Dispatches from Port Huron, Mich,
state that the forest fires have spread over the
entire counties of sanilac and Huron; carrying
death and destruction in their track; destroy
ing homesteads and everything combustible.
Hundreds of families are rendered without
covering for their heads, and escaped with
nothing but the clothes they had on. The
present blaze is even more disastrous than the
terrible fires of 1871, which swept over the
same locality, doing great damage to life and
property. As far as heard from at present,
the extent seems to be about as follows The
village of Deekevalle, situated on the Port HUI
ron and Northwestern railway, is totally con
sumed. Anderson Station is partly burned. In
Mendon the only loss was the elevator. Port
Hope, on the shore, was nearly all burned.
Verona Mills, in Huron county, is oil destroyed
but the church and store, Bad AK is all gone
but the court house and hotel. Sanduskv is
totally destroyed. Richmondville is totally con-,
sumed and its frightened inhabitants are fly
ing to Port Sanilac for safety Charleston is
totally consumed The fire is raging in the
western part of Forestville and the people are
all moving to the lake shore. In Watertown
township two entire families were burned
to death, and their charred remains lie
upon the bare, blackened fields. The mail
carrier from Morlette to Bad AK is re-
ported lost. The mail-carrier from Sandinske
to Carsonville reports he saw four dead
bodies on his route, and the horrible truth
remains only partially told. George Ayreheart
and his wife, grandmother, two children and a
grandchild were burned to death. Terror
reigns in the heart of the whole country, some
people not even going to bed. In the day it is
so densely dark and smoky as to render breath
ing troublesome and cause harm to the eyes.
Lamps are kept constantly burning. 1t is i'm
possible to learn the full extent of the terrible
calamity, as there is no mail and the telegraph
wires are burned down from Forester to Point
