A Fearful Visitation.

1t pears that the first intimation the
residents Of the doomed village of Pesh-
tlgo received of the calamity that await
ed them was on the evening of Sunday,
after the close of the services at the
churches, when there was suddenly
heard roaring, rushing sound, likened
to the first distant mutterings of a
storm, or the hoarse murmur of an angry
sea. As this strange and terrifying
noise increased, the poor creatures seem
to have been aroused to Il presentlment
of coming danger. 1t may have been
listened to at first without serious APP
prehension, as the supposed precursor
of one of those fierce but comparatively
harmless sweepings of the wind that so
frequently piIss over the broad prairie
lands of the West But soon it began
to be realized that Il deadly heat was in
the breath of that horrible tornado, and
the warning reflection Of mighty con-
migration was cast over the scene. We
are told that electric flames shot through
the air that balls of fire fell like meteors
in different parts of the village, igniting
whatever they came i'll contact with, rs
though mysterious and relentless army
had been pouring "shot and shell.
fire of hell" over the devoted town.
We must leave to science to decide, in
calmer moments, whether the phenomena
SO wildly described by the excited suf
ferers had actually any existence, or
whether they We're only blazing PARTICLES
from the burning forests and prairies,
whirled along and famed by the driving
wind. The horror-stricken inhabitants
appear then to have first awakened to
the knowledge that destroying fire was
rushing towards their homes, borne up
on the wings of the tornado and in
stantly the peaceful village, Just settling
down to the repose of Sabbath even
ing, was a scene of terror and confusion
scarcely to he pictured in the magma
ton of those who were not witnesses
of the frightful calamity. Parents clasp
ed then children in their arms and fled
from their houses, knowing not in what
direction to seek for safety There was
no time to think of more Chan life, and
that, unfortunately, could not in many
hundreds of eases be preserved We are
told that the poor creatures flying in
terror We're in masy instances Tapped up
by the hangry flames and scorched and
withered and burned in their tracks.
But the details are too horrible for rep
etition.

Says "A correspondent, writing from
Chicago: Never was presented more
mournful scene rs last night | walked
through the desolate ruins of the South
Division of this city. In my front and
on my left were lurid flames, rising from
the great beds of coal along the banks of
the river, and here and there among the
ruins were little patches of flames, blue
or red, where, apparently, solid granite
and brick were yet ablaze. From all
these flames, arose n baneful light, that
dragged the ruins from the shadows of
the night and made every ragged remnant
of wall seem n monument of general
desolation. And these remnants were
by no means few. Stout walls of gran
lite had been blistered and cracked by the
fierce heat, but portions of many vet
stood erect amid the ruins. As far as the
eye could reach ON every side i'll the red
light of the distant coal fields, was II
chaos of smouldering fire. In the 81
lence and solitude came sense of DESC
latlon no other ruins could canse.
If the ruins are weirdly grand by
night, it is only by day that II correct
idea of the destruction which has been
wrought can be obtained The strong
light of day enables the eye to reach for
miles on every side, only to view the
wreck of what last week was a busy hive
of commerce. Imagine an area of 1900
acres severed with heaps of bricks and
ashes, with here and there the remnants
of a wall yet erect, to tell more plainly
the story of destruction. An area four

bulk of the wealth which Chicago had
accumulated. Stately buildings, devot,

an amusing absence Of dobrjS, for the
fire seems to have literally swallowed all
these huge houses, leaving nothing be-
hind but heaps of ashes. and a few scraps
of iron. had expected to find the streets
encountered with huge masses of bricks,
iron and other refuse but found them
almost entirely clear, and nowhere so
blocked as to be impossible for vehicles.
1t seemed as if the fire devoured the
buildings SO rapidly, that only insigniti-
cant fragments fell to the ground, and |
can readily believe the statement that the
flames spread from block t. block faster
than man could walk. But complete
ms is the destruction in the South Div
sion. it is as nothing compared with that
in the North division. There. with one
exception, everything is levelled even
with the streets. Not timber remains,
nor one single brick in its place. The
one exception is another marvel of this
great conhagration, as il is frame house
that was in the midst of the fire, and
vet il is scarcely touched.

The Crops in Ireland.

The news we receive from our special
correspondents in Ireland, as well as the
information otherwise obtained regard
ing the condition OF the crops in that
unfortunate country, is not at all en-
couraging The prospects are gloomy
enough to Justify the anticipation that
the poorer classes, especially those in
the country districts, will suffer severely
during the coming winter. The yield of
the wheat, oat and barley crops has de
creased, and comparison with that of
last year shows that the diminution will
be considerably lower than what was ex-
pected. The turnip crop has also fallen
off. To swell, as it were, the miseries
of the Irish tenant farmer, to add to his
misfortunes and render his difficulties
more perplexing, the potato blight has
has again visited his fields. In the south
it is estimated that one third of the yield
will prove bad, while i'll other parts we
are told that from one-half to two-thirds
of the present crop will turn out I'M
sound. This is melancholy record,
and the facts we record may he produc-
tive of new troubles among the poorer
classes. A plentiful harvest brings peace
and happiness to the cotter's home, hut
with short yields and diseased crops dis
content and disturbances are likely to
follow.-N Y H1uM.

New York Dry Goods Market.

A New York commercial paper gives
the following items relative to the dry
goods market in that city;
Blenchod sheetings and shirtings are
in good demand, aud the prices are
steady Int the sales ARE less active than
in unblcachcd goods
Printing cloths have advanced and
prices are firm. Sales have been made
of "a standards, first quality. in the gray,
at l-3 cts. for immediate delivery, and
contracts up to January ut : cts,
It is represented that the business in
prints for the last week has been restrict
ed by the small amount of desirable
styles in first hands. This is II remark
able circumstance at this season of the
year and il is very natural that prices
should not he merely firm, but tending
upward, There is an abundant supply
of inferior styles, which will prevent II
large advance,
Ginghams are without quotable change.
There is fair demand for the favorite
makes, but without special activity.
Cotton ilannels are selling more freely,
the demand being mostly for medium
and low grades. Prices are steady.
Corset jeans are not so active rs they
were, but there is moderately large
business doing in them at steady prices.
Cambrics continue firm in price, and
are likely to do so while the high price
of gray cloths continues.
Rolled jaconets are in better supply,
but prices remain unchanged.
Silesias are in steady demand, and
prices remain unchanged
In other departments of domestic cot
ton fabrics there is a steady business III
progress, fully up to the usual business
of the season, and prices are steadily
maintained at the quotations.
Muslin de laincs are selling freely, the
aggregate business of the week being
very large. Prices are unchanged.
Linseys are in limited demand The
sales of the weel, were UNEXPECTEDLY
small, but quotations have undergone ne
revision.
! The business in wooden shawls is active
but irregular, The demand for stripeC
patterns, which are the rage this year
gives animation to the trade, but in les'
desirable styles prices are lower.
Cloths, overcoatipgs, and doeskins arr
in rather better demand, but there is no
much animation, and prices are barrel,
sustained for the favorite makes
There has been considerable activity il
fancy cassimeres, and some large sale
have been effected but at reduced rates
The market is somewhat unsettled, an'
prices are undergoing the process of re
vision to "A considerable extent.
Satinets are not in active demand
but prices are unchanged for dcsirabl
grades
Blankets are selling freely for the sea
son, but without special act'vity. TIL
demand is principally for the inner quail
ties.
Flannels are in less demand, but price
are firm and unchanged since our lateS
quotations.
Foreign goods are without any materis

Journal, referring to Joaquin Miller's
statement in the preface to his new vol
upe of poems that he sings because he
could not help it, remarks when
he says he has sung because he could
not choose but sing, he utters an absur-
dity. He certainly needn't have sung
if he had not chosen to do so. If he
wants to break himself of the habit. let

Water in freezing turns ont of i. all that

makes fresh water ice. If you freeze a
