Such, Mcssrs. Editors, is the brief an

Territory of Wisconsin, where lac lived till

In the earlier history of this place he was
leading business man, and, as the writer
has heard him say, knew by name almost
every resident for 20 miles around As a
man and a ucighhor he was universally cs-
tccmed. With strict integrity and kind
heart, he combined to rare degree, a mirth-
fulucss and humor which made him to the
very last, an agreeable companion, even to
the youth.
But il was as n CbriStjoa that he left the

first an active christian, laboring with great
zeal and fidelity in the PRAYER meeting and

what Is called Graham's corner. com-
posed of smaller wooden buildings, clean.
1t then burned up as far as the old Var

the way up Centre street; half way up
Cotton street; half way up Cross, Union,
Temple md Exchange streets. 1t swept
down both sides Of First street to India

moved along diagonally across Middle
street and down TO Cumberland, taxing
the Elm House, but sparing the First
Parish Church; then from Chestnut street
20 North street 1t made a clean sweep

ana the same was the case with Congress
street aud everything else to First as far
east as India street, including half the
city.
by this conlltgration a large portion of
the Inhabitants of Portland are rendered
homeless and destitute Aid is solicited,
and, we are glad to say, chcerfully be
slowed from other places, so that it is
hoped the suffering will b, greatly dimin-
lshed. One thousand five hundred army
tents have been forwarded by the govern

until they can be otherwise provided for.
1t Is reported that this great calamity
was brought upon the people Of that city
by the careless use of Firccrackers by
needless boys.
