We invite attention to the proclama-
ton Of Governor Fairchild, calling upon
the people of Wisconsin to contribute
aid to the sufferers by the devastinR
fires lately raging through the northern
part of our state. The burned district
comprises the counties OF Oconto,
Brown, Door and Kewanee and parts of
Manitowoc and Outagamie. From the
most reliable sources of information
we learn that at least 1000 persons
have been either burned, drowned or
smothered Not less than 1900 men,
women and children have been rendered
entirely destitute. Distress and in
tense suffering are on every hand,
where but few days ago were com
fort and happiness.
The aggregate destruction of proper.
ty in the Chicago fire is probably about
200 millions of dollars and the total area
Of the burnt district about 2, 800 acres,
formerly thickly covered with buildings
Bot three or four structures of any
kind are left standing.
The ladies Of Mineral Point arranged
musical concert for the benefit OF
the Chicago sufferers, but when it be
came apparent that the sufferers in the
northern part of our own state were il
greater need, it was resolved to senc
the proceeds to Green Bay. A com
mittee is also at work and there will bt
several hundred dollars raised during
the week, without doubt.

The Dodgeville Guards, now number
ing nearly 80 men, has been assigned

Randall yesterday morning.
Saturday was busy day for the
wheat buyers of Mineral Point. Our
streets were thronged with teams from
an early hour until late in the evening
We are told by those informed that
over 4, 900 bushels of wheat were sold
Our merchants also did good business.
Many of our readers will be gratitied
to learn that John Bracken, Esq, of
this city, has been commissioned Lieu
tenant Colonel of the 10th Regiment
Wisconsin Active Militia.
The idea prevails that Iowa county is
in arrears in furnishing her quote of
volunteers for the war. We have taken
pains to ascertain the truth of the
allegation and find that Grant County
alone leads Iowa in number of volun-
teers as compared with population.
AZ Iowa county is looked upon as the
hot-bed of southern sympathisers, or
secessionism, as it is termed by many,
we think our neighbors will give us
credit for doing the fair thing in fur
nishing volunteers for the war.

The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in its opera
lions in China was particularly etec-

Of thousands of lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
