 The barometer has varied less than usual in this month, and the mean 

 is greater than in the corresponding month of last year. The greatest 

 height of the thermometer in June last year was 81.5°, but in this year it 

 has not been higher than 73°. In short, this month has not been so hot 

 and sultry as June was in the last, and may be pronounced a very unsettled 

 one. We have had 17 days on which rain has fallen, but, excepting in 

 three instances, in small quantities. From the 12th to the end of the 

 month we have had but 3 days on which rain has not fallen, and on the 

 16th, 1.383 inch of rain was measured. There have been 3 days on which 

 we had thunder, but chiefly at some distance, and accompanied with very 

 little rain. The total quantity of rain for the first half of this year 

 amounts to 12.540 inches, being 9.768 inches less than in the first six 

 months of last year.
