OSHKOSH, Wis, was visited by terrible
conhagration on the 2Sth. The fire CON-

principal business houses are located, and
extending OF the north line of the above linn
its southeasterly across Fifth, Waugoo and
other streets to Cape street, the south line
being the river, with the exception of block
or two about the foot of Main street. The
area burned over is about a mile and half in

had been carefully computed, as follows
