New YORK, Feb. eli


The Tinns special Washington dispatch
Saturday evening, as Mr.. D. B. Martin, who
has been exposing certain frauds on the part
of United States Marshal Pine, of Illinois,
was leaving his hotel to fill an engagement
with Senator Davis. he was arrested by an
officer on a search warrant issued upon the
oath OF John 5. Little-who is at Washing
ton to defend Pine-that Martin had in his
possession valuable papers distracted from
the Ma shals office, and belonging to Gov
ernment. Martin surrendered when his
pockets were searched. The officer then
proceeded to Martins room, accompanied
by Little, when they read all of Martins
correspondence, including letters from his
wife. II. S. Fitch, son of Senator Fitch
was also present and reading Martins cor
respondence. The object appeared to be to
ascertain the names of parties engaged in
having Pine removed. After careful read
Ing of Martins letters, the parties proceeded
to the room of Mr.. Chancellor, a particu-
lar friend of Senator Douglas, and there
overhauled his private correspondence. To-
day a warrant was procured and sent to New
York for the arrest of Little on the charge
of perjury, he having left in afternoon train
for New York. A requisition will be sent
for him tomorrow. Several distinguished
gentlemen are interesting themselves in the
matter, and there is no telling where it will
end. The attempt is making to break the
force of complaidt against Pine, by i'm
peachiug the witnesses. Martin was late
book-keeper to the Marshal

The river continues to rise rapidly, and,
judging by the accounts from above, we
may expect an overflow, at least, of the dis
trict below Pigeon Creek. Last evening
the water had reached the street at the
lower end of the bridge, and the people in
that part of town were preparing to remove
their household and other goods. 1t was
thought, by some, that the bridge would be
swept away. The river, from Locust to
Sycamore streets, is within a few rods of
the store-doors, and with rise of few
more feet the boats will be able to get up
into town. A large amounr<W freight is
upon the wharf awaiting shipment, not
much of which, however has been lost
Laborers were hard at work all day yester-
day, and till late hour last night, moving
the freight beyond the reach of the swelling
food.
We are indebted to Mr.. Chauncy for late
New Orleans papers brought by the steamer
Pacific On the 18th, the True Delta re-
ported business more animated, and an in
crease of steamboat arrivals. No change in
upper country freights, and more freight
for shipment than could be taken by the
boats.
The Charley Bowen is the regular packet
for Cairo to-day. She will leave at twelve
o'clock.
Telegraphc dispatches received yester-
day report tremendous rise at all points
above. The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
depot at Cincinnati is in the water. The
telegraph line between Lawrenceburgh and
Cincinnati is also under water, and the rail-
road track between Lawrenceburgh and
Aurora is covered by the flood. When the
rise from above reaches this point, we shall
probably witness rise, the like of which
is not in the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tant.

MONEY SToLEN.-Y yesterday morning,
when Mr.. Vennemann, Treasurer of the
county, went to his safe, he found that some
$50, left there on Saturday night, was miss
ing No locks were beoken, and nothing
about the room was disturbed in the least
Three gold dollars were left in little tin
box in which it was usual to keep the gold
The rebber, whoever he may have been,
seemed either to be in too great hurry to
diligently seek for all the money, or else
felt benevolently disposed, and concluded
to leave the three dollars as "nest egg
for the county. Mr.. Vennemann thinks the
robber must have had key to fit both the
lock on the door of the room and also that
ON the safe. Fortunately most of the mon
ey received for taxes on Saturday had been
deposited in bank, or the thief would
have gained a sum worth speaking about

IYvALIDs REJoICE.--A new era is taking
place in the science of medicine. The time
has come when the worst and most appall-
ing cases of disease can be cured New
discoveries are being made in the medicinal
agents employed, as well as in the art of
combining and preparing them. Four
years trial has fully established the fact,
that DR.. Eastery's Family medicines are the
best and most certain curatives known for
the diseases for which they are recommend
ed. Every family should keep a supply on
hand, and thereby save doctors bills, and
much suffering. DR.. Easterly's Iodine and
Sarsaparilla DR.. Carriers Cough Balsam,
DR.. Easterlys Fever and Ague Killer, DR..
Hoopers Female Cordial and DR.. Baker 8
Specific are all meeting with a rapid sale
and are universally approved. Over One
Hundred Thousand Dollars of these popular
articles have been sold within the last two
years. See the advertisements in our col
umnS.

BSy~ Great fears are entertained that al
most the entire country known as the
Bayou, several miles below this city, will
be flooded and great deal. of valuable
property destroyed. The river is now quite
over the banks in many places on the Ken
lucky side, just opposite here, and the
water has already covered wide fields and is
still advancing. We learn that some 2, 500
or 5000 feet of the telegraph wire between
this city and Henderson, has been entirely
submerged.

neA. No little thing is of such great con-
venience TO SO large number as to have
every house in city Systematically and
neatly numbered. The amount of time
saved in giving directions, is of much more
value than the expense of putting the num-
bers on every mans house. We have often
wondered why it was, that some enterpris.
ing man didn't take this thing in hand and
have it done. None of our citizens, we
think, would refuse to pay-say 25 cents
for every number put up, and that would
remunerate any one handsomely for his la
bor.- piece of tin about two inches
square neatly painted black, with the figure
in some other color, would cost but little,
and be just the thing.

Bas- At the last meeting Of the City
Council Messrs. Saunders City Engineer
and Mentzer, one of the Conncilmen, were
appointed committee of two to make i'll
quiries as to the best plan that can be adopt
ed for the improvement of Main street from
Water to Eighth The Committee is anx-
ious to give the matter a close consideration
and request US to say that any of our cti-
zens who have any suggestion to make as
to the best course tobe pursued, will confer
a great favor upon the Committee, by leav-
ing those suggestions with them.

DaS@ Some months ago we published an
account of the disinterment of living frog,
by some miners engaged at work in the
Bodiam Coal Mines, near this city. AL
though our statement was substantiated by
the affidavits of the men who discovered the
frog, yet many doubts were expressed as to
its correctness We now take the opportu-
nifty of substantiating our story by similar
in New York city, by Messrs. Rudd & Car
Teton, entitled, Curiosites of Natural His
tory:
A few days ago. as two colliers were
working coal in apt in the neighborhood
of Bathgate, Linlithgowshire, they were
astonished, on breaking a large piece OF
coal, to see a living frog skip nimbly from
it. The niche in which it had lived was
perfectly smooth, and of the exact shape OF
the frog. The hind legs of the animal are
twice as large as those of any ordinary frog,
the fore legs are almost gone. 1t is beau
full bronze color. 1t leaped briskly about
the moment that it was liberated from its
dark abode. How many generations il
may have been shut up from light and all
it is impossible to say certain it is that al
though diminutive in form, and with grea
brilliancy of eye, it is a very antediluvian
looking customer. 1t inspires us with
kind of fear to be brought into contact witt
a living being that has, in all probability
breathed the same air as Noah, or disporte(
in the same limpid stream in which Adam
bathed his sturdy limbs.

R@" Messrs. Welsch, Gwinn, Deane, and
Buffalo Bill were taken before the City Re-
oorder on Saturday, charged with drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. They were
fined 50 and costs. Being little short of
funds, they preferred boarding out the
amount with the Sheriff, and were, accord
ingly, committed to Jail. Such gents as
these ought to be put to work On the street.

nA. Last week, in Cincinnati, widow
er, upwards of forty, engaged in business
down town, ran away with, after having
married, young lady who numbers less
summers than some of his older children
Of course an immoderate amount of gossip
has been the consequence, although many
friends of the youthful bride insist that it
is better to be an old mans darling than a
vnnnr mans slave.
