inion of the Court, that disabled soldiers resid-
ing in the National Soldiers Home at DAYTON,

The case giving rise to the decision was that

A Freak of Wind in Montana-A
Man Sails Through the Air on the
Roof of a House,

During the past three weeks there has been
a succession of tornadOes in the valley at Deer
Lodge City, Montana, unpleasant as unprece-
dented. They last from one to three hours,
and are succeeded by 4 perfect calm. Their
general direction is from northwest o south
east. The width of the storm track is not
over mile, its greatest violence being confined
to belt of 200 to 400 yards, crossing the val
ley diagonaly a short distance below town,
and occasionally the side current giving them
n lively shaking up in the village. The first
two wasted their fury on fences, trees and
moderate sized boulders, tossing them about
like jack-straws, and, just by the way of vari-
ETY., wrenched Il couple of logs out of the
Decker building, III the lower part of the town.
But the third played piece Of diabolism not
on the bills.
Mr.. A. Elliott recently purchased the Hall
farm on Cottonwood Greek, half mile from
town. It has on it a double log house, one
story, having roof area of seventeen by forty
feet. On it there is dirt roof. Mr.. Elliott
was engaged in re-roofing it with boards, and
had it about completed on Saturday when the
storm began. His son, a lad Of dozen years,
was on one. corner and he on the comb As
the whirlwind dipped, he called to his son to
jump down, and Mr.. Elliott 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 build
ing, 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 conclusion; the
roof performed a sommersault over him, and
was Scattered in a thousand fragments over
the valley Strange as it may appear, Mr..
Elliott is 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
it is considered that the roof contained 1000
feet of lumber, was nailed to heavy log rUlfters,
and that the whole affair was carried lS9 feet
intact some idea Of the force of the whirlwind
may he obtained. The distance is given by
Mr. Clagett, who measured it Immediately
after the occurrence. The escape of Mr.. Ell
hot was miracle.

Otterbein University.

We are under obligations to Rev NJ Bulger,
of this place, for the following facts in regard
to Otterbein University, which will doubtless
be so much interest to many here whose reli-
gious belief assimilates with that of the Uni
versity, viz, United Brethren: 1t is well
known that the brick portion Of the Universi-
ty buildings was totally destroyed by fire, last
January. The frame buildings adjoining
were not injured, however, and the school con-
tinued to 60 on. Considerable competition
was raised among various towns and cities
throughout the State to secure the location of
the University. Westerville-l2 miles north
of Columbus, and the present seat of Otterbein
University, having offered to give $4,000 to
leave it where it was, the Board of Trustees
met last week, and decided that Westerville
should keep it. The Prudential Committee,
of which Mr. Bulger is Chairman, meet next
week to decide upon the plan Of the building,
letting of contracts, tSc., and it is confidently
expected that it will be finished this year.
The commencement exercises of the UniveT-
sity took place last week, at which time Il
students graduated-l0 gentlemen and la
dies. change was made in the Faculty, for
the coming year, but we did not ascertain
their names. Considering the loss Of the Ii
brary, society rooms, &C., the school is IN
aourishing condition. FostOFia RsUisn,

Greenback Robbery.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-Yesteiday
the Government was cleverly robbed
Of twenty thousand dollars. The
following are the facts, as obtained
from General Spinner, United States
Treasurer: AT nearly 3 o'clock it
was reported to him by Mr.. Root,
Chief of the Issue Division Of the
Treasurer Office, that two bundles
of ten dollar new issue) greenbacks
had been stolen from his room. Each
bundle contained one thousand notes
amounting to ten thousand dollars.
There are employed in this depart
ment nearly one hundred clerks and
counters. Yesterday morning these
bundles of money, with number Of
others, were delivered by Mr..
McCarter. of the Printing Division,
to Mr.. Root, who receipted for the
United States Treasurer. These
bundles are usually all assorted and
counted, and then placed in the
Treasurer's vaults, ready for issue.
About , O'Clock, two ladies, nc
companied by gentleman, visited
the room, as permitted visitors. As
one of the LADIES' was well known,
and the others being her friends, he
showed them through the room.
Two young men followed this party
into the room, and as matter OF
course Mr.. Root thought they were
of the same party. One Of them
looked around little, and walked
past the tables where the bundles oi
uncounted money were lying, while
the other showed his face into that
of the colOred woman who was
watching this money, and asked hel
for Miss Clarke. Tine colored wo.
man protested that there was no Miss
Clarke there, and Indignantly asked
the young man not to place his face
so close to hers as the ladies and
gentlemen in the room would notice
it. 1t was evidently at this time
that the two bundles of money were
taken by the acComplice, who, hold
ing his hat under his arm, placed the
bundles under his coat-a black sacl
as described-and thus made gooC
his escape, because there was mo sus
picion that the money was stoleI
for nearly an hour after they left
The ladies and gentlemen in tht
room were all closely examined, anC
nothing found upon any of them Il
implicate them in any way. Rhel
all remained in the room until afte
II o'clock last night and until afte
the closest search Of counting wa
gone through with.

The JEWS in this country were
last week made the subjects of an
unprincipled joker which transform
ed an ordinary riot, in Roumania in
to a huge massacre. The first news
came by the way Of Bucharest in
Turkey, and represented that an in
discriminate massacre of Jews had
been commanded, and that from
5000 to 10000 had been slaughtered.
Of course the news created coDster-
nation and Indignation; meetings
were held and protestations made,
but just then the truth came out,
and it was found that the fertile
brain offs student furnished the facts
and worked up the fancies. We con-
fess that the reports were too much
like a repetition of the scheme of
Haman to waken conviction of their
reliability.

Official Meanness.

The penurious managers of the C $ Il c
Railroad have finally touched the bottom Of
meanness. Last year there were number OF
excursions from different points along the
road, to the Island, and as the trains were
chartered, there was possibility of money be-
ing made by those managing the excursions.
Messrs Rush Sloane d Co, have pus step to
that this year by running their own trains
and charging 81 80 a person, from this city, for
the round trip. Out of this sum, to have the
emblance of generosity, ~ the small sum of
twenty-five cents for each ticket sold is re-
tnrned to the managers of the excursions. And
further, the gentlemnnly O general officers of
the road furnish free printing for the excur-
sion, and have the bills printed at Sandusky
Office. This is an outrage upon the press along
the line, and is only to develop the personal
hatred of.Sloane, for those editors who have
had the manliness to publish a few truths con-
cerning the road. If there is possibly any
lower order of meanness for these officers to
reach, we should be pleased to notice it.-TV.

The scheme of the dogma of Papal
Infallibility, which is now under dis
cussion in the Ecumenical Council,
has been distributed in printed form.
1t contains five canons as follows:
l. If any one should say that the episcopal
chair of the Roman Church is not the true and
real infallible chair of the Blessed Peter, or
that it has not been divinely chosen by God as
the most solid, indefectible, and incorruptible
rock of the whole Christian Church, let him
be anathema.
Q. If any one should say that there exists in
the world another infallible csair OF the truth
Of the gospel Of Christ our Lord distinct and
separate from the chair Of Blessed st. Peter,
let him be Hnathema.
3. If any one should deny that the divine
ndgis,eriitR Of the chair Of Blessed Peter is
necessary to the true way o. salvation for
an ment whether unfaithful or faithful,
whether laymen or bishops, let him be anathe-
ma.
l. II any one should say that each Roman
EOnIi, ieglnmately elected, is not lJy divine
rlShtl lhe successor Of Blessed Peter, even in
tne g1t OF the lntalhbility of HlagiSteyiuB, and
should deny to any one Of them the preroga
tive Of lntalhbility for teaching the cburcb fbe
word OF God pure from all corr1ntion and
error let him be anathema. anu
5. II any one should say that general cor,,-
cils are established by God III the churcl ~ :,
power of feeding the divine flock in the yTord
Of faith superior to the Roman Pontiff, or
equal to him, or necessary by divine institution
in order that the HlagiSteriltBl of the Roman
Bishops should be preserved infalible, let him

lived upon her property. She had
in her possession some notes, which
he demanded and she refused to sur
render. She was taken before Judge
Phelps, and by our law sent to the
Bridgeport jail, where she remained
six months, yowing she would rot
there before giving up the notes.
An application for her release on
kd6eas corpus was denied by Judge
Butler. While she was in Jail her
husband lived in her house; his
daughters were married, and the
money spent for the expenses was
hers; her money was used to procure
counsel against her in court and
a ound the Legislature to prevent the
passage of the bill granting her a
divorce. Such proceedings are
burning shame to the laws of Con
necticut and any civilized nation.

Accidental Berlin

Some two weeks since a Mr.. Price,
of Huron, was thrown from his bug
gy and killed, at Milan. On Sun
day afternoon last, Mrs. Price, the
widow, driving the same horse,
started from her sisters at Berlin,
for Huron. As she was driving
through the gateway, the gate swung
against the buggy, frightened the
horse, large powerful animal which
half a dozen women could not man.
age. The horse suddenly turned
throwing Mrs. Price out with vio-
lence. Her worst apparent injury
was the fracture Of the lower jaw.
She also complained of pain in the
chest, but how serious the internal
injuries may be, we did not learn.
The horse, after stringing the car
riage to pieces brought up near the
Davis House, and was caught. He
is an ugly animal, and certainly not
fit for lady to drive.-,Saadusky

A letter from San Fancisco says
that Mr.. Richardson, Mr.. Greeley,
Mrs. Calhoun, Mrs. Mcfarland, and
all the other celebrities of the recent
trial, have been worked up into a
four-act drama, with the realististic
effects of an actual pistol shot,. po-
licemen in uniform, and q jury of
twelve supes-the whole interspersed
with comic songs and a street fight.
The Pacific Theatre has had the play
written to order, and would have
produced it several weeks ago, but
were uncertain whether to hang or
acquit the hero. The close of the
trial furnished material for the last
scene, and Mcfarland is made to
clasp a six-foot son to his arms, and
exclaim: "My boy, my boy" and
leave the stage amidst weeping law
yers, sobbing women, green fire, and
thunders Of applause.
