ATLANTA, ALTURAS 20, June TN.
We arrived yesterday to find nes.
tied among the mountains a pleasant
little town, situated handsomely on a
low bench on the right bank of the
Middle Boise. This bench or flat is
about two miles long, having an av.
erage width of about three fourths oil
mile. There are rising on every
side of this little fat, mountains that
tower to the skies, giving to the place
and scene an appearance of natural
grandeur pleasing to the eye and the
senses. All these mountains are GOV.

the power being equal to l20,horse.
1t has ten stamps, six pans and three

: Avoiding Sunstroke.

The Board of Health of this city has
;ssued n circular on the subject of sun
stroke. which has been printed in En-
olish and in German, and is to be circu-
lated through the city, especially among
tbe laborins classes. To an extract from
the circular we add word of preface OF
our own, which is, that nothing is more
;mnortant in the summer season, as g
preventive to the evil effects OF heat, than
10 keen the stomach in a healthy state.
We believe that large portion OF the
cases of sunstroke are caused by a disor-
dered stomach. The brain is in the
closest sympathy with it, as every one
knows from his own experience: 80
Sunstroke IS caused by excessive
heat. and especially if the weather is
muggy., 1t is more apt to occur ON the
second. third or fourth day OF q heated
term than on the first, Loss OF sleep,
worry. excitement, close sleeping rooms,
debility, abuse of stimulants, predispose
to it. 1t is more apt to attack those WORK.

hen house; but they did not stop her from
pecking that hand he was taking hold Of
her legs with. Then he put his straw hat
on her head, so that she had to knock her
head on the inside of it, and then they
both took hold of her legs and pulled her
off. This is very funny story. They
could not get out They let her go back
again. The button on the door Of the
hen-house turns itself around, and they
had to stay shut up in there almost two
hours. They hollered just as loud as
they could, and then they cried, and then
they pounded, and then they kicked the
door, and then they did all these same
things ever again. When Hiram put the
COW IN the barn, he heard them pounding,
and heard Snip barking. Snip was lying
down outside, and sometimes he got up
and barked. One day, the Jimmyjohns
went off in boat, and it was bad weather,
