Monday, June ., 1870.
The Money market has undergone no mate
rial change. The demand to-day, as heretofore,
is chiefly for speculative purposes, very little
commercial paper being offered. The supply is
not only ample but far in excess of present
wants We quote demand loans at 3@4 per
cent. on good and choice collaterals- Discounts
are quiet and very easy at 5G6 per cent. for
good paper only. Both the banks and private
lenders are carrying large balances which they
cannot employ at current rates.
Gold continues dull, and without speculative
movement. The range up to noon is 1890
11416, closing at the latter.
In Government securities the transactions are
light, and prices are slightly off on portion of
the list.
The stock market was comparatively quiet,
but prices are not much changed City loans
were active and stronger with sales of the new
6s at 100@1001s. Lehigh gold loan fell off, SELL
ing at 9219'
Reading Railroad was firm but inactive. Sales
at 5416 Penna was lower, sales at 80. Lehigh
Valley changed hands at 5S. Camden and Am
boy at 12015, and Philadelphia and sErle

of Lehigh at $685. and schuylkill preferred at

UP IN A TORNADO.
Freak of the Wind In NIOntana-A Man Sails
Through the Air on the Roof of a House.

Through the Air on the Roof of n House.
During the past three weeks there has been
succession of tornadoes in the valley at Deer
Lodge City, Montana, unpleasant as unprece-
cedented. They last from one to three hours
and are succeeded by perfect calm. Their
general direction is from northwest to southeast.
The width of the storm track is not over mile,
its greatest violence being confined to belt of
200 or 400 yards, crossing the valley diagonally
a short distance below town, and occasionally
the side current giving them lively shaking
up in the village. The first two wasted their
fury on fences trees, and moderate-siZed boul-
ders tossing them about like jack-straws, and,
just by way of variety, wrenched couple of
logs out of the Decker building, in the lower
art OF the town. But the third played piece of
diabolism not on the bills.
Mr.. A. Elliott recently purchased the Hall
farm on Cottonwood creek, a half mile from
town. 1t has on 1t double log house, one story,
having roof area of seventeen by forty feet
On it there is dirt roof. Mr.. Elliott was en-
gagged in reroOfng it with boards and had it
about completed on Saturday when the storm
began. His son, lad of a dozen years, was on
one corner, and he on the comb AS the whirl-
wind dipped he called to his son to Jump down,
and Mr.. Elliot clasped the comb projection of
the boards to prevent being blown to the ground.
just at the instant the entire roof, rafters and
all, was lifted from the building, and raising
with the whirlwind. sailed away, attaining an
altitude of about forty feet at the greatest,
and landing one hundred and eighty-nine
feet from the house., where Mr.. Elliott
was dumped by the concussion; the
roof performed a somersault over him. and was
scattered in a thousand fragments over the
valley. Strange as it may appear, Mr. Elliot Il
only slightly bruised. The lad was uninJured
the board roof gliding out from under him
leaving him sitting disconsolate on the dirt roof
while his father was abandoning him at the rate
| of sixty miles an hour. When IL is considered
that the roof contained 1900 feet of lumber was
nailed to heavy log rafters, and that the whole
affair was carried 1S9 feet intact some idea o.

DISASTER.
Destruction of the santee sioux Mission

Destruction of the Santee Sioux Mission by n
Hurricane
The following telegram from the Rev. Samuel
d. Hinaman was received this morning, by
William Welsh Esq, of this city,
Mission and hospital utterly destroyed by
hurricane. Family safe."
These are sad tidings for the friends of this
mission to the Sioux Indians. The church,
school house, hospital, and mission house were
most tasteful, convenient, and effective in their
influence upon the Indians. The loss will no
doubt exceed fifteen thousand dollars, and the
Indians will be much depressed, as through
these buildings they were buoyed up with the
evidence of the white mans interest in them.
Fortunately such calamities usually awaken a
deep interest in the sufferers, and it is to be
hoped that in this case this effective mission
will not be allowed to languish.

TROY, June 6.-The railroad bridge in this
city was set on fire this morning and narrowly
escaped destruction. In May, 1862 the bridge
which formerly occupied the site of the present
one was burned, and the disaster involved the
destruction of the business portion of the city.
Had there been high wind this morning the
catastrophe of 1862 might have been repeated.

A despatch from Sioux City, dated June g.
SAYS
General Hancock arrived last evening on the
steamer Miner, on his return from distributing
troops at the different Indian agencies on the Upper
Missouri, between this point and Cheyenne. Upon
his arrival here he visited by Mr.. Collins, editor
OF the Sioux City Times, who called his attention to
the dispatches from Washington, OF May %, charg-
ing him with having shown dscOurtesy to the Presi
dent on different occasions while the latter the
General of the army; the said dispatches also stat
ing these allegations as reason why the President
refused TO assign General Hancock to a command
commensurate with his rank, and at the same time
giving to junior a command Of higher grade over
General Hancock. The General unhestatngly
asserts these allegations to be In the main false and
SAYS that he intends early OCCASION after hav
ing seen what has been published in reference to
this subject while absent on the Upper Missouri, TO
formally reply to the allegations, as charged, in
detail, they seeming to bear the impress OF autho
rity, and this occasion Offering to him the only
opportunity hitherto presented that warranted a
formal reply TO such allegations. General Hancock
was not aware of the publication OF the dispatches,
or any part of them, correct or incorrect, as pub
lished the origin or cause OF their publication
until he read the newspapers containing them, two
days since, at Fort Randall, and therefore is not
conversant with all that has gained credence during
his absence,
