In the annals of many a great city is the record of a calamity which its citizens recall as “the great fire.” Rome was burned more than once by hostile armies, and later by chance or design in the time of Nero, when that profligate eniperor, who was accused ot having kindled the conflagration for the pleasure of seeing a city in flames, is said to have viewed the spectn* clc from the roof of his palace, “fiddling while Rome was burning/* The great fire in London is a familiar incident in the history of that famous city. It occurred in 1666, two hundred and five years ago. Three hundred and thirty six acres were burned over; 18,200 houses, ninety churches and many public buildings were destroyed. The most disastrous Are that ever occurred in this country, until that which has just laid Chicago in ruins, was the great fire in New York, December 16th, 1885, when the population of that city exceeded but little that of Chicago at present, its wealth was prob ably not much greater and its public buildings less handsome and costly. That fire destroyed 64S buildings, including the most valuable part of the city, and consuming property to the value of $20,000,000. It is too soon yet to ob tain a trustworthy estimate of the loss by the Chicago fire; but, judging from the imperfect and confused accounts already received, it must greatly surpass,in the area devastated, the num ber of buildings consumed and the loss in curred, the great conflagration to which elderly New Yorkers refer as an era in their city's his tory. Chicago, which has surpassed most cities of its age in the rapidity of its growth and the magnitude and novelty of its public works, ex cels them all, also, in the suddenness and extent of this great disaster. The direct pccuniarv loss in the destruction of buildings and their con tents of every kind, is of coarse enonnous, but this will not fall entirely upon the people of Chi" cago. It is distributed among insurance com panies in all parts of this country, and in Can ada and in England. It is reported that a single company, the Etna of Hartford, has policies to the amount of eleven millions on propertv in Chicago. Many lives must have been lost in the terror and con fusion, and thousands of families are homeless and destitute. The rivers by which the city is intersected seem to have been no obstacle to the spread of the flames. Even quarter of the city has suffered; what propor tion of the buildings may have escaped It is yet impossible to learn, but from the mention of localities in the somewhat Jeonfused dispatches, it seems probable that the statement that half the city is in ashes is no exaggeration. Certainly no such crushing disaster, nor any approaching this in severity, has ever fallen upon a city in modem times. But besides the direct losses, there are other consequences of this catastrophe that will be felt severely there and elsewhere. Many insur ance companies will doubtless be ruined and the capital invested in them lost. Then, too, this is the season when large amounts of money are advanced by eastern banks and capitalists to move the crops. Probably millions of bushels of grain, on the security of which this money was lent, have been destroyed and the debtors are ruined. The eastern insurance companies, besides their direct losses, have invested largely in mortgage securities on Chicago property, and other eastern capitalists, great and small, have similar investments, whose value is now almost destroyed. Taking all these things into consideration, this calamity can hardly fail to produce a financial panic of unexampled severity. Another grave consequence is the destruction of the records of land titles in the court house. These were con fused and uncertain enough at the best, but all titles will now be thrown into almost hopeless disorder, which will seriously interfere with in vestments in rebuilding. Fearful Conflagration in Chicago. HALF THE CITY DESTROYED j. Two terrible 6res have desolated Chicago, and one of them was still racing at a late hour last evening. The first broke out about eleven o'clock Saturday evening, and was very de structive. It raged until nearly twelve o’clock Sunday night. The second fire began about an hour after the first had been subdued. It started half a mile south of the first, on Dekoven street, at a point not far from the center of the southern half of the city, and moved north ward, finally crossing the intervening branch of Chicago river and raging through the most important and valuable part of the city, situa ted between this branch of the river and Lake Michigan. Here were the principal buildings connected with the business of Chicago, the principal hotels, banks, and newspaper offices; and here, yesterday, everything was destroyed on the whole territory, from Chicago river as far south as Harrison street. This portion of the burnt district will average seven-eighths of a mile long by Irom two-thirds to three-quarters of a mile wide. The great depot of the Michi gan Central and Illinois Central railroads stood in the northeast corner of this district, and the tracks of these roads run along the east side of it. The follow ing account of the origin and progress of the second fire, was telegraphed yesterday: Chicago, Oct. 9-1.45, a. m.— The fire started in a row of two story wooden tenements on De koven street, between Jefferson and Clinton, and, as was the case last night, spread with ter rible rapidity. Before a single engine could get ott the road halt the block was in flatties and burning furiously. The entire department were soon on the ground and at work. For a time it seemed probable that thev would succeed in confining it to four or five blocks. The wind was blowing freshly when the fire started and in creased to a gale, and suddenly the flames seem ed to spread in every direction, becoming be yond the control of the fire department. Ihe conflagration has already devastated at least twenty blocks, mostly composed of the smaller class of dwellings inhabited by poor peo ple. Not less than three hundred buildings have been entirely destroyed, and more, than that number of tamilies rendered homeless. The wind is blowing almost a gale from the soutli and showers oi sparks and burning brands are sweeping over the city, threatening destruction on every hand. The tower of the court house caught fire from flying brands, but was extin guished by the watchman. No description can give an adequate idea of the terrible scene. Chicago, Oct. 9—2 a. m.— The fire to-night is the most terrible in the annals of Chicago. It has already swept over twenty blocks, and is raging with unabated fury under a fierce south ern gale. The city is in a panic, and people are rushing to and fro in the streets iu terrible excitement. Trains have been sent to neighbor ing cities lor steam fire engines, as our force is powerless. The fire lias now’ extended a mile Irom where it started, Dekoven street, aud has reached the vicinity of the telegraph office, op posite the court house, and is a mile wide. The telegraph office is threatened with destruction. One ot the finest blocks in the city, opposite that office, is nowon fire. The fire has crossed Chicago river. The wind spreads the flames in all directions. It has now reached West Mon roe street, a distance of more than a mile Irom where it started, and covers a breadth of nearly “t C r^ ac bmLri ,om river to Jefferson street. The district already burnt embraces an immense number of lumber vards and freight depots of the Chicago and St. Louis and Pitts lmrg, Fort ayne and Chicago railroads The property already destroyed counts up manv millions ot dollars, and perhaps the half is not told. The task of arresting the flames now seems fivefold greater than an hour ago, and uo one dare venture au opinion as to when or where it will 6top. Two o'clock at Chicago is three o'clock here. The were sent from the office in the city until it w’as enveloped in flames. THE NEXT DISPATCHES. 2:10 a. m —The flames are raging with in creased fury in every direction, and God's mercy can only save the city from utter destruction. A learlul panic prevails all through the streets where the people are rushing to and fro and weeping ana wailing. The fire is approaching the telegraph office, and it will probably have soon to be vacated. Brands from the fire were blown across to the east side of the river, and bu, L dm OD flre directly adjoining the Chicago gas house, aud the flames spread m every direction among the The prospects arc that the gas house will be destroyed and the city wrapped iu darkness. A terrible panic is prevailing throughout the city. Almost everybody, men, women and children are in the streets. It now looks as if the whole city mie destroyed. A raging, roaring liell of fire envelopes twenty blocks of the city. It is already scorching the block of the telegraph office where this dispatch is written, and sweep ing onward a whirlwind of flumes against which human efforts are fruitless, and it is impossible to tell where it will stop. The bridge across Van Buren street is burned. The cars on the track of the Chicago and Alton and Fort Wayne rail roads,with their freight houses, are swept away. Thousands of people fill the streets, rushing out of their dwellings in many instances barely in time to save their lives. The block immediately across the street irom the telegraph office, one of the finest in the city, is now in flames. Chicago, Oct. 9—lo a. m.— The entire busi ness portion of the city is destroyed, all the banks, express and telegraph offices, all the newspaper offices except the Tribune, six eleva tors, and the water works have been burned. There is no water in the city, and not less than ten thousand buildings have already been de stroved. The fire has burned a distance of five miles, and is still- raging. The wind is blowing a gale, and it will be Impossible to get any relia ble detailed particulars for some time, as there is only one telegraph wire working, and that only to the suburbs. The fire now rages on the north side, cast of Wells street, extending up to Chicago avenue in a northeasterly direction. It is being checked to the windward on the south and west sides. The wind seems to blow hard and to be chang ing toward the south. I think the fire reaches toward the great Central depot, and that it is probably destroyed. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, and the Rock Island rail road depots, the city water works, the Tremont house, Sherman house, Crosby opera house, etc., arc among the buildings destroyed. The elevators on Main and River streets must have been burned, as the fire was raging on both sides at seven o'clock this morning when l was there. Thousands of people are homeless, and the losses will exceed fifty millions of dollars. One third of the city is in ruins. All banks, insurance offices, warehouses and elevators have been destroyed. Fully ten thousand build ings have been burned. The fire is still raging and the wind is blowing a gale. There is no water. The fire is now coming south on Wabash avenue, and will probably reach us here where a temporary telegraph office has been estab lished, before night. OTHER DISPATCHES. Boston, Oct. 9.—Ouc of our principal mer chants has received the following dispatch from a leading lawyer and large real estate owner: Chicago, Oct. 9,1871. To Geo. C. Richardson, Devonshire street, Bos ton. Chicago is in ashes. The calamity is awful. Miles are burned over. Send donations from Boston for the suffering people. The water works are burned, and the telegraph destroyed. C. A. Gregory. Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 9.—The mayor has telegraphed the mayor of Chicago offering the services of the fire department if needed. It is reported that many houses have been blown up in the effort to stem the conflagration, but with out effect. A mass meeting is being held here, presided over by Gov. Hayes, for the relief of the Chicago sufferers. The mayors of nearly all the western cities have proffered relief and as sistance to the mayor of Chicago. The chief en gineer of the Cincinnati fire department, with three engines and hose cars, has started for Chi cago. LATEST YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. Englewood, ten miles from Chicago, Oct. 9— 11 a m. —The work of devastation continues. More than one-half of the city is already de stroyed, and the flames continue their ravages almost unopposed. At about one o’clock this morning the fiic crossed the river at Adams street bridge, and soon destroyed the gas works, and then spread itself in every direction. At this hour almost every building, from Harrison street north to the Chicago river, is destroyed, including all the insurance offices, banks, ho tels, telegraph offices, newspaper establish ments, with the exception of the Tribone office, which is fire-proof, the court house, Sherman house, Tremont bouse, Palmer house, new Pa cific hotel, new Bigelow hotel, and, in fact, everything else is** swept clear. This district embraces all the heavy business houses m the city. The rain of fire ana brimstone on Sodom aDd Gomorrah can hardly t*e compared to the devastating rain ot the fire fiend in Chicago. More than one-half of the population are now rushing through the streets in vehicles, which are obtained at enormous prices, on foot, and in every other way. with the choicest household treasure in their arms and on their backs, in ut ter confusion, knowing whither to go. Fear ful suffering must follow, and almost immedi ately. Full 150,000 people are at this moment homeless and houseless, not knowing where to lay their heads or get anything to satisfy the cravings of hunger. It appears by these dispatches that the fire had found its way to every important part of the city. It began in the southern part, went northward with great rapidity, and had passed through the business part of the city, crossed the main channel of Chicago river, and gone beyond Dearly a mile and a quarter. The dis patches in our telegraphic columns give some account of the destruction in this part of the city. From Division street at the north to Har rison street at the south, the distance is two miles; and a district that will average more than a mile wide, lying between these two streets, is burnt over. How much has been burned in the districts west of Chicago river and its south branch, has not been told; but the two fires began west of the river, and the destruc tion caused by the fire was on that side. See the last night's dispatches for the latest news. In speaking of the county offices, yesterday, we might have said, as we do now, that Mr. William O. Brown of Koyalston, the county commissioner whose term expires this year, has proved an excellent officer, oi sound judgment, diligent and conscientious. Having found him efficient and faithful, the county cannot afford to lose his services. Mr. Brown, we understand, is willing to accept a re-nomiuation. it is rare that a county commissioner leaves office at the expiration of his first term, and this is no case for an exception to the general custom. Boyn an Farmer*. There are so many bright spots in the life of a farm-bov, that I sometimes think I should like to live the life over again; I should almost lie w illing to be a girl, if it were not for the chores. There is a great comfort to a boy iu the amount of work he can get rid of doing’ It is sometimes astonishing how slow he can go on an errand, he w’bo leads the school in a race. The world is new and interesting to him, and there is so much to take his attention off, when he is sent to do anything. Perhaps he couldn’t explain himself why, when he is sent to the neighbor’s after yeast, he stops to stone the frogs; he is not exactly cruel, but he wants to see it he can hit 'em. No other living thing can go so slow as a boy sent on an errand. His legs seem to be dead, unless he happens to espy a woodchuck in an adjoining lot, when lie gives chase to it like a deer; and it is a curious fact about boys, that two will be a great deal slower in doing anything than one, and that the more you have to help on a piece of work, the less is accomplished. Boys have a power in helping each other do nothing; and they are so innocent about it, and uncon scious. “I went as quick as ever I could,” says one boy, when his lather asks him whv he didn't stay all night when he has been absent three hours on a ten-minute errand. The sarcasm has no effect on the boy. Going alter the cows was a serious thin<«- in toy day. I had to climb up a hill which was covered with wild strawberries in the season Could any boy pass by those ripe berries? And then in the fragrant hill-pasture there were beds ol wintergreen, with red berries, tufts of colum bine, loots ol sassafras to be dug, and dozens of things good to eat or smell, which 1 could not resist. It sometimes even lay in my wav to climb a tree to look for a crow’s nest, or to swing in the top, or to see if 1 could see the steeple of the village church. It become very important, sometimes, lor me to see the steeple; and in the midst of my investigations the tin horn would blow a great blast from the farm house, which would send a cold chill down my back in the hottest days. I knew what it meant. It had a frightfully impatient quiver in it, not at all like the sweet notes that called us to din ner from the hay field. It said: “Why on earth doesn’t that boy come home? It is al most dark, and the cows ain’t milked!” And that was the time when the cows had to start into a brisk pace to make up for lost time. I wonder if any boy ever drove the cows home late, who did not say the cows were at the fur ther end of the pasture, and that “Old Brindle was hidden in the woods and he couldn’t find her for ever so long.” The brindle cow is the boy 8 scapegoat many a time. No other boy knows how to appreciate a holi day as the farm boy does, and his best ones arc of a peculiar kind. Going fishing is, of course one sort The excitement of rigging up the tackle, digging the bait, and the anticipation of great luck, these are pure pleasures, enjoyed be cause they are rare. Boys who can go fishing any time care but little for it. Tramping all day through brush and brier, fighting flies aud mosquitoes, and branches that tangle the line, and suags that break the hook, and returning home late and hungry, with wet feet and a string of speckled trout on a willow twig, and have the family crowd out at the kitchen door to look at 'em and say, “Pretty well done for you, bub; did you catch that one yourself?'' This is also pure happiness, the like of which the boy will never have again; not if he come to be a select man and a deacon, and to “keep store.” But the holidays I recall with delight were the two nays m the spring and fall, when we went to toe distant pasture lands, inti neighboring I™!°^ t drive thither the young cattle and colts, and drive them back again. It was a wild aud rockv upland, where our great pasture “jny® I** 1 om home, the rood to it run ning by a brawling river, and up a dashing brookside, among the great hills.

This is the su preme moment of the day. This is the way so live; this is like the Swiss Family Robinson, and all the rest of my delightful acquaintances in romance. Baked beans, rye and Indian bread moist, remember— doughnuts, and cheese, pic ami root beer. What richness! You may live to dine at Delmonico’s or at Phillippe’s, in the Rue Montorguell, in Paris, where the good old Thackeray used to eat as good a dinner as anybody, but you will get there neither doughnuts, nor pie, nor root beer, nor anything so good ns that luncheon at noon in the old pasture, high among the Massachusetts hills! Or will you ever, if|you live to be the oldest boy in the world, have any holiday equal to the one I have described. But 1 have always regretted that I did not take a fish line, just to “throw in” the brook we passed. I know there were trout there.— C. D. Warner, in Work and Play. Alligator Hunt in Ecuador. I Correspondence N. Y. Times.) Since I hare been ut Guayaquil there is noth ing I have enjoyed better than a good shooting excursion 1 had recently. It was not for doer, wild turkey, pigeons, ducks, &c., but to shoot some of the horrible-looking, monstrous alliga tors, or caymen, that infest the Riode Guaya quil. Some* little time ago, Senor Basndro, (deputado de Tacua,) Senor Camavaro, Captain Bening and myself left Guayaquil at 11 o'clock at night, with four men to pull our boat, armed with three first-class repeating rifles, provisions and blankets, and in fact all we required. The night was very dark, and we passed the time talking and relating anecdotes until about 8 o’clock in the morning, when we had arrived alongside of a balsa or raft, made fast to the bank of the river. This balsa was rooted over, and had walls of cane split and nailed perpen dicularly upon the sides of the house, which was well ventilated and had plenty of room lor rats and even mosquitoes to get in, large as they are in this part of the country. It was in this In dian Noah's ark that at three in the morning we laid down and tried to sleep a little before daylight, but were prevented by a little game that was being played by fifteen or sixteen pigs, several goats, a number of dogs and eats, and one or two monkeys that were chasing each other around the room. Sometimes a large pig or goat would playfully alight on a would-be sleeper’s face, which would of course gently arouse him, and if it was a balsero or raftsman that was roused up, he would swear very lit tle, composedly roll up a cigaretto, smoke it, and off to sleep again manfully; and I am sure that if a cigaretto was consumed every time any one was awoke (and I have reason to believe that to be the case) it must have required mil lions of them during the year, as there were twenty-four persons on the balsa. They were all of the same family, father, son and grand son, all married. All had children with them, who were sleeping on the balsa, which was di vided into two rooms. After having been aroused at least a dozen times we concluded at fi e o’clock to start for the scene of the day’s sport, which was about three miles distant. It was still very dark, the fide very low, and the boat was deeply laden with ten persons in it. We arrived at the grounds, where I proposed to s ay until daylight, but as we saw a small hut on the* bank of the creek, we decided to stop there to take coffee and something to eat before we went to work murdering the crocodiles. As soon as daylight appeared we pushed off from shore, and found that we had arrived at a place swarming with the hideous monsters. Although 1 have been up the bayous of the Mississippi and in Florida, both famed as haunts of the alliga tor, I never saw at either of the above places so many or such enormous specimens as I saw at the place where our boat was making lor the shore. In a few moments the boat grounded on a mud bank about two hundred feet from the bank of the bayou where the hut was situated, and as my companions were very anxious to get on shore, we called to the Indians to bring a canoe. My friends went and I stopped alone in the boat. The canoe had scarcely gone fifty feet from the boat before it was upset, (through the stupiditc of one of our boatmen), and uirie people were thrown into the water. They splashed and strugged and made so much noise, until they were in the canoe again, as to excite little fear that they would be molested by the alligators. Clothing dried, coffee taken", and we commenced our onslaught in earnest The first we saw was a fine, full grown fellow on the bank of the creek, about three feet above the level of the water. We all fired together, at a distance of only twenty-five yards, and lodged four balls from our Spencer and Henry rifles into his enormous skull and shoulders! which killed him at once. Measur ing him we found him to be fifteen feet long, with a body as large in circumference as that of a full grown bullock. Leaving bim there, we proceeded up a small creek that lies on the left of Boca Yuagnache, and about a half a mile inside the Boca we managed to get within twen ty yards of a group of thirty, all lying side by side. We kept up a continual fire* upon them from our repeating rifles until twenty-five of them were dead or wounded, the remaining five escaping, we supposed, uninjured. The wound ed, as soon as hit by a ball, would make a des perate rush for the water, leaving a bloody spot in the mud behind them, while the untouched would steal, or rather sneak, into the water as slowly as possible, and although the balls would splash the mud all around them, still they would not accelerate their movements, but would slide easily down the soft mud until their yellow grey ish eyes only were above the water, and there they would wait and watch you. We put many a ball that day into their ugly, scaly visages as they floated on the surface of the muddy stream and glared at us. In one instance we killed an immense fellow with about fifteen balls, and tried to cut off his head as a trophy, but found it too tough for the sharpest knives, About a mile still further up this creek, we saw the water fairly covered with mud-colored beads of the monstrous brutes. Had I not witnessed the spectacle before I could hardly have believed that there were as many alligators in all South America as I saw in this little bayou. In another place we counted fifty-four of the largest I have ever seen, and we singled out the largest of them a* a mark for our rifles. The great fellow rose up from among the group as soon as he saw us, and crawled silently into the water, and swam or floated away. This huge fellow we sup posed was the king of the group, as the others immediately afterwards followed him. We had better luck with the “queen/’(supposed to have been, as she rose soon after her royal husband had taken to the water, but seven bullets went crushing through her head, and she fell dead a few feet from the water, covered with blood. We pushed in the boat to see if we could not get her into the water, but she was such an enormous brute, we could not move her head. It the mean time the alligators' ugly snouts were appearing m the water outside of the boat in great numbers, and so fast did they rise that for the first time we became alarmed for our safety, and feared that they would attack the boat. We loaded and fired our repeaters as rapidly as we could. The water soon became dyed with blood, while the brutes lashed it iu their agony with their tails until it foamed. Finally the}* were driven off, and we started for Guayaquil with a dead alli gator in tow, after the best day's sport I ever experienced. Malecon. How Free Trade Work*. [From the Evening Mail.] Chicago, Aug. 21,1871. On reading your editorial this evening on Canada and free trade, it brought to my mind some particulars which occurred a few weeks ago while visiting Detroit. Having some leisure on Sunday afternoon l stepped aboard the ferry boat and crossed over to Windsor. Your read ers will bear in mind that Windsor is opposite in Canada, about five minutes sail from De troit, and enjoys all the blessings of free trade, while Detroit suffers under the tyranny of protection. As I have always desired to get practical illustrations on the questions of pro tection and free trade, I thought here are two countries equal iu climate, soil, etc. Now the conditions of these people, so near each other, would give me a good idea which afforded the largest amount of prosperity to the largest number of people; to get at which I thought best to ask citizens of the respective countries. Getting off the boat I fell in with what seemed to be a pretty fair specimen ot the Joint Bull Kanuek. 1 said: “Live here, sir?” Kanuek—“Yes, sir.” Correspondent—-“ Times pretty good here?” Kanuek—“No, sir; every second able-bodied man leaving.” Correspondent—“ Where are you going to!” Kanuek—“Over to the states.” Correspondent—“ That’s bad. Can't you find work for them here?” Kanuek—“No. Look around you. Here is Windsor, and not a house going up, and you can see it looks as though a shingle had not been disturbed since the flood. You can hire all the men you want for seventy-five cents per day, in the states the same laborer gets Correspondent—“Wliat'e the cause of that?” Kanuek—“Don’t know. It looks as though we’d all have to go over to the states.” I started towards the Sulphur Springs, whi°h is about three miles down the river, and got talking to the proprietor of the hotel. Correspondent —“Nice hotel. 1 suppose it pays well Landlord—“ Well, things are so dull l cannot say how it does yet. Wc have to depend on the states for patronage, and it is not welt known yet.” Correspondent—“ How much better would it be for you to have your springs over in the states?” Landlord—“ Better! I would give SSOOO to have it just across the-river.” On ray return to the boat I fell in with a farmer, and as I desired to find out Irom that object of free trailers’ love what was their con dition under free trade, I readily drew him into conversation. 4 64 $-3,500 United Hiatcs Kivc-twenties. 1867 IUH 10 Cheshire railroad *4 4 60 Eastern railroad 109 X 50 Eastern ranroad.
