Notes from the South

(Pom oun OWN conREsPoxDaNT.)

The typhoon season has now been fairly inaugurated. The one signalled from Manila on the Gth inst. did not put in am: appearance here, but it was the means, take it, of bringing a most acceptable contribution to our water supply, About four inches have fallen, and there is now sufficient in the Reservoirs to warrant a full supply being turned on, which was done on the ith inst. The weather is now fine and dry.
