great Milwaukee FIRE and the threatened in
vasion of cholera, which, however, stop ped
at the threshold of it's unwilling host The
most fatal single calamity, as we'll as the
most dramatic spectacle, was the wave of
flame and focd which desolated Oil Greek
and Titusville. A series of tBrnadoes re-
suited in appalling aggregate loss of life. and
the floods IN the West made q record
only second in horror. There have been
two great mining disasters, both in the
West, and a number of railroad wrecks
where number OF people breathed their
last. The greatest fire, that of st. Johns,
N. F., is recorded under the head of for
eign affairs, which department mentions,
also, the two most terrible calamities of the
year-the cholera scare and the volcanic
eruption which overwhelmed the Island of
Mauritius.
