THE WEATHER.

“ Jupiter Pluvius” is alike averse to business and amusement, judging from the quantity of rain that fell on Wednesday and a part of yesterday. The wind was most efficacious in many of its daring feats of playfulness in sending hats and such like into mid-air, and after a brief sojourn landing them again on terra Jirma safely in the mud. Well, this, to say the least of it, is very annoying to many, and especially so to the petitumitre’s silk hat, which, perhaps, is still unpaid for. The weather previously to Wednesday had been somewhat amiable to one’s wishes and the sky relueent, at other times cloudy but not disagreeable. The wind on Wednesday was undoubtedly the most gusty and squally we have experienced here this season, but to use a philippic discourse with •' Jupiter” on this subject is, indeed, only making the case worse, as no expostulatory speech would suffl.uuinate “Jupiter’s” wrath on its somewhat spiteful mission. The weather so infuscated the night that one could not really imagine whether he was coming into contact with a corpulent being or the shadow of an attenuated shutter blowing into his bows—to speak riautically. Although “ Jupiter” may think his little pranks merely a sign of the season and only of a mediocre degree, we are rather inclined to think that the feminine gender would class this as rather salebrous usage for their unsuitable habiliments for the pull's from that saint’s wind-pipe. On the whole, the weather of Wednesday was the most boisterous we have experienced this season, and it was a pleasurable sensation to witness the rays of the sun shining forth in all its grandeur yesterday.
