Great Fires in Michigan.

The great forest fires in the State of
Michigan, caused by the very dry
weather, has created sad havoc with
everything that has come in their way.
The number of people who have been
burned to death is appalling, to say
nothing Of the destruction of crops,
buildings, timber, live stock, &c. The
following will give some idea of the
terrible suffering and devastations
caused by these fires:

Current Comments from State and
Eastern Shore Papers.


Last weeks Deiaiodre Ledger says:
Without presuming to question the
good faith of Clerk Marvel, Of the House
of Representatives of our State, the fact
OF his having awarded to himself print
ing contract in his character of publisher
is much to be regretted. 1t is setting
bad precedent. This is the way abuses
and corruptions begin. No man ought 10
be a judge in his own case. We cannot
think that Mr.. Marvel's own better judy
ment will approve OF his conduct in this
matter"
Press criticisms apon the Pennsylvania
Legislature move the DeidUdrean to the
following: "Unfortunately the chief
characteristic of journalism of late years
is q disregard TO- truth, and the reckless
ness with which it assails both public and
private character. The imputation OF
motives, misi representation Of facts and
suggestions of crimes are INDUCED
without coInpunction, and with wanton
disregard as to the injustice and injury
that may be done TO others. The license
awarded by the law and by public
opinion to the press is frequently per-
verified to the basest uses, less, perhaps,
from an intention to do wrong than an
inadvertance or Indifference to what is
right.
The ftRiHSuiur Meas and Advertiser
casually remarks ''Those who used the
argument during the session OF the Legis-
lature last winter that in the event of
purchase of the F., W. y Is. by other
companies that not only would Whining
ION get no new depot, but have the shops
there belonging to the railroad company
removed, can now consider how far right
they were. The shops remain, and the
new depot is going up rapidly, the roohng
being nearly all on"
Representative 4. n. Williams of Sea
ford says through his paper, the .SuSser
County hder: 1--WE are old fogy enough,
however, to believe that the political
machine is a bad invention that while 1t

gentleman of this place has tree
which is a species of acacia. 1t was
grown from seed brought from Australia.
The tree is now a sapling some eight feet
growing rapidly. 1t il legumnous and
very distinctly shows the characteristics
of the mimosa, or sensitive plant.
Regularly every evening, about the time
the "chickens go to roost, " the tree goes
to roost. The leaves fold together, and
the ends of the tender twigs coil them
selves up like the tail of well contlI-
toned pig. After one of the twigs has
been stroked or handled, the leaves move
uneasily and are in sort of mild com
motion for minute or more. All this
was known about the tree, but il was
only yesterday that it was discovered that
the tree had in it much more of life and
feeling than it had ever before been
credited with. The tree being in quite a
small pot, one which it was fast outgrow
ing, it was thought best to give it one OF
much larger size. Yesterday afternoon
| the tree was transferred to its new
quarters. 1t resented the operation of it,
removal to the best of its abfIity.
Arriving at his residence about the time
the tree had been transpanted, the
gentleman found the house in grand
commotion. On asking what was up HI
was told that they had transplanted tht
tree according to orders and the opera
tinn had made it very mad" Hardly
had it been placed in its new quarter,
BEEF re the leaves began TO stand up in al
directions like the hair on the tail OF an
angry cat, and soon the whole plant wa,

winnipeg Free Frees.
John Erickson, Swede, ia at present
In the Winnipeg general hospital, as the
result of the following extraordinary
circumstances Two weeks ago last
Monday he went out to examine some
bear traps In the vicinity of Hawks Lake,
on contract forty-two, G. z, R. east. After
looking at several traps without finding
bear, he became careless, aud leaving his
gun proceeded with his axe only to
observe the remainder.
At length he came upon one in which
was bear of enormous proportions. IL.
says he never saw 30 large one before
The animal was snarling and ready to
offer fierce resistance to any antagonist.
Erickson thought it not safe to approach
him with the axe only, and so cut
stout pole six or seven feet in length, and
with 1t dealt the bear several blows Oh
the head. Finding, however, that his
strength was not sufficient for the break
ing Of bruins head, and seeing til,
brute so exceedingly enraged he concluded
that his position was rather dangerous,
and made up his mind to retire. Acting
upon this decision, Erickson turned to
run away, but when he was at distance
of about 80 feet the bear sprang after
him, dragging with him both the trap
and the log to which it was attached, and
seized him by the left arm, dislocating it
and producing fracture of the bone
Erickson seized him by the lip and tore ii
until he released his hold, when the bear
again seized him by the right arm, in
which he tore deep flesh wound, but
caused no further injury to it. Afterwards
swapping at the mans thighs, the animal
tore in them several deep and ugly flesh
wounds. After three or four such bites,
he left his victim, no doubt supposing
him to be dead. Erickson remained
alone in his helpless and wounded condi-
ton for four days, having nothing to eat
but the buds which he managed to pluck
from the lower branches of the young
trees around him. AT last he watched a
partridge going to it's nest, and managed
to crawl after it, found 10 eggs, of which
he made a very fair meal. Finding him
self somewhat stronger; he undertook to
walk, and the stiffness of his limbs di.
minishing he proceeded until he reached 9
saw mill two miles and half distant.
The bear, SO far as Erickson knows, il
still in the trap. Erickson is now in a
| fair way to recover. His right arm is SC
much swollen that means cannot bt
employed to set it but the surgeons o
the hospital expect that he will fully
recover in due time.

Shot Himself.


On Saturday night last the boys in
town took young man employed by Mr..
James Brambe out to run him. II e
scene of the running was down back
street to the branch known as Gravel
Run. As the young victim was passing
the academy one of the boys opened fire
upon him with brick, but, instead of
running, the young man drew pistol To
defend himself. In his effort to cock the
pistol the hammer fell, discharging the
pistol, the ball passing through the feshy
part OF his thumb. The wound, though
not serious, is painful one, and put an
unfortunate termination to what was in
tended as piece of fun.
