Hom Governor seymour Llres,.. !.


A correspondent of the New York
Sun recently paid visit to the DEM
ocrat nominee, at his residence near
Utica and thus records his obserya-
The Governor" as the Democratic
nominee, is Familiarity known by all
his friends and neighbors-and that
includes pretty much everybody in
this region" the Governor" resides
in plain unpretending farm cottage,
overlooking the city of Utica. Some
thing in the outward appearance ofthe
architecture, something in the pastor
al air that surrounds it, something in
the approach to it, and in the view
from the verandah that stretches along
its front-something there is in all
these features of the Governors home
that, while not affording particular
points of resemblance, inevitably calls
to ones mind Mount Vernon. A snug
little farm of about three hundred and
fifty acres surrounding the rural re-
treat has been the property of Mr..
Seymour and his ancestors for half
century. The house in which the pro-
prietor now resides was built for
| tenant of the farm, and when, a few
years ago, Mr.. Seymour grew weary
of law and sought privacy and retire
ment, few alterations and repairs
rendered the place amply imposing
and sufficiently accommodating for his
own wants and those of his family.
A fine grove ofaneient trees surrounds
the house, affording an inviting shade,
while walks and drives are abundant
without materially encroaching upon
the usefulness of the soil. The house
is furnished in keeping with its own
outward appearance, its surroundings,
and the well-known taste and charac-
ter OF its occupants. An air OF rehned
COMFORT prevades the who.e. From
the verandah view is obtained well
worth long journey to enjoy. Down
the green slopes and across the rich
meadows of the Mohawk valley, all
| covered at the time with toiling farm
ers fastening to secure the everabund-
ant crop of hay, taking in the entire
city of Utica and all its surroundings,
stretching far up or down the Mohawk
the view is finally lost in the blue dis
tance far up the picturesque Chenango
valley, the opening to whichis directly
opposite. '' l,y sa's'

for the inopportuneness of my call,
and remarked that had supposed him
to be country gentleman of leisure,
He simply smiled, told the men not to
cut any more grass, but haul in what
they had down, and invited me INTO

of. smoke which are brought here by north
erly winds would be ample information of
the immense fires which are rgeing on. For
a week past the whole atmosphere has been
thick with smoke, even to the obscuring OF
sthe sun at times
) Along the Peninsula railway, the flames
are still ragiag. Upwards of 5000 cords
of wood adjoining the woods have been
burned.
On both sides of the bay the volumes of
smoke tell of the conaagrations which are
going on. The Sturgeon Bay Adrocate
says:
The fires in the woods this spring, ow-
ing to the dry weather, have been very dis
astrous to farmers and others At Bailey s
harbor q barn, containing span Of horses,
AID shanty, all belonging to Mr.. Thomas
Scott, caught FIRE on the morning of the
/ lth inst, from the woods. Nobody being
near at the time, the shanty, barn and
horses were totally Consumed, entailing q
loss on Mr.. Scott of about $1,000. On
Monday of last week barn belonging to
Mr.. John Stoneman, of Forestville, saught
fire and burned to the ground. Mr. Tan
sing, OF Naswaupee, had four acres of wheat
destroyed by the fire, and Mr.. ". II.
Wead, Of this place, lost number of rail-
road ties. Fences in all directions have
suffered. The nights have been lit up by
the reflection of the fires that haye been on
all sides Of US"
The Negaunee Necs of the 2lst says:
n The fires in the woods continue burning
up to the present writing, and our village is
completely surrounded with flames. Con.
siderable damage is being done by the fire
to the west of US. At Clarksburg, some
wood belonging to the Michigan Iron COM
pany was set on fire and about 800 cords of
it buried, and three small houses, a,so the
property of the company, were consumed.
The fire is causing considerable trouble
along the line of the Mississippi and Ohio
railroad, west of Greenwood, and if We do
not soon get some rain there is no telling
the amount of damage That may be done.
The fires have been 80 heavy east of De-
pere that the Mani.owoc road in that direc-
tion was impossible on account of burned
trees fallen across it, The destruction of
timber is immense.
?. S.-A welcome though moderate rain
commenced on Tuesday niqht, and con
tinues as we go to press. Aside from the
great good it viii do in relieving the coun-
try from the impending drought, there is
reason to believe it will extinguish the de-
vastating fires which are now raging in the
woods through the region between here
and Lake Superior.

Fire in the Woods.

From the Green Bay Advocate, May 26.
Our travelling correspondent writes US
from Negaunee Of the great fire which! is
raging through the iron regions north of
here. s
The accounts have received of the re-
cent fire at Days River are perfectly as
tonlshing and almost past belief. Parties
that saw it described it as vast whirlwind
in the shape of funnel travelling through
the woods at railway speed, setting fire to
and burning everything in its way. The
first pile of wood the fire struck about p.
m, contained over 1000 cords OF green
beech and maple, cut last winter. The
wood was one sheet of flames in an instant.
Water was on the piles in about fifty ba-
rels put there in case of fires. and the snow
and ice melting from under the wood gave
them plenty more, which was put on with
out seeming to have any effect, such being
the force Of the fire. Help was SUNNI oned
from Escanaba and Negaunee; six trains
were on the track, aud all the help they
had besides this, they were unable to get
command of it until two o clock next morn
ing At aoout three o clock the fire was
heard coming back from the peninsula
They Immediately despatched all the force
they could spare, to a pile containing about
600 cords short wood, two mics above the
fire. They had no sooner arrived there and
taken their station before the hurricane
struck the wood and set it on fire before a
hand could be raised. Such was IFS force
that it jumpcd clear across small opening
and the railroad track before it struck the
wood. Many men had their WHISPERS aud
hair singed by the heat. But very few
cords in this pile were saved. | saw moth

These mills have been in operation but a

jority of the wooden mills of the west, as every
person who has worn any cloth manufactured
at this establishment will testify. Villas &
Co., the proprietors, belong to that class Of
with all mankind. We therefore have no hes
fancy in urging our wool-growers, farmers,
mechanics and merchants to patronize the

will be honorably dealt by, either at the mills
or at the store, as Mr.. Villas the head of the
