IN GREAT WANT:

Seed Wheat, Lumber and Other Noces.
saries Needed by the Farmers Who suf.
fered from the Recent Prairie Fires in
Dakota.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April n.-Alderman
Smith has returned from Sully County, D.
IT,, where he went to investigate the extent
OF the damage by the recent fires 1T was
a terrible sight," he said when seen.
There are at least 100 families in
Sully County who lost most of the
wheat they had. Some of them saved
few things, but in most of the cases nothing
was saved Those who witnessed the fire
told me that the Flames jumped -four and
five rods, SO that the ordinary fire protec-
ton was of no avail. One man had sick
daughter in bed when he saw the
fire coming, and his wife rushed to the
barn to unite the horses while he
ran to save the girl. He had just
carried her out on plowed field when the
fire sprung upon his house, his wife barely
escaping: The horses were burned. l saw
where 400 sheep had been burned in heap.
The citizens OF that county are about the
best class ever seen on the frontier.
They are educated and Industrious The
people of Blunt have done good
deal for the sufferers, but they are unable
to do half enough, and I hope the good
people of Minneapolis will put their shoul-
ders to the wheel at once. Seed wheat is
what they want particularly, now that the
spring season is at hand. They also want
lumber to build houses; in fact,
every thing that can be given in the shape
of relief ought to be turned in at once.

thing but his tin pail and razor and he

intelligence Of Beavers.

The intelligence OF the beaver is
proverbial, says a correspondent OF

be generally known that if steel trap
is left visible in one of his runs he will
deliberately spring it with stick; but
if it is so artfully covered with snow or
leaves that he steps on it unwarily, he
will twist round and round till the limb
is severed. 1t is only under water that
a steel trap will hold a beaver, and then
because he browns before he can twist
himself free. once caught 4 beavers
foot in this way, and some weeks after
ward another trapper caught a three
footed animal in dead-fall. This WAS
