sB- Reports from the west are very eta
couraging in regard to the crops, The pa
pers in Wisconsin report that corn is grow
ing rapidly OF late, and the prospect now
is that there will be an enormous yield,
This will more than make up for the def.
cheney in the oat crop,
The Sparta Eagle reports that the corn
crop bids fair to be the best ever raised IN
that section of the country. Oats do not
turn out as good as was expected. In manly
places they are only about one.half crop.
The hop crop will be fair one,
cB- A curious and painful scene was wit
messed at the burning of mill ON Battle
Island, near Oswego, a few days ago. The
mill was the home of great tlocks of swal-
lows and pigeons, While the flames were
raging, the birds would circle above them
in tlocl1s, and then dash into them in a
body. Hundreds of them were found dead
on the ground after the fire. The birds had
nests in the mill, flied with young ones,
which they sought to defend.
o5y- The Peall Flour Mills, of Allegheny

$50, 900.

says: Fires are still burning in all direc-
tions. The distress and suffering are in.

in danger. The mills have closed and all
hands are out fighting the fire. A public
meeting is to be held to devise measures fol
relieving the distressed.

While the congregation Of st. PauPs
Chapel, Vesey street and Broadway, n.
Y, were engaged in prayer at the even
ing service on Sunday, the assemblage
was suddenly startled by pistol shot in
the gallery There was at once the utmost
CONSERVATION and confusion, heightened
by the fact that cries were heard of a
man having been shot.
When orders was restored it was found
that a man seated in the gallery had sud
denly drawn pistol and pointing at his
breast, fired it and fell to the floor He
gave his name as Edward Marqueny, a
native of Germany, aged so years, and
living at No. so Rose street. Having
been removed to the Office of Dir. Swan,
it was foand that no wound had been
inflicted with anything more deadly than
fine shot. lie said that he had lost his
wife. which preyed upon his mind, and
on this followed loss of employment and
destitution. He had, under these cir

GERS Of the church for aid, and failing to
receive it he determined to kill himself

Terrible Fires i'm Canada.

A letter from Ottawa, Canada, dated
August 18th giving an account of the
fires that had devastated the country says,
the fires that have ragged in the bush dur
ing the past three weeks approached the
settlements in the vicinity of this city last
night, almost wholly destroying them,
driving the inhabitants from their homes
and in the majority of cases almost with
out clothing, Several lives were repor-
ted to have been lost, and about 120
persons missing; they are probably hiding
in the creeks and rivers. About 30
persons arrived in this city to-day, burned
aud otherwise personally injured. Fires
are in some spots to the extent of forty or
fifty miles by twelve or fifteen wide, run
ming west and east, parallel to this city,
mostly on the other or north side Of the
river.
Hundreds escaped during the night by
running to the river and standing up to
their necks in the water, occasionally wet
ting their heads. Here and there were
awful scenes Scores of horses and cat
tie are described as having been driven
mad by the smoke ciuders and heat, and
plunged into the flames. Ths list of
farmers totally ruined, so far as is ascer-
tained, comprise some eighteen or twenty

presented for redemption. Since green
backs were introduced, the redemption, di-

WAR NEWS.

During the past week the reports Of
Che operations OF the French and Prus-
sian armies have been more conflicting
and contradictory than usual. Early in
The week dispatches announced with
great positveness that the invading army
had been obliged to turn back from its
R1acrh on Paris, in order to protect the
line of communication with its reserves.
Later accounts fatty contradict this asser-
tion, and state that the onward march
not only continues, but that there is
strong probability that another week will
find the Prussian army under the walls
Of the French capital. The French
armies under Bazaine and MacMahon,
have not been able to join their forces.
Saturdays dispatches assert that Bazaine
is besieged at Metz, with no chance for
escape. There is no doubt that a large
proportion of the stuff published in the
daily papers as " Foreign Dispatches" is
written in New York; it is the only way
10 reasonably account for 80 many con-
Trajectory statements, which all bear the
same date. If this is not the case, and
the Associated Press pay the full price
per word for all those " dispatches" they
are getting. most terribly swindled. But
by publishing glowing accounts of bat
tics one day it makes a demand for pa
pers, and the contradiction sure to follow,
creates another demand.
