nearly one hundred men, women and
children. mostly white, engaged in pick

OpiniOnI Of this zear,s Crlni.

The crops, throughout the civilized
world, give cheering promise OF an
abundant harvest. Throughout Canada
the condition of the crops affords the
most sanguine hopes. The late rains,
though in some instances they may have
done injury, in general done incalculable
good. According TO the Montreal Pans,
the quantity oflani under grain in Liver
Canada, is unusually great. The grain
harvest OF the Continent Of Europe prom
ises he most brilliant results. Ia some
Of the southern districts Of France ii is
already being secured. In England all
kinds OF crops look better than they have
for years past. In some of the southern
States ofthe Union The new wheat has al
ready been brought into market. The
New York JoaTaal@ Commerce. say that
new North Carolina red wheat was ex
hibited on change on Friday. Il was a
sample Of 10. 1000 bushels which appears
very well. although it may have been cut
a little too green. -Bafalo Commercial

Fatal Sunday Fracas in Virginia.

The Washington Star of the 29th
gives the following particulars:
Manuel A. Austin, who killed one
of the young Birches yesterday, at
Mt. Carmel meeting house, Balls cross
roads, Alexandria county Va, is a
teacher in the Sunday school at the Vir-
GINA Theological Seminary, (~Episcopal.)
near Alexandria. Mount Carmel is a
missionary station, connected with the
Seminary, and Austin was the teacher
or superintendent of the Sunday school,
sent up from the Seminary to manage it.
He bore the reputation of being as
peacable and orderly as any youth in the
State.
1--WE have, within the last four years,
repeatedly had to mention acts Of vi
olence perpetrated by the gang of row
dies and r%ufians generally eongregating
in the vicinity OF Balls cross roads, and
Of our OWL knowledge are aware of their
habit of disturbing public worship at
Mount Carmel, by standing in the door
way, and cursing and swearing during
the service, for tie avowed purpose OF
preventing public worship at that place.
Also. that III SO great a terror of them did
the neighborhood stand, as that the
children dreaded to 90 to Stbba.h school
there, fer fear OF their lives.
We learn by genilem,n from the
neighborhood of this lameutable occur

threatened with his life during the pas
week by the parties who made the at.
tack upon him, if he persisted in going
to the Sunday schoo that on his APPEAR.
ance there they attacked him with stone;
and cllbs on The face; that James Birch.
on inlerccp,ing Austin at the schoo
room door, seized him by the hair of the
head with one hand and b. the leg will
the other hand; that Austin asked Birch
to let him alone, as lie did not want t.

IS he could, with several Of the parties
kicking and beating him; that Austin
fired three shots, retrealiDg after eacl

in the. region of Birch's heart, killing
him almost instantly.

The Democrat of last week contained
v articles, one very long and labored,
upon the State DefaIcation. As it has
done in every former case, SO now il
has concealed material facts, and en-
-sirely distorted the truth. Il quotes
from Auditor Wright's Report, the fol
lowing:
1.-The amount of the available balance
in the Treasury, on the 18th November,
1856, has been stated IN a preceding
page. deem it proper to say that the
accuracy of the amount reported was AS
c~eriained, net only b. the books Of his
Office. and those Of tie Treasury depart
meat, but By personal examination and
count IF tie funds in tie Treasury U1ultS,
as required by the provisions of the act
of April 8h, 1885,"
Now why did the Democrat keep back
The very important fact that Breslin had
received from the County Treasurers,
between the l5.h Of December 1855,
and the 5th Of January 1856. the round
sum of screen hundred and sirty thousand
dolIars, OF whioh little amount, he lad
made no account wh0te0ef, upon the Treas
Urer's books, and of which little transac-
ton. Auditor Wright had no record, hu'
which oSly came to The light when The
receipts which Breslin had given 10 The
County T~reasurers, were brought in Is
til in Their settlements for tie year
1856. after the Report was made by
Au Iitor Wright.
OF this sum only 52I2.0OO.
has ever been repaid into the TT asury
by Breslin.
A:ain, the Democrat says:
Besides all this. and As a climax to
rthe ~hrie, Nc. K.ll-y on the 90 n OF
March. Was furnished by Treasurer Gu
son with aRECElPT TO The STATE
acknowledging the full payment by Mr.
Breslin If all money due The State IA the
close OF his (Breslin's) Term uf cHice, ex-
sept the amount of $2le COO heretofore
referred 10.
This is simply untrue Mr.. Gibson
has given no such receipt. Mr. Gibson
has rcceipted the sum of S9I2. coo, bat
not tie balance ofMe s76j.O0O. and The
record shows that $3.50. GOO. still remains
unpaid by Breslin. The receipts of
.Breslin 10 the Cunty Treasures for the
whole sun Of $4,000 (of which some
3le. 600 was paid by the Treasurer OF
TrumbuIl County, are now on file IN
.the Treasures office. OF this sum Glib
son charges, and Breslin does not deny,
shat $500 o0 is unpaid. and that this is
y. here that amount has gone.
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1857-07-22

If Mr.. Gibson had made a statement
that Breslin's account was settled, al
though such a statement might make
Gibson liable. it Dies not pay back tn
money, AMI says the o. S. Journal, Nc
more establishes the fact as against the
record than did the assertion of Breslin,
that Bliss hal paid up in full all the sum
due from him. These stat mentS may
make the parties legally liable for the
money, but they do not for a moment
change The fat Thevdo not pat lie cash
in tie treasury. Tie fact that Bliss was
behind. is now admitted and known to
all. Breslin's assertions tina: he waS not
behind, did not change the fact. So, in
the present case. Gibson, has C nctaled
the defalcation of Breslin. hoping. per
haps, that he would pay up all. and
make all right, as Bliss did, but that did
not put the money in the Treasury.
The ''record" shows that Breslin got
the money. 1t does not show that It has
been paid back. Gibson shows where
it is. Breslin does not deny it and there
the case sta ds.
Ii is not in the power Of the Demo
cratic presses TO change these facts.-
They may di,tori, conceal, and give
gaIbled accounts, but the facts viii make
themselves both seen and heard. We
have not attempted TO apologize for, or
e~xtenuate the fault Of Mr.. Gibson. Ii
is enough t know tha' he has attempted
to conceal the Plundering OF the Treas
ury, by his Democratic brother in-law,
and that to do it he has made false
statements. By doing this he has vio-
lated hie trust. made himself AMI his
bondsmen liable. But what measure OF
guilt has Breslin reached, who has rob
bed the State Of over half a million Of
dollars?
That is one questi n for our Demo
cratic contemporary to solve; and as the
Grand Jury OF Frarklin County have
indicted both Gibson and Breslin for
embezzlement, aud Gibson has made
his appearance, and given bail in Tie
sum of 500, 600, and Breslin at the
last advices, was missing, we would ask
the TRANQUIL Democrat, another ques-
ton viz. Where is Breslin?

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-A case has
just come to our knowledge, which is truly
wonderful. Some of the relatives of
Elizabeth Leland, of Hu3tsburgh in this
county, who died something over nine
years ago, aged 81 years, were reDov-
ing her remains, as well as those of her
husband, James Lelan1, from the bury
ing ground in the west part of the town
to that st the center of the town, discov-
cred that she was perfectly petrifed. and
retained all the freshness and natural
ness CT life. The corpse had the appear
ance of being solid limestone. and pre-
seuted the appearance which distinguish
ed it at dcath-the hair of the head as
well as the fneaments Of the face. being
true to life. We do not remember Of
hearing of a similar case in this section
of country, although in some localities
it is not remarkable.
The matter may be accounted for, per.
haps, upon the ground that Mrs. Leland
did rot die of disease, but was found
dead in her bed, supposed to have died
in consequence Of the nightmare.
RY-Since the above was in type, we
have received \ letter from a grandson
of The deceased. c~orroGorating the above
statement, with the additional fact that
ewing to the excessive weight of the
body in its petriiied state, that il requir-
ed six strong men to remove 1t from the
grave, and that Of four to place it in a
wagon. He also adds thati: was thoug' {
by some that exposure 10 the air would
partially decompose the body, but after
being exposed for eight hour: it still re-
tanned its perfect shape and soliiity.-
