OVERCOME BY HEAT.-A man
whose name we could not learn, fell
to the pavement, overcome by heat, at
the corner of Third and Main Streets,
yesterday evening. He was carried
into the Court House, and a physi-
clan was called, who, in a measure
restored him, but by night the man
was scarcely able TO speak. He was
a stranger in the city.

THE Board of Equalization has fin
ished up the real estate Of the city,
and is now directing its attention to
the personals. We are informed that
some of the real estate has been
advanced nearly two hundred per
cent. 1t is generally customary to ad-
wise property owners of the city of
the readiness of the Mayor and Board
to hear complaints and correct errors
before the duplicate is made out. But
this will not be done this year, or at
least the Mayor says there is no neces-
sity and no law for it. We concede
that it is a little unpleasant to listen to
the complaints of tax payers this
weather, but still we cannot but think
it would be better to hear their objec-
tiOns before than after the making out
of the duplicate. Some of them may
prove a little obstinate and get out in
functions against the Collector. That
would make things unpleasant too.

lads, who found them near Ellis's

pigs from ravenous sow in the following
manner. He took the pigs away and gave
the mother pint of whiskey which made
her drunk. While she was thus fuddled and
made happy bV the whiskey, he carefully re-
placed the pigs, and after that she was
go I'd and kind mother. This is decidedly the
best thing we ever heard OF whiskey.
and just so far and no further we give il
credit. We always knew that hogs are lond
OF ardent spirits. We once saw several fuh
grown hogs drunk and absolutely silly, being
made so by cherries that had been long soak
ed in a barrel OF rum. We have Known
some human mothers quite tond of alcoholic
liquors. but we Lever knew that they increas-
ed maternal affection. They generally pro-
duce contrary effect. We are just at this
moment of writing reminded of an incident
that took place several years ago.
While we were engaged in the cruel sport
OF catching wild pigeons under net, some
one told us that soaking the wheat used for
baif in sweetened gin would make them like
it oil the more We did so and the result was
highly amusing.
These beautiful birds ate the wheat thus
prepared very sreedily. Soon they began to
show the effects and became unusually musi-
cal, clipper and playful. We never saw
pigeons so apparently happy before. This
/ stimulus drove fear from them and the ne
was easily drawn over them. So il seems al
coholic liquor has a much better effect On the
brute creation than on human beings. While
it makes the former happy and affectionate,
it stirs up anger and brutaizes the latter.
