This morning, however, the fiys rived, and workmen have been busy putting them on the tents, giving an additional pre- ventative in case of rain, of which we have bad none as yet. On Fourth avenue is erec- ted a tent for the use of the mi: without their families. This isin charge of the Rey. Mr. Laney, of Fletcher chapel.
