The FIRES on the prairies, north and

were burnt down near FenniInore Grove,
one belonging to Mr.. Evans, and another TO
M. Rowe. Many stacks of hay were also
burned up. Mr.. Sinclair lost eight tons and
two horse wagon, which was loaded with

at this inn, with span of horses and wagon,
which was laden with merchandise for MIR.
Bliss and others at Madison. A black leath-
or trunk was also on the wagon, bearing the
initials, g w. +. c. The individual took
dinner, stayed about three-quarters of an

ten a small package at Mr.. Coles, about nine
miles on the road from this to Milwaukee,
he started off in that direction on foot, re-

landlord, leaving his team Embarrassed and
without any directions concerning them, and
has not been heard from since, although con-
siderable inquiry has been made. He did
not give his name, but stated that he lived in
Madison. Mr.. Il. would Judge him to be
about 40 years of age, and Is feet 8 inches
in height, has fiorid complexion, black eyes,
