RELIEF FOR THE DESTITUTE.

The terrible CONGREGATIONS in the North
west have resulted in far greater loss of
life, and in entailing greater sufferings
than the terrible calamity at Chicago. We
give, in another column, upon the highest
authority, an account of the terrible de-
struction of lives caused by the sweeping
fire-fend in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The great restitution thus Occasioned calls
aloud for relief. Every city, town and
hamlet must do its duty. We need to
open cur hearts and hands, and send help
to these suffering thousands. Let our peo
pie go to work, for we assure them their
aid is needed. We have read page after
page narrating these disasters, so much
more than we have space for, that we can
only say, but few realize the extent of
these misfortunes. The Cincinnati Ga
sctte says on this point:
The horrors of the great timber fires have
been so gradually accommodating that it is quite
doubtful if the country realizes that throughout
vast regions of Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota there has been destruction by fire of
property and of life perhaps unparalleled in our
history.
We have before US papers from Michigan and
Wisconsin, and also the Minneapolis Tribune.
We speak without the least exaggeration when
we say that column after column is taken up
with accounts of the devastations of the wood
fires Whole counties have been desolated.
Acres on acres, miles on mites of timber land
have been laid waste. Property whose value
can only be estimated by the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars has been destroyed The houses
that dotted the country have been swept away
lives that are counted ne longer by the tens, but
by the hundreds have been lost
When we realize that in these extreme
Northern sections the winter begins with
November, aid that even the early breezes
of October are cold and penetrating, we
can better appreciate the necessity of
prompt relief. The winters there are long
and severe, and many houseless sufferer
will perish unless some aid reaches them.
We hope the people of East Tennessee will
not suffer this great appeal to pass unheed-
ed. We have not great abundance, but
we can nevertheless give. Let our people
organize, and let every town and district
resolve to send something. We hope the
work already begun here will be pressed
forward, and that all classes will cheerful
ly aid in the great work.

BEAUTIFUL SITES FOR

Market Gardens, Vineyards, and:
SMALL FRUIT FARMS

WE have recently divided +" BrOOkside
Farm which lies less than half q mile from
the northern limits Of the city, into tracts Of
about fUe acres each, fronting on broad
avenues sirty-sir feet in width, trhich ,CiH
be opened aOhen necessary to the CONVENIENCE
Of purchasers. The locations are uery fine
for SUB URBAN RESIDENCES, as the
sites are eleUdted, overlook O large ertent Of
country, and command q fine riey.
The soil is in q high state of cultivation
and is tOeU adapted for Market Gardens
or Fruit purposes. The grotUing Of the
small fruits s0Ould l7dyhdndSoneIy here, as
the demand is good and the supply Ucry
limited. To those of oar correspondents
Who hare t0ritten as regarding sites for
fruit-raising, this affords fine opportunity
for securing choice locations not heretofore
available.
Parties dOig 6ustn eSs an the city ca ind
on this tract delightful situations for resi-
deRces, and its short distance from tOWn
enables one to escape the heat and dust Of
the city and at the same time Ire Withm
easy reach Of has business and q tract Of
fUe acres can be purchased for less than q

Property IN this vicinity is rapidly increasing

DESTITUTION In CHICAGO.
Some Interesting Facts.

CHICAGO, October 15.-It commenced
raining here at o'clock yesterday morn
Ing, falling quite heavily for two hours,
ana then drilling showers prevailed.
Never was rain from heaven more grateful.
The dust from the unsprinkled streets and
the ashes which covered the burnt district
like pail of snow, have filled the air to
the dreadful discomfort of everybody.
The atmosphere, too, has been so dry
and hot that breathing was difficult. The
parched lips and bloodshOt eyes of every
one compelled to be out of doors atteSted
the furnace-like heat. The apprehensiOns
felt by the waterless inhabitants of the I'M
burnt portion Of the city, in regard to
further confagration, have been greatly
allayed by the timely showers. The
heavens are still overcast, and it is hoped
there will be still more abundant rain, and
that it will be widely extended. The rain
has extinguished the flames in the wood
and lumber yards and the latent fire in
the coal yards. Many thousand tons of
coal are saved, and apprehensions Of fur
ther danger from the fire no longer exist
The Sabbath has been recognized in
marked manner in all the churches left
standing. In many instances two and
three congregations of different religious
tenets have worshipped in the same edifice
at different hours.
THE BANK VAULTS.
The opening of the vaults and safes con-
tinues to be prosecuted as rapidly as posi-
bic. In most instances, so far, the con-
tents have been found more or less In a
perfect state of preservation. In some
cases heap Of charred leaves and melted
Tin boxes are all that are found.
The Republican safe is one of this class,
only four of thirty or forty books contained
dc
cash box inside the safe shared the same
fate.
The vault of the custom house was
opened to-day. 1t contained 81 100000 in
gold and S2,000,00 in greenbacks. The
gold was melted into an almost solid mass,
but is safe in the shape of bullion. The
greenbacks were entirely consumed.
THE DEsTITUTION.
CHICAGO, Oct. Is, 1871.
Hon. Il. S. Davis, Mayor
My DEAR SIR: | am quite well satisfied
that Mayor Mason never wrote the tele-
gram asking for potatoes, vegetables and
flour, as he yesterday informed me that
they had no need of such articles at present.
They do need covering for ladies and chill
dren also, to make five thousand muslin
sheets for beds, as hundreds of invalid fe-
males have nothing on them but the rough
gray blankets. We also want donation OF
woman's cloaks, wooden stockings and, in
fact, everything that women would re-
quire who were called at midnight to flee
for their lives with no time to dress them
selves Do not, under any circumstances,
let the idea obtain a toothold that contri-
button of clothing should cease. If you
could see the desolation, as l have seen
it, and witness the scenes of woe and abso-
lutte want to be seen everywhere, your
heart would be reused to the deepest SYM
pathy, and your voice would unite with
mine in asking relief for this deeply strick-
en- people, Yours, with respect,
L. G.. HOPKINS,
Chairman Committee on Supplies from
| Cincinnati.
