\ THRILLING CASE or So,lNAMBULIsM.
The Detroit FIRE. Press relates that
on the night Of the 18th September, Mr.
Israel Noreton. of that city, was awakened
and called out of his house by man who
requested him to walk across the street
and look at the top Of his dwelling. He
at first hesitated, suspectine foul play
but seeing shadow pass along the front
of the house opposite, he crossed oyer, and
ON looking up, beheld female PACING
along the ridgepolc, in her night dress,
her hair hanging in confusion about her
shoulders. Says the Press:
This spectral form paced slowly to and
fro on the narrow ridge-board which coy-
cred the apex Of the roof approaching in
irightiul proximity Of the abrupt termina-
ton at the ends and calmly turning about
TO retrace the distance, The house was a
high one, and a misstcp or % step too far
would have plunged the night walker down
to certain destruction. Thu walker occa,
sionally raised her hand to her head, as
though ENGAGED IN 'houCht or troubled
with pain. The head always maintained
the same position. \ chimney stood dir
ectly in the middle Of the roof, around
which she passed with ease, Placing one
hand upon its top, and WALKING down
the sloping roof to get around. Once in
this spectral walk she paused at the edge
OF the roof and looked straight ahead.
A waiyiug movement of the RIGHT hand
accompanied the act, when the walk was
again renewed. The same spot was
reached again few moments after, when
the figure again paused and again gazed
out into the darkness aud ihen,witb a
slow motion stretched ont hand, and
with outspread fingers clutchcl at some

A SPoNGB.-For more than two years
Cornelius Vanderbilt has been receiving a
monthly subsidy of $40, 900, or $3.50, 900 e
year, from the Pacific Steamship Company
and the Atlantic United States Company, in
consideration of his Withholding the boats
of the Nicaraguan Company from compe-
tition with their lines to California. This
subsidy has been further increased within
the present year, paid to Mr.. Vanderbilt as
the price of his private compromise with
Mr.. @. K. Garrison, whom he was ostensi-
bly, prosecuting for alleged damage done by
him to the Nicaragua Company. All this
immense sum Mr.. Vanderbilt has put in
his own private pocket; but the members
of thu Nicaragua Company, of which he
was President, manager and principal
stakeholder, have brought suit against him
for a share in the bonus.

ing it when met by the stage on the 18th
ult., was twenty miles east of Fort Yuma,
and about seven hundred and eighty miles
out from San Francisco. The message
would be delivered in that city, it was
thought, in less than seventeen days.
Two droves of sheep one of $4,000 head,
and the other of 10000, collected in Texas
and destined for California, were seen cross
ing the river near the Fort.
The mining operations on the ella river
were productive, but the extreme high price
Of provisions had discouraged the miners,
and fifty were met returning to California.
Others, however, were doing well and max
ing handsome profits above the cost of
living. Flour was S25 per barrel, and
other breadstufs were about the some rela-
tive price. Several vessels had left San
Francisco loaded with provisions for the
mouths of the ella and Colorado rivers, by
the way of the Gulf of California. This, it
is expected, would afford some relief to the
miners.
Three companies of United States Ora
goons had gone out from Los Angeles with
train of eighteen wagons, to establish
post in the Navajo country, three hundred
miles above Fort Yuma, on the Colorado
river. The Navajos, after driving back the
mail, which was returning from Stockton to
Kansas City, Missouri, had declared that no
more mail parties should pass through their
Territory, and that they would massacre the
next one which came in their way.
Along the Butterfeld Route, the one over
which Mr.. NJ. came, the employees of the
Mail Company and the Camanches were
virtually at war. The former are sturdy,
hardy fellows, and seemed more anxious to
fight than their Indian enemies. They
were building strong station houses of
adobes or stones, and had from ten to TWEEN
ty guns at each of them. The Camanches
had gone to station beyond the Lame Es-
facade, and run off twenty-seven mules
When the stage arrived there the station
men were all out hunting for their lost
stock, and the coach was compelled to keep
on forty miles further with the same team
for want of a relay. Apprehensions of a
serious difficulty with the Camanches exist
ed along the line east of Rio Grande. The
weather had been wonderfully severe in
California, and as far as heard from in all
the valleys of Utah and Airzonia.
Mining operations in California were
prosperous, and more encouraging accounts
had been received from the Frazer's River
Diggings.
An unfortunate druggist in San Fran
cisco, who had caused the death of a man by
administering fatal dose of laudanum by
mistake, was so affected by the consequences
Of his carelessness, that in a moment of de-
preston, he committed suicide by taking
prussic acid.

MEXICAN ISLANDERS OF MR. FoRsYTns.-
Correspondents of the New York papers
in Mexico give an account of the discovery
of $4,000 in silver bars buried on the pre-
misses lately occupied by Mr.. Forsythe, the
American minister in Mexico. The silver
is supposed to be composed of the melted
ornaments stolen from the Cathedral Mora
liza, that was plundered in one of the politi-
cal events that have disturbed the city
during The past year. 1t is alleged that Mr.
Forsythe sympathized in the movement in
which the church was robbed, and was ac-
cessory to the concealing of the plumber.
There is no proof of any such completely,
but the fact of quantity of silver being
found buried in his garden, and which, it is
supposed, may be the melted ornaments of
the Cathedral. The silver might have been
concealed on the premises before or after his
occupancy of the house; or even while he
was an inmate of it, without his knowledge.
The circumstances are altogether too slight
to warrant SO serious charge against a
man of honor and high social position, rs
that Of instigating a robbery, and afterwards
receiving and concealing the stolen property
The papers that publish such ISLANDERS are
libelling not only Mr.. Forsythe personally,
but the country whose representative he
was.

Frauds upon the state Treasury.
Mr.. Hamilton Smith, an active member
OF the Committee Of Ways and Means, to
whom was especially assigned the duty of
investigating, personally, the management
ana condition of the affairs of the State
Treasury, made speech to his constituents
In Perry county, during the recent Legisia-
tive interim, in which he made some start
ling statements. He said at the date when
the loan was made last summer for money
10 pay the July interest, there ought to
have been, according to the books, the sum
OF five hundred and three thousand dollars
in cash in the public treasury; enough to
have paid both July and January interest,
and to have borne all the expenses of the
State for the current year, without borrow
ing or taking dollar from the people by
taxation. Instead of containing the large
balance which the books exhibited, the
Treasury was at that time empty.
What had become of the enormous sum
the investigation had not yet disclosed; by
further examination he hoped to expose
the guilty parties and the purposes for
which the money had been used. The COM
mittee had INST with great difficulty in pur-
suing these Investigations they were resisted
By the officers of the departments, and OPP
posed by their friends, and discouraged by
persons whose duty it was to have exposed
these criminal peculations and waste of
public money. Mr.. Smith had regretted to
and himself unsustained in his labors to
protect the finances of the people, by his
own political friends, but he pledged him.
self to his constituents that he would per-
severe in the investigation till the whole
truth should be known, if there was sufi-
eisut number of upright men of either party
In the House to sustain him in his attempts
70 probe the corruption to the bottom. If
he shall carry out this purpose resolutely,
unswerved by the frowns or cajoleries OF
the corrupt cliques in both parties who have
participated in the plumber, Mr.. Smith will
merit the applause of the people of the
State.
