Last Thursday evening a jolly party

HOT SPELL WAS BROKEN.
Gave the Citizens of this Town a Temper
AIRY Relief on Sunday Evening.

1t was thought that the six or seven
hct days the past week, when the
thermometer climed up to 100 degrees
in the shade, ended with the rain that
came Sunday evening, but it was only
temporary, as would appear from the
warm weather Of yesterday, though
not so fiery as last week.
That the change was only temporary
and local, was manifest by the differ
ence in its time of visitation. At New
York the change came about one
o'clock Sunday, with a big blow, at
Ocean Grove the change came about
two o'clock with dust storm and fall
of thirty degrees in temperature, but
no rain until $50 o'clock in the even
ing. At Atlantic City it was intensely
hot, up to 100 degrees until night, and
at Smyrna there was little or no change
in the temperature until the rain came
about 8 o'clock. The shower or show
ers covered the most of New Jersey,
but from Philadelphia to Greenspring,
there seems to have been little or no
rain along the railroad, and the crops
are showing the effects of the heat, and
drought. As near us as Kenton there
was no rain. In several places IL
lower Kent and Sussex counties the
storm of wind and rain seems to have
been heavy Sunday night.
