Hot, Hotter Hottest.

According to the reCollections of the
oldest inhabitant, yesterday was as hot q
day as has ever been experienced in this
county. At sunrise the thermometer reg
istered eighty five in the shade, at noon it
was ninety two, and from 8 in the after
noon until shutdown the temperature
ranged from ninety,cight to 100 in the
shade. But for the refreshing breeze
which prevailed the weather would have
been unbearable, and many cases of ex-
haustion would doubtless have occurred
Today the heat is again intense, though
not to such an extent as yesterday. The
temperature is 81 in the shade this after
noon, which makes a brisk market for
straw hats, light underwear, summer
ulsters and sun umbrellas. Beneath the
suns rays the temperature has ranged
from 102 to 10 the past two days.
A horse belonging to band of travel
ing gypsies was overcome by the heat on

a couple OF whom everybody soon took
notice. Ii was plain enough that they
had had a row. and that the wife was as
mad as a wet hen When she had taken
seat the husband walked up and down
and glowered at everybody and seemed to
mnrmur threats of vengeance. On the
deck, sitting by himself, was "A red shirl>

and began cheerful chat, explaining,
however:

"All right marm, replied old Hercu~
les. "Just chatter and chm to your
hearts content, and I'll larf and larf and
slap my leg where the applause comes in. -
