N,N THE CHICAGO CALAMITY. The telegraph related but a little of the scene: of the Chicago conflagration. The best account which we have yet seen is in the correspondence Of the Detroit Free Press, which we transfer to | our columns : The dread alarm bells struck terror to the | citizens in the immediate vicinity. The firemen | Were exhausted from their labors of the pre- | vious ni consequently, before the drowsy reached the scene of the confiagra- tion it had spread with such rapidity that three | entire blocks were seething in flames. The fire- | men, all worn out as they were with the weary labors of the night and morning before, worked | manfuily to extinguish the flames. The engines took various positions in the front and on the | sides of the fire. They poured unceasing streams oi water upon the burning buildings; they wetted the roofs and sides of buildings in the advance of the flames, and as they retired from one hydrart teanother they still kept working | vigoronsly. But with all their best efforts the flames kept gaining rapidly. The air was filled With flying cinders, which, hurled aloft by the | ferce intensity of the breeze, eddied and floated in the firmament, and fell again to the earth | three or four blocks distant. These cinders drifted about the corners of the streets and al- leys lke snow under the effects of a winter's breeze. They ignited the sidewalks and whole | f Tows of baildings at once. It was impossible to | Protect the city from their advance. SKIRMISHERS OF THE #IRE-FIEND. They rattled upon roofs and against windows, impelied py the gale, and whenever one struck | in an instant aflame appeared. Territied at the | rapidity with which the flames spread,the people hastily threw out into the streets what household isthey could, and with valuables in their ands, stood gazing as if stupitied at the destrac- | tion of their homes. At about the honr of WW, it being then seen that the flames, pite the efforts of the firemen, could not be checke«t, every bell in the city—fire bell, church bell, achool-house and engine bell began ringing. The | object was to arouse the sleeping populace that they might bring, as they could, their goods to a | of safety. Drays and express wagons | astened through the streets Iadened with all imaginable sorts of goods, and drove hurried): toward the Iake side near the park. Sick an‘ deerepid persons were unceremoniously thrown upon the tops of beds and almost battered to pieces by the hurting of bandboxes, chinaware, , clocks, looking-glasses, doil- abil , umbrellas, mu- | sical i ng silverware, ‘smoothing irons, and all sorta of” household ‘truck. Fainting women, half-clad women, hysterical women, sad oven lan and dancing women ined walks. ‘and yolls for expressmen to | these helpless women and children | i i $ f : if that met with approval from all citizens. Among all this con- f the police were everywhere to be met with. Homan nature in the most selfish aspects, and in glaring contrast the most _ SEL¥-SACRIFICING HEROISM was displayed on every street. There was no rioting or disorder. Undoubtedly a considerable thieving was carried on, but public | ion was not called to it except in one in- on Clark street, where a party of three ruffians, having a fourth confederate in an ex- press wagon, entered a house and began carry- ing off various articles, which they deposited in their express wagon. ‘The owner of the house, taken by surprise, thought they were symp thizing neighbors who had come to their relicf, but on seeing them about to drive off he raised an outery. The thieves were captured and snmmarily kicked by the indignant crowd, and the wagon taken possession of by a patrolman. Many dealers in articles of clothitig wad grocer, ies, secing it was impossible to save their stocks gave to the crowd free permission to help them- selves, a privilege many availed themselves of to secure a suit of clothes or a hat. After ail, the main impulse of the community seemed be a desire to save what they could of the city Buildi were torn down in the vain eitort to | stay th es, but, as was said before, the fly- | ing cinde ricane, rendered sending up A THICKENING STORM OF SPARKS ighting on fresh territory, would so » notice of their rapidly germi- ting sec immense yolumesof flame. The sament glowed with them. The leaping flames, as they licked upsome more than usually pstance in drug and liquor stores, ights in the he and cind all around the of fire the in- | rkness of the sky added by contrast to the terrors of the scene. On Clark street a new pavement of cedar blocks and tar had just been put down, and the street was only partially open ter public traffic, although the pavement was completed. It caught fire, and instantaneously | from one endof the street to the other fierce | finmes broke out. It was a perfect channel of fire. Some of the more fortunate pedestrians upon that street made their escape into alleys and cross streets, some of them having the clothes burned off their backs, so sudden and spontane- ously fierce were the flames. It is known that some persons in this street were unable to escape, and, asphyxiated and rendered sense- Jess, fell unexpected victims to flames. In the tall’ buildings on either side many clerks had their lodgin; Some of these made their escay f clad. Others, who had during the ds: Tnauiged in dissipation and had retired to bed stupefied by excesses, did not awaken in time, and — before assistance could be rendered. Two young men, it is said, appealed from a fourth-story window to the impotent bystanders for RESCUE FROM THE FURNACE of fierce heat that wrapped the building. No relief was ble. In another moment the roof feil upon them, the wails tottered in, and they found their death and burial place amid the heaps of ashes. Just how many persons met their fate in this manner it isimpossible to say. ‘The wildest rumors were current, but amid the unparalleled excitement everywhere surround- ing the seene but little heed was given to these stories, and no effort made to ascertain their truth. The uproar increased, the flames: ad, the firemen beeame despairing, the shoute and ¢lamors of the women and children, and the roar flames filled the air. Two en, South Division became surrounded by the flames and were left to their fate, the jaded firemen be- ing unable to bring them’ out. As the danger Lecame imminent, and the hopes of saving business portion of the city lying between the river, the south branch and the lake were aban- doned, the proprictors of hotels aroused their guests and warned them that the only t of escaping with their lives lay in immediate flight. This was between the hours of twelve and one. Now to add = mya nar } to the scene were heard repeated e: sounding like a continual cannonade. — ‘and liquor stores, and places where oil was stored, burned and burst, and fear of powder—happily but a fear—took possession of the multitude. At the Tremont House the elevator became useless, and the sleepmg guests, a large number being ladies, hurried down stairs. The clatter of the removal of trunks and the hentying of domestics impeded the passage-ways. Several in t 2 eagerness jumped down the stairs and y- Othersin their haste lett beneath lows watches and money, only discover- had reached the Michi- ing beds, some sewing , and one lady had six canary birds in & cage in one hand, and an immense family Bible in the other. She said, « I was determined to bring these off if I lost all the rest.” Another er. ‘She was but partially clad, and amongst all her household wealth sought to pre- serve these filial mementoes as being to her most precious. BM and ne tral where many of persons out caught by some Fr ft ie Hi BE a i £ 2 sf Fy & E ‘The fire at this time had sees cirenm- ov: : E : j dawned, and all other spoke one cv tems were stimulated to the highest pitch, and their very countenances and voices weré like and ashes fell upon the multitudes until not a face but was blackened to an Ethiop’s hue. The Crosby 0; House, the Sherman, Wood's 2 House, and everything nearly on the north | of Lake street was completely licked ap or ted by the flames. The Court House, ha an iron roof, was thought to be fire-proof. Be- tween sixty and seventy prisoners were confined in the cells in the basement. At this t'me it was known that the water | ly had failed, th | Water works being gone. ‘The firemen bed coasea their labors, and APATHY AND DESPAIR had taken possession of the citizens. The pro- prietor of @ large jewelry store on Lake street, crazed at the prospect of his inevitable losses, unlocked the doors of his building and called on the crowd to help bim carry into the street his ‘ock. The rushing throng hastened into the store and carried out rich silverware, costly clocks, and trays of various kinds of jewels. ‘These were deposited in the center of the street, but there is too much ground for the belief that the coveted leot was more the purpose of the crowd than auy desire to save the jeweler’s stock. A large number of People had gathered bout the Court House, and clamot for the turnkey to appear and release the prisoners. He showed himse announced that the build- ing was perfectly fireproof, no harm could re- sult to these confined therein, and he should not release the convi An individual denounced im a shrill voice this barbarity of the turnkey, | and at once a terrible roar of “Lynch the damned rascal!” outbellowed the howling of the wind, the flames, and the momentary explosions that had grown so frequent as to be disregarded. The turnkey tn dismay fled, and could not be and, alihough pursuit was made. In answer TUMTLTUOUS ROARING OF THE Mon | the prisoners set up a howl, subdued by the thick walls, but none the less appalling. In twenty minutes from the time the court-house Was in flames, without doubt the seventy con- viets were burned. What was done at theother institutions in which prisoners were confined I could not ascertain. The night wore slowly away. It seemed as if morning would never dawb. As more and more a sense of the terrible calamity became apparent, as the wind con tinued unabated, and as the Inrid flames spread in an impregnable line of miles in length for- ward, many persons threw themselves on their k in the streets and prayed vebemently for heavenly succor. A half-mad enthusiast mounted a pile of furniture in Dearborn street, and began a rambling discourse, in which he prophesied that the day of judgment was at aud, and calied on all to make their peace with God. He was regarded by some practical citizens as a crazy man escaped from confine- ment. and a bose was directed upon him. A sudden drenching silenced the fanatic, and he departed to find a more complacent audience. At four o'clock THE GAS-WORKS BLEW Ur, and every house was left in darkness. The ex- plosion shook the whole city, and aroused new terror. Down at the various depots all night long the locomotives were busy drawing ont rolling stock and freight. Most of the freight stored in the Michigan Central pot was brought to a place of safety, and all of their | rolling stock brought beyond’ the reach of the | flames. No breaktast could be had in the entire city, as the means of cooking had been destroyed with the houses, and private families gave no thought to what they should eat, being bent only on saving their effects. ‘Ten thousand people, with immense piles of household goods, were congrepated on the lake shore as the morning dawned. These people had saved but little provisions, and the cries of the children arose in one long, lamenting wail. ‘No papers were issued from Any printing of- fice this morning. The city was without news— nor needed it any. It was a scene of misery. ‘The flames still roaring and advancing, the air still full of cinders, the explosions stil! constant, the water suj ply exhausted, the fremen worn out, the fireengines idle, the throng of fleeing citizens increasing, the wind still biowing flerce- ly, the smoke drifting still to the northward, the roar of the flames still heard above all, the cries and complaints of the populace still resound- ing, and naught silenced but the bells. Where- fore indeed, when th tric fluid w through the length a news of the woes of Chicago, and awakening in our cities chords of sympathy—why should the tolling bells seek to startle the mourning popu- lace? So the bells alone were stlent as mornin, noises rather increase: than diminished. — Another Thrilling Account of the Con- flagration—Scenes and Incidents, [From the New York Sun.) Yesterday a number of additional refugees from the grand theater of desolation at Chicago arrived in this city. Among them were Timothy Teckwood, of Sa Maine, Henry P. Wallace, ot Tremont, New York, and Miss Laura E. Rol- lins, ef Bridgepert. Connectient. Ali bore evi- ce of the great excitement and horror through hich they passed; and their narrative of what urred under their observation is thrilling In the extreme. As they generally related their experience the group that surrounded them seemed to absorb al! their feelings util they were spell-bound with horror. It seemed like an over- wrought tale of fiction rather than the grim and terrible reality that all knew it to be. As they \d observe that their neryous sys- those who had come from the jaws of destrac Miss Rollins was the only one who had saved anything but the garments on their per- s. They would not have been able to have »me home had it not been for the generosity of the railroad employes, who passed them free. ‘The dining saloons on the route manifested the same generosity, and everywhere they were the rreipients of kindness," A YOUNG LADY'S STOR’ Miss Rollins had a most narrow escape from a flery death. She was surrounded by the flames, and dashed throngh a space where the wooden pavements had kindled into a blaze. She tells the following story: When the second fire broke out in the South Division nearly all the people became insane with terror. I never can tell of the universal horror of those hours. They were years. I don't wonder that men seemed demented and women hysterical. One of the little girls that attended my school became lost. I found her crying as though her heart would break. She was but seven years old, and she could not tell what had become of her parents and family. ‘There were many such cases. As we went on further the throng increased until the streets and sidewalks were black with people. It was like a freshet, and poured in the one direction of safety. By and by we found the fire getting around us ss though escape would be cut o and we would be entombed in one grand pyre of flame. ‘Go the other way; we are h off,” was now and then the cty,and the multitude yould turn back straggling, in a new direction. I saw some women and children and one man, exhausted, lie down in the gutter to die in t hopeles«ness of desperation. ‘Others would seize and urge them along. Smoke and cinders and flame and scorching heat filled the air. CHILDREN SCREAMED IN TERROR and begged for water. Some would catch up water fram puddles near hydrants and moisten the mouth. ** This is the day of judgment ! this must be the end of the world !”" exclaimed more thanone. The degree of sympathy that pre- yailed was wonderiul. There seemed to be one instinctive throb of feeling, andthe strong h the weak. I believe that thieveshad a great deal to do with the fire. Ifthey did not start it in the first place, they kindled flames in fresh places. I saw houses that had been deserted entered by ill- looking fellows, who rapsacked bureaus and closets. There was no time to speak to them. Once or twice when they were spoken to they professed to have been sent by RR aes eg save thin; any peor! e of their cape ‘aban med everything, even to Jeweley and money. I saw one fel- lows pocket half full of jewelry, and watches. I spoke of it, but in an instant he lost himself in the crowd. I saw a colored man with a lady's chatelaine chain suspended awk- at his vest. The little girl I had walked until the hot pavements blistered her little feet. ‘Then we carried her. “Is papa and mamma burnt ap? is Neddie burnt up dead?” she piti- ously asked. Late at night we found them all safe. It was nearly morning before we obtained sh iter and food. I never want to set eyes upon Chicago again. MR. LOCK WOOD'S STORY.

We sickened at the sight. and hurried down to the street, which by this time was pretty well deserted. Then along the banks of the lake we wandered, more like dead than living men. We heard and saw mourning and y and suffering that all the books in the world could not hold the account of. We were comfortably fixed in life one week Sg0; BOW we are penniless. We have no doubt that incendiaries did part of the work, and (or robbery and ravage. Moderation in Fruit Culture. Tn order to succeed in fruit culture we must avoid the extremes. These extremes are large Stops, great growth of wood, severe pruning, ©. Nature in her domain is moderate; she never deviates from this. There is variety, sach as the soil, climate, &c., produces; but mainly there is mm ; she takes her time. And we must do the same. If we do not, we must pay th penalty. We see what thatis. It is a deter oration of our fruit trees generally, producing or aidin, 4 ——. blight, This is brought about’ ly by cultivation, by our Going, oF neglect of doing. ‘There is litile rot, little mildew, little blight and little harm gen" skeek whine we get our erally in the parent fruit trees, Why then do we not follow after nature?

These she only lends, and this is an ad .. We can thusimprove our quantity and of fruit, but at an ex- pense, intheend,ofall . So we must go back to the old standard again. Yet, sometime, by per- sistence, we can, it seems, even divert nature from her estab! course. Thus the vine in It is accustomed to it; ours is not. time im- me: the been done in Europe, until the vine acquired the nature of thing, s0 to #] ; itis natural now to be pruned. But that int, 80 much aimed at but seldom hit, bas t beer fle not secured, though there is suficient fruit for moderate success. Perhaps this can be raised; it probably can; but it is not now the case, and we must @ matters as we find them; we want them for immediate use. We cannot wait a con- tury or two or three. ‘e must therefore expect to take up with profits; moderate, yet sufficient to remunerate, to “par,” and then only in regular (yearly) crops. But this, we aro glad to sy, is the t; moderate bearin, permanent bearing. This should always be borne in mind, but it is not; we are constantly aiming at big crops. Big’ crops are usually alternate crops; moderate crops may be made annual. This | division (of the crop) also favors health and per- petuity of good qualities. If we therefore can be content with moderate gains, we are all safe. There wants to be a medium soil (with excep- tions these exceptions often the consequence of culture;) a medium distance planted apart, avoiding the extremes; praning moderately and gradually in old. reguiated ‘vines; moderats extent on the trellis, which means space to a | considerable extent, ‘in comparison with our | aping after European culture. Rank manuresare therefore to be avoi‘led; the orchard and the yineyard, originally, are unac- customed toit, They provide their own food, like begetting like. ‘The foliage and dobris aré readily” changed and re-formed, and thus will continue to do forever. We have in our own practice, found leaves and other vegetable mat- ter sufficient, growing good crops of healthy fruit and wood, and continuing the same. Ali the elements necessary are present. As natare has her fires, so she uses also ashes. They are a benefit to frait generally, if not applied as ale triment, too abundantly, causing an unnatural, unbalanced growth, as is the case with organic matter also and to astill greater extent. Let there be a fair working sou, with the | natural aliment of the fruit, its own refuse, and it will get, with its feet in the mineral bed, all the volatile aliment its wants from the air, But we can use some variety in our treatment. Natnre has this, in her many soils and climate And this is experience. A little phosphate f. the seed may be added; lime to correct—there are many lime soils, 0 that this is @ nataral treat- ment; we know it isa one, though not a chiefone. And clay, this is also the habit of tree; we know that it fs good, that it prodaces quality, flavor, &c. But it will do this better it it is disseminated and pulverized, and not a harsh, rigid impenetrable soil. ‘The great quality, however, which underlies all others, has not yet been mentioned. This Is underdrafning. A et sufliciently moist and permanently moist wet soil, is of all things the great need. We are awakening to this tact, | Dut it is not yet established among us; has | into the popular practice. Even | not yet entered those who have a controlling influence are often passive if not opposed to the practice. The e: ample of England seems not to be sufficient; our own example is disregarded too much. We have much to learn here, and in a vital point. ‘We have experimented some—we have observed on this subject. All the evidence goes to favor it—favor it even in our apparently dry, yet not ghly drained soil. Health is the first requisite in fruit growing. This is promoted by drainage, we are persuaded, toa great degree. But there is also yigor and quality, both of wood and of fruit. This wesee in vines planted near buildings, where a celler and its outlet drains the soil. Here is depth and uninterrupted drainage. Ina village or city where many cel- lars occur, and in close proximity, we tind often the best Of success. These amateur vines, as they are called, are coe or inthe main, su- lor in success to field culture. We have a descri » located near a cellar, with a ditch four feet in depth on oppo- site sides, which outstrips by more than half all the other vines differently situated. A single drain (or cellar) may be sufficient in all cases, as sometimes outside sourcesof water may have an effect, the pitch of ground, &¢.—Coun- try Gentleman.
