CF EIGHTY PERSONS If! A SUIXGLE SI ILL,
F1FTV bEVEN BURXKD TO DEATH.
The Door County Adtocate contains a full
iccoaut of tbe loss of life and property by
the great fires in tliat county. Up to 8uu
day, 8th inst.. fires had been raging through
the towns of Brussels, Union, Gardner, For
e?tviile, Cly Bnuks, Neswaupee, Sturgeou
Bay, and Sevastopol, burning fences and
timber, but leaving houses untouched. At
nine o'clock on Sunday night a tornado if
the swept down frum the southwest, begin
ning at Belgium settlement, in Brussels,
sweeping through the town of Union and
Gardner, the western part of Sevastopol, and
down the vast shore of the bay, consuming
every building in its path.
At Williamson's shingle ni ill everything
vfs burned, and the most awful dei truction
of humau life ensued. Out of eighty persons
at the mill fifty-seven were I timed to death.
Ths few survivors tell horrible t.Ics of the
scene. After the fire fortytwo bodies were
f.iuud iu a potato patch in the centre of a
clearing ; others were found scattered in va
rious places, some in wells. Many weredis
tigiutd in a terrible manner, and in some
(..hm beyond recognition.
This great destruction was the woik of
l.ul Cfteen rnn.u'ps, and was the same torna
do that burned Peohtigo and twelve hundred
human beiugs.
A number of other loss s of life are reported
to other places. Twenty two were turned
at lirusse.s. There is scarcely a house or
barn standing in the line of this storm of fi e
Effjrts for relief are not spared at Mil wank' e

abroad are af living to make comfortable
tin se who survive.

FIIt'M AS EVE WITNKSnS fF THE BCKSISG OK
VILI.ACKS AND F.HIEST3 IN WIxCOSMM.
On Sund ry night. Oct. 15th, Mr. Jas. B.
Clark, of Detroit, was at Unioutown, Wis.
Fires were blazing through the foie.-ts anil
along the prairies in every direction. Ai
feUniowu there was a strong lntzn, which
at nine o'c'ock increased to a furious g ile,
blowing towards the ,.ke. The who'e sur
face of the country to the wei-larJ, east
ward, and southward seemed to be one mans
Of flame, which almost reached to the lower
ing clouds, and rushed along at race horse
speed. Even whfrc Mr. Ciark was the heat
was intense. Beyond, toward the lake, was
the sett linn ut of Williamson's Mil's, coru-
rising about fourteen families. The fi es
suddenly made a rush like the fl lt-h of a tniu
of eunpowder, and swept in the shape of a
crescent around the settlement. It is almost
impossible to conceive the frightful rapidity,
of the advance of the flames. The rushing
fire seemed to eat up and annihilate the f-es.
THE RUSH OF TUB EIEKY BLAST.
The roar of the blast was as loud as the
whirr of a great mill. As we stood looking
on, say about ten o'clock, we heard another
strange souud. Straining our eyes toward
the fire about seven miles distant we couid
just discern something moving; now it would
appear like a black mass, theu it would sej -arate
into fragments, swaying to and fro.
sod bobbing up and down. It came towa-d
us directly from the lurid wall of flame. So
intense was the jjiaie 0f light about us that
our eyes were uaz" 1 ; they ran with water,
and we could see only by constantly u ing
our handkerchief. At last we made- out by
sight and sound that the moving mass was
a stampede- of cattle and horses thuu.lering
ing along toward us away from the flimes,
bellowing, neighing and moaning as they
galloped on. Finally they came ru-hng
past wiih fearful speed, their eyeballs dilated
and KUring with terror, and every motion
l etoking delirium of flight. S me had been
badly burned, and must have plunged thro'
a long spice of tiaine iu the desperate tff ji t
to escape.
A family's fatr.
Following considerably bthind came a sol
irary horse, panting and smiting aud ita y
exhausted, fie was saddled and bridlid,
and. a we first thought, had a lag lashed
t bis back. As he came up we were start
led at the sight of a young lad lying fallen
ever the animal's ne. k. the bridle wound
abound his hands, and the mane clinched ry
rhe fingers. Little effort was ncKh-d to .stop
the j ided horse, and at once re ease tl.o helj n
le boy. He es tak n Into the b use an.l
all that we could do was done; but be bad
inhaled the smoke, and was seemingly dying.
K nie time elapsed, and he revived enough
to speak, lie told his uamc, Patrick Byrnes.
r.u-l said :
'Father and mother and the children go
Into the wagon. I don't kn iw uh.it berao e
of them. Everything U burno 1 up. I am
dying. Oh, is hell any wo: sue than this?"
The poor f..:io Jay in a critical condition
when I left. The next morning we went to
the settlement. The fi st house we came to
was that of Patrick Byrnes, father of the
lad before spoken of. It was a heap of ash
es. The brick chimney, the cooking stove,
and iron portions of farm tools were the only
remnants of the place. The forest w. s bu nt
down to the ground, the stumps only being
left, smouldering and smoking Everything
was hot. Eveu the road was laked anJ
cracked by the heat.
KOASTEIj ON TUt TOAPSIDE.
About a mile further on we came t a hor
ribh sp etae'e. A'ongs:de the road in a gul
ly lay the bodies of fix persons and two
homes, roasted to a cri.-p. The iron tires of
the wheels and braces and bolts of the wngon
were scattered about. II, re the fire bad
surrounded and engulfed tl.em. Evidently
the animais in their mad struggles had rear
ed, plunged, aud fallen headlong from the
road to where they died.
Mr. Byrnes was a native of Tipperary
county, Iieland, and with his wife had been !
in America over thirty years. Formerly
they lived in the Fourth Ward f New York,
where be was employe.! as a carnnan. Sev
enteen years ago be moved wst, i n 1 by in
dustry bad accumulated a snug property.
He had five children, the 1 1 lrt being eih
teeu and the youngest five years old.
A VILLAGE IN ASHES.
We hurried on. All along the road lay
the carcasses of cattle, sheep, hogs and dog
burnt to crisp. The smaller animals were
almost entirely consumed. Now we came
to the village. Nothing was left but piles
of ashes smoking and smouldering. In the
cellar or one house we found eight bodies.
One of a man iu a stooping position over
that of a child, as though he died trying to
ward off the fltmes. This was very likely
the body of Mr. Williamson, the owner of
the mills, w ho, with his eutire family, is said
to have perished. In the rear yard of the
next house were four bodies, apparently
those of a mother and her children. They
were scorched, not burnt crisp, and one
cheek of the youngest, a girl of six. retained
an expression of cslmness that seemed to in
dicate a painless death by suffocation.
H iRRIBLE DEATH bTRVGOLE INT A WELL.
But the mosl horiillo of all was al Dor-
mati's will. Mr. Boom rail's house was the!
largest in the village, and ia the centre if
the yard, midway between the house and
barn, was a larg-- but shallow well. Sever
al of the neighbors were supplied w ith water
from this fountain, aud it is likely that in
the conflagration, uhen all hope was cut off.
the neighbors, insane with terror, thronged
with one purpose to this well. The ordinal
ry chain and wheel pump used in that place
had bttn removed, aud the wretched people
had leapt d into the well as tint last rtfuge.
Boards had been thrown down to prevent
their being drowned but evidently the re
leotless fury of the fire drove them pell mell
into the pit, to struggle with each other and
die some by diouiiing and others by fire
and si IT 'Cation. None escaped. Ihtrty
two bodies were found thre. They were in
every imaginable position; but the contor
tions of their limbs and the agouized express
sion of their faces told the awful tale.
All the houses along the roads down to
Sturgeon Bay were reduced to ashes, and in
them, or near by, were the blackened corpses
o'" the ill fi. ted residents. Twelve only a e
as yet knon to have eecaped. Ti Se ran
to the lake and plung d to their necks iu the
water.
VEGETABLE SICILIAN
MAIM
HENEWER.
Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring Gray or Faded
Hair to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D., State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and I
consider it the Best Preparation
for its intended purposes."

As our Kenewer in many cases re
quires too long a time, and too much
care, to restore gray or faded Whisk
ers, we have prepared this dye, in one
2rcparatio?i; which will quickly and
effectually accomplish this result. It
is easily applied, and produces a color
which will neither rub nor wash off.

For the relief and

ed bv their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience ha.s proved them to be the saf
est, surest, and best of all the l'ills ivith -w hich
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is puritied, the corruptions of the sys
tem expelled, obstructions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed bv Airr'a J'ill, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as a Family I'hysic,
and for the following complaints, which these
l'ills rapidly cure:
For ITVita or Indiiroatiou, Tlvtlras.
H'm. Lunyuor and Lauof Aipetitr,Uicy

1 pitittiom of tlio Heart, laiit in tlict
, AiIt, Hack and Loin, thev should be contiu
j uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
cumpiaiuis disappear.
For Irir and lropical Swelling,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Mupiireulon, a large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy. As annncrPiff, take one or two Tills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious derangement exi.-ts. One w ho feels
tolerably well, often linds that a dose of these
l'ills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

Tost Office Pules. Here are some rules
for those who have much or little business
with Post Offices, that are so pertinent aud
applicable to all localities tl.at they cannot
come amiss anywhere. Uy honoring them
in the breach, it will soon be seen how com
fortable it will make all hands.
Frrst Never put your letter to be mailed
in the letter box. (The reason for this is
that if yon do not hand it to the postmaster
yourself, he will have nothing to do, and you
will encourage laziness )
Second When you hand it to him. tell
him. "to be sure and have that go." If he
don't 6eem to hear, tell him again. (This
is highly necessary as if you forget it he will
very likely keep it a long time )
Third Never buy postage stamps. Iland
3'our letter to the postmaster, and ai-k him
"if he can change a five." If be can't, tell
him you'll hand it to him seme other time.
It will not be necessary, however, as "three
cents is nothing."
Fourth It is well enough to ask him how
long he thinks it will be before you get an
answer. (Of course be can't tell exactly,
but get his opinion.)
Fifth When the postmaster hands ont
your mail, don't fail to as-k him "is that
all f" (Postmasters are apt to keep back
part of each person's mail, which, of course,
they will Dot do if ycu ask them this ques
tion )
Sixth If yonr paper, or an expected let
ter does rot come.ask the postmaster, "What
do you s'pose is the reason ?" and tell him
"it's mighty curious." Tell him "I expected
a U tter some time ago," and it is well to en
tertain him by telling him where from and
what about, as this keeps him in a good hu
mor, especially if lie is particularly busy.
Seventh If you have a box, do not call
out the number of it or give your name, but
drum on it with your fingers. (This fbows
the people that you have a box, and also
obliges the postmaster to take a "good look"
at you )
Eighth If you get no mail, send your
children to the ffice. Tell them to abk the
postmaster if ''he's sure there ain't nothing."
These, anil a few other rules, will enable
people to get along with the postmaster very
nicely, and 'tis well to remember and follow
them.
Tnis is a curious world. Two months ago
one B. F. Simmons eloped from St. Paul with
a married lady, both of them leaving fami
lies behind. Both were in "good society."
Both were execrated. The other day both
returned. Ihe wtman was met with re
proaches and epithets. Old friends cut her
on the street. A divorce was demanded by
the aggrieved hutbaud. How about Sim
mons? Simmons was a man, you see, and
that makes a difference, you know. His
wife and weeping friends welcomed him back
wiih embraces the poor, misled prodigal.
His cronies laughed with him and jostled
him gaily on his gallantry. That night he
drove around town with his family behind
dappled greys, bowing and smiling patroniz
ingly. Mrs. no matter about the name
the other reprobate is literally spurned and
driven from her home bv all who knew her,
while her paramour, and the equal criminal,
has not, even for a moment, lost his busioess
footing, and is just as much the favorite in
society as ever.
A young lady by the name of Belle
Brown, wishing to be in the fashion,
and imitating the Maggies, Mollies, An
nies, Susies, and other ies" of ber ac
quaintance, bad ber visiting cards print
ed Beilie Brown. Whereupon Figaro is
of the opinion that the sweet name of
Bella cubt to be an exception to the
patronymic rule. It says : Take for in
stance the case of that wag of a farmer
up in O.egon, Peter Abe, who had bis
daughter christened Belle. We don't
believe the will have ber cards printed
"Beilie Ake;' and if the other gii Is ca'l
her by that romantic name when ebe
gets big enough to "rastle,' we reckon
that there will be a lively time, and a
liberal waft of hair and chignons upon
the balmy bieczcs of Oregon immediately
afterward.
How to Keep Stoves Black. Few
housekeepers have time to blacken their
stoves every day, or even every week. Many
wash them in either clean water or dish-wr
ter. This keeps them clean, but they look
brown. After a stove has been blackrned,
it can bo kept looking very well for a long
time by rubbicg it with paper every morn
ing. If I occasionally find a drop of gravy
or fruit juice that the paper will not take off,
I rub it with a wet cloth, but do not put on
water enough to take oil the blacking. I
find that rubbing with paper is a much nicer
way of keeping the outside of my teakettle,
coffee pot and tea pot clean and bright, than
the old way of washing them in suds. The
inside of coffee pots and tea pots should be
rinsed in cold water, and never in dishwater.
