LANCASTER. AUGUST u. 1855.
Forest Fires.

The terrible devastation wrought by the
forest fires in Wisconsin, again reminds
one of the necessity of taking measurers to
preserve our forests. Millions of dollars
worth of lumber, besides many prosper
Gus homestead in the wilderness, have
been swept away in a few hours by force
that is apparently beyond human preven-
ton. But it would not be beyond control
il only the proper measures were taken to
protect the forests.
1t has often been suggested that the state
governments should cause broad avenues
10 be cleared through the forest at regu-
lar intervals of several miles, with Others
at right angles to them. These would act
as barriers to the spread of the flames, and
although in windy weather the fire would
probably be carried across them, still it
would be possible even then for force of
experienced woodmen to defend the farther
side Of the barrier from the spread of the
flames. At all events these avenues woult
form serious obstacle, and would save
their cost in few years in the many Incl
pient conhagrations that they would
check.
As much of our most valuable timber is
in the territories, this would appear to be
matter for national legislation of quite
as great Importance as many an item OF
the river and harbor bill.
Much of the opposition TO Notifications
the building of navy or the improvement
of rivers and harbors comes from the West
ern states, whose citizens felt hat they are
not receiving their share of attention il
national legislation ; and in justice to then
the general government should pay more
attention to the protection and develop
ment of their resources, not by ex
travagant grants of lands to rail
ways but by encouraging Western emf
grafton and inducing the population of ou
overcrowded cities to spread out over tn
Western land Recently an English edito
asked why, with our boundless territory,w,
have pauperism in America? The an
swer is that emigration to these Western
lands is so full of hardships and DANCE
that few care to face it. If the government
would exert itself to lessen these difficulties
a partial solution of the labor questio
might be found.

BY the aid OF her lovers trousers Miss
Ella Drew saved a life at Marblehead Neck,
Mass, on "Wednesday. With Isaac Mills, jr.,
she was playing tennis near the Nanepashe-
met house. at Marblehead Neck. On the
rocks two children of Mr.. Hollis, of Boston,
were playing, and while near what is called
the SpOuting Horn, one OF the most danger.
Gus places on the coast. one little fellow :
years old slipped and fell into the sea. I'm
medistely the other boy gave the alarm
which was heard by the two young people
They both started for the rocks, arriving a
the same time. The little fellow down in th'
chasm was struggling hard in the water io
his life Quick as thought young Mills threw
off his trousers. Miss Drew seized the trOus
ers and sprang for the lower rock and youns
Mills jumped into the water and caught the
child lust as it was going down. Miss Drew
got TO the edge as close as possible, with water
rolling around her and threw one leg o.
the pantalOons to young Mills, holding to the
other leg with a strong grasp until hel p came
from the hotel. Several years ago Miss Drew
saved boy from drowning.

Sickles on Mexico.

General Sickles has expressed the opinion
that Mexico wants to provoke hostilities
with the United States, in the hope that an
overwhelming defeat of her forces would
produce panic among the people. Under
cover Of this Mexico would be enabled to
sell the United States large slice of un-
profitable and troublesome border territory,
and the famished Mexican treasury would
again be filled with Yankee gold to the
tune of thirty millions or more. Mexico
wants to sell, the general tells us, but any
attempt to do so without war would
cause revolution, and summary slaughter
Of Diaz and his friends by an infuriated
populace.
All this is beautiful in theory, but it is
not believed that Diaz and his friends con-
template any such scheme for the risk in
vOlved therein would be too great. Unless
the defeat and conquest of the Mexicans
was most overwhelming, they would not
consent to second partition of their terri
tory. The lost provinces of Mexico have
proved such source of wealth to the
United States that the Mexicans have
never ceased to regret their bargai n, and
nothing would be more certain to cause
the complete and irretrievable overthrow
of Diaz than that he should be the willing
or the unwilling partner to any sale Of
Mexican provinces.
Then there is another side of the ques-
tion to be considered. Is it probable that
this government could be induced to offer
large sum of money for these provinces
that have given Mexico so much trouble !?
This country has all the land that it wants
or can easily take care of but the weakness
Of the Mexican government and the turbu-
lence of the banditti across the border may
make it necessary to extend our sway,
sooner or later, over the troublesome terri
tory. This would be merely as measure
of self-protection and by developing more
energy Mexico may avert it 1t is to be
hoped that she will. There is no reason
why the United States should undertake to
conquer and then buy province, that the
unstable character of the Mexican govern.
ment may one day compel us to seize,
though We don't want it.
