dunn; it will hardly be that if rains
do not tall soon. Showers that have
threatened, for the past few weeks,
have mostly gone around, but some
body gets the benefit of them. Dry
weather is not peculiar to that locali-
ty, however.
SUNsTRoKE.-The intolerable heat
of the past two weeks has had dis
astrous effect upon the health OF many
in community. There have not been
probably so many deaths from sun
stroke in ten years as during this
short period. Our exchanges are
filed with accounts of death from this
cause. The Burlington Free Press
gives US some twenty deaths from 1t.
There were some half dozen deaths
or dangerous casualties in Hydepark
also, and there is not town in this
county but has one or more cases Of
it. A gentleman in the employ Of Mr..
John f. Morrill, of Derby, and labor
er at work for Mr. A. NJ. Riply in
Coventry, died from it. One or two
men near the Landing also were very
much injured, and a couple of sons OF
Mr.. Harvey Allen, about two miles
from this village, were struck with
the heat, one day last week. We
also learn that very fieshy man driv-
ing from Stanstoad to Derby ono day
last week died in his carriage as soon
as he entered the latter town. On
the 18th inst, two children went out
to pick berries on StanStead Plain,
and were both found dead. We hear
of several deaths in Lyndon from the
same cause.
