■Mi**n onion:» ol the Fire.
The Green Bay Advocate referring to the
great flre which devastated portion! of Wlscon
There are gome phase* of the great calamity
which tell upon thta region last week worthy of
scientific Investigation. The testimony of the
cnoler-h*'i»dc<l survivor* of tbp fire at Peabtigo,
the Swear Bush and Wlllfam*ville. ia united an
to one phenomenon. Thev *ty that the fire dM
not come upon th*m etadually from burning
trees or other object* t*> the windward, but tr»«
lir^t not|ep thev bad of It w*« a whirlwind of
ft mie in great cloud* from above the tops of the
tree*, w hi fell upon and enveloped every
thing. The atmosphere seemed a* one of fire.
The poor people inhaled It. or the Intensely
hot air. and fell down dead. Thl* la verified by
the appearance of many of the corpse*. They
were found dead in the road* and open apace*,
where there were no vUiMe mark* of fire near
Sv. with no trace* of burning upon their bod lea
or clothing At the Sugar Bu-h, which I* an
extended clearing, in some place* tour mi'eiin
width, corpse* were found in the open road.
b«t\vrcn f*-nrea which were only allgbtly
bur cd. NT.» mark of fire was Upon them, but
th- v laid there if asleep.
ThU phenomenon *eem* to cxplaiu the f»ct
that *o many were killed in compact ma**e».
They st em to have bu-tdl*-d together in wbat
iv« re evidently regarded at the moment at the
-afest place*, awav from building*, tree* or,
o»her irflimmable material, and there to have
•lied togftoer.
Fence* around cleared field* were burned in
spo»* of only a few rod* in length, and else
where not touched. Flab were killed lo the
stream*—a* at Pc»btigo.
We h-*«r the universal testimony that the!
prevailing idea among the terror stricken peo-
jde of these place* waa that the last day had
come. Th* y nee.led not to be terror atih'kon'
f>>r such imagining*. What other explanation j
c*»u!d be given to that Imminent time, when
thtre wa* an ominou*. warning sound coming:
from the distance, when the sky, »o dark Just1
before, burst into great cloud* of fire, the!
beasts of the forest* came running for auccor j
into the m;d*t of the settlement*. and a great;
red.consuming, roaring hell *>f fife fell upon all
around. The dreadful scene licked nothing'
but the sounding of the trumpet—and Indeed
the approach of the awful roaring and the pre-
moni ions from the distance supplied even that j
to the appalled Imagining* of the people.
