The Tickets for the Presidential election are ready for delivery. Tbe friends of the Republican cause throughout the county will please see to it that their townships are supplied early. Several communications received, have been crowded out. They will be at tended to in our next . S3T Hon. L. D. Campbell, although he has but nineteen majority in his district, leads the highest candidate on the Repub- ucan ooue ucKei votes. t3T Official returns in all but two coun ties in Pennsylvania, and unofficial reports of the latter, reduce the Democratic major ity to 2,806. - 3T The Pittsburgh Gazette is credilbly informed that the Roman Catholic Church in McKeesport was illuminated in honor of the success of the Demacraey in that State. f3T It is reported that from twelve to fifteen hundred illegal Irish votes from Illi nois were polled in Colfax's district,, yet that faithful Republican was elected by over 1000 majority. The , Ketstonis. Our advices from Pennsylvania, are that the friends of the "Poor bare-footed Orphan Boy" are fight ing the contest with great vigor and strong assurance of success. : ' 3TThe Indiana State Fair, just con eluded at Indianapolis, has been very suc cessful in a pecuniary point of view. Its receipts exceed its expenses by more than four thousand dollars. Sad Accident. At Pottstown, Penn sylvania on Wednesday afternoon, one man was killed and another had his ann taken off by the premature discharge of a cannon while firing a salute in honor of the Demo cratic victory. Thanksgiving Day. The Governors of even States have already united upon the 20th of November to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, viz: New York, Missouri, Maryland, Maine, Vermont,New Hampshire and Connecticut The State Journal suggests that in view of the large number of votes impor ted by the Buchaneers in Pennsylvania and Indiana, and the number transferred from district to another in Ohio, the Democ ratic party should hereafter be called the Colonization Society. t3T The first grist mill ever erected in Pennsylvania is yet in existence. It is a quaint old stone building, and bears date about 1680. It is situated on a small stream near Georgetown, and some of the original machinery imported from England is still retained in the mill " " 3T Remember that the election of Bu chanan gives Slavery the upper hand in the Republic forever that the election of Freijont will make Freedom supreme in the nation, and forever settle the unworthy struggle which the South has been permit ted to make to subjugate the North. ' 13T Remembor that Fremont says to Slavery extension "you have gone thus far, but you shall go no farther." Buchan an, on the contrary, says to it, "go to Kansas, to Nebraska, and to Utah. Then reach through Mexico, and seize upon Nic aragua and all Central America. Be un limited and be supreme." An Issue for Working Men. The question to be decided by the peo ple of the United States, on the 4th of No vember next is Shall the unsettled Terri tory of the United States be devoted to the use of Freemen of the country, where they may establish HOMES FOR THEIR CHILDREN, or shall it be taken out of the bands of the FREE WORKING MAN and be cursed and blighted by the establish ment of slavery throughout the whole extent FREEMEN OF HOLMES, TO THE POLLS! On Tuesday next the great and decisive contest between Freedom and Slavery it to take pi" m Ohio, and all over the Union. The Republicans cf this State bare taken a high stand that position must he maintained. Ohio gave a heavy majority for the Republican ticket at the late election that for Fremont must be overwhelming and to accomplish that re sult the friends of the cause in Holmes county must put forth one of their mighti est efforts. Ascertain who were the ab sentees at the late election, and see that they are out talk to the wavering and doubtful, and stir np the lukewarm and in different Let every Rupublican in the county consider himself a vigilance com mitteemen, go to work earnestly, and keep it up until after the close of the pells, and the result will manifest itself in a reduced majority of their opponents. "Caskey's on the Corner." Has no longer an existence, except in the recollection of our old friends. We have sold out the Book Store, and all the other traps therein contained, to Messrs. Scott & Ingles, two gentlemen well wor thy the confidence and patronage of the public tr A. C. M. Pennington, of New Jer sey, a member of the present Congress, has been nominated for re-election, but has de clined being a candidate. He savs in his letter that if the election of a President should go to the House, he would vote for the most available candidate against Bu chanan. tS BrjENS majority in this District, according to the official returns, is 51. He declared before the election that unless he got 400 majority in his own county he would not accept the office. He got about the fourth of it, and of course it will be only by dint of hard coaxing that he can be induced to serve. The Right Sort of Reaction. Fifty- five of the Democrats of Bangor township, in Van Karen county, Michigan, have over their own names repudiated disunion De mocracy and declared for John C. Fremont They stick to the old Jeffersonian doctrine embodied in the Republican platform, and go for the candidates to carry it out in the National Administration. S3T Keep it before the people, that the citizens of Kansas, in a legal, peaceable manner, assembled at Tobeka and framed a Constitution which prohibited Slavery, and applied for admission as a State, and that every Fremont member of Congress voted to receive them, and every Fillmore and Buchanan man voted NO. The Richmond Enquirer, the great Bu chanan organ at the South, ranks the Ger mans with the negro Slave. It says they (the negroes) "are much more capable of intelligently exercising the rights of suffrage than the ignorant Dutchman at the North, whose votes can be bought for a dollar, or a gill of Laer Beer.". Where's Raberf Don't Lose your Vote. Don't pair off, nor swap your vote ! We eamesrly entreat of every Republican of Ohio, to suffer no surmountable obstacle to keep his vote from the Ballot-Box ! Re- member that majorities are made up of sin gle ballots. Never mind how this, that, or the other State.may be reported to have gone let Ohio stand by the Kight ! A Few Figures. There are two hundred and ninety six electoral votes in all so that one hun dred and forty-nine are essential to suc cess through the agency of the Electoral Colleges and without the vote of Penn sylvania, Mr. Buchanan cannot possibly be elected. ibe mends of the Cincinnati nominee claim for him the votes of the en tire South, one hundred and twenty in all, thus: Delaware Maryland Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Florida Alabama Louisiana 3 8 13 10 8 10 3 9 6 Texas Tennessee Missouri Kentucky Mississppi Arkansas Total 4 12 9 12 7 4 120 From these, however, the following mat go for Fillmore : Tennessee 12 Kentucky 12 Maryland 8 Total 32 If We deduct the foregoing from the Southern - vote, 120, the balance will be eighty-eight, If we take the worst as pect for the opposition, and give them ev ery Southern vote but those of Maryland, Tennessee and Kentucky, the case will stand thus: , Necessary to choice 149 Buchanan's vote in the South. 88 Necessary to elect The Northern Stales are as follow: 61 23 13 11 9 5 4 4 Maine 8 5 5 13 4 6 35 1 27 Ohio Indiana - Illinoise Michigan Wisconsin Iowa California New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York New Jersey Pennsylvania 176 Of these it is merelv possible that Mr Buchanan may obtain New Jersey. Indiana- Illinois and California, thirty-five in all thus : Indiana 13 California 4 Illinois 11 New Jersey 7 35 The case would then stand thus : For Buchanan Southern vote 88 Northern 35 Total 123 The total number requisite being 149, he would then require twenty-six. If, there fore, we should add Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and New Hampshire twenty in all he would still be six votes behind hand. The conclusion is inevitable, therefore, that he cannot succeed without the electoral vole of Pennsyvania. N. T. Mirror. TO THE VOTERS TO THE VOTERS OF TO THE VOTERS OF HOLMES COUNTY.

Ascertain all the friends of Free Labor, Free Territory, and Fremont If you do not know your men, yon will not be able to know, on election day, whether you have got out your whole strength. You will not know who to send for among the dililary in voting. Ascertain who among the friends of Fre mont living miles from the place of voting, have not conveaynces of their own. This matter is too often neglected. It is easier and safer to arrange to have such persons brought to the polls by their neighbors in the morning, than it is to send for them in the afternoon. Ascertain who have no right to vote.- Our opponents will get many such persons to attempt to vote. Have them marked before hand, know the reasons why they are not entitled to vote, and be sure and challenge them. Ascertain what friends are sick or infirm, and see that suitable provision is made to convey them to the place of election. Urge upon your friends who will vote for Fremont to be at home, and be at home yourself, on Tuesday, Nov. 4th. Resist all importunities of friendship or business, to absent yourslf election day, and decline any man s oner to pair on or swap votes. One day for your country once in four years is no great call upon your time. . Talk quietly, calmly and in friendship with your political opponent; be practical, and address him in such a way as to win him.

Press upon stay-at-home voters the im portance of a single ballot that majori ties are made up of single votes, and one vote may decide thaimniority and eleet Labor as ifjjKhe vote of Ohio depended upon your individual efforts. Enquire not what Pennsylvania, Indiana, or any other State will do; but be sure to do your whole duty swell the majority of free 1 bought, Free Speech, Free Press, Free Soil, and Fremont. Cleve. Herald. The Free State Prisoners- The Free State Prisoners-Their Guard. On the morning of tbe 1 5th the hun dred prisoners were drawn up in a line in front of their prison at Lecompton, and the witnesses before the pro-slavery Grand Jury passed in front, looking each prisoner in the face. Twelve out of the hundred were recognized as' members of the party who made an attack upon the Fort at Hick ory Point Tbe witnesses made some mis takes in the persons recognized. Some of them had never been to Hickory Point, but were confined, charged with other offenses. So writes the Kansas correspondent of the N. Y. Times. The correspondent of the Tribune says: "I have learned one fact that is worth mentioning at Lecompton this week. Gov. Geary has accepted four companies of vol unteers, Pro-Slavery militia, who are sta tioned at Lecompton under pay. These are under command of the infamous Col Titus, and it is they who guard the Free state presoners. Most of them are recent ly imported Southerners, who, but for such support, would be billettcd in Missouri at present There are, however, no fewer of them than sixty-seven of them who do not hesitate to avow that they are Missounans, and intend to remain Missounans, but that they merely were in the Territory to settle the Slavery question. So the world goes in Kansas. Republican Gain in Ohio.

James Buchanan's Somersets. No man in the United States has turned his political coat as often as James Buch anan. He has espoused the principles of every party that had an existence since the memorable Hartford Convention, and has been on all sides of political questions. A brief reference to his history will con clusively corroborate our assertions. HIS FEDRALISM. He entered public life in 1814, as a rank Federalist, and by the Federal party he was elected to the Legislature of the State. He was re-elected in 1815, defeating Mol ten C. Rogers, the Democratic candidate, and afterwards one of the Supreme Judges of the State. In 1820 he was the Federal candidate for Congress, and was elected over Jacob Hibsmari, tbe Democratic candidate, by 97 majority. In 1822 he was re-elected over the same man by 813 majority. In 1824 he was the Federal candidate for Congress, and elected over Samuel Houston, the De mocratic candidate, 519 votes. In 1826 he was re-elected over Dr. John MeCam ant, the Democratic candidate, by 45 votes. His majorities were becoming less each time, and in order to satisfy his Federal friends of his fidelity to the party, he had to declare that "if he had a drop of Demo cratic blood in his veins he would open them and let it out" HE BECOMES A DEMOCRAT. Two years after this hechanged his coat and becomes a full blooded Democrat, and ran for Congress as the Democrat candi date, and was elected by virtue of treneral Jackson's popularity. He was afraid to run a second time, and declined. HIS TEN CENT SPEECH. In 1842, in the United Slates Senate, he made a speech advocating the principle that Ten Cents was a sufficient compensa tion for a day's labor. Hence he is called "Ten Cent Jimmy." In 1845 he became Secretary of Stale under Polk's Administration, and consent ed to give away about half the Territory of Oregon to the British Government after he had proven that they nad not a spark of title to it He extolled the Federal Administration of John Adams and endorsed the abomin able Alien and Sedition laws of the Feder al reign of terror. He bitterly denounced the Administration of that pure Democrat, James Madison, and ridiculed what he term ed the follies of Thomas Jefferson. HIS SLAVERY SOMERSETS. In 1819 at a meeting in Lancaster, he reported a resolution favoring resistance to the extension of Slavery, and the admis sion of the State of Missouri as a Slave State. In 1847 he wrote to the Democracy of Berks county, saying that the Missouri Compromise had given peace to the coun try, and that instead of repealing it, he was in favor of its extention and maintenance. In 1850 in a letter to CoL Forney, re joiced over the settlement of Slavery.agita tion by the passage of the Compromise Measures during Fillmoru's Administration, and hoping that before a dissolution of the Union that he might be gathered to his fathers, and never be permitted to witness the sad catrastrophe. In 1852 he wrote to Mr. Leake, of Vir ginia, concerning Fillmore's Compromise Measures of 1850, which had been passed by Congress; and said "that the volcano has been extinguished, and the man who would apply the firebrand to the combustible ma terials still remaining will produce an erup tion that will overwhelm the Constitution and the Union." Well Mr. Pierce was the man who, at a later period, wilh the assistance of Doufaced Douglas disturbed the compromise measures, repealed the Missouri Compromise, and re-opened the volcano of Slavery. BUCHANAN'S LAST SOMERSET. On the 28th of December, 1856, about six months ago, Mr. Buchanan, in a letter to John Slidell, of Louisiana, says : The Missouri Compromise is gone, and gone forever. It has departed. The time for it has passed away, and the best way, the only mode now left of pulling down the fanatical and reckless spirit of the North, is to adhere to the existing settlement with out the slightest thought or appearance of wavering, and without regarding any storm which may be raised against it So now Mr. Buchanan is going to "crush out" the spirit of freedom in the North, and make us all the tools of Southern Slave holders. We shall be glad to see Mr. Ten Cent Jimmy try that experiment Pierce has been at it for four years, and he has broken down in the attempt, and if the old Lancaster Federalist wants to find out the courage that sleeps in the free man's heart, or feel tbe strength of a freeman s arm, he may begin immediately on his return from the aristocratic atmosphere and despotic fog of England, and he will find in the end that the process of crushing out was com menced some time before the Declaration of Indepenpence by British kings, and al though renewed in 1812, yet it fizzled out of existence about forty years ago. We are ashamed that Pennsylvania contains a statesman, of so little political stability as Jas. Buchanan, and in next November, when he begins to put down the freemen of the North, we will pay him in full for all his political misdeeds, his Oregon cow ardice and his ten cent speech included. He will begin to think about wavering then, and will call in vain upon the rocks, hills, and mountains to bide him from tbe "storms." which he does not now "re gard." Decision of the Great Atlantic Case. The Cincinnati Enquirer, of Saturday, says: In the United states district uourt yes terday Judge McLean delivered (by A. C. McLean, Esq., being himself absent from the effects of his recent accident), his de cision in the case of the steamboat Atlan tic vs. propeller Ogdcnsburg. This deci sion reverses the opiuion of the lower Court, and divides the loss equally between the parties. t m i x 33T Milton Starbuck apprised the Rich mond Palladium of the fact that his father is in the 80th year of his age, and his fam ily consists of nino sons and nine daughters, all living. All the sons and five son-in- law support Fremont In addition he has thirty-two grand-sons and grand-sons-in- law, who also support Fremont Baptist Proscription. Wake Forest College, a Southern Baptist institution, has discontinued the use of the Rev. Dr. Wayland's Elements of Moral Science, "because it contains sentiments unsound, and at war with the domestic institutions of the South." The New Testament will be proscribed next From the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, Sept. 12th a Buchanan paper. Mr. Buchanan in his Southern Mr. Buchanan in his Southern Aspect--He is ready to go outside and beyond the Constitution to extend Constitution to extend Slavery--The price of Negroes advancing!! The position assumed by Mr. Buchanan in the Ostend Conference Manifesto, in re gard to the acquisition of Cuba, ought cer tainly to determine every Southern man to cast his vote for him. It removed all doubt, if any existed, of his real friendship to the South, and placed him immediately above other Northern statesman. We regret that this conclusive fact in his favor has not had its due prominence in the present contest ' Its great importance cannot be too often dwelt upon by papers and speakers, for it constitutes a claim never before possessed by any candidate for the Presidency. His opponents may misconstrue and distort his voles against Abolition petitions; his votes and speeches against the Abolition of Slave ry in the District of Columbia; they may garble his speeches upon the annexation of Texas, and, in violation of all the principles cf sound logic, deduce odious doctrines from his letters cf acceptance, but the language of the Ostend Manifesto defies all of their arts and ingenuity. While the boldness of the position for a Northern man is without a parallel, its soundness cannot be gainsay ed or disputed. We beg the especial attention of our readers as Southern men, to the following most significant extract from that Manifesto, remembering that the conference was held in the fall of 1854, only two years since: "After we shall have offered Spain a price for Cuba far beyond its present value, and this shall have been refused, it will then be time to consider the question. Does Cuba, in the possession of Spain, seriously endanger our internal peace and the exibt ence of our cherished Union ? "Should this question be answered in the affirmative, then, by every law, human and divine, we shall be justified in wresting it from Spain, if we possess the power. And this, upon the very same principle that would justify an individual in tearing down the burning house of his neighbor, if there were no other means of. preventing the flames from destroying his own house. "Under such circumstances, we ought neither to count the cost nor regard the odds which Spain might enlist against ua. We forbear to enter into the question, whether the present coadkion of the Island would justify such a measure. We should, however, be recreant to our duty, he un worthy of our gallant forefathers, and com mit base treason against our prosperity, should we permit Cuba to be Africanized, become a second St Domingo, wilh all its attendants horrors to the white race, and to suffer the flames to extend to our neigh boring shores, seriously to endanger or ac tually to consume the fair fabric of our Un ion," . Admitting then, for the nounce, that Mr. Fillmore is willing to grant to the South all of her rights within and under the Con stitution, (and his most insane admirers never claim that he will do more,) see how much in advance or him Mr. Buchauan has placed himself. Mr. Buchanan is ready and pledged not only to concede to us eve ry Constitutional right, but to go beyond that conservative position. By the forego ing language it will be seen that he is ready to go outside and beyond the Constitution, and. in defiance of all the world, to wrest Cuba from Spoin by the strong arm of power. And reader, do you inquire, why act in that extoaorclinary manner ? His speech in 1826 upon the Panama mission, as well as this manifesto, furnishes the noble, pat riotic answer. To prevent Cuba from be coming "a vast magazine in the vicinity of the southern states, whose explosion wou Id be dangerous to their tranquility and peace." What stronger evidence would any reason able man need ? What stronger evidence could any man offer of his friendship for us ? In the face of Northern hostility to acqui sition of Slave Territory, and in disregar J, too, of the Jaws of nations, he is willing, if that Island cannot be purchased, to take it by violence, in order to the "tranquility and peace" of the South. In this matter he will no be hemmed in by the Constitution, or controlled for a moment by any abstract notions on the subject of Slavery, nor be awed by the combined fcrceof the world. southern men will do well to ponder over this position of James Buchanan, as it is a complete answer to all the pettv ob jections invented and magnified by Know Nothing papers and speakers. V hen the Mail, the Alabama Journal, Mr. Hilliard, KoL Watts or Judge Chitton, or any of the "lesser lights," talk about his repugnance to slavery as contained in his annexation speech when they bleat about "squatter sovereignty" falsely deduced from his letter of acceptance, point them proudly, ana as conclusive, to the Ostend Conference Mani festo, and defy them to produce anything Mr. Fillmore ever did or said, which enti tles him to a tithe of the same confidence on the part of the South. JSTThe Richmond Enquirer has away of stating the issues involved in the Presi- denlial contest that must be very cogent to those who swallow all it sets forth as gos pel. Here is a sample : "Black Republicanism is downright op en treason, inndelitv, licentiousness, and agrarianism. We must put it down- terminate it not conciliate or compromise with it "Now, we turn to the Democratic can didate. Mr. Buchanan, the national, the conservative, the Union-loving candidate. He not only represents and leads the cause of his country and the Union ; but religion, morality, Christian marriage, the right to private property, and every moral, Christian and social duty ana obligation iook to mm as their champion. There is one item of this that we don't quite comprehend. The "infidelity, licen tiousness, and agrarianism," must be all right, for Tha Enquirer says it; but how electing an old bachelor President over a widower on one side and ac exemplary hus band and father on the other, is to uphold "Christian Marriage," or how such Marriage should "look to him as its champion," both ers us. The Enquirer is in favor of the Union, too on conditions. If r remont can be defeated, it is for Union ; if not, for Disun ion. Hear it! ".We love the Union. 'It must be pre- served.' But it can only be preserved by the defeat of Fremont. It is because we love this Union and would preserve it, be cause we believe a large majority at the Worth love it better than they love f re moot, free niggers, free lands, or free love. that we warn them. da v t.v ' T.. i- elect Fremont is to dissolve the Union. To 'love Cjesar more than Rome,' was con sidered a -crime. How much greater crime to 'love f remont more wan the Union ! " Who wouldn't be in fevot of the Union if he could have " everything hi own way in it! - The Stumpendous Fraud in Indiana. Every day is bringing to light the n ture and extent of the recent and gigantic frauds perpetrated upon the ballot-boxes Indiana. . It is already ascertained that Irishmen were brought into the State dur ing the fortnight previous to the election, to three times the number of the claimed Buchanan majority! In many instances is in proof that these imported Irishmen voted at two, three and four different polls They were marshalied in squads of fifties and hundreds, and generally sent to strong Buchauan neighborhoods, where there would be no formidable objections to their voting. Their Buchanan friends stood about them while they voted, and the vn- pudent Republicans who in some instances challenged these votes, were unceremonious ly knocked down, and taken by their "long heels" and dragged out ! The most infant-' ous scenes of the Kansas election were re enacted in numerous instances. We give a few of the facts, as we find them publish ed in the Indianapolis Daily Journal: "When we began our exposure of the means by which the late election has been carried, we had no idea of the extent and baseness of the frauds we were to encounter. We knew well, for we had witnessed many former elections, the modes of oper ation by which the "old line" party over ride a hostile public will, that gross Bands lay at the bottom of the large votes Allen, Dearborn, Franklin, Shelby, and all the counties along the Wabash, but we did not know that even "old line" despera tion could dare such lengths of iniquity as the evidence proves they have gone. We have presented already proof enough to in validate the whole election. Frauds cover ing more than Willard's whole majority have been established in Allen, Wabash, Huntington, Warren, Parke, Tippecanoe, Laporte, Marshall, Fulton, Marion, Shelby, Morgan, Hendrick. Look at the "old fine" vote in this county, swelling at once one thousand, out of an entire increase of only fourteen hundred. . . Look at the increase of eighty in the little town of Brownsburg, within a week of the election ; at a large increase in Morristown within a few days of the election; and all that increase upon the Buchanan side. Look at the increase in Allen county in the township in which Fort Wayne lies. Take the vote of Tippocanoe county. The Republican increase has been about two hundred. The Buchaneer increase baa been look at it reader! one thousand and sixty-two, five times the Republican gain, though there, as here, hundreds of Ger mans left the pro-slavery ranks, and voted the Republican ticket In Wayne township, Allen county, men Tsvij-i;iicltt FAaimta tf ntKor mtintiea walk ed np to the polls and voted, and a band of the lowest ruffians in the place, who are invariably "old liners," kept guard and pre vented all interference. The Republicans numerically but half as strong as their op ponents, were powerless. The scenes of the Kansas invasion were re-enacted, as they will be till the strong hand crashes out the villainies that are fostered by and foster such conduct They are the necessa ry concomitant of a policy that defends the extension of Slavery by arms, murder, arson and rape. There will be repeated every where, where safer means cannot avaiL Brownsburg was made the scene of similar outrage?, and at twenty other places we hear of their repetition. In De Kalb county.'on the Goshen Air Litie Railroad, one hundred and fifty Irish freshly arrived from some quarter,, nobody knew where, to work for a few days upon that road, voted in a body. They had uo residence in De Kalb, and no intention of staying longer than the contract kept them. Like ten thousand or more of the same kind in the State, they had no possible right to vote, and they should have been repelled by force, if force were neceseary, as was done in some of the Northern counties, where the people belhved they should make their institutions and not the Irish, who had neither interest or residence among them. In Noble county, at KendallviHe, one hundred of the Irish hands on the same rnilroad voted. In Whitley county, on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, abend of over one hundred Irish vof ed at Colum bia City. In Kosciusko two hundred Irish of the same lawless, unsettled race, by whom the "old line" party has won all its battles, tried to vote, but the people compelled them to obey the law by force. They were driven off as they ought to have been, and as they should be everywhere. Irish emigrants have the same right to vote as other residents, but not such men as these who infest every every region where a rail road runs, during election times. In Allen county, on the Tiffin Railroad, fifty Irish voted, though they had not been in the State two weeks. " ' In Logansport, Cass county, seventy-five Irish came in and voted in one squad, though they had never lived in the place, or even been in it before. In Huntington county Indians were ier- mitted to vote the Buchanan ticket and numbers of Irish voted two or three times. jT A report was current here at the time, that the wagon of the Mt Eaton Band, had upset on its return home from the Democratic Mass Meeting held in Mil- lersburg on the 19th ult, and that one of their number was so much injured, as to cause his death next day. ' Tbe report, it seems, was a false one. . The band got home safe. It seems that a Mr. Stacfe. a member of the band was lying very ill at the time of their visit here, and has sines died, which probably had something to do in starting the report Fires in the Michigan Woods. Ex tensive fires have prevailed this month in the woods, prairies and swamps of differ ent portions of Michigan, doing much dam age to timber, fences, soil, dec. In Mon roe, Shiawasse, Ingham, Eaton, and other counties, the destruction of timber has been very great The pineries suffered se verely. In many sections of the State the smoke was almost suffocating, making days so dark that lights had to be kept burning in houses snd offices. The fires extended into Canada, burning over twamps sa well as timbered lands.
