AMERICAN ITEMS.

It appears from the Paterson (N. J.) Register, that
Mr. Bulkley, a clergyman of that place or its vicinity,
has been preaching a sermon in favour of the rope
walking of De Lave and Blondin, and that some of his
hearers, lay and clerical, object to that style of discourse.
It is satisfactory to the Second Advent people to
know that J. V. Rimes, the leader of the gmericau
flock, has made an agreement with Dr. Cuynming,
whereby the end of all things, including the world, is to
take place in 1867. So long as these two lights were
•

at variance concerning the time of the catastrophe,
of course nothing could be done.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.—Lynchburg, Tune 23.—Joseph
and Robert Button, editors of the Virginian were shot
in the street to-day by the brothers Hardwieke, editors

, - -
and proprietors of the Republican. One of the Buttons

is said to be mortally and the other seriously injured
Both the Hardwickes have been placed in gaol.

THE CONFEShiuN OF THE REV.

Trenton, June 23.—We have reliable information here

that Harden has made a confession of having poisoned
his wife, showing in the whole transaction a degree of
guilt seldom equalled. Governor Olden has respited the
execution of Jacob S. Harden for one week and a day,
bringing it to Friday, the 6th day of July.

CURIOUS RELIGIOUS SECT.--The Gratiot (Michigan)
News, of the 11th instant, has the following :—There is
an organisation or denomination in our country who
style themselves the " Church of God," but who pass by
the appellation of Wynobanraians. They hold regular
services about six miles south of this village, at a school
house. One of their peculiar ordinances consists in the

washing of each other's feet. T'ne Elder offers a prayer,
then removes his coat, girds on a towel and proceeds to
wash the feet of the member nearest him, wiping.his
feet with the towel, and then takes him by the right
hand and salutes him with a kiss. The washed then
waßhog the feet of the nest brother, and the washing
proceeds until all are washed. The sisters in the mean-
time are busily engaged in washing each other's feet.
After a hymn the services are closed.

ORIGIN OF NORTH AMERICAN INDIA-NM—Some
curious and interestiug facts .were elicited concerning
the origin and similarity existing between the Japanese
and North American Indians, when the former were at
San Francisco. In their physical conformation and
looks they are generally considered very much alike
whilst it is well known that several Japanese words.
nearly coincide with words having the same meaning,
spelt the same, pronounced the same, in some of our
Indian tribes. For instance, the Japanese word for
haste, is hyacks ; the Oregon Indian word for spied is-
layack. This is only one of some half dozen words that
were compared and found to be almost exactly the same.
as above. One of the Japanese officials, who seemed to be
pretty well posted in the matter, suggested that it might
be attributed to the landing of their junks on our shores.
The Japanese junks have cruised about a good deal more•
and a good deal farther off from their own shores than:
is generally supposed or even believed possible. More•
than forty-six years ago a Japanese junk was cast away:
on Kani, one of the Sandwich Islands ; some fourteen:
years ago another was picked up on the coast of Upper
Oregon ; another was found below Petropaulovski, ins
Kamichatka, two hundred years ago, an account of
which may be found in Findley's Pacific Sailing
Directions. Captain Brooks, when on the cruise of
the Gambia, several years ago, found the remains of
a Japanese junk on Ocean Island, one of the group
northwest of the Sandwich Islands. The same navigator
afterwards picked up another junk of Japanese construc-
tion, abandoned, in lat. 42 deg. N., ion. 170 deg. W.,
more than 900 miles from land. Some four years ago.
another was found near Guam, on the Ladrone
Another was found by Captain Cox, of New London,.
who. when bound north on a whaling cruise, in INS,.
fell in with a disabled junk, and took from her some•
fifteen or twenty of her crew and carried them into the-
Ochotsk Sea, and landed them finally at Lahaina, after
taking them to three different Japanese ports, and
having them nearly eight months on board. It is from
this fact, and the supposition is , a very plausible one,
that a Japanese junk may have been blown upon, the
Oregon coast some hundreds of years ago, from whence
originated our North American Indians. Before the.
expulsion of the Jesuits, previous to 1630, the Japaluese
built sea-going vessels, but after that time, in self-
defence, to prevent their people from leaving their
country, a measure of borne policy was adopted, by
which junks were, by an imperial edict of the Tycoon,.
built with open sterns, in order to compel them to stick
to the coast The fact claimed by some that the-

Japanese are in all respects a superior race—better
looking, further advanced in civilisation than our
Indians—does not disprove our theory, because their
rude manner of living and peculiar habits may havain
the course of many years produced the difference, which
many consider but very little.—Yew York Herald. I 7

RUMOURED ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE Ro stAr.
•
ALBERT.—Mr. Watson, the commander of the loyal
Albert, has addressed the following explanation on the.
above subject to a contemporary :—" Twoextruardinary
stories have been going the rounds of Ur) press with
regard to the Royal Albert, during her late visit with,
the Channel Fleet to Queen's-ferry. 1. That a lady, in
passing a gun that was loaded on the main deck, unfor-
tunately allowed her crinoline to come in contact with
the trigger line, which caused the gun to go off and
blow an A.B.'s arm off.. The lady immediately fainted,.
and a great shock was sustained by the visitors. 2. That
a fine child,, nineteen mouths old, was left by its
unnatural parent in the engine-room ; that for two 63-9
everything was done to ascertain who the unnatural partg
was, and then having ascertained nothing beyond: its
being a fine boy, be was duly christened and placed on
our books as Albert Frecmantle, &c. I beg to state
that both stories are fictions, and that soma one Mast
have been very hard up for a shave' to have invented
such romances. A poor fellow did lose his arm by Alas-
accidental. discharge of a gun during our stay at Queoes--
orty, but not i n the ridiculous way described."
Tir,E Mohnnu. AT FROME.—The remains of thvanfor— -
tunate victim were interred on Friday in the family-
vault at East Coniston, by the side of Mr. lZent's former
,a
wife, in which village (namely, at Baynton House) the
family formerly resided. The only mourners were the
father and youngest son by the former wife. Nothing
could apparently equal the .intense grief manifested by
both, Mr. Kent being assisted by a friend from the
churchyard to the, coach. The funeral service was, -
performed&n, a most impressive manner by the Rev. E.
Littlpwood, of Edington. The excitement in the village
has increased rather than abated, and the broadest 'auf4
most contradictory opinions are freely asserted, ',ye
are informed, on the authority, of the Rev. Mr. P eacock,
.-
that the rumour which states that a goi°lerable sum
of moneyf was
a left by an. elder brother} o f.,,,te deceased, is
without oundtion; all the' property e ueathed, which
was only £l5O, was lett by willb; the qdeceased's three

NEW INVENTION.—Ths NSW FOLTITTAIN Pax.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel-pen esas hardly be met with--the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain, pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co. is the besthave ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive con 'te
contrivance tbe ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barn I
can he taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean,watlio.ut any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick 'writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and '
in inerehantss offices, banks, and indeed in every pla•e, it wilt
~
' be faend to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by MN. E. T. Hale,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
