Thb Heat. The speculations on the late
hot weather are various. The infliction ap
pears to have been uniform all over the coun
try as far as our information extends. Mr.
K. Meriam, whose speculations in the New
York papers on the weather for some years
back have been of genpral interest, publishes
the following bulletin in the N. Y. Times:
The temperature on Monday, July 3, at 4
P. M., was at 96 degrees north and 92 deg.
south. On luesday, 4th, at 11 A. M., it
was 97 degrees north and 96 degrees south.
Wednesday, 5th. at 2 P. M., 100 deg. north
and 96 deg. south. The heat had been con
tinuous. My record of hourly observations,
made without interruption for 8 consecutive
years, furnishes but 18 days in the month of
July, in that number of years, during which
the temperature rose to and above 90 degrees,
and the hottest of those days was the 13th
of July, 184996 degrees. It will no doubt
be ascertained that this heated term has been
caused by tremors of the earth.

From the Boston Traveller.
An Item for the Ladies. The ladies will
find on page 335 of the "People's Medical
Lighthouse,'' a most valuable table, in which
is given the percentage of calcarious matter
contained in most articles of food. This
will prove invaluable to ihe ladies about to
undergo the labors and dangers of parturi
tion, for it has been satisfactorily ascertain
ed that the bulk of the bones of the foetus,
and the degree of their solidity or hardness,
greatly depend upon the amount of calcari
ous substance in the food of the mother du
ring the period that she is enciente. By the
use of proper food during gestation, it has
been found, says Dr. Root, the author, that
foetal ossification will be retarded, thereby
rendering the deliverance much less painful,
without affecting the vigor and health of the
offspring. The same thing contains many
hints upon subjects of a kindred character.
which particularly commend it to the peru
sal of females. As a family medical guide,
the " People's Medical Lighthouse" may be
placed first upon the list of medical publica
tions now extant. In short, it has no superior.
From the Providence (R. I.) Morning Mirror.
A New and Valuable Work. We have
just finished the perusal of a new and valu
able work from the pen of the World's Phy
sician, Dr. H. K. Root, who stands at the
head of the medical profession in the United
States, and it's our opinion there has never
yet been a book of the kind published that
will effect such an entire revolution in the
system of treating diseases as the "People's
Medical Lighthouse," which name it bears.
Everything appertaining to physiological
truths is so simplified "that the wayfaring
man, though a fool, can not err lechnic
alities, with all their ambiguities and incom
prehensibles, are discarded, thus rendering it
at once a work entertaining and benefiting
to the laboring man as well as to the litera
ry devotee. By its light, people can walk
through the "journey of life'' without stum
bling into avoidable diseases, which are so
often contracted through the ignorance of
nature s laws ; and by it, those who are pos
sessed of dangerous or. painful ailments, can
be safely piloted into the harbor of health.
Ever? family should have it, and every mem
ber should read it, as there is nothing con
tained in it which can not be made service
able to those in hoary years, as well as to
the prattling child who has learned to read
its primer.
From the N. Y. National Democrat and Star.
The People's Medical Lighthouse is the
title of a very valuable book by Dr. 11. K.
Root. The auhtor is well-known to the pub
lic as the writer of a series of lectures on
health, which have been very favorably re
ceived by those for whose benefit they were
prepared. This book is the result of intense
study and close application on the part of
the author for a long 6eries of ypars. His
experience and success in the treatment of
disease, must make this work an invaluable
addition to the library of every family.
DIED In this town, on Saturday, the 8th
inst., of the cholera, Peter Laney, Esq., aged
about 56 years. He had been a resident here
for 15 years. Mrl L. was a man of warm
impulses, philanthropic and benevolent in
disposition ; he was always ready, to the full
extent of his ability, to help the weak and
distressed. When his friend, the late Deacon
Stephen Williams, was attacked with the
fatal disease, regardless of the consequences
io nimsen, iiKe a neignuor ana a onrisuan,
he promptly repaired to his assistance, where
he remained until a few moments before he
breathed for the last time ! For several years
Mr. L. had been a licensed preacher of the
Protestant Methodist church, and under his
influence a small church had been formed
here. He was an ardent lover of his coun
try, and her free American institutions.
