that the subscriptions to grade,

everything necessary to pre-
pare the bed of this road fol-

been II miles, subscribed for
and negotiations pending fol
full ten miles more, generally
to be paid for half in cash, in
monthly instalments as the
work progresses, and the re-
naming half to be paid in the
stock of the Company. AS the
enterprise now looks, if all par.
ties that are able would
promptly add literally to Their
subscriptions, it would be but
a short time until the Compa-
ny would be ready to COM

citizens of Vinton and Hook

the small amount required to

lay the whole work.
Let us build, own and con.

the assertion that we will have
the best dividend paying road,
for its length, in the State, and
the immediate result Of com,

but the first notice they had OF
it was a whirlwind Of flame,
lin great clouds, from ab6v6.the.
tops Of the trees, which fellup-
on and enveloped everything.
The atmosphere seemed one of
hre. The poor people inhaled
it or the intensely hot ain and
fell down dead. This is veri-
fed by the appearance Of many
of the corpses. They were
found dead In the roads and
open spaces where there were
no visible marks of fire near by,
with not atrace of burning up
on their bodies or clothing.
At the Sugar Bush, which is
an extended clearing, In some
places 4 miles. in width, corps
es were found in the open road,
between fences which were
only slightly burned. No
mark of fire was upon them,
but they laid there, as if asleep.
This phenomena seems to
explain the fact that so many
were killed In compact masses.
They seem to have huddled
together in what were evident.

where not touched. Fish were
killed in the streams-as at
Peshtigo.
We hear the universal testi-
mony that the prevailing idea
among the terror stricken peo.
pie of those places was that the
last day had come. They need
ed not to be terror.stricken for
such imaginings, What other
explanations could be given at
that imminent time, when there
was an ominous warning sound
coming from the distance,
when the sky, so dark just be-
fore, burst into great clouds of
fire, the beasts of the forests
came running for succor into
the midst of the settlements,
and a great, red, consuming,
roaring hell Of fire fell upon all
around. The dreadful scene
lacked nothing but the sound
ing Of the last trump-and in
deed the approach of the aw-
ful roaring and the premonitions
from the distance supplied
even that to the appalled, imag-
inings of the people.
The Epsy theory, we think
it is, that continued and wide
spread fires will bring on rain,
seems to be entirely exploded
in this instance. These fires
had lasted nearly Or quite four
weeks, ravaging forests over q
great area, and still not a drop
of rain. The rain only came
with a change of wind to the
northward, and several days
after the worst burnings were
