ILooD-RED RIVERS AND BROOKS.


The rivers and brooks were blood-red from
the reflected flames. In some places the wa
ter was steaming hot Thousands Of fishes,
snakes, birds, and squirrels persisted and aoated
upon the surface The crags and rocky walls
of the mountain-sides were baked by the in
tense heat and many ofthe bolders are cracked
and crumbled Here and there are bones Of
wild animals land some other cattlel tell the
story of the holocaust tragedy. The deep
gorges and ravines seemed like miniature
gates of the bottomless pit-gaping out fierce
flames, smoke, and heat Where the trees
were dry and piles of wood and bark had been
stored there arose vast volumes of white and
red flames towering toward the sky. Such
was the terrifying influence of the sight that
the dumb beasts the horses and cattle, in the
vicinity fed in alarm, and the night echoes
were resonant with their bleatings, neighs and
lowing.

A SCENE OF DEsoLATIoN.

The whole country thereabout presents
scene of utter desolation. During the height
of the conaagration the country for a long
stretch of miles was overhung with dense
clouds of smoke. At some points cinders and
chat fioated about in the air currents and
we.e scattered in showers over the villages
and farms, in several instances kiudling into
flames upon barns, fields, and dwellings
The population was all in commotion and ter

The Mountain Holocaust.

Additional intelligence in regard to the great
forest confagrations in Sullivan, Orange,
Delaware, Duchess, and Madison counties of
this State has been received. Never before
have these mountain fires ragged so furiously
or extended over 50 large an amount of terri
tory. 1t is generally believed, by persons llv-
ing in those counties, that the confagration
was started by the hand of an incendiary.
THE LOSS.
Usually these ires-which more or less oc-
cur every spring-have been confined to dis
tricts Of limited extent and value, but this
spring they have ravaged thousands of acres
of valuable woodland, destroying millions Of
trees and cords of cut wood, logs, ship joints,
and bark. The loss, as far as it has been as
certained, is estimated at over S5,000,0O0,
not one cent Of which is covered by insurance.
For the most part the fires have been confined
to the mountains, but have covered in their
march an extent Of territory one hundred miles
in length.

1t has been insisted that the monopolist and

false pretense Of revenue, $4,000, 900 yield

West virginia Election.

The atage about "the best laid schemes Of
mice and men," finds torcible veri6catiou in
West Virginia. The state was created ex.
pressly to be radical. But for the hope Of
a permanent fixture Of two radicals in the U.
5. Senate the constitutional outrage Of forci-
bly, scvering the odd Dominion would new
er have been thought Of But republics are
provcrbially nngrateful, and West Virginia,
MS republic ofpurely radical invention, turns
to plague her inventors.
At the state election in West Virginia last
week, the radicals were beaten horse, foot
and dragons" All the congressman elected
are democrats; both branches of the lcgisa-
ture are democratic, insuring the election of a
democrat to the U. s. Senate. in place, Of
Wiley and the state has given from 5000 to

In Ohio; it swept Indiana it carried Chicago
last year by $4,000 majority and saved the

Hon. John Wentworth to congress this year
by handsome vote over c. B. Farwell, a
faro bank hero, radical politician, and one of
Grants pets.
Reform is needed everywhere. and the hon
est men of the republican party are beginning
to appreciate its absolute necessity. This sea-
son nearly every one Of the radical conven.
lions has broken up in row or ended in a
storm OF bitterness. Cook was not allowed to
address the convention that nominated him
the convention that nominated Merriam over
Cullom, at Springfield, lasted five DAYS, and
was denounced by radical newspapers as "a
disgraceiul dog fight" 1t is nothing unusual
to see double sets of radicals running for con-
gress, the state senate and legislature all over
the state.
The radical party is falling to pieces OF gen
eral decay and rottonncss. 1t is war of the
masses against the radical politicians and dem.
agogues. The radical party has filled Its
mission.

The Horse ana the OK.

Some writer in the Republican of Thursday
labors to be very facetious in an article headed
" Reddick's Stud" The article is more in
genlous than ingenusus. The design of the
writer is to create the impression in the public
mlnd-if the public mind can comprehend
such far-fetched and muddy igures-that Mr..
r. is not sincere either as democrat, a tenn
perance man, q christian or q labor man. lIr.
Reddick is too we'll known to need to care
fig for what any writer in the Republican may
say or insiuuate to his disadvantage. The ar
tcle in question assigns to Mr.. R., fguratively,
the character of an accomplished EQUESTRIAN
riding several horses at once, and yet doing it
gracefully and successfully, and winning the
plaudits of the people.
The horse is the nOblest of all ANIMALS un.

ted in prose and in poetry in song and story.
In that best of all books, the Bible, who
will forget him, with his neck clothed with
thunder. The glory OF his nostrils is terrible.

But what of the Bull? What Bull was ey.

they were beaten. Chat, too, was before the

that was for bad and wicked end. There
was bull once got into China shop, (the
senate,) and broke things at fearful rate.
We know Of no other bulls except the little
