The Republican Convention.
Never licfore had the Republicans of Nor
thumberland couuty cause to feel more
pride in their ticket than they have in the
ticket formed on Tuesday last The Con
vention was full, and it was composed of
of intelligent men who felt an interest iu
the success of the parly as well as iu the se
lection of good men as public servants even
more so. than at any convention ever held
before. Its deliberations were of the most
harmonious character, and the most en
thusiastic feeling was exhibited. Every
delegate felt the importance of selecting
men that will keep uptlw reputation of the
'leublican party by a strict adherence to
d ry if elected such as will fully carry
ou what has been commenced by the Re-puW-can
officers of the couuty, an honest
and judicious expenditure of the public
monies. To eftect Ibis, men of irreproach
able character must be selected. In this
the delegates had an easy task to perform,
as all the candidates offered were men who
could be trusted in any position, and
consequently the selections of the conven
tion give feitisfactiou to the entire Repub
lican part To-day we can truly assert
that the part? is more united than in any
previous campaign ; and with the popular
ticket nomiuatec. wjH carry the county be
youd a question.
The ticket is healed by Hon. John B.
Packer for Congress, v the uuanimous vote
of the convention. M- Packer is so well
and favorably kuowu tothe people of this
county and the district, thit we do not deem
it necessary to say much it regard to him.
His public career is unblemihcd,and noth
ing can be said detrimental tohis character,
public or private. His friend: in the oppo
site party as well as in his own, are many.
He is more truly, perhaps, the candidate
of the people than any man that has yet
beeu on any ticket of cither party. He has
been tried in public as well as -private life,
and has gained the confidence of the mas
ses whose interests he watches with care
and assiduity. Iu the councils of the na
lion he ha always been found to labor for
the interests of the laboring classes, through
which he lias gained a national reputation,
and which gives him position and influence
advantageous to the interests of the people of
his district. That be will receive the nomi
nation of the district, and that his election
will be secured by a large mnjority, is be
yond question. There is yet trouble in
many of the Southern States. Southern
disloyalty is not yet entirely extinct, as is
apparent through the late troubles in Loui
siana, and we need men iu Congress who
have broad and intelligent views of the sit
uation, and who will act in harmony with
the defenders of onr free institutions. It is
not the interest of any particular party to
on represented in congress Dy such men as
Mr. Packer, but the interests of the whole
people demand it at the present time.
The candidates for Assembly, Dr. J. J
John, of Sbamokin, aLd John I. Parker, of
McEwcnsville, are both gentlemen of more
than ordinaty intelligence, and their iute
grit y of character is unquestionable. Dr,
John Las resided in the coal region during
his whole life where he lias been interested
in the chief interests of that section, coal
and iron, and has made the wants of the
miner, and those of the laboring class, a
study.. Being a working man himself all
liis life, lie will understand their interests
and those of the region, better than any
man that could have been selected. He is
a man of ability, and will make a rcpresen
tative of whom the county may well be
proud.
Mr. Parker was reared on a farm in the
upper end of the couuty, where he resided
until lie became of suflleient age to learn a
trade when he learned that of wheelwright.
lie is an excellent mechanic, and followed
the business for some years when he again
resumed farming. As a business man he
has few superiors, and stands Ligh in the
estimation of his neighbors, both Demo
crats and Republicans. By Lis election
the farmer and mechanic have an able ex
ponent of their interests in our Legislative
Halls.
For District Attorney Gen. J no. Kay
Clement was renominated. All who have
attended our criminal courts well know
that by bis efficiency and promptness, bu
siness has been greatly expedited, and mo
ney saved the county. He his always
been found prompt in the performance of
Lis duty to the Comnionwer.lth. By bis
ability as a lawyer he has been most sue
cec-sful iu the performance of uis official du
ties, and as a gentleman he is always found
to be courteous to all iu his private and
official relations.
Amos Yastine, Esq., was renominated
for County Commissioner. When Mr,
Yastine assumed the duties of this office,
three years ago, it is well knowu that the
finances of the couuty were in a deplorable
condition. The county was indebted some
thirty thousand dollars. The money of
the lax-payer was squandered, aud the offi
ces within the court house were in many
respects denounced as a uuisauce by mem
bers of both parties. After Mr. Yastine
entered upon his duties, a change for the
better was apparent, and was soon so great
that it was noticed by every oue. Since
his administration commenced the tax
payer lias no doubt felt how important it is
to place men of integrity iu office. By care
and economy, or in other words honest ma
nagement, the county debt was wiped out,
the taxes have been reduced several mills
on the dollar, and the offices are in a better
condition than they hare been for a num
ber of years. With such a record the peo
pl of the county will exclaim "well done
thou good and faithful servant," and will
elect him U ervn anothor year.
Under the caption of 'Our Candidates,'
our neighbor of the Jhiuocrat, last week,
attempts to bolster up character for the
Democratic nominees. He does not deny
that Sherwood is a carpet-bagger ; and
while be is constantly crying "carpet-baggers,"
as a reproach to the Republican par
ly, iu this case he does not show the least
symptoms of fright at the sight of a carpet
bag in the ranks of the immaculate Demo
cracy. Ho says such charges "fall harm
less at the feet of such men as Sherwood
and Withiugton." As to Mr. Withington
we have never charged him of being a carpet-bagger.
We have only known him
since the celebrated conference at North
umberland, when Charles R. Buckalew
was nominated in a mysterious manner
over Thomas Chalfant for the State Senate,
and, according to the Der,ix-rat, that oc
cur! ed about the time Sherwood left Tioga
editor must certainly believe that there has
been no one reared iu this county, belong
iug to the Democracy who is fit lo repre
sent this district in the Legislature. He
also complains that the offices are being
multiplied. This, we should judge, would
suit the Democracy, for there are certainly
not enough county offices to supply all in
the county who are begging for office in the
Democratic ranks ; and if Democratic office
hunters from other counties are to be fur
nished with office in this county, there will
have to be a further increase. The sala
ries arc being doubled too, says our neigh
bor. This, if correct, should not be a
cause of complaint from him, as he knows j at a t ime with apparent ease.
For Auditor, R. C. Ruckman, of Lewis,
township, was nominated. Mr. R. is an
excellent accountant, and highly esteemed
by men of both parties as a man of inte
grity. For County Surveyor, David Rockefeller,
Esq., of Sunbury, received the nomination
by acclamation. Mr. 11. is one of the old
est as well as one of the best aud most ex
perienced surveyors in the State, and a
gentleman strictly correct iu all his busi
ness relations. As he is favorably kuowu
to almost every citizen of the county, we
can say nothing more to secure his election,
which is morally certain.
We inadvertantly overlooked a contro
versy between the editors of the Miltonian,
Gazette aud Democrat in reference to the
price ol advertising the ShcrifTs sales. It
appears that the editor of the Democrat
now pretends to be willing to confine the
Sheriffs sales to one or two papers, and
alleges that the costs come too high to pub
lish in so many. Whether our neighbor is
siucere iu the matter is questionable. We
kuow very well that when be had the Slie
rifTs advertising he found no objection to
charging an exhorbitant price about one
third higher than his rates published at the
head of bis paper. Iu reply to the Pluto
nian he says :
"We were informed by the editor of the
Atutriwn, shortly after the election of the
present Republican Sheriff, that he was
willing to reduce the prices for advertising
Sheriffs sales one-third, but that the editor
of the Miltonian protested against it. How
is that for high 1"
The truth of the matter is, that when the
present shetiff was elected, we told him
that the editor of the D( nun-rut had regu
lated the price of the sheriffs advertising
ten cents above his usual rates ; that we
did not believe iu extortionate prices, espe
cially when imposed upon the distressed,
the costs coming from the parties whose
propt rty is sold, and not from the officer ;
that our rates were 2l cents per line for
three insertions, beiug ten cents less than
the Democrat charged. The Sheriff then
took our rates as the regulating price.
When the bills of the Mil tonkin and Gaztttc
were presented they had charged according
to the former prices of the lemorat. The
Sheriff reduced their bills lo correspond
with ours. Perhaps the editors of those
papers did not like it, but they readily
acquiesced in our suggestion. But what
most astonished us was that the editor of
the Democrat, who was not concerned in
the transaction, also complained to us
about the reduction, saving that we were
foolish ; that we might have charged the
same as he had done, aud no one would
have known any better, aud desired us to
return to the prices he had established.
We replied that we would not charge more
than our rates, 20 cents per line, as we con
sidered it an imposition upon those whoe
distressed condition should be taken into
consideration.
If the editor of the Democrat is sincere
in the controversy to which we refer, he
certainly would not have asked us to raise
the price after we had reduced it. But we
believe, as does the Miltonian, that he
thought then that he would probably get
the advertising again, and have the same
fat job he had before.
To show the inconsistency of our neigh
bor as regards prices for advertising, &c
for the county offices, we allow any one to
examine for themselves, and they will find
that our prices have averaged, thus far,one
third less than his were when lie did the
county printing.
In 187.1 the Auditor's Report was pub
lished in this, paper and the Miltonian, and
the charges for each paper was 24.
This year the Commissioners saw proper
to pivfi the aHvriJf ff'xtftte and
Democrat who charged the county $112
each, a difference of if 109 52 from 173.
The Commissioners at first refused to pay
the bill, but through the persistence of our
neighbors they received the amount of
their bills. If the editor of the Democrat
had not complained about the costs after
chareing one-third more than is charged
now, and still persists in his extortions
whenever he gets a chance at the county,
he might now be thought to be sincere in
Lis profession of mercy to the unfortunate
whose property comes under the Sheriffs
hammer. We cannot believe in his since'
rity tinder the circumstances ; and we be
lievo that were Lis party to get into power
again, he would be the last to urge a reduc
tion, and the first to recommend the esta
blishment of former prices. The charges for
the county advertising in this paper and the Hon. Charles Hays, a representative in
Miltonian have been one-third less than Congress from Alabama, having expressed
those of that of any other paper in the conn- himself, iu a letter to a friend, sadly disap-
ty, and if our neighbor is sincere, we would pointed in the hope that "the reign of tcr-

A terrible storm swept over Davenport
and Dubuque, Iowa, on Friday night. A
large amount of property was destroyed.
During the storm a freight train ou the

and the engineer and fireman fatally iu

Win. Raskin, of Halifax, upper end of

help attempted to check it with pails of
water ; but the folly of this was early ap
parent, for in less than three minutes the
whole end of the building was burning, and
forks of flame aud clouds of smoke were
forcing their way through the doors and
windows.
Tho door leading out u the tower stair
case had been closed, in order to prevent a
pauic and keep the help back, but it was
found the lire had gained such headway
that it was impossible to subdue the flames.
The retreat of the girl operatives being cut
off, the -shrieks fiom the frightened aud
half-crazed creatures at the blazing llames
were heartrending. They rushed together
in a body for the fire escapes ; but volumes
of smoke pour3 into the room, where, to
their horror, there were no means of es
cape ; and quite a number in the meantime
had fainted away, while others jumped
from the windows and were picked up,
some with limbs mangled, others bleeding
profusely and dying.
HORRIFYING SCENES.
The excitement was terrible men, wo
men and children running through the
streets in a half-crazed mauner, many be
ing not more than half-clad. Not until
after the flames had gained great headway
was the alarm sounded. At that time the
flames were pouring out of the lower win
dows. The attic or spool room contained
from fifty to seventy-five young girls, and
the first thing they knew of the presence of
the approaching'fire was a dense, suffocat
ing volume of smoke. Of course this pro-
very well from past experience, that it is
better to establish reasonable salaries than
have them deficient in amount, thereby in
ducing dishonesty. Let our neighbor look
back a few years when the Ring was in
power, and contrast that time with the pre
sent. The voters, no doubt, understand
by the reduction in their taxes that the
"misrule" spoken of by our neighbor is not
altogether the clean thing ; and it is well
known that he gives circulation to misre
presentations to subserve j arty interests.
The editor of the Democrat should know
better than to make assertions reflecting
upon his own partisans, by presuming
them too ignorant to penetrate the misre
presentation that the county finances were
in better condition under the Ring than
they are at present.

The Bloomsburg Columbian, a Demo

"Of all counties iu the State for corrupt

a Democratic county convention that met
at Scranton was compelled to adjourn to
Wilkes-Barre without making nominations
because the rowdies not members would not
permit business to proceed. The latter the
next day held a rump convention of their
own, presided over by a fellow just outside

The President this afternoon sent the
following telegram to Governor Brown, of
Tennessee :
Executive Mansion, Sept. 1., ls7 1.
Hon. John C. Ihmr,, i'orrrnor, Xoslirilh,
Tennessee.
Sir Your dispatch of yesteday Las been
received and referred to the United States
District Attorney for the Western district
of Tennessee for a report. As there is now
no official information of his proceedings
here, when his report is received I will give
you a more deflnite answer, or have tbe
Attorney General do so. I will state, how
ever, that it is very gratifying to know that
the State authorities of Tennessee are
disposed to suppress and punish a class of
lawless acta so dangerous to life and so op
posed to every political, financial and moral
iuterest of the State.
But the Constitution makes, it my duty
to enforce tha acts of Congress, and Con
gress has passed laws giving tbe United
States jurisdiction in such cases as are re
ferred to in your dispatch. No special or
der has been given to the Federal officials
in Tennessee further than the circular of
September 3 of the Attorney General, which
is general in its nature, and constitutes in
structions to all marshals and district at
torneys, whenever violations of said acts
may occur. I will add that the State and
general governments, as you are well aware,
may have concurrent jurisdiction over tho
same offense, as, for example, in cases of
counterfeiting, and the action of the State
authorities in such cases does not prevent
tbe General Government, from proceeding
against the offenders. U. S. Grant.

Senator Brownlow has sent the following
letter to Governor Brown :
Knoxville, Sept. 1!), 1874.
My Dear Sir I cannot refrain from
expressing ray thanks for the energetic
steps you are taking for the preservation of
peace and the apprehensiou and punish
ment of the assassins who have so much
outraged humanity and discredited the
State. The promptness with which j-ou
have acted vindicates you from any impu
tation of acting under federal constraint or
want of earnestness. I hope your efforts
may soon be crowned by tbe full vindica
tion of the law. Yery respectfully,

But on Tuesday it became generally known
that the Committee had beeu broken up and

shrewder business men view it in its pro

for one year or two, alone, but as long as
they continue iu business. Nor are they
ever mistaken iu this calculation. No in
vestment a business man cau make will
pay as certainly and largely as the money
paid for advertising in a newspaper of large
and good circulation. It geneeally yields,
when judiciously used, from 100 to 1,000
per cent. This is the testimony of all who
have thoroughly tested tbe principle. The

The Full Itiver Traselj.
Fall River, Mass., Sept. 10. One of
those fearful calamities which shocks and
saddens a community beyond the power of
expression has visited the industrial city
of Fall River to-day. Besides a fire of
colossal proportions, involving a heavy loss
of property, there is added the terrible re
cord of twenty or more human lives among
the sacrifices ; many have been maimed
and injured beyond recovery, others hope
lessly crippled for life. The story of the
fire and its consequences is a brief and
simple one, but the event has casta mantle
of gloom and sorrow over the community
which no brief time will obliterate. It was
about seven o'clock this morning when the
fire alarm bells indicated that there was a
conflagration iu the manufacturing section
of the city, and, of course, there was more
than ordinary excitement among the citi
zens. It was soon learned that the large
Granite Mill, No. 1, was iu flames, and the
wild and painful rumors followed that
nearly all of the four hundred operatives
employed thero were being literally roasted j
alive. Everywhere there was the wildest
terror and excitement, and it seemed as if
the whole community was paralyzed with
grief and insanity.
AT THE BURNING MILL.
It was but a few moments before the
wildest stories were circulated in the other
mill, and almost simultaneously work was
suspended, and the frenzied operatives
gathered around the fated factory. It was
soon euveloped in flames from oue end to
the other, and its almost entire and speedy
destruction was at once a foregone conclu
sion. The stoiy, as told by those who werc in
the room, is to the effect that the fire originat
ed from heat, occasioned by the friction of
some machinery which was not properly
oiled. It caught in the fourth story, near
a large tower, in the centre of the mammoth
building. When first seen some of the

orders were issued to suspend work, and
the bands thus released were marshaled by
the overseers aud went to do what good
they could to the unfortunate girls iu the
Granite Mills, and there services were appreciated.
It is reported that the walls of mill No,
1 will have to come down, as the heat was
so great that the granite, of which the
building was constructed, had cracked aud
become soft.

ALL QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS.
Washington, Sept. 19. The following
was received here this afternoon :
Headquarters Department ok the
Gulf, New Orleans, Sept. 19, 1874.
To the Adjutant-General United States
Army, Washington : Last night, by re
quest of Governor Kellogg, the city was
placed in my charge. All was quiet this
morning. Governor Kellogg occupied tho
State House, aud resumed his gubernator-
al functions to-day.
V . II. Emory,
Brevet Major-General Commanding.
Governor Kellogg and such other Slate
officers as are now in this city weut down
to tbe State House at ten o'clock A. M.
to-day, and the military authorities for
mally delivered up the building to them
and furnished a military guard. The Se
cretary of State, Speaker of the House,
Lieutenant-Governor and Attorney-General
are somewhere in the North, aud it is
understood Governor Kellogg has tele
graphed for them to come back at once.
He has also telegraphed to members of
Congress, who are all absent from the State,
except Congressman Smith, requestiug
them to return at once to their respective
constituencies. Governor Kellogg yester
day sent the following to Congressman
Sypher and Senator West :
"I see by Western
papers that you
severely criticised my leaving the State
House. I left it on Monday at the earnest
solicitation of all our friends. The Lieutenant-Governor
and Speaker of the House
being absent from the State, aud accidout
lo me, they felt, would have made compli
cations desperate. Ihere were none but
colored militia iu the Slate House, aud had
they made any resistance they would have
been burned out and massacred, the build
ing oeing entirely lnueieusime. II our
friends will come here and help us we will
be very glad."
It is understood that of the GOO metropo
litans on duty last Monday only 2."0 could
be mustered to-dav to relieve Bovlan's
men. The Kellogg men offered a compro
mise to allow Bovlan to remain as chief of
police, but he declined the position unless
the control of the force was committed to
the city.
When Governor Kellogg reached the ex
ecutive office this morning General Brooke
approached the Governor and informed him
that he was prepared to turn over to him
the State House and all tbe records and
public property belonging to the State
which Lad come into his possession at the
time of the surrender of tho insurgents to
his command. Everything, the general
said, would be found precisely iu the same
condition as it had come into his hands.
The Governor accepted the transfer, and
General Brooke thereupon immediately re

New York, .Sept. 22, 1874
The people who are brought to New
York a certain number of times each year
growl (and very justly) at the enormous
bills that ran up against them at hotels
One canuot live at any first-class house on
less than $7 per day ; and if one's tastes
are at all extravagant, tbe cost will come
very close to twice that sum. The fault is
not altogether with the proprietors the
owners of the property have something to
do with it. The rents paid for these hotels
are simply fearful. For instance, the Fifth
Avenue rents for $200,000, the owners
paying taxes, assessments and repairs
But we must guard carefully against shed
ding any tears for these martyrs. Despit
the enormous rent, the lessees manage to
skin the public so that they clear $250,000
per anuum. The Windsor, a finer but
smaller hotel, pays a rental of 125,000 ;
the Gilsey $85,000 ; the St. Nicholas S95,
000 ; tbe Metropolitan 8105,000 ; the Hoff
man 75,000, and the Brunswick $85,000.
On this latter house $250,000 was paid for
improvements in 1873.
You see the. proprietors have to make
the people pay to pay their rents and keep
up the style that the said people seem to
demand. If is estimated that it costs tbe
proprietors of the St. Nicholas $100,000
per annum to keep the house in repair and
make good the wear and tear of furniture.
But notwithstanding all this, the prices are
too high, and there must be a break before
long. Wealthy men can afford to pay
these rates (they don't like to), but to the
country merchant in moderate circum
stances the matter of hotel bills is a very
serious one. A merchant from Wisconsin
cannot come to New York for goods and
get Lome again without it costing him
$200, which is two per cent, on $10,000,
Lis probable purchases. It cuts a hole in
his profits.
the tricks or the gamblers.
The fact that gambling is a regular pro
fession, and regularly followed as a pro
fession, is well known, but the methods are
uot so well kuown. I came across a circu
lar, the other day, of a dealer in what are
politely called "sporting goods," that
throws some little light on the subject.
The manufacturer proposes to sell to
whoever wants such goods "advantage and
marked cards," which can be read from
the back as well as from the faces, an ad
vantage that is obvious, for the player who
knows the cards reads his opponent's hand
readily. Theu this dealer obliges his pa
trons with cards cut peculiar shapes, by
which any kind of a hand can be dealt.
For example, the backs of these cards are
marked to show the size iu the right hand
upper corner, and the suit in the left. A
certain mark in the right hand upper cor
ner shows the card to be a king, and a cer
tain mark on the opposite corner shows it
to be a spade. Which brings gambling
down to a tolerable degree of certainty.
But this dealer doesn't stop at cards. He
makes dice that will throw any number
you choose ; aud furthermore he will sell
you machines which you may conceal iu
your sleeve, by the aid of which you may
"hold out" cards or play extra ones. Aud
that a young man shall have no lack of fa
cilities for being a scoundrel, he sells.fbr
the absurdly small sum of fifty cents, a
What ought to be done is now being done.
The courts furnish the proper arena for '
these gladiators, for iu the courts, with j
sworn witnesses, something approximating
the truth can be arrived at, and the public
mind be set at rest.
RUM AMONG CHILDREN.
It is a terrible thing to see a full-grown
man hopelessly under the influance of alco
holic stimulants ; it is a thousand times
worse to see a woman a confirmed drunk
ard. But if it is so fearful for adults, what
cau be thought of it in the case of children ?
Drunkenness among chidren iu this city is
quite common now, and it is growing with
fearful rapidity. One boy in Brooklyn died
last week aged fourteen. A post-mortem
examination revealed the fact that "death
had been caused by the continual and ex
cessive drinking of the vilest rum." The
medical testimony went to Bhow that the
vital organs had been literally eaten'away,
that the liver was in as shocking a state as
if it had belonged to a drunkard of fifty
years' standing. The mother of the de
ceased boy stated to the coroner that he
had arrived at that stage when he could do
nothing but drink. He had not eaten any
kind of 6olid food for a considerable time
before his death.
I saw, yesterday, from my window, a
boy and a girl not over twelve years of age
the girl could not have been ten rolling
along the sidewalk now in the gutter, then
in the middle of the street, both in a state
of beastly intoxication. Ragged and dirty,
unkempt and unwashed, their faces blazing
with the lurid light of hell, they wore the
debauched look of drunkards of longstand
ing. Of course they will keep on as they
have begun, and will, in a very few years,
go to sraves in Potter's Field, of delirium
tremens. The terrible thing in all this is
its frequency. In the lower part of the
city there ate thousands of these juvenile
drunkards, and then there are enough of
tbem in the upper part, in the good resi
dences. The common practice of keeping
liquors on side-boards, and using them at
the table, is bearing its fruit. The Ameri
can child is too nervous, too easily excited,
to make such indulgences safe. There is
something in the atmosphere and climate of
this section of tbe heritage that makes rum
in every form a danger. And, unsafe as it
is, there is no city in the world where so
much of it is used.
BUSINESS
has revived a little not much, but enough
to make us fee! that life is not entirely ex
tinct ; that people still live, and that they
have got to eat, drink and wear. The great
tea house of II. & G. B. Farrington & Co.
informed me that since the war trade had
uever been so dull as during the first two
weeks of the present September ; and the
dry goods, clothing, hardware and boot and
shoe men bear similar testimony. I went
among them yesterday, and found their
faces a little broader and not quite so long.
Tho buyers had evidently come to the con
clusion that they must have some goods,
ana natt -gone iu" to some extent, they
were tossing goods about quite lively,
though their purchases footed up rather
light. Notwithstanding, the merchants
hang ou to tho hope of a fall business with
commendable pluck. They say that the
stocks in the country are exhausted (for but
little has been bought for a year), and that
the people must buy. In this they are
doubtless correct. Trade must revive, but
I have a notion that the hard limes in New
York is not altogether owing to the hard
times fli the country. The importers are
doing fairly well here the jobbers are the
sufferers. Is not the trade changiug ? Is
not the jobbing business leaving New York
and concentrating in the cities in the in
terior ? Are-not such points as Provi
dence, Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Chicago, St.
Louis, Detroit, Cincinnati, to say nothing
of the hundred smaller centres, supplying
the retail merchants of their respective sec
tions ? What is the use of the country
merchant coming to New York oftener
than is necessary to know how the market
moves, from actual inspection ? ily opin
ion is that the jobbing trade is leaving this
city, and that in ten years the interior
points will do it all.
THE WEATHER.
Have you had any rain ? New York has
been blessed with three days and nights of
steady, constant, soaking rain. It has
been a very wet rain. Tbe streets have
been flooded, the air has been cooled, and
it has become a pleasant, decent thing to
live once more. It was needed here, as it
was everywhere else. Pietro
