Dan ltiCe's Great Show.

Those who visited the establish
ment were miserably sold. The pcrfor-
mances commenced at four o'clock, in
stead of two as advertised. The actors
were all second rate affairs, and poorly
skilled in their parts. Dan Rice, the
lion of the concern, did not appear in
the afternoon, but had it announced
that he would grace the audience by
his presence in the evening. Evening
Icame--Jark and muddy--but no Dan.
Indifferent acting was gone through
with, little boy courted little girl on
horseback, camel ran round the ring,
rhinoseros ditto, elephant walked rope
broader than his feet, boy tried to ride
the mule, got thrown for his trouble,
audience dispersed.

FEARFUL TORNADO IN ILLINOIS
DESTRUCTION OF AN ENTIRE VILLAGE.


Through gentleman who left Monmouth yester-
day morning, we learn many interesting particu-
lars OF the destruction of the village of Ellison by
whirlwind.
Fourteen persons were killed almost instantly and
ten more, 1t was supposed, were mortay wounded.
Of these latter, two died next, three on Monday
evening, making nineteen in all.
Among the dead are Mr.. John Hand his son.
about ten years of age, and babe, the latter of
whom is supposed to have been drowned. The whole
family appeared to have been whrled with the
fragments of their dwelling quite up into the air
and deposited a considerable distance from where
the house stood near slough. Mr.. Hand was car
ried about fifteen rods, and in his terrible fight re-
ceived frighttul wound in his side from timber
lie survived till the next morning. Mrs. Hand had
her infant IN her arms, when she struck the ground,
but the conclusion compelled her to let 90 her hold
upon 1t, and 1t was tossed some distance into the
slough, where she heard its cry, but owing to her
severe injuries, was unable to attempt its rescue
There she remained all night her person partly in
the water, and in the course of its dreary Watches
the dead body of her infant was drifted ashore and
she had 1t in her arms when discovered in the
morning.
Another family named McWiliams suffered terri
bly,. Miss Mary Ann McWiliams, about twenty
two; her sister Harriet aged about sixteen, and
her brother Thomas, about fourteen, are among the
dead, and the mother, eighty years of age-the
only remaining member of the family, except some
older children, who were living at a distance-was
very badly injured.
which prevailed, about fifty persons were very
seriously, and many more slightly injured.
The tornado struck the village about halfpast
five O'clock and during its continuance rain fell.
The houses were frame structures. The appear
ance OF the dwellings and structures after the pas
sage of the whirlwind, is described by one eye
witness Gas if should tear to pieces and scatter
n lumber yard of roofs and walls, and the vari-
Gus structures, there were seen in many instances
scarcely trace, if giants hand had reduced
and torn them to shreds and splinters They lay
scattered over the fields Here piece of broken
furniture, and there shattered door, and beyond
an undistinguishable mass of tmbers and boards,
floor beams ceiling and rafters Even the bodies
of some of the sufferers were torn to pieces!
An iron safe weighing nine hundred pounds was
taken from Johnsons store and carried thirty feet
Horses, cattle and hogs were taken up by the
wind, carried in the air and dashed to the earth,
killed by the fall.
The track of the whirlwind seems not to have
been very wide nor was its course long one
Scattered farm-houses about the village in various
directions still stand, and though the wind was
high were uninjured, but of the village proper
only three small cabins shanties which were to
the southwark of the line of desolating destruc-
tion, were spared.

NEW YORK NEWS.-JrNE s

The examination of Mr.. Henry Dwight on the
first charge of perjury arising out of his connection
with the Chicago, Alton and st. Louis Railroad
and Friday next has been fixed for rendering the
decision. This is but the first Of numerous cata
logue of criminal charges against Mr.. Dwight aris-
ing out of alleged frauds in the management of this
railroad, of which he was once director, and Of
which, according to the theory of the prosecution
he had always nearly the whole control Each
charge will be taken up in succession. They com
prise two charges ofperjury, one of embezzlcmemt,
and one or more of fraud
The two charges against Mestaver Pergelinc
importers of foreign goods-onc for resisting Gus
tom, House officers in search of supposed smuggled
goods, and the other for smuggling-have been dis
posed of within the last week by the United States
Circuit Court, by the acquitta of the defendants on
both indictments.
Between and O'Clock yesterday morning the
steam mahogany saw mill of Rodgers & Smith took
fire, and was entirely consumed The machinery
and stock, altogether valued at SOS, 900, were de
stroyed. a bakery store entirely DESTROYED
and SIX dwelling houses in the vicinity were more
or less injured. The total loss was about $50 O00
and insurance only 81 200. -Four fremcn BELONGING
to Hose Company No. l3, were injured by the fall
ing of a wall, the injuries of one of whom it is
thought will prove fatal.
The Republican General Committee of this CITY
met last evening and organized by choosing the usI-
al officers. A resolution sustaining Senators Sc
ward and King for their course in Congress with
reference to the British outrages, was discussed.
and finally laid on the table.

| FROM the Buffalo Commercial Of Wednesday eueningl
, RAILROAD lMBRoGLIo.-Our readers are aware
that the Buffalo, New York & Erie Railroad Co.
nave peen ior some time past engaged in making
connection between the Attica and Corning
branches of their road, and it was found necessary
to construct track from Attica to Batavia and to
cross the New York Central track to reach the
depot at Batavia, which belong in common to the
Buhalo, n. Y. E. and Central Companies. The
Central Company objectng to the crossing of their
track, the Buffalo, n Y. d Erie were compelled to
resort to the legal remedy. Application was made
before Judge Davis, at Albion, for the appointment
OF commissioners to assess the damages ensuing to
the Central Co. On the evidence had, the commits
sion awarded damages in the of $4,000.
, AT general term of the Supreme Court, held at
Batavia, the award was confirmed, and the $4,000
deposited in the Bank of Gennsoo to the VIvdit of
tho Central Co., under the order of the court. BY
the general railroad law Of the State this perfected
the right of the Buffalo, New York and Erie to
cross the track. During these proceedings the
Central Company applied to Judge in Troy, dis
tant 300 miles, for injunction restraining the
the Buffalo, New York and Erie Company from
taking legal measures to cross the track. This
injunction was granted, but was subsequently, set
aside. Another injunction then applied for
but denied, to restrain the Buffalo, New York and
Erie Company from crossing Evans street an un-
trequented highway in the village of Batavia
1t is needless to recite further the efforts made in
every form, the Central Company, prevent this
crossing. All legal measures having failed the
company, on Saturday last, drew up train of
lrelght cars at the crossing, ran them off the track
and kept locomotive fired up and in readiness all
through Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night
in order to collect their Irish and other workmen at
different points along the road, for the purpose of
resisting by force any attempt to lay down the track
This intention was openly avowed and the dctermi-
nation fully expressed to prevent the crossing at all
hazards.
Thus matters stand at present. We understand
that the b., N. Y. Erie Co. will proceed at once in
accordance with their legal rights to lay down the
track, and II the Central Company attempt to en-
force their threats will call in aid the power of the
county.
