The stupendous defalcations of the St.
Louis City Treasurer are only equalled by
The extensive speculations of Collector Bailey.
BY his own confession, the Treasurer stands
convicted of having lost to the city some
$4,000. 1t seems clear that he was led in
to the desperate venture by the hope of max
ing enough money to cover up his first crimi-
nal act 1t is the old story of the gambler,
led step by step to ruin by the delusion that
one more daring venture and past misfor-

sinking under the weight of debt that bore
him down, he absconded, but was soon over
taken by the law. Susisky says that his New
York ventures were at the instance and adj
vice of others. The general aspect of the case
indicates that there was, if not confederates
in the business, at least some person or per-
sons who urged him forward by suggestions.
The embeZZement has created the most pro-
found sensation in st. Louis, and everywhere
the details are perused and discussed with the
deepest interest. The extraordinary interest
excited was in part owing to the suddenness
of the disclosures and their being wholly I'M
expected, at least by the public in general
The grand feature, however, that astonished
everybody was the magnitude of the sums
embezzled, which cast utterly into the shade
the operations of other official speculatons.

tore the people some eight months ago after long de

| are informed by our Agents, that the remedies ar
curing more patients in Maine than all the apothe
carries and patent medicines combined.
You say that we blow "p0tassa," ts'mercury," SC

only be induced to take it by deceit and mis-reprt

As to '.potassa, 4ou will see nothing in our wr

Some incidents connected with the Medina,
Ohio, fire are worthy of mention. The lire
lasted about four hours, burning every busi-
ness block in the village excepting two. Men,
women and children fought the flames with the
only available means-buckets-bu were driv-
en- back. Many persons were severely burned,
but there was no loss of life. Many merchants
had but recently stocked their stores with new
goods, while others were on their way to pur-
chase. The Courthouse and several churches
caught fire a number of times, but were saved.
On Tuesday night, the 18th inst, a tract of
land containing about three acres, lying upon
both sides Of the highway, and situated about
four miles south of Marcellus village, Onon-
daga county, N. Y, was upheaved during the
night by some subterranean force, the surface
| being piled into hillocks as high and as large
as a house, and huge cracks and crevasses
| were opened, which extend irregularly all over
| it. The ground where the tract crosses the
| public road was thrown into the most fantas-
| tic shapes, rendering the road impossible. 1t
| is supposed the earthquake took place about
midnight, but no noise was heard in the vcin-
| itv, although some inexplicable sounds were
| reported as being heard at Marcellus. A strong
| smell of sulphur is noticed in tie vicinity of
| this remarkable occurrence, but nothing fur
| ther to indicate the cause of the upheaval No
buildings were on the land.
