The U. S. Marshal who was Stabbed.

The Ashtabula Sentinel thus W
the question, "Who is J.G. Elliot?
The notoriety this fellow has acquired
has started the question, who he is: For
many years we knew him well in Ham
iltch. Butler county, and in 1o48 he ac-
ted and voted with the Freesoil party,
and served on committees, because of his
intense readiness to do any service where
distinction would be considered a COM
pensation. He did all the Dragging for
us, and an untold amount of lying on
his own account. Having been a prom
lnent locofoco of that county he was well
qualified for any sort of dirty work and
Of very little use to the Freesoilers. Of
course he could not stand ii long in that
company, and soon after returned to
his vomit." He had a natural penchant
forthe cheapest kind Of distinction, which
with his fine talent for drinking, swear.
ing and lying, most admirably qualified
dim for a deputy marshal. How he
came 10 put his carcass into peril on last
Saturday we cannot guess. He certain
ly had no idea of danger or he would
never have been stabbed. Naturally he
was a kindly disposed fellow, and we
doubt not he turned slave catcher for the
sake of the more consequence it gave
him. II he lived he would be one of the
first to assist runaways to Canada. He
has probably got his death and no more
than he deserves, though if dead, he
leaves a family who deserve sympathy.

The Examination of the Treasury

The State Journal of Monday corrects
its statement of Saturday that the Gov
ernor and Auditor had not acted under
the law of 1856 in regard to the exam
ination Of the Treasury. Auditor
WRIGHT has informed the editor of the
Journal that an examination was made
at the time specified in the act for max
ing it, and everything in The Treasury
was apparently correct. The journal
saws.
But il viii be asked, if Mr.. Wright
made this examination. and Mr.. Kelly
made an examination, and the COMMITTEES
Of Investigation made an examinatioHin into
the condition of the Treasury, and found
the money to be there, how was it accom-
plished? The answer is simple. Mr.. Glib
son, in his desire to screen Mr.. Bres!in, no
doubt borrowed the money for the time
being, from certain banks, and when he
thought the examination was closed, re-
turned it again. The knowledge, how
ever, that the law of the Republican
Legislature existed and would be en-.
forced by Governor Chase, and that an
examination would be made when he was
not prepared for it, was one of the chief
causes which led to an acknowledgment
of the deficit, and of the defalcati0n by
Breslin of FIVE hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
The plundered people would like to
know what banks aided Gibson in his ras-
cality TO cover up the rascalities of Bres.
lin. Let all the treasury robbers be ex
posed and punished, hit whom or where
it may.

A Sensible ~Sueculator.

A gentleman from the east, who has,
for the last three years, regularly passed
through this city on specializing tours
west, again made his appearance a few
days since, but to our surprise, he APP
peared in an unusual haste. We inquir.
ed if he did not intend to stop a few days,
as usual. He answered, mot a day
Said he, ''there will be a Tremendous
crash at the west shortly, and l intend
to hurry or as fast as possible" We
enquired when he would return, las he
had purchased property in this vicinity.
He replied, "As Don as l can sell every
lot and acre of land at the west" and
with apparent anxiety enquired if we
thought prices would give way any, be
fore he would get there. We ale told
that three farmers have recently return
ed from the west and purchased farms
in the adjoining towns. If any Lucas

Arctic Scenes on Lake Superior:

The steamer Lady Elgin, arrived al
Chicago on the 18th inst, from Superb
or, which port she left on the l2th. She
met with much impeachment from ice
At Grand Island the ice extended from
shore to shore, but after q delay of two
days she managed to force her way
through the pack. Marquette was still
closed with ice, and in some places il
lay in masses of twenty or thirty feet in
thickness, strongly reminding the behold
ers of the Arctic scenes SO graphically
described by DR.. Kane. Any one desi.
rous of experiencing the rigors of the
Arctic regions can do so with little
trouble if they take an early start to the
northwest by way of Lake Superior
Huge fields of ice almost in the middle
of June, and which will not probably
have disappeared before the the middle
of July, may not again obstruct naviga-
ton Of the lake at the same season for
the next century.

The Hail Storm in the District of Colin
bia,

Wa r"
The hail and thunder storm which
passed over the city of Washington and
its vicinity on Sunday afternoon, created
sad havoc to window glass, and also did
much other damage. From the Star we
gather the following particulars:
The Smithsonian Institution lost 600
panes of glass; Hughes, gardener. lost
Z, 500 panes and had his garden, flowers
and rare plants ruined. The beautiful
field of oats in the public square west of
the Smithsonian Institution is cut down
as if with a scythe. In nearly all the
private gardens the grape vines, peach
trees, strawberry vines and vegetables
are entirely ruined. The government
green house at the foot of the Capitol is
a complete wreck: the U, S. Hotel has
lost 400 panes Of glass and sustained 8
damage of some $500; the new govern
ment armory has lost every pane of glass
on the northwesterly front; the sky.lights
of the capitol, three Fights of an inch
thick, were crack and broken; the Ameri-.
can House Mrs. B~everidge's,) was
struck twice by lightning. by which
the top of a chimney was demolished,
the plastering torn off ceiling of the pri-
vale entrance and the carpet ripped up
in n of the parlors.
The lightning-rod at the Rev. Mr..
Teasdale's church undoubtedly saved
that edifce from destruction, as a ball of
FIRE was seen to pass down it causing
vivid light. Rev. Mr.. Carothers church,
corner ofFiftb and l streets. lostsome goo
panes of glass; the tin roof Of the church
was also badly bruised. The Rev. Mr..
Carothers himself, while in the neigh
borhood of the church, was so much
stunned by the electric fluid as to be rem
dered unconscious for a time. Grace
Church, Island, (Rev. Mr.. H~oluead's,)
also suffered severely from the hail.
The sky lights and windows of
Browns Hotel suffered not a little, as.
also did another exposed building, the
Catholic Orphan Asylum, on F st. Ii
is estimated that the cost 10 the govern
ment and corporation of repairing break
ages upon the street lamps will not be
less than $4,000. The Burnett House
lost 63 panes of glass; Mrs. Kings. F
street, 40; Trinity Church some $500 or
$500 worth of stained glass.
