A Terribie Prairie Fire.
DREADFUL MARCHA OF DESTRUCTION,
The Sioux City (Iowa) Journal of a late date has startling reports of the ravages of prairie fires up the Big Sioux Valley and throughout southern Dakota. The fires on Saturday were of unusual force and de- structive beyond precedent. The poles on the telegraph lime on the Sioux City and Pembina Railroad were burned, sv the line has been down, and reports from that quar- ter are not full. A merchant of Eden tells a harrowing tale of loss in that quarter. On Saturday, from his store door, he count- ed thirteen farm houses in flames, and he says more than forty families in that vicin- ity lost everything. The flames travelled with such rapidity that people were unable to save anything. The stricken people are dazed by the terrible blow that has fallen on them. A large Norwegian church five miles from Eden has been burned. Several people were dangerously burned and some fatally in the vicinity of Portlandville. It is said that twenty families lost their hay, crain, ete., west of Elk Point. KE. Richard- son lost a large amount of grain. A school. house, with all its contents, was also burned. At White Swan the telegraph office was burned. At the same place the Government stables were burned. Alto- gether, immense damage has been done, and the hardship to settlers is particularly severe. The grass grew very rank last year, and a protracted dry spell made it powerful food for fire. On the Ist inst. the fires had reached the suburbs of the town, and were only checked by great exertions. The wife of John Forbion was burned to death in attempting to save a barn.
GIVE THE NEW GOVERNMENT A FAIR TRAIL.—VOTE FOR DerBLOIS8
AND McLEOD. Death of the Notorious Wm. Broadhead.
The London papers announce the death of Wm. Broadhead, the Trade Union assas- sin, whom Charles Reade has painted as Grotait in ‘“‘Put yourself in his place.” William Broadhead had reduced murder to a system, and was cunning enough to save his neck by turning approver and making a full confession of the homecide deeds in which he had been actively concerned. In October, 1866, matters came to a crisis,and a Commission was appvinted to investigate the whole system of murders and other trade outrages at Sheftield, and absolute indemnity was promised to all witnesses who would tellthe whole truth, however deeply they might have been compromised in the crimes committed. Hallam and Crooks, two of Broadhead@’s bravos, made such appalingly damaging revelations con- cerning him, that he fully confessed his guilt. At the close of the sittings of the Commission, Broadhead received a_ certi- ficate of indemnity. Thus Broadhead, by his own admission, a murder and a_ subor- ner of murderers, got off scot free. A subscription having been raised for this ex* posed and infamous assassin, he emigrated to America. His black reputation had; however, preceded him to the Unite States. The Americaus would have noth ing to do withhim, so he returned to Eng- land and to Shefiield, where ho died at last, paralyzed and imbecile, at the age of sixty.
THOSE WHO CONNIVE AT COOKED ACCOUNTS, WILL VOTE FOR DAVIES AND MORRIS.

Ox the 14th of last month the liquidators of the City of Glasgow Bank asked the Court. of Sessions to issue an order authorizing them to enforce payment of the first call levied upon shares to meet the liabilities of the bank. They stated in their application that the total number of shareholders was 1,278, of whom 716 have made default in payments due from them. The court issued the order, but it has heen found that very little could be obtained from these shareholders. The 562 still sol- vent sharehoiders are now to be required to make payment ef a second call on their shares, which is at the rate of $11,250 per share of $500. It is thought that a considerable num. ber of those shareholders will be unable te pay end will be completely ruined.

Why Will You
Allow a cold to advance in your system
and thus encourage more serious maladies
such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung
troubles, when an immediate relief can be
so readily attained. Boschee’s German
Syrup has gained the largest sale in the -
world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the
severest Lung Diseases. Itis Dr. Boschee’s., ° famous German prescription, and is. prey.
pared with the greatest care, and no- "
need be entertained in administering it to
the youngest child, as per directions. The
sale of this medicine is unprecedented. * Sines first introduced there has been a con-'”' stant increasing demand and without. a — single report of a failure to do its work in any case. Ask your druggist as to the truth of these remarks. Large size 75 Loonie. Try it and be convinced.
