The Agricultural Prosperity of
Huron.
• Perhaps no better indexof the
agticaltural prosperity of this Coun-
ty corild be foundthan the marked
success which has attended the va-
rious agricultural shows held in the
County during the present season.
The chief aini. and object of these
.gatiserings being to bring into -AM -
petition the fruits ofthe industry -and
skill of the husbandman, the dis-
play so mademay be taken as a very
fair criierton by which to judge of
the whole. This,being the case, we
must say that we cannot but Con-
• gratulate the agricultralists of Hu-
ron upon the success of their past
year's labors and the fair prosPecti
which lie before' them. Taking as
our guide. the Agricultural Shows
which we have visited this 'Fall, We
must say thet in every department
of husbandry the reeult must
have been most pleasing and
gratifying to every well-wisher
• of our fine and fertile Co u n.-
ty. The superiority of the animals
and articles exhibited this year
speaks more distinctly •than:words
can speak of the adyanetngprogtess
.and prosperity of our agricultural

G reen Bay, Oct. 13. —Charles
Woodward, just from. Peshtigo, says
lhat 500 pereons• perished in the

exaggerate the fearful loss of life on
the east shore. Green Bay is Elled
with refugees.. The report of the
burning .of Williamson's mills is
felly confirmed. Fifty-five lives
are lost, and ten bodies are badly
burned, and only three -uninjured,

the Little River road were burned.
Among the losses are Paul Whitney,

The Chicago Fire.
THE AMOUNT OP LOSS.
Mr. Bross, ex. Governor of Illinois,
estimdtes the loss by fire at con-
siderably over $'200,000,000, and if
damage, depreciation of real estate
_and property, and loss of.. business
are considered, the loss would, in
his judgment, e4eed $300,000,000.
Besides, there are the family ac-
cumulations of centuries, such as
heirlooms, the value of which
not be estimated in money. The
Collections of the Historical Society,
including the Emancipation" Pro-
clamation, were valuable, and not possibly be replaced. The Chi-
cago library embraced many Costly
works, among which were the re-
cords of the English Patent Otlice,
3,000 volumes.
STATE OF THE CITY.
The city is still disorganized, but
not disordeily. Stories telegraphed
of attempted incendiarisms and
lynchings are pronounced by Gen.
Sheridan -to be fabrications, and no
substantiated case of such outrage
can be found; but the public mind is
still excitable. The saddest sight
in the city now is where the house -
less thousands daily gather to obtain
Sopplies. The machinery for relief
is still imperfect, although the
supplies are ample. Yesterday the
erecting of the barracks for the
houseless began in the open square
at Ann. and Washington streets,
several of these were completed and
a large number of families moved in.
These barracks are rough wood
structures, intended only for shelter;
and in them victims of the fire can

ENGLISH SYMPATHY FOR armee°.
The London Times states that 'the
Lord Mayor has received seventeen
thousand pounds sterling as the re-
sult of two days' } subscriptions to
the Chicago relief funds, and Shat
lists have°been opened for the re-
ception of contributions at Binning-
,
ham, Bradford, Hanley and other
towns in the manufacturing districts.'
The Times has also a leading arti-
cle in which, after reviewing .4e
Chicago conflagration and the great
fires. now ravaging the North-West,
and adducing the prompt 'action of
the 'United States authorities in
suppressing the atTempted Fenian
invasion of Manitoba, it draws - the
conclusion that England hiad Eng-
lishmen are herein furnished with
every incentive to labor and to give
for the elleviation of suffering caus-
ed by the dreadful calamities in the
West.

MORE SUPPLIES WANTED.
The Chicago Repaid/case says,
although the aggregate of supplies
from abroad is iinmense, there is
little danger that More will be sent
than can be used to -advantage. We
are informed by General Sheridan
that die present stock of proyision.s
in the city will not last 24 hours, if
not continually 'replenished. We
make this statement to correct. the
impression that the city is surfeited
