To Crystalize Flowers.

Construct some baskets OF

The coIors will then be pre-
served in their original beauty.

Northwest Fires.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 28

Captain A. j. Longworthy.
agent for the Milwaukee reliet
committee, has returned from
a visit to the burnt district Of
the northwest, where he has
been to investigate certain
reports of fraud and misappro.
priation, all of which he found
to be false, and started by
unscurupulous parties, who
had not suffered by the fire,
but who had applied for aid
aud been refused. The
Captain found everything
working well at an the dis:
tributing points, where much
had been done and where a
great deal is yet to be done.
The relief committee, in con.
junction with the Governor,
are now directing their at.
tention to providing seed for
the spring, and a circular will
soon be issued on this point.
In travelling over the
blackened wilderness, Mr.,
Longworthy gathered many
interesting accounts Of the
great tornado, and the people
who were left to tell the terri.
BILE tale Of that terrible night
Of the 9Th, believed with one
accord that the seventh seal
was opened and the contents of
wrath being scattered over the
fated land.
An Fdeu of the great heat
may be imagined from the fact
that in the potato field at
WIlliamville, where fifty.nine
dead bodies were found, the
potatoes near the surface of the
ground were all roasted, and
those that were some six inches
under ground were partially
roasted. ReAains Of domestic
animals Of all kings, and deer,
wolves and bears are scattered
over the district. But the
ndomitable energy that
pcrvades the people of Chicago
is seen here, and as Peshtigo
fifty houses have already been
erected, and with the assistance
they will have during the
winter, they will be in COM
parativeIy good shape to CON-
mence the spring business.
