SUNsTRoKE.-A Mr.. Loot, book-keeper
at Moureau & Koerber's, was sunstruck on
Monday afternoon about o'clock, and died
about o'clock the following morning. Mr..
Loot was attacked Immediately on stepping
out of the warehouse of the above-named
firm into the sun. He was picked up in
stantly and carried to bed and everything
possible done for HIM. At one time during
the night he seemed much better, and his
friends and attendants were sanguine of his
recovery, but after. taking some chicken
soup, which he seemed to relish, the blood
rushed to his head and he fancied himself
falling, and from that time on he sank rap
idly. Deceased was man about forty-fve'
years old, and leaves wife and three chill
dren in San Antonio. He had resided in
this city but about six weeks.
Since writing the above we learn that a
post mortem examination was made by Dr.
NJ. A, Taylor, vino says that deceased died
of heart disease. Mr.. Loot, We learn, had
policy of $4,000 on his life in company
represented by Mr. Eggleston. q ~

A WILD Boy CAUeHT.-A gentleman ar
rved from San Marcos yesterday, and
brought the news of the capture of wild
boy few miles from that place. The boy
was first discovered wallowing in pond of
shallow water, and, when approached, he
broke like quarter-horse, running about a
mile before he could be overtaken by men
on ponies. Riding up near, the boy was
lassoed, when fierce contest ensued, the
strange being striking, kicking and lunging
about in the most fearful manner, and ap-
parently being frightened almost to death.
Finally he was overpowered, TIED and
taken to the house of the man who first
discovered him. Ills body was covered
with hair about four inches long, and from
size and appearance he is supposed to be
about twelve years old. He is unable to
talk, but possesses reasoning power, and
now follows his captor about like dog.
Policeman Allen, we learn, started yester-
day to bring this strange prodigy to Aus
tin, but why we know not. He will prob
ably arrive this evening or tomorrow, when
we shall have something more to say upon
the subject.

HARRIS CAPTURED. Tuesday morning
we published the killing of man named
Yancey by one Harris, who fed and was
pursued by neighbors. A gentleman from
Georgetown yesterday reports that Harris
was captured, and that he is now in the
Georgetown Jail. There is a different YER
sion of the circumstances of the killing
from what we gave Tuesday. 1t is now said
that Harris, who is young man, killed
Yancey's dog about midway between his
own house and that of Yancey's, when the
latter came running to the place in threat
ening manner. Harris commenced to walk
backwards with his gun drawn, telling
Yancey to keep away; but Yancey pressed
ahead and finally got hold of the gun bar
rel, and in the scuffie that ensued the weapon
was discharged, and Yancey was instantly
killed. the whole load entering his body.
The STATESMAN has now given both state
ments about the killing, ana for further in
formation about it the public must wait for
developments at the trial of Harris, which
will take place in few days, the court at
Georgetown being now in session.

Double Danger Arsrted.

The inhabitant of a malarious region is
by double danger. He is not
only compelled TO breathe miasma, but to
saodUoo it, since it infects not only the at
mosphere, but the water. The aerial poison
threatens his system through the lungs and
pores, the liquid through the stomach.
Against this double peril there is but one
protection, and that is to inyigorate the en-,
tire body through the digestive and secre-
tive organs. Ordinary tonics usually fail to
accomplish tnis-Hostetter' Stomach Bitters
never. In the tropics, where the disease
originated by malaria are of far more ma
lignant type than those originated by the
same cause in the temperate zone, it enjoys
immense and constantly increasing sales,
and there Is no portion of this continent
where it is not the reigning specific for
iniasmatic feyers and disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, proceeding from
malaria and other causes.

MAGNIFICENT LITERARY FABKIc.-Web
ster's Quarto Dictionary has passed through
various editions, each an improvement upon
and an enlargement OF the preceding, until
it has eliminated in the present magnifi-
cent literary and linguistic fabric. The
reputation of this work is not confined to
America. We find it stated that in the
Alexandra case, tried in the Court of Ex-
chequer at Westminster Hall, under purely
English law, no other dictionary, English
or American, was quoted or alluded to than
this. The Lord Chief Baron, in his decision,
pronounced 'sWebster's Dictionary a work
of the greatest learning, research and abill-
tyr Besides the numerous illustrations
with which the volume is interspersed, there
are atthe end sixty-seveD pages of the most
finished pictorial illustrations, representing
almost every conceivable object in nature,
science and art. 1t would be unnecessary,
if We were competent to the task, to subject
this work to a critical analysis. Its reputa-
ton is firmly established. 1t is built upon
a rock, and can bid defiance to any petty
storm that the critics can raise iehmOnd

HAVING failed to get a quorum at the
last called meetings, the county court will,
at its next regular sitting, take up the
question concerning the building of the
court house, and, as we hope, act upon it.
The STATESMAN has expressed itself upon
this subject, and continues to hope that no
narrow-minded policy will lead the court.
If Travis county owed debt it would be
worth while opposing the issuing of bonds,
but it is out of debt, and court house is
all that it should ever go in debt for.

CoRE ONE DoLLAR.-Three weeks ago
corn in this city could be had for sixty-fve
cents bushel, and it was believed then,
with the Hattering prospect for heavy
weld. that It would go down to forty or
fifty cents. But the dry weather is said TO
have cut the crop short one-half, and yester-
day corn brought one dollsr in this market.
Now the question is, won't the farmers make
as much money on half a crop at one dollar
a bushel as they would have made on . full
crop at fifty cents bushel, and on less
labor, and, if so, won't the country prosper
as we'll? When the farmers make money
everybody makes money, and certainly our
Granger friends, with their cribs full Of
good wheat and oats, half crop Of corn at
double price, and good prospect for cot
ton crop equal to that Of last year,
have no cause TO look blue or to
make complaints. II corn had been
more abundant, and, therefore, cheaper,
possibly more people in town would have
kept horses and went riding ottener, but
this is no serious drawback to the city or
the country. This portion of the State has
never, we believe, exported corn, not even
to Houston or Galveston; but on the con-
trsry it has now and then year had to i'm
port corn from Washington county and
other places. The government, it is true,
requires great deal of corn for its frontier
posts and transporting trains, but there is
an abundance raised in the country to supply
that want with a surplus for home consump-
ton besides. The oat crop, too, all over
Western Texas is very large, which will,
to great extent, balance the deficiency in
corn and enable people in town to feed their
stock almost as cheaply as if the yield of
corn had been larger. All things consid-
cred, we see no cause yet to complain about
crops-indeed the dry weather of this year
will tend to make people hereafter SOW
more oats, which is better an earlier and
surer crop.
