tNhlTlGATED FiErCKNEss OF THE HEATED
The heat continues intense in this viciEity
and tie sost2ern breeze which somewhat tenn
Pers the feTcerays OF the sur. fails US az night.
Last night vas decidedly the warraest of tEs
season, and unless we soon &c; rain to eeSl the
laTehed ground, the continuous heat will iceFi-
tabiy have q se-iOus effect UPON the health OF
the community. So far, Washington has been
siDgulaIly fortunate in escaping the fearful
havoc being maze in other cities BIZ summer
s1ote in t ana i s9roke The cases Of sun
nlcted have quickly rallied. Among animals,
however, and especially the horses, the heat h a
been very prostrating. The Washington and
Georgetown railroad oaly lost two hesses yes.
terday, which died froLt the effects of the heat,
anu not twelve, as published in morning pa.
per; Aany OF the hac5I-s.ands are to-day en-
sive heat.
Telegrasus from the northern cities describe
me heat rs having been intease yesterday. In
new YORK tue thermometer showed lO2 degrees
m the shade, and last night, az midnight the
police had reported total or ffty-four fatal
ana ntty-sx non-fstal cases of sanstroke du-
ring the previous twenty-four hours. In Bos-
ton, twenty cases where death eRsled were re-
ported up to II O'Clock m. yesterday, and a
number OF persons affected by the heat were
lying in Q critical condition. YESTERDAY after
noon, however, the weather greatly moderated
as the consequence OF a refreshing east wind.
Ats D. m the Thermometer stood 20 degrees, a
fail OF twenty degrees In 9 few hours.
Rarely has II been our duty to note tiie prey-
aience OF warmer weather, and no doubt much
suffering will exist, particularly among those
whose DAILY work exposes them TO the ferceIsss
OF the heated term. We cannot too often or tee
earnestly urge upon all the greatest possible
care az such time A little psecaution may
save great deal OF trouble. Keep the head
cool, and shield the body as much as possible
from the suns rays. Freedom from unnecessary
excitement and temperance in all things may
bDgiDg life.
