. SunstrokeToo
much care cannot bo excr
cised to prevent tho direct rays of
the sun acting on tho head in this
unusually hot weather. Sun
stroke* :\ro already beginning to
warn people of the power of Old
Sol to ilistliutlv lav them iiroatriitn.
f V I "*
There nro two kinds of sunstroke.
The first occurs lrom o? er exertion,
and the symtoms are fainting
staggering, a feeble pulse, and a
moist, cool skin. In the absence
of a physician, the sufferer should
be immediately removed to a cool,
shady spot, icc cold walur, or water
as cold as possible, applied to
the head, and a little alcoholic
feiimnmnt in ico water administered
internally. The second is tlio
more fatal kind, where the patient
falls unconscious. The eympt- ins
are hot. di y skin, hurried breathing,
and sometimes convulsioi s.?
Tho oidv remedy is removal to a
cool place, whero the party must
be stripped to the skin, nn ice bag
or icc applied to the head, and also
under the arm pits, and the
whole body rubbed with ice. This
should be steadily per.-cvcred in
until tlio patient recovers or deatb
et sues. In either 6truke a doctor
should be immediately summoned:
In order to prevent sunstroke,
avoid the direct rays of the sun,
and the uscof stimulants during the
hot weather. A broad brimmed,
poroti6 hat should be worn. Those
compelled to work in the sun
should have a shady spot to go to
at intervals. Pedestrians should
carry sun umbrellas and look well
to their head gear. Bathing or
washing every morning is an ex
cellent precaution. Regularity in
diet, and the avoidance of every
excee*, and quiet living, are among
the most o*??nn?i!il hfoMht;../.

A Severe Affliction
The Hartford 'Hi lies, referring
to tlie sad caso of Mrs. Vallaudighain,
whose husband died while
flic was attending the funeral of
her brother, ea} 8 : " We lately
saw a harder case than this in the
pel son of a man at the Asylum
Street Railroad depot, who had
just been paralyzed, and was car
lied in the arms of four men from
the Springfield train to a train for
lMninville, on his way to his home
in New llarttord. This unfortunate
man, Mr. D. E. Ilawlev. was a
baggage master in the Springfield
depot. In getting out a heavy
trunk from the huggago car of a
nv5>-% _> univeu nam no was thrown
down by tfio concussion of tWbnck
ward Coming engine, liittim; tlie
train; and in falling with bis
trunk, the trunk bit another heavy
trunk, and this fell on his back,
liarolizing his body and legs. On
his way here, to his home in New
Hartford; he learned of the sudden
death of his wife. The poor woman
dropped on hearing by telegraph
of her husband's misfortune,
and died immediately. The uniortnna'e
ami now doubly afflicted
man was taken fo Ins desolate home,
where in a*few days after his ar
rival, lie witnessed the death of
his child.''

General Rules for Preserving Fruit
1. Let everything used for the
pnrpose be delicately clean".and
dry/ bottles especially so.
2. Never place a preserving
pan flat upon the fire, as this will
render the preserves liable to hum
to, as it is called ; that 4s to say,
adhere closely to the metal, and
then burn ; i' should rest always
on a trevet, or on the lower bar of
the kitchen range.
3. After the sugar is added to
tliein. stir the nuworvo# er<?i??lv I
first, and more qnicklv toward tlio
end, without quitting them until
they arc done ; this precaution will
always prevent tliechauce oi their
being spoiled.
4. All preserves should he perfectly
cleared of the scum as it
rises.
5. Fruit which is to bc"prt*6crved
By;up must first be blanched,
or boiled gently, until it is sutliciently
softened to absorb the sugar
; and a thin s?rup must he
poured on it at fiist, or it will
sin ivel instead ot remaining plump
and becoming clear. Thus, it it
is weight of sugar is to he allowed,
and boiled to a syrup, with a pint
of water to the pound, only half the
weight lilt 1st be taken at tirst, and
this must not he boiled with the
wilt or iiu?m limn H ft nun <>>
~ *" ?"'J
minutes at the commencement ot
the process ; a part ot ttic remain
ing sugar must he added every
tiiiic the syrup is le boil oil, unless
it shouiol be otherwise directed in
the receipt.
G. To preservo with true flavor
and color of fruit both in jams and
jollies, boil them rapidly until they
aro well reduced, lefore the sugar
is addded, and quiekly alterward,
but do not allow them to become
so thickened that the sugar will
not dissolve in them easily and
throw up its scum. In some sea
sons, the juice is so much richer
thanjotbers, that .this effect takes
place almost belorc one is aware
of it; but the drop which adheres
to the skimmer, whoti it is held up,
will show the state it has reached.
7. Never use tin, iron or pewter
spoons, or skimmer for preserves,
as they will oouvert the color o 1
red fruit into a dingy purple, and
impart, besides, a-vcry unpleasant
flavor.
8. When cheap jams or jellies
urc rcquireu, make tlicm at once
with loaf sugar, but use that which
is well refined always, for preserving
in general ; it is a false economy
to purchase an inferior kind,
as there is a great waste from it in
tho quantity of scum which it
throws up.
9. Pans of copper or bell metal
are the proper utensils for piecrv.
ing fruit?when used, they must
bo scoured bright with sand. Tinned
pans turn, and destroy the
color of the fruit that is put into
them. .There is.now n sort of stew
pan made of iron coated with
earthen-ware (porcelain.) which is
very nice for preserving.?Mas.

Anecdotkof CouNt Bismauck.?
In the summer ol 1315, when
Bismarck, being then twenty-seven
years old, was on duty as a cavalry
officer, he was standing with
other officers on a bridge over a
lake, when his grooin, llilderbrand,
tho sou of the forester on
Ilia estate, rode a horse for a bath
in the lake close by tiio bridge.?
Suddenly the horse lost his footing
and llildcrbi and disappeared in
the water. Bismarck threw oft'
his sword in an instant, tore oft' his
uniform, and dashed headlong into
the lake to save his servant. lie
seized him, but the drowning man
clung to him so fust that he had to
dive before he could free himself.
Bubbles rose over the spot, and
master and servant were given up
by the spectators aa lost; but the

| in releasing himself, and i?o arose
to the surface, bcari g up with him
and bringing to laud his inanimate
burden. The rescued man, however,

A Man Shot Whilk Playing
Panther?A correspondent of
the Clarksburg (West Virginia)
Conservative, writing on the 13th
ult., says :
A fatal accident happened on
Leading Creek last week, which
is a tau warning to those who are
in the habit of playing jokes on
children. The tacts as my informant
stated them : A Captain Ford,
of Barbour county, happened near
Mr. J esse Hornet's home with a
panther skin, and sceirg a little
boy, about twelve or fourteen
years, a 6011 of Mr. Hornet, in a
skirt of woods near tho house, donned
tho skin with the intention of
l ightening the little fellow, but &9
soon as the b <y saw what he sup
posed to be a panther, he ran to
the house and took down his father's
rifle, and went in pursuit of
the panther. He did not have to
go far before he espied him. The
boy rested the rifle 011 a fence and
fired. The man panther gave a
dying shriek, and with convulsive
spasm fell over mortally wounded.
The little fellow did not tee his
mistake until he went up to the
wounded man. Ford lingered two
days and then. died.
A California Palack Car.?
There is now on exhibition at the
Hudson River Railroad depot a
palace car which was constructed
at San Francisco by the limber
Manufacturing Company of that
city of native wood. This car contains
the "comforts of a home,
with all modern improvments," as
it is divided into four suites of
rooms, and each apartment lias its
own dressing room. These suites
of room3 will each accommodate
comfortably eight persons, and are
very handsomely fitted up. The

Blub Rtdok Railroad.?The following
extract la made from a letter
recently written by the Presi- ?
dent of the road to tl.e Cincinnati <
Railroad Record :
After many vexatious delays, 1
occasioned mainly by the peculiar \
condition of the fiuanccs of this <
State, and the distrust of capitalists
to invest in Southern securi- <
tics, the Bluo Ridgq Railroad t
company in South Carolina, is
again in a condition I hope, to 1
{>ress the construction along the ?
ine raoro vigorously. A new
company, composed of capitalists 1
in South Carolina and New York, 1
is now forming, who propose to
complete the road in a short time t
on certain conditions. This pro- <
position includes the issue of a preferred
stock for $2,000,000, bear- J
ing 7, 8 or 10 per cent, until the i
road is completed, after completion
to have same preference over 1
stock now issued. The new com- f
pany to hold or retire old stock.?
The company in this State, arid p
New York propose to subscribo at I:
onco tor ono half of this preferred <
Stock. With the $2,000,000 of !
preferred Btock, and the $A,000,~
000 mortgage bonds endorsed by
the State of South Carolina, this
road can be completed in two years
from this date. What we now
propose is to appeal to the citizens
of Cincinnati, either as a corporation
or as individuals, to cotnc to
onr aid, and subscribe at least one
million of dollars of thi6 preferred
stock. The State of South Carolina,
city of Charleston, and individual
stock-holders, have already
paid in and expended on this road
nearly three millions of dollars.?
We propose now to retire this old 1
stock, and permit new parties to
come in with $2,000,000 preferred I
stock, and by the use of $4,000,000 <
mortgage bonds guaranteed by the '
State of South Carolina, build the <
road, and own it after it ie completed.

Mixing With Stkanobrs. ?The
effect of mixing with new people, 1
who have new ideas and new mcth- <
cds of thought, is very salutary.?
Always to see the same
? - r~ i?' i
I lie same things, feel the same way, j
produces a stagnant condition of the
mind and heart that is very distressing
to behold. There are
thousands of invalids who might i
be greatly benefited by getting
away from home, if only lor a short
time, to mix with strangers, and
be touched with the magnetism of
the great world as it courses in its
accustomed rounds. And there
are mental and moral invalids who
need the same change, to get their
minds and hearts enlarged, and let ,
in a little more of the groat light o!
life. Outside influences are very
valuable to those who at home
have been well trained by healthful
influences in early youth, so
that they can avoid the snares and
Kitfall? into which those who go
lindly often fall.

witli a raz >r ns sharp as himself
not long sinco. A Yankee hap
peniug to pass through that bar*

titan's hotel and ordered dinner.?
When he came to pay the bill, he
was astonished to find it stretched
out to the round sum of six dollars.
This rather startled the
Yankee, and lie demanded to

a bill could be charged. The
landlord replied :
11 The bill will show you."
On consulting it he found therein
charged several kinds of wines
and extras.
* Well, look lierc, I didn't have
none of }*our wine)?there was
nono of that 'ere stuff brought on
for me, and I won't pay the bill."
4* O, we never wait for orders
here?we know our business." re
plied the landlord.; 44 the wine
was on the table, and you could
drink it or not?that was your
business."
The Yankee saw that there was
no use in quarreling about the
matter; so, with a matured vow
of vengence, he paid the bill.
Three months after that, < ur
Eastern friend again made his up
pearancc at the hotel, and called
for a dinner for himself and friend.
When he sat down to the table he
laid a twenty dollar hill at t.ie
side of his plate, and ordered all
the delicacies he could think of,
and all the wines ho could stom
acli. While eating his dinner, he
called the attention of the landlord
to the bill, as to whether it
was genuine or nut. The landlord
looked at it?replied that it was,
ayd handed it back. As soon as
they bad finished their dinner and
cracked an extra bottle of cham
pagne, the'Yankee put the money
in his pocket, walked out of the
house and jumped into his wagon.
" llallo ! here you've not paid
your bill," said the landlord.
" That's your own fault " said
the Yankee; " I never wait to
have a bill presented to ine?the
money lay on the table, aivd you
should have taken it or uot, just
