Seven more days have past into
history since my last. Who can tell
the joys and sorrows that those
seven Gays have brought TO many
of our creatures, that will go un
written, but will never be forgotten
by the interested actors of hfe's
drama.
A fine shower early this morning
but it did not cool the air, on the
contrary the heat is almost un-
barable-but there is a large pros
pect just now tor a heavy storm. |
trust it may materialize into a
copious rain, sufficient to soak the
earth and cool the air.
Mrs. f. S. Tupper is very i'll, of
complicated diseases. / trust the
lady will recover her health at an
early day.
