GREEN BAY, Oct. 4.-The fires that prevail
in SIX or seven of the northwestern counties
OF wisconsin have never had a parallel since
the settlement of the country. The drought
which prevailed early in August, dried up the
springs, streams aud vegetation and parched
the ground to such depth below the surface
that the soil itself burns and living trees are
1allng from the action of the fires which I'M
dermlae them. All outstanding property is
swapt away, there being no water available to
stop the hres. Barns and their contents, hay
stacks, corn, wood aud other property with
hundreus OF miles OF fences are burned as nc
assistance can be offered to the approaching
fires.

THEATRE.-The third performance of Rose
dale drew very fair audience last evening
The acting seems to improve with each sue
ceedng performance, as the actors become bet
ter acquainted with their parts. The
second scene in the fourth act and the grand
tabeau at its close are particularly effective.
During the evening the orchestra, under the
leadership of NJ Muller, performed some OF the
very choicest selections from eminent compos-
ers, in a very charming manner which was
alone worth the price of admission. This
evening will positively be the last opportunity
to witness the performance of this splendid
drama, and all who have not seen it should
eagerly embrace this last opportunity, as it is
time that our citizens understood the fact that
Wessrs. Myers and Huntly are doing much for
the cause of the drama in this city.
