The Forest Fires—The overwhelming calamity in Chicago, and the dispatches which have beeu constantly coming in, fraught with the latest intelligence from that ill-fated city, have withdrawn the attention ol the public from the extraordinary ravages of the same fiery element in Michigan, Minnesota, is consin, Iowa, Indiana, and elsewhere. Im mense fires have been raging in the western forests for the last tyro weeks. It is said that in Wisconsin the fires have had no parallel since the settlement of the country. I wo thousand square miles are reported to be swept by the flames. In Michigan it is sta^ ted that, five villages have been entirely and two partially destroyed. All that portion of the State cast of Saginaw hay, and north of a point forty miles above Port Huron, has been burnt ovpr anJ numbers of persons ha ye per ished. Scarcely a county in the Strte but has suffered {pore or less. The damage to the pine lands is incalculable. I here was a light rain on Wednesday, which seem to have checked the progress of the fires through the State. The fires have burned fiercely in the immense woods in some portions of Minneso ta. Wood and prairie fires, are also reported to be raging along the line of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago railroad, between New APanv, Ind., and Lafayette, on the North End road, destroying miles of fences, hay, grain in stack, corn in the field, houses, barns and cattle pens There had been a long and protracted drought in the West, and the flames went uver the country as if it were tinder. It is feared that the losses will prove enormous, and assistance is said to be needed nearly all through the Northwest where these fires have been raging. Base Wretches.—In many parts of the city which remain uuburned, bakers, grocers, and butchers, have raised tfie price of their stocks in tra.de to cruelly exliorbitant propor tions, and refuse under any circumstances to •abate a oent on their demands. Many of the landlords hgvp i|!so joined the army of ex tortionists, and no.v that shelter is required bv suffering humanity from the cold and daipp, refuse to allow their vacant houses to be occupied, except by payment, in advance, of fabulous monthly rent. One small five room cottage, in the West Division, which a f;w days go could only have been rented lor about twelve to fifteen dollars a month, could not be hired yesterday under seventy five dol lars a month, the landlord even congratula ting the persons who took the cottage oft his hands on having encountered so enterprising and generous a man as he A hundred in stances of this character can be quoted, but the above will suffice to illustrate the base ness of some specimens qt miscalled human ity.— Chicago Journal, The Wooden Pavement in Chicago Tho Nicolson pavement, lias been especially a Chicago institution. In the late conflagra tion ari eye-witness says that they burned like tinder—‘like pair ilium'’ would have been a better phrase. The New York Journal of Commerce says, "In the crowded pans of Nejv Turk this pavement should be ripped up at once, leaving us the security of solid, un inflammable ground until a first-class stone Davemeut can be laid. The Election Result.—-The Chicago calamity absorbed public attention last week tosueh an extent that tlh; returns from the im portant State elections hehl during the week almost passed without, not use. Returns are not vet complete, but those nHgady received show republican majorities of 4(HW0 in Iowa, 16.000 hi Pennsylvania, and 22,O0fNin Ohiq. In the latter State the Senate is reporfhA. to be tie, while in the hnu-n the repbubliean* have 13 majority. Tn California, full returps giveBooih (rep.) 5,00S majority for Governor, A Deluge in China.—There has been a great flood at Tien Tsm. It is estimated that 10 0 0 square miles were underwater, which occasioned great suffering. There has been terrible typhoons at. idqng Kong and along the coast. Several vessels were lost, and hundreds «f Chinese drowned The city of (long gow j.s threatened lyith inundation.

Rye lias been more generally sown the lust, year or two than formerly. It is really a more profitable crop than wheat, as the straw is of nearly as much value as the grain, and there is always a good demand for both.— Land too. not rich cue ugh for wheat will produce a full crop of rye. T1 e Shenandoah Democrat ,says that the recent township meetings in that county were such complete fizzles as to leave no doubt in tlio mind of any sensible man, that the people of that county will not support a nominee unless he suits iheui in all respects. Dr. II. M. Iieyser, of Page, is announced as a candidate for the State Senate in the Dis trict composed of the counties of Shenandoah and Page. There are two other Candidates —Gen. G S.

Time, and Drudgery• The Fatigue of Washing no Longer I)read qd) but Economy* 'Efficiency', and Clean Clothing, Sure. In calling public attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any other washing machine yet invented.) are here enumerated. It is the smallest, most compact, mo3t portable, most simple in construction, most easily opera ted. A child ten 3’ears old, with a few hour*’ practice, can thoroughly comprehend and eifeetu ally use it. There is no adjusting, no screivs tb anuoy, no delay in adapting! It is always ready for use 1 It is a perfect little wonder! It is miniature giant, doing more work and of a better quality, than the most elaborate and costly. On* half of the labor is fully saved by its use, and the clothes will last one-half longer than by :h'3 old plan of the rub board. It will wash the lar gest blanket. Three shirts at a time, washing thoroughly In a worcl, t|ie ablution of any fab ric, from a Quilt to a Lace Curtain or a Canibrio Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this LITTLE GEM! It can be fastened to any tub and taken off at will. No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against Washing Machines, the moment this* little machine is seen to perform its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and detractor at o*2e become the fast friends of the machine. We have testimonials without end, setting forth its numerous advantages over all others, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the uty: wieldly, useless machines, which have signally failed to accomplish the object promised in prom inent and loud sounding advertisements. It is as perfect for washing ns a wringer is for wringing. The price another paramount induce ment to purchasers, has been placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of domestic economy that will repay the small investment so soon. $5.50. All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR S.^ VER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each machine to do its work perfectly. Sole Agents for the United States. A- H.
