friends ofthose on board are most distressing.

The celebrated F. Z. Barnum, among the other
achievements Of his genius, established in his

recently made murderous assault with n
slung hot, upon the reporter of the German
Republi can paper of that city. The re-
porter, who is said to be very small man,
and of inoffensive disposition, translated
from the Gazette an article on lottery

took to himself. and undertook to murder
the reporter in broad daylight in the street.
Levy was arrested and released on bail of

Total Destruction Of 4; Town by a
TOrnhdO-LOSS Of Life.

Through a gentleman who left Mon
mouth, yesterday morning. we learn many
interesting particulars of the sad tragedy
attending the destruction Of the village
Ellison by whirlwind.
Fourteen persons were killed almost in
stantly, one less than was stated by tele-
graph, and ten more it was supposed were
mortally 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 age, and babe,
the latter of whom is supposed to have
been drowned. The whole family ap-
peared to have been whirled with the frar-
ments of their dwelling quite up into the
air and deposited a considerable distance
from where the house stood near a slouuh.
Mr.. Hand was carried about fifteen rods,
and in his terrible flight received fright
ful wound in his side from timber. He
survived till the next morning. Mrs.
Hand had her infant in her arms when
she struck the ground. but the concussion
compelled her to let go her hold upon it,
and it 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 re-
naind all night, her person partly in the

which tends to fasten the guilt of the
transaction on the contractors themselves,
who thereby realized far more from the
Government than ifiheyhad delivered the
supplies according 20 contract. One cor
respondent writes as follows:
"a recent traveller from the camp
brings corroborating proof that the trains
burned up last winter or fall were confia-
grated by the contractors, who would get
moro by this mode of disposing of their
cargoes than by delivering them. He says
that the wheels were carefully taken off the
wagons before the latter were committed
to combustion, which is thought to be
strong indication that the burning WAS not
the work of either Mormons or Indians.
Splendid private fortunes will he made by
methods analogous to this operation. out
