HE PLUNGE OVER THE FALLS THAT
DIDN'T HAPPEN.-We went yesterday with
oil the world hereabouts, 10 see the barque
Detroit 60 over the Falls. AT the appoin-
ted hours-3 P M-.the vessel was towed
from the foot Of Grand Island into the
stream 10 the very verge Of the rapids, and
then cut adrift. She took the first plunge
gallantly head on, and for moment seem
ed completely engulphed, but almost in
stantly the hull shot upward from the "hell
Of WATERS" her main and forsmast went by
the board, and on she went. The mex, de-
scent was passed safely. AT the third her
mizen mast gave way, and few rods far
there she grounded by the head. Her stern
swung slowly nd grounded also. When
we left Goat Island she lying broadside to
the current, in its shallowest part, nearly
midway between the island and the Cana
da shore. She will probably lie there un-
til she breaks TO pieces, or until the river
is swollen by heavy southwest gale dri-
wing the water down the lake, and lifting
her off. The day was delightful, and large
numbers of spectators lined both shores.
We took malicious pleasure in enjoying
their disappointment. Such an affair at
Niagara Falls is something like sacril-
eye, and we hope it will not be repeated
Buf Ado.
