it is yet too early to conjecture. .The
mouth of the fiver has "proven to be the
best point for the manufacture of (umber,
but there were reasons - wjiy the j upper
village was tetter situated for other
branches of work. It is also the crossing
of theC. &N. W. Railway over the
Peshtigo river, aud favorably situated as
a centre of trade for the adjacent farming
country.
"The steamer Dunlap took, down a
load of provisions on Tuesday , moruiug'
to Ihe Peshtigo snffere5 - I
Later from Peshtigo.
"Passengers by steamer Union from
Menomonet; estimate the loss of ' lite at
Peshtigo at from 100 to 150 persons.
"The steamer Saginaw brought a few

The Dead at Peshtigo.
" The latest accounts frotn Peshtigo add
to the horror of the disaster. The pro
peller St. Joseph arrived hereon Wednes
day moruing with about 280 of the survi
vors, many of them half chd, barefooted,
bareheaded, and several terribly burned.
"From Charles Woodward, who kept
the Peshtigo llouje, we leirn farther par
ticulars He estimates tie loss of life at
nearly 400. The loss in the 'Sugar Hush
was much worse than in the village. They
had no means of escape, while at the
village the people saved Uemselvesin the
river.
"The Sugar Bush was s thrifty farming
settlement, seven or eight miles long by
four or five miles wide, and contained
about 300 families. It wu estimated by
competent judges on Tuesday that eight
tenths of its inhabitants wtre dead. Bui
about eight buildings' wers left. Twenty
teams went up there o:i Tuesday to bury
the dead.
An Incident
of the destruction of lYihtigo was the
burning of the team of Jharles J. Al
drich, of Big Suamico. lie had been at
work with hoists on the ple-dtiver, driv
ing, piles for the railroad biige at iVsh'.i
go. When the fire stint k the village he
took his team from the ban to give them
a chance for their lives ; thy ran a short
distance, and burned to deaih on the road.
Mr. A. saved himself in the riv r "
A corespondent, writing from Menasha,
Wis., on the 11th instant, givps the fol
lowing additional particulars of this tcr
tiible ealmiiy:
"I could fill columns with ltartrerding
incidents of this contlajrraiioi. but wifi
only give a lew as illustialivt of the rest
in one instance a man took his familv
and lied to l ho bridge spanning the river.
The biidge was soon on ire, aud the
poor, unfortunate familv vero nearlv

river auu were drowned. A woman, on
seeing the tire apnroachinsr. lilt her little

was nearly dry, and ran to the river her
self for secuiity. The woman vas saved.
and, as soon as she could, f.und out the

swooned, and, on recovering, cloned her

instances men perished iu their endeavor

this fearful calamity, much less my poor
pen to describe it. The shriek
of the dying, and of those who had lost

aspect of the. blackened

iy uurned and almost destitute of clothing,
were running thev knew not wrier. ..ill.
ers in the last agonies of death, Imade a
picture too horrid for conteniblatim.. Th
sufferers have all been taken to Green Bay

maiked traits of the West. Tbej loss to

factories and most of the town, (besides
large pine lands, is estimated at three
million dollars, besides the loss pf their
extensive warehouses iu Chicago.!
Menekaunee j
a town of seven or eight hundred inhabi
tants, is all destroyed but three houses.
Fortunately no lives were lost here.
iMr. G T. Tisdale. a well known eiii.
zeh of Peshtigo and one of the survivors,
thus describes his own experiences :
" During the day Sabbath, October 8
the air was filled with sinoke, which
crew more dense toward evening nn,i it
was noticed that the air. which was nnit.
chilly durins the dav. erew oniie. wdrm
and hot puffs were quite frequent in the
evening. j
" About half past eight o'clock at night
' C:iM Fi-vtll lf was a heavy fun to
27, 1871.
' the -southwest of the town and a dull
uauu use matoi tieavv wind
came up from that Quarter.
" At nine o'clock the wind was blow
ing heavy and fresh, and by half past
nine a perfect gale.
THE fcOAB OF THE APPEDACniXG TORXA
i;. . DO
grew more terrible at ten. When the fire
struck the town it seemed to swallow up
and literally drown everything. The fire
came on swifter than a race horse, and
within twenty minutes of the time it
struck the outskirts of the town, every
thing was in flame.
WHAT E0LLOW6 BEGQ Alls ALL-DESCUIP--
4. ... - "TIOJI. .
" About the time the fire reached the.
x n.go Wouse, i rp.n out ot the east
door, and, as I stepped on the platform,
tho wind caught me and hurled me some
distance upou my head and shoulders and
blew ce upon ray face several times goin
to the river. Then came a fierce, devour
ing pittiless rain of fire and sand. hnt
as to ignite everything it touched. I ran
imo tne water, prostrated myself, and put
my face in the water aud threw water over
my back and head. The heat was so in
that I could opt keep my head out of wa
ter for but a fw seconds at a time, for
the space of nearly an hour. Saw fogs
in the river caught fire and burned iu the
water. A cow came uD to me, and
rubbed her neck agaiust iue, and lowed
most piteonsly. I heard men, women,
and children crying for help, but was at
terly powerless to help any one. What
was my experience was the experience of
others.
" Within three hours of the time the
fire struck the town the site of Peshtigo
was literally a sand desert, dotted over
with smoking ruins. Not a hen coop or
even a dry goods box was left.
THROUGH THE SUGAR BUSH
the case seems to be even worse than in
the tnwn, as the chances for escape were
much less than near the river. I esti
mate the loss of lite to be at least three
hundred in the town and Snr H...1,
Great numbers were drowncdin the river.
battle and horses were burned in the
streets.
"The Peshtigo company's barn burned
with over fifty horses in the stable. A
great many women and children and men
were burned in the streets and at places
so far from anything combustible that it
would seem impossible ;hey should burn;

TERRIBLE DEATU OF A FATH
ER AND SON.
A Chicago correspondent of the Hart
ford Courant furnishes the following:
"Chicago has recently witnessed a
double suicide of a character jwrticularly
painiii and Miocking. Its details have
beeu excluded froi our local papers, but
1 see no reason why us moral should be
lost abroad. Dr. wr.s one of the
most conspicnou, wealthy, ami trusted
physicians in Chicago. He was an Al
derman also, and a member of the Board
of Education a man of much power and
considerable culture, but, like some other
doctors, he had fallen a victim to the
cup. His practice did not perceptibly di
miuieli on that account, for there is a pre
valent superstition that great success in
medicine is ii. compatible with temperate
principles and habits. The doctor's fath
er was a man of similar lemjicrarafnt,
and a "free liver" also. He, t -o, was a
citizen (t prominence, aud bad held sev
eral places of trust.
"Three weeks agofither and son went
deliberately forth "ou a spree." They
wallowed together in heaa'riiics. They
deserted their homes lor ihe seasou f
dissipation, and .!g-d among the un

ments of perdition, and died a horrible
death, his sou Ik ing dragged in from the
streets long enough to take a diunkeo.

II? Jingeied fonger, but the liquid fire

raving through ihe tiniLle nights, and
ctyiugfir more, he ii i.-.lly died iuhe

of his fuller. This double suic'e, so
rapid aud terrible, by two prominent and

known."
Grant, iu " unrching on" the ilor
mous so lapidly, is endeavoring to eicite
