Yesterdays Hot Wave - An Exceed
 tngIy Warm Day-People Overcome
 With the Heat.
 Signal Officer Cox finds that yesterday was the hottest September day hereabouts in any year since 1884. On September 10 of '84 9O' was reached. Yesterday 98' was the highest official figure. On September 7, 1881, was remarkably hot day. The thermometer that day ran up to 1902. In the sun it was much hotter, say 1902.
 Everybody felt the heat of yesterday ex- cept salamanders. It was a good day for dropping work and loaing by the seaside or taking dip in the waves of old Long Island sound.
 The heat was severe upon the men in the foundries.
 Three young ladies were overcome by the heat at Munson's paper box factory, and one went into fit. They were given every attention and were tolerably con- fortable last evening,

Ho! For Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls we'll illustrates the well and the ''Half has not been told"
 All, all earthly scenes pale before the grandeur and sublimity of the Niagara cataract. The actuality of the "infnite energy" here displayed surpasses all eff forts of man to describe and here he must pause. Ten thousand steam fire engines, hurricane and blizzard, Niagara eclipses all. And now the commercial spirit steps in. It seems almost sacrilege to say it, but it all can be seen by Peck's Autumn tour, going next Tuesday by the Housa tonic Niagara train.
