SUN-STRoKE.-The St. Albans Messen-
ger says: Several gentlemen, who know
by experience, wish us to say to the
public that sure preventive Of sun
stroke is a wet handkerchief in the hat.
1t should be wet in cold water every half
hour, and it will not only prevent sun
stroke, but will cool the system amazing
ly. Try it. You'll find it a great deal
better than brick in the hat, at all
events.
SUIClDE.-David H. Devoe, who was a
prominent lawyer of Lyons, committed
suicide by shooting himself in his own
house on Friday afternoon. A few years

silver mines. His money was soon gone,
and at the time Of his death he was 81 800
in debt. Depression of spirit, arising
from the loss of his money, it is supposed,
was the immediate cause of his taking his
life.
