YerY pleasant and nice weather..

Very pleasant and nice weather.
E. Wright and John Knight each
lost cow last week by sun-stroke.
In this vicinity last week, by the
intense heat of Tuesday and Wednes-
day, eleven horses died.
We have heard of but one man that
died from sun-stroke in this part OF
the moral heritage, but several were
nearly used up by the heat. A few
deeoctions of alcohol mixed with water
saved them-so they say. Possibly il
they had divided with the horses they
might have saved some of them.
The present week will finish the
cutting of the fine grain, as there has
been nothing to destroy the crops of
Grant and Roberts counties thus far.
The farmers feel jubilant. Corn bids
fair to be a good crop; it now is tlt for
roasting. Potatoes good. Hay is very
good. If there is no rain for the next
two weeks the wheat, oats and barley
crop will he secured in stack. In
every direction tile grain stacks seem
to rise up by magic. very many
have their grain in the stack.
Geo. Weseott, former resident of
Esdaile, abandoned his wife and three
children and skipped out with one of
his neighbours daughters last Novem-
