rains Friday night and Saturday were
not heavy enough to wet the under

actually ly known as to the real amount
of destruction, as there are hundreds
Of isolated settlements, and hundreds
Of miles in Pike, Wayne, Sullivan and
Monsoe counties where the fires have
been raging. The tract Of land on
Taylor creek, formerly owned by Hor.
ace Greeley, and the site Of the old
Fourierite Community, was swept of
Everything. Bears, deers, wild pig
con, and an kinds Of game, have been
driven by the. fires on.P Pocons range
into enclosures With tame cattle, and
around settlements in the regions of

gain headway, as wood standing is as
Idry as finder.
