Ereesstpe Hsaf.-The sun was SO excessively
hot on Saturday last, that men and beasts ex-
posed to it suffered terribly, and in some ina
stances fell in the streets. About O'Clock, q
laborer named John Carlin, when near the cor
ner of sth and Grace sts., dropped down, appa-
rentiy lifeless, from exhaustion; but receiving
prompt medical aid, was soon restored to con-
sciousness. A fine trottins horse, owned by
Mr. George Metterd, also fell in the street from
the effects of the heat, and died Immediately
If the weather continues as hot as at present,
not only will Iaboring men find ii necessary to
knock off in the middle Of the day, but team
their stock, or run the risk Of killing them.

ErGESIB's PART IN THR WAR.-.Ths
presentation to the Empress Regent OF
the Austrian color captured in Italy, and
brought to Paris by Lieutenant Colonel
Schmitz, orderly officer to the Emperor Ma
poleon, took place the evening before last. The
Colonel took only forty hours for his journey
from Milan to Paris, and at once proceeded to
St. Cloud As soon as her Majesty heard of his
arrival at the Palace she ordered the officers
OF the Imperial household to assemble in full
uniform in the grand saloon to receive the
messenger with fitting honors. Her Majesty
having taken her place, the colonel was intro
duced, and after having mentioned the excel
lent state of health Of the Emperor, declared
that "the whole army, happy in the idea of
seeing the trophy in her Majesty's hands, re-
ques ted her to consider it rs a new pledge of
their affection for herself and of their devoted
ness to the Imperial dynasty" He then pre-
sented the color to the Empress" Her Mnjes-
ty, who was greatly moved, thanked Colonel
Schmitz most warmly, and, after axamining
it for some time, caused tho Prince Imperial
TO place his hand on 1t. After a few observa-
tions the official ceremony terminated. The
color in question,-an exceedingly fine one, in
good preservation, although pierced in several
places by musket balls and grape,-belong to
the regiment Harmon Kleistern, Of Gallicia
Gallignanis Messenger.

Valuable Pgote.-In the olden time, before
manufacturers and nmelters sot up to the art
ful dodges now in vogue, Of mixing metals
and calling the mixture silver, the genuine
stuff was run into bars, beat into sheets by
heavy hammers, and fashioned into utensils Of
use. Goblets and pitchers were not covered
with "filagre work." to make up in show
what they lack in weight and value; and oil
the wares fashioned from silver were worth
their weight, whatever that might be. On call
