Since the last storm every change
in the appearance of the sky has been
anxiously regarded by the citizens,
and during yesterday there were
many visitors at the Signal Station
to learn if there was any probability
of another blow. Although the sky
was very heavy, and the barometer
was low, still the fall was not such as

Rev. Drs. Bunting and Howard
and Revs. Rogers and Nabers were
actively engaged yesterday at the
Baptist parsonage in distributing food
and provisions purchased by the late
appropriation of the City Council, to
the sufferers by the siorm. Those
who applied were required to present
proper credentials, and when this
was done and their wants were made
known they received enough food
and clothing to make them comfort-
able for the present.
The above named clergymen will
meet again this morning at Dr. How-
ard’s residence to continue the work
of distribution.

The citizens are cautioned to look
well to thier chimneys during this
fine weather. A number of chim-

winds of last week, and are now in
unsafe condition. A fire lighted in
the stoves or grates may result in a
serious conflagration, unless the chin- (

: We don’t wonder that the Greeks
worshiped Pan. Here at “The Wil-
Berness” we have seen so much of
soul in nature that we seem to have
gained clear views of St. Paul’s
declaration that “God is in all, over
all ami through all.” Nowhere can
there be a richer flora outside the
tropics than here. Fancy, in autumn,

dred other'things, several of which
are accredited to Brazil, one to

are here in the Wilderness.

and beg him to come over and lay

years he would make it the most
beautiful place in America. As it is,
without one natural resource, he has
