together with his hou&o and barn, and five
dwclllugs. occnpled by six families, aro all ren

crtloas that tholr lives woro soved. The peo-
pto aro in dertltuto circumstances, having lost
their clothing ana everything olse. Mrs. Itei-
sey having, by constant oit for years in fancy
war work, all her labor destroyed, valued at
tl,50. Mr. Kelsey also lost some cattle, being
burned. M r. Stephen Gould, o AJJemown, had
sos oral million feet of timber .destroyed, and
only through tue utmost oxortlons his mills
wero f aved. So tar. on Mud Bun five saw mills
and about fifteen houso, togother with lumber,
arc destroved. The homes and mills of Mr. Da
vid scyder,Wra. Qctz.Joiin Eckett and Franc's
Werner aro all subjects of tho fiery element. At
Mr. William Gctz's piaco the calamity Is really
distressing, his wife laying a corpse, and his
oldest son sick with typhoid fever. They were
both removed Into nn open fleld.snd saved from
bumlug up. Nono but those witnessing a woods
firo can lniaaino what destruction It brings n
bout. At fetoddardsvllle most alt the houses
aro burned. Mrs. Cox, an old lady aged eighty
years, was burned to death. Tho children of
Mr, Miles Cox, son of the dead lady, cm not no
found, and aro supposed to havo fell victims to
thi fire fiend. Men, women and hlldren are
