UNPRECEDENTED DROUTH AND DE-
STRUCTJVE FIRES.
From n, Pr.do.ia tC.au,auqye TO-, Ce-.o,

From The Prsdorid (Ch1pfdu2y< COY Ct-sor
There las not been season since the settlement OF
our country, when little RAIN has fallen az during
the present. TIE streams lower than they have
been before within the memory Of the Oldest inhab't-
ant Springs and wes that have never before failed,
now dry. The grass in the pastures and meadows
il killed and being dry tnder, burns with the
greatest rapidy. In consequence, we have this week
to chronicle the occurrence of fires which have caused
immense destruction Of property. For several days
during the past week, the air was filled with smoke
from the burning woods.
On Thursday the wind was high, and citizens
were called out by the ringing Of bells to assist the resi-
dents in the vicinity Of Van Buren, Harbor IN repclnS
the flames which threatened their dwellings. SO Tar as
we learn, but one house in our town was burned
which was occupied by Mr. :. n. Underwood, aud was
situated on the Berry road near its junction with the
LakeshOie road. SO rapid was the advance OF the
fsnes in the dry grass Of the meadows that Mr.. I'm
dsrwood had TO take his family in wagon and dnve
rapidy 10 escape them. The house and barn on the
premises which wGs also consumed were owned by
Mr. Ira Risley
The following il a summary Of further Losses in the
vicinity Of Van BureD Harbor, and along the line OF the
railroad a. We have learned them: Two barns, and all
the hay, grain and ionces the premises of Allen
Freeman. n 600; one barn, hay and grain. owned by
Isaac Selleck 81 900; 20 tons of hay and FIVE miles Of
fence by j. z. d X. II. Hall, 900 one barn aud
bay fence and timber by Hensn s. Searns, 81 500;
timber and fence the late Levi Sellecks estate,
81 COO; timber and wood sawiog machioes, by llian
Ridley Of this village, 81 900; timber and itnce by
smith Wibor 81 900; timber and fence by Chandler
Todd. - COO wood and fences by Buffalo and State
Line Railroad Company, y, 600.
The total, a. above given. amounts to sl7,JOO. In
cluded in the property destroyed was about 100 tuns
Of hay and ten miles of fence The number OF acres of
timber have not learned. The fires are still burn
ing in the woods though recent showers have partially
checked them.
In the south part Of the town we learn that Mr.. Lu
the Franck lost about $50 in the destruction of wood
and fences, and Benz. Cornell and George G.. Rood
about the same amount. The buildings were in great
danger, but were saved.
We hear that fires have ragged in other parts Of the
county and in Cattaraugus, but have not learned the
particulars Of the damage.
