A fow days since we were enjoying our second heated or tropical term. AU were wondering at the imtense warmth of the atmosphere, and while rail- road men were making short “towers” for their horses the Board of Health Commissioners were thinking of cleaning the streets and the inevitable Dr. Harris of “laying himself out’? on ‘‘zymotic dis- eases, their cause and their cure."” 4 ‘This was a week ago, and yesterday morning people whose epidermes are particularly sensitive to “ther- mometrical influences" looked askance at the water in their bathing tubs—Bridget not yet having thought of “heating up the steam’’—and looked up those over- coats and thick garments which were pleasant te the body when last the “ice king” reigned. A week ago thin linen trousers and waistcoats were endured by bipeds not overburdened with adipose matter, and now (all you in whom benevolence is largely devel- oped remember the poor) coal is advancing in price. Weare afraid we shall have a iong and bitter winter, ‘The indications are that way. And so feeling and be- lieving, it behooves every one to prepare for it. We are not among the despondent; but there are thousands of the “‘hard-fisted” who find it hard work in ‘clear weather” to pay rent and buy food and raiment for their families and themselves, and when the stormy days come, as soon they wili—days when the sun ) will “lie long in bed”? and rain and snow and sleet fill the air, and frost harden the now yielding earth and the limpid waters that beautify as well as fruc- tify it, Of course the winter is not all sad. There are days of rejoicing in it for even the poorest in pocket, while for those who are blessed with the ods and vanities of this world it will be a “gay,” a festive season. Well for these pleasures; if even there are aulness and heaviness of heart—if even there be want in our neighbor's lowly house—if even death, masked in the garni- ture of grim starvation, carries — soul to hades now and then—let us be thankful, more grate- ful. The world is not of drab, pe here and there pleasant colors on its e surface— colors that are pleasing to the eye, colors that raise the soul to the contemplation of the beautiful, and, in the unspeakable language of exaltation, move it to adore the Giver of the evilas of the good. And is there evil in this glorious world in the sense abso- Inte? No! we have our contrasts in the moral as in the physical, and it ts these that unfold the bean- tiful, We have our rich, our poor, and we have our goods, our evils. But richness and poverty, good- ness and darkness are essentials to life. Without them we would be inert, pally nud mentally, therefore, are we ne; and for these we rich, enjoy your wealth; and to the poor, pi pat let ail your straggies be upward. The story is for those who bave persistence —for those who faint ne he wayside. But whith re our reflections leading us? Hither and thither into the highways and pyways of the what is and the what is to be. Let us “return to our subject”’—taik of the ther- mometer and of the pretty dance the zephyrs and the breath of Boreas have whirled us in the past few days. On Monday, according to the Hudnut thermometer, we were rejoicing in a summer heat at midday of eighty degrees, with an average tem- perature in the previous. twenty-four hours of Seventy-two degrees. Suuday was of like ranges, both at noon and throughout the whole of the day. The wind was steady, what there was of it, from the south, but on Tuesday right it suddenly “swung round the circle’ to the north- west and north .and the mercury began to shrink, falling so rapidly that at midnight of Wednes- day it ludicated as the extreme of the thermal tem- perature fifty-il legrees, while the average for the peoening twenty-four hours was sixty-five degrees. Yesterday at meridian the thermometer indicated sixty degree Now, particularly sensitive pee ent like the gentleman in the “Thanautopsis,” wrap their cloaks about them and lie down to pleasant dreams; but We cun assure them, one and all, that winter has not yet “set in.’? We have many pleasant days in store, und these are the crowning moments of the year, the glorious Indian summer, When the corn ripena fully aad our forests paint themselves im colors that are the envy of artists, the theme of poets, the prayer of those who “mouth not unto God.’" The Weather Throughout the Country. The weather was auite cool on Wednesday night at Rochester, and there was a slight frost in that vi- cinity, Frost visited the vicinity of Utica, N. Y., Wednes- day night, and forty-two miles south of that city (Sherburn) there was a slight fall of snow. Snow fell at Aurora, N. Y., Wednesday afternoon. At Kimira and Albany a slight frost occurred on Wednesday night. At Albany last night (the ther mometer stood at fifty degrees. ‘The first light frost of the season, at Scranton, Pa., was on the night of the 14th inst., doing no damage to vegetation. On the night of the 16th @ killing frost fell there, and last night it was expected to be still more severe. There was a slight frost on the low lands of Hamp- shire county, Mass,, Wednesday night. ‘The first frost on the low lands about Lewiston, Me., occurred on Tuesday night, September tL. At Augusta, Ga,, yesterday, the weather was very cool, BROOKLYN CITY. COUNT OF SESSIONS. Heavy Sentence for Using a Pistol. Before Judge Troy. Henry Hamilton, an intelligent looking man, who is employed as gunner at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, was tried on charge of felonious assauit in the Court of Sessions yesterday, and being duly convicted of the offence charged he was sentenced for the term of five years’ imprisonment in the State Prison, From the testimony elicited at the trial it appeared the priaoner entered a Myrtle avenue car, while he was laboring under the influence of liquor, on the night of July 3, and presented a fifty cent currency stamp to the conductor, C. W. Prues, from which to deduct his fare. The stamp being mutilated Prues refused to change it. Hamilton then tendered a $20 bill, but the conductor could not change so large an amount. At this juncture a passenger in the car paid the necessary stipend, and the prisoner rematned quiet for a few moments and then getting upon his feet began to abuse the conductor, and drawing a pistol presented it at him, saymg, “i am going to shoot you.” The conductor shoved his arm to one side, when Hamilton agai pointed the weapon and fired, the ball passing through Prues’ hat. The defence held that the shooting was the result of a drunken freak and that there was no in- tention on the part of Hamilton to do the conductor bodily injury. He merely intended to intimidate ium by firing over his head. He was not in the habit of carrying such weapons, and the one in question he was bringing home for his littie boy to celebrate “the Fourth” with, In passing sentence the Judge dwelt upon the evil effects of carrying murderous weapons, as tending to the reckless use of such upon the slightest prove- cation; hence he inflicted the severest penalty of the Jaw in the present case.

Radical Anxiety for a Quorum on Monday— The President on His Good Beltavior. The prospect for a quorum in either house of Con. gress does not look very brilliant yet, and now that it has been decided to have a eting for business on Monday the republicans, Senators and Represen. tatives, are greatly concerned lest the absent mem? bers may not be duly impressed with the import- ance of being present, Facts have been asceriained, it is asserted, within the past few days which lead them to believe that the President is only acting ou iis good behavior until he sees w! Congress means to do on thi If the two houses are ad- Journed by their respectr iding officers until December, they are convinced that the President will break ground on two or three little plans that he has already matured, the result of which will be confusion and loss to the party inthe Novem- ber election.

Rights of Naturalized Awericans--Important Circular from the German Minister of Jus Hi. to- ‘The following circular letters, iagued by the Minis- ter of Justice and the Minister of the Interior, re- spectively, of the North German Union, are promul- gated by the Department of State for the information of those whom tt may concern: CIRCULAR OF THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. In conciuding the treaty of the 22d of Febraary of this year (Bulletin of Laws of the Confederation, page 228) between the North German Confederation and the United States of America, it was the prevailing intention that in conformity to article two of this treaty the punishable action committed by the un- authorized emigration of a citizen of the Confedera- tion to tue United States of America, should not be made ground for a penal prosecution upon the return of such person to his former country after absence of not jess than five years, and that the punishment for such action, even though already legally declared, should not be consummated if the person has acquired in America the right of citizenship in conformity to article one ot said treaty. The royal government ts therefor e instructed, in the cases indicated, to abstain from recommending trial and punistiment, and in general from every kind of prosecution, whenever the per- son in question is able to produce the proof that he has become @ naturalized citizen of the United States of America in conformity with the first clause of article one. The proper judicial authorities will be furnished by the Minister of Justice with an in. struction in all cases whenever le; sentences ot this kind exist to report officially the remission, by way of grace, of the declared punishments and SULZER, costs. , For the Minister of the Interior.

Tn concluding the treaty of the 22d of February of this year (Builetin of Laws of the Confederation, page 225), agreed upon between the North German von- federation and the United States of America, re- specting the nationality of emigrants, it was the pre- vailing intention that, im conformity to the second article of that treaty, the punishment incurred by punishatfe emigrati 18 not to be brought to exe- cution on oceasion of a return of the emigrant to his original country if the returning enugrant has obtained naturalization in the other country in conformity to the first article of the said treaty.
