Mass, has issued the following appeal: " The
recent appalling calamity, involving the loss of
lag able-bodied men, with thirteen vessels of
our shipping fleet, occasioning fiity-seven indi-

Horrors of n Prairie Fire.

a Topeka (Kan.) correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat writes: Another
terrible prairie fire is reported from Bit
tie Creek, north of Lincoln Center, Lin
coin county, which destroyed everything
in its path, and resulted in the death of
three persons. 1t appears that about
four o'clock in the afternoon Mr.. Mont
gomery, one of the well-to-do farmers of
that section of the county, and his son, q
boy of about twelve, were in the field at
work, when they discovered fire COM
ing from the west, and they stopped
their work to keep the fire from the
hedge, when the wind suddenly changed
to the north, blowing very hard and
and cold, and bearing before it a second
fire, which came with the feetness of a
horse. 1t seems there were two fields
near, on either side, and, seeing their
danger, the boy started to one field and
the father to the other. The boy was
caught in the flames and fell to the
ground instantly. A neighbor by the
name of Isaac Pfaff, who was passing
near on mule, galloped up to Mr..
Montgomery and induced him to mount
the mule behind him and ride to the
field. Mr.. Montgomery mounted, but,
seeing his boy fall, lost all presence of
mind and threw his arms around Mr..
Pfaff, catching the bride reins and
holding the mule still while they were
enveloped IN the flames. Both men
dropped to the ground, and the fire
passed over them. The mule ran a short
distance and fell dead. The two men
arose to their feet, and the wind and the
fire took their clothing from them as
they walked to the nearest field about
one hundred yards distant. Mr.. Pfaff's
feet were so badly burned that his boots
fell from him as he walked. A Mr..
Manning came to them from the nearest
house with couple of quilts, which he
wrapped about the two men and carried
them to the house. He then carried the
dead boy to the house. Both men were
perfectly rational, and conversed freely
with those around them up to within a
few hours of their death. Mr.. Mont
gomery lived about two hours, and Mr..
Pfaff lived until about eleven o'clock
that night. Mr.. Montgomery leaves a
wife and seven children, most of whom
are grown; Mr.. Pfaff leaves wife and
one child, having buried two children
quite recently, one just day previous to
losing his own life while attempting to
save that of another. Both were we'll
TODD and highly-respected farmers. Mr..
Montgomery was about forty-fve or fif-
ty years of age, and Pfaff about thirty.
The fire burned one mule, two horses,
several head of hogs, about two thou
sand bushels of corn, and considerable
other grain belonging to Mr.. Montgom-
cry, and his stable and house. with
everything in them, the family barely
escaping with their lives.

account of the condition of the population Of

sitting naked like wild beasts, eating roots and
suffering with the endurance OF despair. The
madness worked on by famine stamps such a
brand on the starving peasants as cannot be
easily described. In one town women and
children fought over scraps of bread like wild
animals. The case is believed to be still worse
in the inland hamlets where the villagers are
said to be starving like dogs.

AS IN our busiest and most popuIous cities OF

Btters is prominently popular. Wherever
civilization plants its foot on this continent,
thither the great tonic soon finds its way.
Nor is this surprising for it is the medicine OF
all Others best adapted to the wants OF the
Western emigrant, be he miner or agricultur-
list. 1t is an incompatible remedy for the
diseases to which he is most subject and which
are liable 10 be brought on by change of eli
mate, hardship exposure, unaccustomed air
and diet, and miasmastic atmosphere and water.
Among these are disorders OF the stomach and
bowels, rheumatic ailments, and malarious
fevers, for all OF which Hostetter's Bitters is u
certain specific. A course of the Bittcrs before
departing for the new field of labor, or on ar
irving, will have the effect OF preventing the
evils for which il is such a signal remedy
