there was a lull during the
day the heat was very oppressive and the
air close and torrid SO for rs could be
learned last night the wind did no dam
age hereabouts further than TO blow a
great number of limbs off trees. The
weather reminded one much more OF
March than Of August.

The Washington people are very much
wrought up on this matter OF overhead

1t seems that the system is about to be
thrust upon the Washington people
greatly against their wishes, anu that
neither they nor the Engineer Comnis-
sion of the District of Columbia can do
ANYTHING in the premises, Congress
having taken such action as to praetl-
cauy prevent the commission from inter-
fering with companies that have received
their charters from Congress.
The following is taken from a long
article on that subject which appeared IN
the Post.
Engineer Commissioner Raymond
said that he was opposed to the overhead
system OF electric wires and did not favor
its extension at all. Since his appoint

not authorized by an act OF Congress.
