The accounts of the appalling ca
lniiiity has fallen, on the east and
west snores of Green Bay, Wisconsin,
have not beep exaggerated. The
burned district comprises the coun
ties of Oconto,-DrOwn, Door, and Ke
waunee, and,parts-of.3lanitowoc and
Outag,amie. The great loss of. _life
and property has resulted from. the
whirlwind of fire which swept over
the country. !waking the roads and
avenues or escape impassable with
fallen thul er and iiiirned bridges.
The previous loll"- drought had pre
pared everything fur the flames. The
lo's of life has been very great. The
first estimates were entirely

it is much greater Than preslnt- ac

PARTICULATS OF THE Tif&A.HTEU.
The following accounts of the fires
ainkoorsos or DionnirwerloN YEOK alt? QUARTZ=
TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, OCTOBER 26,1871.
in the counties above named have
been taken from the late Wisconsin
papers, all of'which. give frightful de
tails of, the destruction of. life and
propeity. The 31artinette and Pesh
tigo Eagle r (extra) of October 12, thus
"d egcribes the scene at Peshti..o
" Yeaterday morning. we visited c hit,
site of what was once the beitutiftd
and thriving little village of Peshti
go. 1 1. t contained about 1,600 people,
and was one of the busiest, liveliest,
and one of the most enterprising
communities along the Bay short.
Standing , amid
r the charred and
blackened' embers, with the frightful
ly mutilated corpses of 'men,. women,
children, horses, oxen; cows, dogs.
swine and fowls-Levery house, shed,
barn,. outhouse, or structure of any
kind swept from the earth as trith
the very besom of destruction—our
emotions cannot be described in lan-
guage. No pen dipped in liquid fire
can paint the scene; language(' ' in
thoughts that breathe and wards
that burn,' gives'bnt the faintest im
pression of its horrors.
"From the survivors, we glean the
following in reference to the scene at
the village and in the farming region
commonly knovdin as the sugar
Bush.' Sunday evening; idler church,
for about half an hour, a deathlike
stillness hung over the deonied town,
The smoke from the fires in, the re:
gion around was so thick ail to be
stifling, and hang like a funeral pall
over everything,
and all was envelop
ed in Egyptian darkness. Soon light
puffs of air were felt; the horizon at
the southeast , south and' southwest
began to be faintly illuminated ; a
perceptible, trembling of the earth
was felt, i and a distant roar broke
the awful silence. People began to
fear that some awful calamity was
impending, but As yeti no ono ever
dreamed cf the danger.
" The' illtunination soon bc.c , une in
tensified into. a fierce and lurid glare;
the roar deepened into a 119w1, as if
all the demons from the infernal ,re
gions had been let loose, when the
advance gusts of wind from - the main
body of the tornado. struck. Chim
neys were blown ddwn, houses were
unroofed, and, amid the - con,fusion,
terror, and terrible appreliension, of
the moment,' the fiery element, - in
tremendous inrolling billows and
masses of , Abe ted '?tame, enveloped
the devod vi lase. The frenzy .of
despair sized on all" hearts, strong
men bowed like reeds before the fiery
blast; w•euen and children, lik - e
frightened speotres flitting ' through
the awtnl gloom. were ,swept
,away
like attnuni payee. • Crowds rushed
for the bridge:.like all else, it was re
ceiving ilf4'haptism of Sta. Hundreds
crowded into tlie . river, cattle plung
ed in with them, and being huddled
togetherin the general crinfhsion of
the moment, many who had taken to
the wafer to avoid. the' flames were
drowned., A great many were on
the.blazing-bridge when it fell.' The
debris from ,the burning i town was
hurled over . and on the' heads of
•
those who were in the water, killing
iaau3• anti maiming others, so that
they rmve up in despair and sank to
a Nvtitery grave.
"In less Than an hour from the
time the tornado strack the town,
the village:of Peslitig,o was annihilat
ed. Full one hundred perished
theriti the flames or in the water,
and all thb property was wiped out
of existence. In the ' Sugar Bush '
the loss of life was even gTeatee.in
proportion to the number of inhabi
tants than: in the village. Whole
families are destroyed, _and over a.
!thialy sffttled region-in' the heavy
hard wootljiMber, consisting of two
or throe townships, there is scarcely
a family but is now left de,stitute,
and mourns f fie loss of- some. of
its loved ones."
The Grand Haven fierald of o;.to
her 11, gives the following account of
the burning of Holland City
" During Monday the city of Grand
Haven was hill of terrible rumors of
the fire in Holland City, but nothing
definite or reliable could be learned
until the arrival at two o'clock of a
trainfrom the north side, of Black
Lake, containing seicral) passengers,'
among whom .were . .ll.im3 Jennie and
Miss ClarieTenni)yer, two r_oung, la,
dies who have been engagedin teach
iag in 'the doomed city. Talc
state
meat bf these voung ladies iv nearly
as follows': The tire broke in Upon
the city from the woods about. three.
s. Ir., Sunday, but tici buildings of
any consequence burned until dark
in the evening.. No one thought the
city was in any special danger until
ten or eleven o'clock, but at that time
a strong wind setting in from the
woods, - - the fire swept over the city
with wonderful rapidity. The .main
part of the city was soon in flames. '
The house where the Misses Pennoy
er were staying caught fire about 3
o'clock Monday ! morning: The ladies
had packed their trunks, and hastily
dregsinp, themselves in wrappers. just
managed 'to escape. The Lake View
House went net, and then, the fine
City Mills of Wakeman, Gerlings
Co. The after leaving the
house, ran to a small mound near by ;
and soon found themselves surround
ed by fire. Mr. George 'Howard,
whose efforts Were indefatigable,
managed to assist them out of their
precarious position.
" The portion of the city where
• Prof. Charles Scott resided was com
pletely destroy'ed,.i . and the Professor,
not being , foutil, 'it was generally
feared that he had fallen a victim to
the flames. "Mr. Joslin; of the ,firm
of Breynau Josliu, another of our
best citizens, was engaged in 'rescu
ing penons from the flames: He insist
ed on going once more to the rescue;
frierids advised him not to venture,
but he Would not be dissuaded,
thinking there "N% ere - till lives to, be
saved. He did'not: retut n, and is-be
dieved to have been 'suffocated and
burned to death_
• " The livery stables were emptied
of horses, which were taken to the
public Square as the 'only place .of
safety. Thousands of people rwere
collected tyre. Women i and children
were running about the streets, wail
ing and crying,-nnable . to find their
husbands and" fathers, brO!heys and
sisters. Many -females barely .eschp
ed.with their night clothes. .A
child
ten yearkof age. was picked up on

ost. Some nibe.or ten citizens are
missing, but some may yet be found.
" When,the Misses Pennoyer left,
men were trying to keep the fire
from the . college 'buildings, but the
succeeding train reported that these
buildings, altiiough - of . were
burning ; ids*e Union- School
building and- all. the churches, eseept
the &Seceders' or the kTrue Reform
ed Chtirch.' One woman leaving her
house- tied her 'baby in a bundle,
but in her hurry she tookthe wrong
bundle, and to' her 'dismay diScover
ed her mistake when too late. 'Of
seven children .she .could find only
two. Fortunately, however, the bun-,
dle conto . ning the live ,baby was
picked up in the street, and it was
believed .that - the other children were
also fonnd.
"The City Hotel at first was con
sidered by Mr. Myers out of danger,
but his most vainable articles he for
tunaiely buried in the * ground, and
these were all that were saved of the
best.hotel in the - city:, The house
wits in flames when the family and
'boarders escaped. The other hotels
shared the sane fate. -
~ "Mr. - Geo. Howard, at the vary
commencement of the.fire,'took four
teenspaties and handed them each
164kVollar.ders who Were . standing
around, and requested them to use
them in throwing sand on the fire,
so aslo prevent 'it froM spreading to
the destruction of, the city. They ac
tually refused to Work,- gioring as a
reason that it wtis. Sunday, and it
would bo wrong to do-any' Work on

"The woods along the line of the

were in 41:awes. The . milea. of marsh
were one sheet - of flame, and .it was
withrgreat difficulty the train came
through. The heat inside the cars
was intense."
The •village of New Frantliri, about
twelve miles a littlexorth of east of
this' ity, says' the Green Day ,AdCo
.cale, of October 12, had heretofore
esqlped'the general devastation from
the forest fires . , but on- Sunday last
a heavy wind sprang up, thiving.the
fire anal -dense volumes . of 'snieke
from the southeast directy down up
on the village. From the first it was
evident that the doom. of the entire
settlement Was. sealed and no earthly
power was of any — avail. About 'all
that-could be clz;no by the . afflicted
community was to save their own
lives; and the remorseless -dames
Bwallowed up Mill, logs, houses,
'barns, crops, furniture, -clothing—
everything but.the bodies of the citi
zens. 'The fire -struck the place at,

left but blackened ruins. • Mr. G. W.
Watson, who Was present at the fire,.

of the States,_ which have been visit . -
edlby the late great • conflagration,
has also suffered dreadfully. The
'country all along the shores of: Lake
Huron, prepared as it '.was for . ' the
flames by the drought of weeks, nay,
of months, has been devasted by the
eimelst, most fatal of all-nature's re
scums. Here there was a hardy,
and generous people, made upof pio

the new- country to- make . it' their
homes. They were a fine set ofmete4

with axe or rifle er p - lotigh t, make
an honest and honorable living. .They
were civilizing the country, and now
they,, too,have been ousted from their
farms and cleafings by nature's ter-.
tilde pre-emption. Nature • came as

the wind' suddenly freshened to a

EXTENT :OF , VIE. FOLES. '
The c,euntieS r . of Huron mi Sanil
ac, which constitute the principal
scene of the - fire, contain about 24, 7
000 inbabilimts. Of these it is be
lieved that 10;000 .are - already ren
dered homeles". They have lost their
houses,.their barns, their stock, their.
mills, even - them clothing.. Some of
them almost literally have, to cnu
mence the world over . again, being
nearly as naked as .when they were
born. The. peoPle of Port Huron
are in constant receipt . of messages
asking for prt visions and clothing,
and the vietin s of c pfe fire are still
flocking in fro ru tie inteiier to the
towns on the - shore.. - Already i . the
towns of VerOna, New pfiver, Sand

Minden, Forrestrille ; and the. Polish
settlement near - Forrest Ville,, litiye
.been destroyed; those on the.lalze to
the very water's ed(Te; its the docks
in many. instances have. been sWePt,
away: . The - se lownS represent a pop
idatiOn of at least 6,000 pet.ple.. The
rt
loss of prOpey, in these towns
amounts dirtieti3-, - without doubt,
from $1,500,000 to $2;000,000 'at a
very low calculation, and not includ.; -
ing lumber rind' timber .destroYed.
The vagueSt guess,wOrk only could
'estimate, the loss of pi-operty in . *the
interior. Some of the people - gum ed
out of house and home Were Enahstati

`swept over the cleared and cultivated
districts, as 'well as through. the

Port Huron is already a hospital

from steamboats, and scows: - Thence,
after their primary,necessitieiare at
