ton for scientists and men of inouiripo
dispositions Instances Of persons being SUD
struck, with serious and sometimes fatal
results, have occurred quite frequently, of late
as is generally the case during severe hot
spell; but never until last Sunday has there
been, we believe, such thing renorted as
case of swnstroke upon trees. Such a
phenomenon actually occurred, on the day
above mentioned, under the following circum.
stances:
MIR. Adolph Viese1, who resides in the town
OF Lake View, just north of the CITY limits
and near the lake shore. has on his premises
several fine large cherry trees. Two of the
largest and best of these trees stood at one
end of the garden, very near to high board
fence. Both of them were very thrifty, were
covered with green leaves, and bore a
bouEtiful crop of cherries, which were nearly
ripe. About 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon
Mr. Vieser was standing for moment near
those trees when suddenly he heard strange
noise, as If caused by the splitting of wood
or bark above his head, Looking upward, he
witnessed the most astonishing freak of ma
ture he he ever met with Tho horlz oo1ar;,,r
those trees began to peel off at the tops,
curling downward along the trunk and limbs
until it reached the ground and leaving the
trees as naked and barren as though they had
been riVen by the lightning's bolt. Banks,
leaves and cherries were all stripped off, and
laid promiscuous mass of ruins upon the
parched earth surrounding the desolate
trunks. The process occupied but three or
four seconds, and as soon as he could recover
from his establishment, Mr. Vieser made a
thorough examination of the tree. The ruin
was complete. He found the trunks, limbs,
twigs, leaves and fruit perfectly dead. They
had literally died Of sunstroks.
It will be remembered that last Sunday was
one of the hottest days of the season, thus
far, in this vicinity There was lively
breeze ali day, but the rays of the sun were
unusually severe. OF course the fact that
the unfortunate tree were standing SO near
high, tight fence, from which the suns
rays reflected directly upon them, added
several degrees to the severity of the heat;
and yet, such result as was witnessed by
the owner is certainly one of the most
curious and interesting phenomena of the
season,

What, Susan, are you still at home
When other wives are out
Come put your bonnet on, my love,
And join the modern route
There's Mistress B. and Madame c.
They've laid their children down;
And now are holding daily prayer,
For drinkers in the town.
There VAS time when things at home,
Were worthy of your care;
Bat times have changed my working pet,
We breath another air.
Ill cook the meat and help the girl
The baby can but squall;
Tn used to noise, so never mind
When temperance's all in all.
But stop-I want your apron, old,
To cover up the dirt;
For when take an evening walk
like nqpby shirt.
And if fail to keep the house
AS clean and neat as you,
Just please forgive my failings, love,
For am green and new.
Should Charley barn his little toes
And Ida catcG cold,
When yon return from singing hymns,
Remember not to scold
You know that fashion rules the day,
And men must humbly bow,
While ladies guard the liquor shops,
No matter where or how.
And with leader tried and true,
Who glories in the Hub
You well may leave the kitchen floor
For modest men to scrub.
But should the baby have fit
Or tumble in fright,
I'll dose it long With balsam sgeet,
And close its tender sight.

On which tc kneel and pray,

Like heroes here below
And when at length this dear crusade
Has sung its mission through,
And you are softly laid to rest,
With all your labors too,
Above your grave the marble slab
Shall tell the passer-by-
That just below is buried one
Who prayed the bottle dry.
