TO EMIGRANTS.
A word or two TO emigrants may not be out of
place here. There is a vast number of this class
coming into the country every year some seek
ing homes here in northwestern Wisconsin,
While others go on further to the west and north
west. Heretofore these emiggants have travelled
by boat from Buffalo to Chicago. thence by rail TO
st Paul and so on 10 their deStr alton by rail or
team as the case might be. But this is a round
about ana expensive way. The cheapest and
pest way 10 do IS to ship say at Buffalo, direct
superior. You viii find the trip Il most enjoy
able one, quickly made and free from the many
FeXatlous transfers, and when you get here you
VIII find yourselves two hundred miles west of
Chicago, and three hundred miles nearer ST
Paul than when at Chicago. Then, if ours is
nol the country in which you desire to locate,
you can step aboard the cars OF the Northern
IaciHc railroad and go west as far as you like
Don't let agents deceive you with nicely told
stones, but follow our instructions as above and
save both money and time by SO doing.

WEST CHESTER, April 25.-Much
excitement was caused here to day
by the announcement that ]. D.
Andrews had killed his wife at their
residence near Hayesville in this
county. 1t appears that for several
years Professor" Andrews, as he is
familiarly called, has manifested a
tendency to insanity, and an attend
ant was hired to watch him. Last
night while Mrs Andrews was in her
sitting room her husband, who had
been left unguarded for a moment
in an adjoining room, seized a roll
ing pin and quietly stealing up be-
hiud his wife dealt her a terrific
blow on the head. She fell to the
floor insensible while the attendant
returningjust at this moment, secur.
ed Andrews and summoned medical
aid. There was nO hope, however
and Mrs. Andrews died at 4 O'Clock
this morning, without recovering
consciousness. She was about fifty
years of age. Professor" Andrews
who is about sixty years old, accu-
muiated a large fortune by his won
derful skill as a mathematician
He Was known US "The lightning
calculator" and it is supposed that
his peculiar mental exercise was
the prime cause Of his mind breaking
down.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April a.
The most shocking disaster which
ever occurred in Florida waters Was
the burning Of the steamer City Of

city, about 4O'clock this morning.
The steamer WAS on her way from
Sanford. When op,~rs;; -. Point Lam
ista FIRE was discovered .ssuing from
among a quantity "f pine wood
The alarm was given, and the purset
went through the boat and aroused
the passengers. In order TO prevent
a panic he told them not to be alarm
ed; that there was plenty Of time.
This caused some to lose valuable
time The boat wac headed, for the
shore, and sin a few minutes groun-
ded in three feetIof water, but the fire
had driven the engineer from his
post and the engine could not be
stopped. An attempt was made to
rescue the passengers by having
them go aft and jump overheard !:
but, not withstanding those efforts,
nine persons, and probably more,
perished. Their names are as fol-
lows:

The steamer George NJ. Bird was
coming down the river few miles
ahead of the Sanford. Her officer
discovered the FIRE, and ut once put
back ond took on board the surviv-
ors and brought them to this city.
The remains of the lost were also
brought here. Some of the bodies
were burned to a crisp. The city is

town was completely destroyed, only
three houses being left, dwellings on
the outskirts. Nothing like it was
ever seen in this section Ten per-
sons were killed instantly, five
white and five colored. The names
of the whites are as follows: ii.
Wethersby, chancery clerk Allen
Sharp, Mrs. Cannon and baby, and
Rev. S. w. Dale. Out of a popula-
ton of about $50. very few escaped
without some injury. Between fif-
teen and twenty were seriously in

Ex-Sheriff Butler and Wife are pain
fully injured. Jake Myer had his COL
lar bone broken, and was injured
about the face. Charley Cohn had
his leg broken. The store of Mr..
Cohn. after being blown down, was
struck by lightning and entirely
consumed. There was not a tree
left standing in the place. Sam
Hickman's fine residence four miles
of Monticello, was entire
ly demolished. No one was hurt.
The track of the cyclone is estima
ted at half a mile. a terrible storm
crossed the road at about II o'clock
between Johnson's Station
and Bogne Chitto, which is suppos-
ed to be the same storm. 1t blew
several hundred yards of telegraph
wire down and covered the railroad
track with trees for a distance of two
miles, delaying trains about two
hours. No lives are reported lost
in that vicinity however. The peo-
