The Weather.
It rained nearly all of last night,
some of the time heavily, and much
of the time it was accompanied by a
high wind. The weather began to
grow colder yesterday afternoon,
and this morning overcoats were in
urgent demand.
The Italn ami Wind.
There was bluster enough last
night for a heavy blow, but the
maximum velocity of wind was only
18 miles per hour in this city, and
but 20 miles at Southport. The
rainfall from 7 p. m. yesterday until
7 a. m this morning was 1.80, which
was a larger volume than we had
imagined.

His affliction was pronounced by
several prominent physicians in
Chicago and Cincinnati a case vbf
severe neuralgia, until Slavin placed
himself under the care of Dr. Reul

aurist of this city, who found that
the mastoid bone, in which the ear
is imbedded, was inflamed, and that
the only means for relief consisted
in a trepanation of this bone, which
operation was performed by the
doctor ten days ago, and followed by
the most gratifying result, -
