Of all the successive blows that have

part of the lower peninsula of Michigan
was dotted. last night with many forest

other little town, have been levelled tc

thirty houses that made up the little
settlement. The people lost all they had
Later dispatches from ThompsCnville

missing from Wallin.
Two Chicago and West Michigan trains
are blocked by the fire just below Wallin
and the telegraph poles are burned and
all wires are down.
Late last night intelligence was received
that Claery, small lumber town near
Wallin, was burned last evening The
fires which have been burning for several
days suddenly grew worse, and before
the inhabitants were aware of it they
were nearly hemmed in.
They made rush from the burning
town, and as far as known left no one be

From Kindee, in the "Thumb' where
the great forest fires occurred few years
ago, come the most alarming reports.
The town is surrounded by flames that
every moment are sweeping nearer the

sadness in different directions, all of this came
from one corrupting influence which lead to
gambling, and this has come near to many
