Dreadful Effects Of Heat I'm Cincinnati
We have heard of late of a number of persons
being stricken down by the heat within the last
two days. The heat has been and is still intense,
and persons cannot be too careful how they ex-
pose themselves TO the rays of the sun.
carpenter, who resided on Rttenhouse street,
was stricken down on Saturday afternoon, while
at work building on West Eighth street.
He lived but short time after.
Two Germans, both men of family, who resided
on Vine street, above Liberty, went TO Aurora on
Saturday evening, 10 spend Sunday with their
friends. During yesterday they both died from
the effects OF sun-stroke
German woman, overcome by the heat fell
down on Everett street, near Linn, Yesterday,
while returning from ST. Joseph's Church. She
was taken into house by, but lived only a
few minutes. There is peculiar incident in re-
lation 10 this woman. Her husband died very
suddenly of sun-sroke about two weeks ago and
last Wednesday she accidentally fell from win
dow in the second story of a house. She was
picked up insensble, but soon recovered, and ex-
perienced no pain from the accident afterwards.
About II o'clock yesterday man, also Ger
man. fell from his horse, near the corner OF Second
and Sycamore streets. physician who was
present, pronounced IL sun stroke. The man was
conveyed TO his residence, somewhere on Front
street, and we have no, heard from him since.
An lrishman was similarly attacked, near the
corner of Race street and the Miami canal, be.
e.
About o'clock, yesterday afternoon, an aged
German was Frustrated by the heat on the corner
of Fourth and Sycamore streets. He was carried
into Eckstens drug store, and every possible
effort made TO relieve him but he died within
half an hour. He was stranger 10 those present,
but in the course OF the evening he was identified
by his own son.
A lady by the name Of Corwin was stricken
down in Covington yesterday, while returning
home from the morning service She was taken
home in an insensihle condition.
Espartero.-His strongly marked eyebrows,
the steady regard of his eye, his slightly closed
lips, and the width of his chin, announce that no
oscillations 10 be looked for in him when once
his will has been declared. Espartcro comma nds
respect by other physical and moral qualities. OF
middle height, 60 years OF age at least, but rot
looking more than 80, he bears on his lofty fore
head, IN his black eye, and on his lips, turning
readily TO n smile, great appearance OF kindness,
frankness, and courage carried 10 reckessness.
BY the services which he has rendered, he is the
first OF all the living Spanish commanders. He is
a good comrade for his soldiers, and when he saw
the troops suffering from want of supplies. Es-
partero often engaged his private fortune towards
the contractors. IL is in that way that, being
rich man when he assumed the chief command,
he was infinitely poorer when he laid il down.
His fortune comes from his wife, the daughter
of rich banker; and she never hesitaied 10 give
her signature when il was called for 10 serve the
army. Espartero had himself no fortnne-nothinp
but his sword. OF an honest but obscure family
he has had always the good sense not TO deny his
origin. One day during his regency there was n
grand source at Buena Vista, and an uncle ana two
female cousins Of the regent were announced
The uncle was small contractor for roads N La
Msncha, and his daughters dressmakers. The
duke at once went TO meet his relatives, received
them most kindly, and left every one struck with
that democratic pride which showed itself so grace,
fully 10 the palace Of kings. There is nothing in
all this, certainty, which amounts 10 absolute
proof that Espartero will be equal 10 The mission
assigned 10 him. And yet a mans antecedent
| conduct is one Of the elements that serve but 10
enable the world TO form Judgment Of his future
conduct--Sieeie.
