“ Nay,"(éaid be, “it Would be more civ-
il to comp iment me on my powers of ob-
servatiou.”

" I do compliment you,” I replied with
candor, “ I think you are an exceedingly
clever fellow.”

“W ll,” said be, “it is not for me to
speak a‘ cut that, 1. know a thing 0" two
doubtless that may be out of your respect-
able, beat, and I dare say I could put
you'up to the time of day in several mat~
ters. .

“Putme up to it,” I cried, with enthu-
siasm, and partng with my last ray of
superciliousuess, I am as ignorant as a.
peanck, I feel ; do, I entreat you, put
me up to it.” »'

Whereupon, I am bound to say that my
companion communicated to me such an
array of interesting facts regarding his
calling as would have shamed a parlia-
mentary blue-book, and beguiled the way
for hours with conversation, or rather
monologue, of the most exciting kind.—
Lord Byron states that one of the pleas-
autcst persons he ever met in his life was

. a pickpocket, and I hasten to endorse his
lordship’s opinion with my own. I felt
all that satisfaction in listening to my ne-
farious acquaintance which belongs to an
intercourse with an enemy during a tem-
porary truce ; the delight which a school
boy feels at playing at cricket with his
pedagogue ; or the pleasure which is ex-
perienced when a. bishop happens to join,
for once, in the chorus of one’s own comic
song. So affable. so almost friendly, an
air pervaded his remarks that the most
perfect sense of security was engendered
within me. I could scarcely imagine
that my agreeable companion could ever
have been in reality concerned in a fraud-
ulent transaction, and far less in any deed
of violence. "

We had just left Preston, and he was
concluding a highly interesting account
of how had money was circulated in the
provinces, when a sudden thought struck
me, to which, nevertheless, I scarcely
liked to give utterance. I felt exceeding-
ly desirous to know exactly how garro-

Norwalk, Tuesday. July 12, 1859.

GREAT YACHT RACE.

Our meadows having rested the Champion-
ship of Patent Mowers, our waters are now to
decide the supremacy of nautical skill and
fieetucss. A match is to come off on Thurs-
day next, the 14th, at 10 o’clock, A. AL, at
Gregory’s Point, between that rakish craft
known as the “J. A. VunZandt,” and the
"‘ Greenville,” s New Jersey boat, said to be
the fastest seller in the country. The Sheriff
stumps the world with his boat, and as the G.
is said to be the fastest craft known in and
about New York waters, the contest will no
doubt prove most intensely exciting. They
start from Capt. Burke’s Gregory’s Point
House at precisely ten—rain or shine, blow or
calm—pass round the buoy to the south of
Smith’s Island, returning outside Smith’s Is-
land to east side Goose Island, thence to the
point of starting, a distance of about fifteen
miles. Geo. W. Raymond, Esq ., of Bridge-
port, an old Norwalk boy, sails the “Van
Zandt,” and he will be found a hard man to
boat, whatever the sailing qualities of his
boat may be. We learn that Capt. Burke
has provided accommodations for such ladies
as may desire to witness the contest,ot his
Hotel. From the well known pluck of the
contestants, and the extensive preparations
made for the race, we presume an immense
concourse of people will be gathered to wit-
ness the trial.

 

 

W
”Hon. Orris S. Ferry, Dr. Asa Hill,
Samuel Lynes, M. D., and Thomas VauSant,
Esq., started last week for the Thousand Is-
lands ou a fishing excursion. It will be seen,
that all the professions are represented in the
party while Alderman VauSuut stands for
the farming, manufacturing and mercantile
interests. Moreover, they are equally divi-
ded theologically. The clergyman is a Meth-
odist, the lawyer a Congregationalist, the

 

ting was effected, yet how was I to‘put
such a question to so inoffensive a swan-
‘ drcl‘? At last I mustered resolution
enough. Did he happen to have heard
from-any acquaintance who, through mis-
for‘tnne or otherwise, had failed in the
intellectual branches of his profession,
how the gnrrotc was effected. I trem-
bled for his answer, and half-repented for
having said anything so rude as soon as
the question had left my lips. He, how-
ever, did but blush slightly and becom-
ingly, smiled with the confidence of a

master in some art who is ignorantly in- -

terr ogatcd as to its first principles, pulled
up his false collar with his real hands,
and thus delivered himself,

“ Why, singularly enough, the garrote
is my particular line.”

My satisfaction at this avowal was, as
may be imagined, complete. It was like

_ the question about Hugoumout booted
among the omnibus passengers, being re-
ferred to the strange gentleman in the
corner with the Roman nose, who turned
out to be the Duke of Wellington.

How cIOquent did my fraudulent friend
become about this his favorite topic 1—
What spirit he threw into his descrip-
tions! What hair-breadth escapes from
the police and other intrusive persons in-
terrupting him in the pursuit of his voca-
tion, he had at various times experienced.
Left alone with his man he had rarely in-
deed been unsuccessful. Once, however,
with a. gymnastic gentleman, a harlequin
in‘ plain clothes, returning home from the
theatre, who had thrown a somersanlt
clean over his head, and once with a stout '
party from a city dinner, who had no neck
positively none—t0 afford the operator a
chance, and who hit my poor friend’s arm
in such a manner that it was useless for
Weeks afterwards.

a“ And you did those feats of yourself
and without assistance?” I inquired, with
some incredulity.

“ Quite alone sir,” he replied, “but in
all cases the garrotees were several inches
shorter than myself, with a man of your
size, for instance,” and he laughed good
humoredly, “it would be almost an im-
possibility.”

I laughed heartily at this notion, too.
.Would he be so good as to show me,
just to give me an example how the
thing was done.

'“I'throw my arm from the back of
your neck, like this,” suiting the action
to the Word, but with the greatest delica-
cy of touch. “ You are sure I am ‘not in-
conveniencing you 1?”

“ Not at all,” said I, “go on."

“ I then close the forearm tightly.—

toop a little lower, please ; thank vou,
and compress the windpipr; with—u—J"

Where was I? Why was I lying on
the floor of the carria re instead of sitting
on the 'corner seat ? Thy was my neck-
cloth unfastened, and where were the
banknotes which. it had contained ?—-
These questions, in company with many
others, presented themselves to my mind
as the train glided into Carlislc station.—
Above all, Where was my agreeable trav-
elling companion? I knew by the uncr-
ring Bradshaw that the train stopped no-
where between Preston and ——
Yes, but it (lid, though, just for one Illin-
litc, at the junction of the Wiudemcre
line, to drop passengers, although not to
take them up.

. “ Guard ! guard l”

‘1 “ Yes sir, Carlisc, sir. A quarter of an
hour allowed for refreshments.”

“‘Don’t talk to me of refreshments,” I
cried, hoarsely. “ Did a man from this
carriage get out at Oxenholmc ?”

“ Yes sir ; very gentlemanly young
man with fishing-rod and landing-net.—
A lake tourist. Asked whether there
was a trout stream in that neighborhood.”

I have not quite settled yet, in my own
mind, whether the thing was planned
from the very first, and the lost but itself
-——which was not claimed—n. portion of
the diabolical plot, or whether the inten-
tions of my companion had been really
honorable until I was fool enough to put
'a temptation in his way, which he could
not resist. It Was like placing the bloom-
cr suit of armor in the chamber of J can
of Arc, and expecting that she would
keep to crinoline and the small bonnet,
in preference to that martial costume in
which she looked so becoming. Previous
to this outrage the man’s conduct had
certainly been quite irreproachable. He
reasoned, too, perhaps, that since he had
-so fully “ put me up to the time of day,”
'I should have no further occasion for my
gold repeater. At all events, my travel-
ing companion had taken that away with

kg The Fair held under the Tent on Un-
ion Park, under the auspices of the ladies of
the 2d M. E. Church, was a most substantial
success. We hear the “ collaterals” enumer-
ntcd as high up as from seven to ten hundred
dollars. Be this as it may. the Fair was a
most decided success, so far as attendance and
good feeling were lcoucerued. Among the
pleasing incidents of the closing up on Tues-
day night, was the surprise presentation by
Mr. Haiicnbeck, of an elaborately wrought
bed quilt lo the good lady of Dr. Hill, the
pastor. The Dr. responded in a very happy
speech, and in turn presented another, b'cauti‘
fully quilted,lo the lady of Mr. Hallenbcck,
who also responded in behalf of his good la-
dy. An impromptu presentation of a richly
carved work-stand was then proffered to the
wife of Rev. Mr. Crecvey, followed by a neat
and touching address. Mr. 0., apparently
much depressed, I‘eSponded in behalf of his
wife in a most feeling manner, These slight
variations from the programme, seemed to
have imparted a zest to the closing scenes,
and with them ended, probably, the most suc-
cessful Fair ever held in the town. We under-
stand this Society will soon break ground on
their beautiful lot, near the old Molt House,
for the erection of their Church.

Why sir, he really talks as though he had
lived in a town since his last return from
the Legislature. Talk of Westport be-
ing a one horse town. “’hy sir, we have
a pair of "upper tens” who can count
their millions. Can that Editor name

of wealth balance two Westporters. On

we did. We spoke of the success of the San-

her Ketchums, her Winslows, and the 1ike,nor
of that magnificent display of fire works,
which although said to have been purchased
for a political rejoicing, burnt well on the oc-

 

 

casion of a 4th of July celebration. Westport
is certainlya spirited, spunky town, and her
old mother, Norwalk, from which she sp rang,
has a right to feel proud of her. in all res-

Improvement in Iron Railing.
The introduction of iron into public
buildings, ware-houses, furniture and es-
pecially fences, is giving new value to the
article, and causing an endless number of
improvements to be introduced.

Our attention has been called to a new
style of iron railing (cast and wrought
combined) manufactured by Mr. A. My-
ers, 426 Broadway, under the Fuller Pat-
ent. He has at his establishment over
twenty different patterns, original in style
and exceedingly beautiful in their arrange-
ment.

The peculiarity of this fence is in the
simplicity of its construction, the ease
with which it can be repaired, if broken ;
each railing or piece is cast by itself, but
is so molded on either side that the rings
which slip over the flanges on the upper
and lower bar of iron, hold the joints
more firmly to each other than they have
been hitherto held by screws, bolts or
rivets. In this manner a great amount
of expense is saved, while greater strength
and security are given to the whole struc-
ture.

This new iron railing aside from its
beautiful patterns, is made of the very
best of' iron, and cast at the celebrated
Novelty Works in this city ; its cheap-
ncss, compared with other railings, is rap-
idly int‘oducing it into general use.

We take great pleasure in recomend-
ing it to our readers. We consider the
patent a valuable one. We know the
fence to be beautiful and cheap. For
churches, dwellings and cemetery enclo-
sures, we havc never seen its superior, if
its equal-IV. Y. Obserrer, Jane 16.

h, We take pleasure in calling the atten-
tion of our 'readcrs to the above article on
Improvement in Iron Railing, from the JVew
York Observer, and we endorse all they say,
for there is now being put up some 600 feet of
this Railing in our Ccmetery,an improvement
that adds much to the value, as well as beau-
ty to our new burial ground. We understand
that the agent, Mr.Myers, will be at the Cem-
etery on Wednesday, to remain a few days, to
receive orders from any who may contem-

more will take advantage of this opportunity
to secure a cheap. as well as beautiful Rail-
ing. Those having already contracted for
this beautiful fence are Messrs. Alfred and
James Mallory, A. E. Beard, Rev. S. B. S.and
Edward C. Bissell,Chas.C. Betts, Orris S. Fer-
ry, Eli B. and John F. Bennett, and E. W.
Stewart, upon whose lotsit may be seen. Its
superiority over other descriptions of fence,
especially for Cemeteries, consists in its beau-_
ty, cheapness, strength and durability.

Further information may be obtained on
application to E. W. S'rlwna'r, Esq.

indulging in the luxury enjoyed by the larger

who has been staying with his brothers in

whom all the trouble has been made. llis
brothers have gone also ,with the avowed pur-
pose ol' hunting him up, but lhcre are whis-
pers of a contrived plan. forfeiture of bail,

well known and long tried honesty should he
allowed to counterbalance such whispers for
the present.

The circumstances involved the loss ofa all.

who tuincd the loss was E. Blackman, Jr.,
of Brookfield, a gentleman whose character
and standing is far aoove the suspicion of any
dishonest act. Mr. B. is well-known to many
,of our citizens, and has traded with our peo-
ple and put up at the same hotel for years,

thesefiarticles were in some way purloined from

For “ the trial of causes and other proceed~
ings in the Superior Court,” the Ju dgcs
adopted the following

RULES on PRACTICE.

’ I. The rules of practice as revised and
adopted by the Supreme Court. of Errors
111 November, 1847, and published in the
18th Volume of the Connecticut Reports
commencing on page 561, so far as the
same were intended to be and are appli-
cable to the Superior Court, are hereby
adopted as the rules of practice for this
Court under its present organization, ex-
cept so for as the same may have been
modified or changed by statute.

II. In proceedings to foreclose mort-
gaged premises in favor of Savings Banks
and Building Associations upon contracts
made with their debtors upon which any
bonus has been agreed'to be paid, the
court will not, in its decree, order any
bonus to be paid after the date of the
payment of the sum so found due at the
time of the order including the interest
and bonus to that time, with the interest
thereon from that date.

III. This court will not hear disclosures
from granishees in suits brought by pro—
cess of foreign attachment which come to
the court by appeal, except where the
garnishee shall be cited to appear before
the court according to the provisions of
an act entitled, “ An Act with regard to
Foreign Attachments," approved, June
10, 1859. All disclosures by garnishees
brought originally to this court by pro.
cess of foreign attachment, in which the
pnrnishee is cited to appear and disclose
at the time the copy is left with him in
service, shall be heard, if practicable, at
the term of the court to which such suit
is brought; and in no event shall any costs
be taxed in favor of such garnishee for at-
tendance after said term.

IV. When any suit shall be referred
to an auditor or committee, by agreement
of parties, or by an order of court, on at-
tendance shall be taxed in favor of the
prevailing party after such reference until
the award of the auditor or the report of
the committee shall be returned into court
after which attendance may be taxed un-
til the matter is finally disposed of by the
court.

When any suit shall be so referred, no
trial of the same will be had by the court
unless, upon the agreement of the parties
or by an order of court, snid reference be
revoked, in which case no attendance will
be taxed in favor of the prevailing party
during the time such case was so referred
to said auditor or committee.

If a case so referred is not heard by
said auditors or committee before the next
session of' the court, said auditor or com-
mittee will be reappointed without a form-
al motion by either party, and the clerk
may make the necessary entries therefor,
without any special order from the court.
In such case, three days attendance at
such term of the court may be taxed in
favor of the prevailing party.

V. No attendance shall be taxed in
the Superior Court ill any cases in which
a question is reserved for the advice of the
Supreme Court of Errors during the
pending of such question.

The Great Balloon Voyage—Thrilling
Adventures.

For some months past Messrs. John
Wise, John La Mountain, and O, A, Ga-
ger, have been preparing for a voyage in
a balloon, from St. Louis, Mo., to the
Atlantic coast. The balloon used for this
pnrp’osc'is of mammoth proportions, hav-
ing a capacity of 120,000 entire feet of
gas. The ascension took place on the
1st of J uly. The balloon which was nam-
ed tho Atlantic, was preceded at 7:15
P. LL, by a smaller balloon called the
Comet, the property of Wm. Brooks, the
lessee of the St. Louis Museum, who as-
cended and pioneered the way for the
Atlantic. The Comet attained a hight
of twelve thousdnd feet and travelled 25
miles, alighting at Edwardsville, Ill.,
whence Mr. Brooks returned to St.
Louis. ‘

The Atlantic was built on ‘he most
approved principles of mronautic science,
and was supplied w' h machinery for its
management, and w telescopes, barom-
eters, thermometers. and all the parap-
hernnlia of scientific ballooning. The
mronauts were also well provided with re-
freshmeuts, and no pains was Spared to
make the experiment of a long journey a
successful one. The duties of the serou-
auts were pr0perly apportioned, Mr. Wise
being the Scientific Director, Mr. La
Mountain, :erouaut, Mr. Gager, Naviga-
tor, aud Mr. Hyde, the reporter for St.
Louis Republican, Historian. At 7:20
P. n. the Atlantic started on, its voyage
and sailed in an easterly direction, impell-
ed by tho currents of air that were flow-
ing in that direction. Through all that
night the balloon sailed gallautly on, and
at 6 o’clock in the morning passed the
city of Toledo, and, an hour after neared
the ground on the margin of the lake
near Saudusky, and hailed a propeller
that headed towards its track. From
this point the remnants glided rapidly
along lake Eric, at an elevation of only
about 500 feet above its surface, overta-
ing and passing on their way, seven steam-
boats from the deck of one of which the
remark was made, so as to be audible in
the balloon, that “ they were going like
thuudcr"—a remark approximately true,
as the speed of the balloon was nearly a,
mile per minute, driven as it was by a
brisk gale. Increasing their elevation,
the balloonists passed Niagara Falls,
crossing over Grand Island, leaving Buf-
falo to the; right and Lockport to the left
in their onward course. They now agreed
to make a landing near Rochester, N. Y.
to detach their boat and leave out Messrs
Gager and Hyde, and to allow Messrs.
La Mountain and Wise to pursue the
journey to a point on the Atlantic coast
near Boston or Portland. They there-
fore descended, but before getting within
one thousand feet of the earth they found
a most terrific gale sweeping along be-
low ; the woods roaring like a host of
Niagaras, the air below them filled with
dust, and destruction awaiting their de-
scent. Still, the huge Atlantic was ma-
king a terrific sweep earthward, and just
below the forest trees were ready to
wreck the balloon, but by dint of throw-
ing out ballast the balloon again begun
to rise In their rapid course they were
soon sweept above Lake Ontario and now
their only safety lay in reaching the op-
posite shore which was 100 miles away.
Imminent danger now stared them in the
face, and the chances of safely landing
either on earth or in the water in that
fierce gale were terribly few. Added to
the danger from these causes, the balloon

' was gradually sinking to the earth, and

to keep their elevation till they could get
out of the gale, appeared to be their only
hope. Everything that had weight was
now of the utmost value, and overboard
went a part of it, but to no purpose, for
crash went the boat into the water ! All
'howevcr, hold bravely to the balloon and
one after another they threw over carpet
bags, instruments provisions, and last of
all the Express Bag which was intended
to be dcspatched to New York from their
landing place.

With the loss of the last remaining bal-
last the balloon arose a full hundred feet
The steam-propeller Young America was
passed in their impetuous course, its crew
giving a hearty hurrah as they were left
behind. Laud was now but 15 miles dis-

- taut, and clambering into the basket-car

above, to share the fate of his comrades,
Mr. La. Mountain cut away as much as
possible of the shattered boat, and in a
moment more the Atlantic struck the
trees the anchor caught, but the inch and
a quarter iron broke like a pipe-stem,and
the huge aerial craft went for a mile
crashing through the trees at a fearful rate.‘
At the end of this distance the basket
caught in the limb of an immense clm tree
which checked the balloon a moment, but
in a moment more the Atlantic proudly
puffed up her huge proportions, and at
one full swoop away went limb, basket,
and passengers a hundred feet into the
air but the load was too much for the
balloon and down she came into a tall
tree, ending this exciting and dangerous
trip by leaving the adventurous aeronauts
dangling in the air in a most sorrowful

looking plight.

It was found that the balloonists were
landed or rather tread on the farm of Mr.
T. 0. Whitney, of Henderson, Jefferson
Co., New York.

' The entire distance travelled from St.
Louis, was 1150 miles, which was accom-
plished in 19 hours and 50 minutes, (1190
minutes) or only a little less than a mile
a minute i The highest point attained at
any time was something more than two
miles. The balloon was charged at start-
ing with 75,000 feet of gas. The voyage
was made as an experiment preparatory
to a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The
mronauts are well satisfied that aerial
navigation for great distances is entirely
practicable. The trip cost Mr. Gager
alone some $2000. The adventurers
made quicker time, and traveled further
by 600 miles, than any human being ever
before succeeded in doing.

. . . .The express bag sent by the U. S.
Express agent from St. Louis for New
York in the balloon “Atlantic,”qu pick-
ed up on Tuesday in the Lake. The bug
contains over forty letters, one enclosing
a draft on a New York bank for $1000.

FOREIGN NEWS.

Great Battle and Great Victory Report-
ed.

The steamship Adelaide from Galway
June 25th, has arrived. Her dates by
mail from Liverpool are of the 24th nit,
She brings 500 passengers.

The main body of the Austrians was
on the left bank of the Mincio. It was
believed that the Austrians had 280,000
troops on the Mincio. '

Prussia had demanded permission to
march 30,000 troops through Hanover
to the Rhine. '

It was believed that the basis proposed
by Prussia for peace would not be accept-
able to France, thereby involving Prus-
sia in the war.

Three regiments of Swiss troops had
been sent from Rome to Perugia to sup-
press the rising. Thcyhad a desperate
encounter with the people and shot them
down indiscriminately.

The Very Latest.
The Emperor telegraphs the following

to the Empress.

Friday eve—Great battle—great vic-
tory. The whole Austrian army formed
a line of battle five leagues in length, we
have . taken their position, captured
cannon, flags and prisoners. The battle
lasted from four in the morning till eight
in the evening.

A Vienna dcspatch supplies the confir-
mation of the above, but states that the
battle was progressing.

 

FOUR DAYS LATER.

FATHER Pom'r, C. E , July 8.

The steamship Hungarian, From Liv-
erpool on Wednesday, the 29th ult.,
passed this point at 11:30 a. m., to-day,
en route for Quebec,where she will be due
at a late hour this evening.

' The following is the order of the day
published by Emperor Napoleon after the
battle of Solferino :

“ CAVRIANA, J une 25.——Sor.nmns : The
enemy, who believed themselves able to
repulse us from the Chiesc, have recross-
ed the Mincio. You have worthily de-
fended the honor of France. Solferino
surpassed the recollection of Lonato and
Castiglione. In twelve hours you have
repulsed the efforts of one hundred and
fifty thousand men. Your enthusiasm
did not rest there ; the numerous artillery
of the enemy occupied formidable posi-
tions for over three leagues, which you
carried. Your country thanks you for
your courage and preseverance, and la-
ments the fallen. \Ve have taken three
flags,thirty cannon, 6,000 prisoners. The
Sardinian army fought with the same
valor against superior forces, and worthy
is that army to march beside you. Blood
has not been shed in vain for the glory of
France and the happiness of the people.”

N o circumstantial account of the battle
had reached Paris. It was inferred from
the telegraphs that the French army suf—
ered so severely that two days after the
battle it was still unable to resume the
offensive.

There wero vague rumors of 10 to 12,-
000 French troops having been killed and
wounded.

Pants, Tuesday. Gens. Auger, Forey
Dieu, and L’Admirault, were wounded
slightly at Solferino.

THE AUSTRIAN” ACCOUNT.

The following is the Austrian official
account of the battle : ‘

stom, J uue 23th.—The day before
yesterday our right wing occupied Pozzol-
enga, Solferino, and Cavriana, and the
left wing passed forward as far as Guido
izzolo and Cas-Ciofl'redo, but were driven
back by the enemy.

A collision took place between the two
entire armies at 10 a. m. yesterday. Our
left, under Gen. Wimpen, advanced as far
as Chiese. In the afternoon there was a
concentrated assault on the heroically-de-
fended town of Solferino. Our right
wing repulsed the Piedmontese, but, on
the other hand, the order of our center
could not be restored, and our losses are
extraordinarily heavy. The development
of powerful masses of the enemy against
Volta, caused our retreat, which began
late in the evening.

The London Tunes says that the Aus-
trians have most candidly admitted their
defeat, and that history scarcely records
a bulletin in which such a disaster is more
explicitly avowed

Large re-enlorcemeuts for the French
army were constantly quitting France for
Italy.

A dispatch from Vienna says that the
attack of the French on Venice and Tug-
liamento, about 45 miles north-east of
Venice, was expected to take place on
the 28th of June.

The Austrian reserves, numbering
175,000 men, were on their way to Italy.
They are considered the flowor of the
Austrian army. Not a man of them has
served less than eight years.

Mons. Blondin, Again.

On Thursday last, when Mr. Bloudin
crossed for the first time, the receipts «lid
not defray the expenses incurred in mak-
ing the necessary preparations, as it cost
about $600 to purchase the rope and
suspend it across the river. It is placed
about midway between the Suspenson
Bridge and the Falls ; is 1,100 feet long,
and in the center 160 feet from the wa-
ter, the bank being two hundred feet high
on the American side and, two hundred
and ten on the Canadian.

Soon after 31, o‘clock on Monday, July
4th,as per announcement, Mr. Bloudiu ap-
peared on the ground attired in his tum-
bling costume. First he went through
various evolutions on a light rope, which
exhibited more skill perhaps than that
displayed in walking across the river. At
4.27 o’clock Ml‘. Blondill went, out on the
rope a short distance backward and re-
turned in a minute or two. He then
started for the other side and walked
across in eight minutes and a half. On
his journey be halted several times and
performed a number of antics.

When he reached the middle of the
rope he laid down on his back, amid the
cheers of the crowds and the salutatious
of the Maid of the Mist, which was cruis-
ing on the river below, with large numbers
of people on board. Rising Without the
aid of his hands, he continued on till he
reached the Canada shore, where he was
greeted. with loud cheers by the excited
spectators. After remaining an hour on
that side he started to return. When" he
had proceeded a short distance be halted,
and put over his head a sack which came
down to his ankles. Two holes were made
for his arms, which were necessary in
using his balancing pole. His head and
body were completely covered. The de-
scent from the Canada side being rapid,
he cautiously felt his way to the center of
the rope in six and a quarter minutes.—
Hcre he laid down on his back in the
sack, and remained ill that reclining pos-
ture three quarters of a minute. The little
steumcr’s whistle was blown as loud as it
would blow, and the cheers of the multi-
tude rose higher than before. Not desi-
ring to go to sleep on so narrow a bed,
and with so close a covering, Mr. Blon-
diu rose and ran up to the Ameri-
can side in 2;; minutes. A good deal of
sensation and anxiety were manifested
while he was returning in the sack, and a.
sort of relief pervaded in the crowd when
he arrived, safe and sound. He was re-
ceived with great edat,and all the people
pressed round to congratulate him upon
his successful performance of so daring an
act.

He said he felt perfectly confident he
could do it, and didn’t regard it a. very
wonderful fete. I t was intimated that he
would whoel a burrow over next time,
and that afterwards the rope would be
streched across from Goat Island to Ta-
ble Rock, where he would walk directly
over the Horse Shoe Falls.

a tree and both ladies Were thrown out.
Mrs. Beardslee struck on the walk. on
her head and was senseles for some min-
utes. Her head was seriously cut, and

way of table luxuries. As fine a lot of early squashl s
as ever graced the table of an epicure, and a water
melon, as large as our oldest baby—constituted the
pleasant and substantial surprise which greeted our
return from Gotham last week. As we have said below ,

the Country and be lmows how to keep it His guests will
testify to his tables being supplied with every obtaina-

the-lth attempted to excite our bospltalities into a be-

seeing the way in which Allis does up the business, we
have concluded to retire from any further competition.

rind Mr. A. has been with us, could have made more
true and ardent friends, or could have done more for
the comforts of his guests. His house offers every nt-

And all who suffer to tortures which this discus in-
flicts in one farm or another of its many phases, cure
yourselve permuntly and speedily by using
The Oxygenated Bitters.
The “ Weekly Novelleltc” ofSept. 18, says :
Dyspepsia is one of the prevailing diseases of our
country, This is owing both to climate and the almost
universal habit of eating our meals too rapidly to admit
of proper digestion.‘ But in spite of these adverse cir-
cumstances, this disuse, even when if. has become
chronic disappears rapidly by the use of Oxygenated
Bitters, which have been found to pro. an infallible
remedy.
