A REMARKABLE FEAT.-Some time since the point
Of the lightning rod the steeple of the First Con-
gregstional church in New London, got unscrewed,
and fell to the ground. 1t was such dangerous
piece of work to replace it, that the committee were
unwilling to employ any one to perform the task.
A Mr.. De Wolf, however, volunteered to make the
attempt, which the committee permitted after some
hesitation, having promised him u handsome sum IL
he succeeded. He did succeed accomplishing the
task without any apparent consciousness of having
done anything extraordinary. The New London
Chronicle says the point to which he assembled is
very near two hundred feet, and for the last fifty
feet he had TO climb up stone surface, with nothing
to hold on to but small iron rod, and when he
reached the ball he was still some dozen feet from
the end OF his journey This distance he had to shin
up single rod, labor which he found so fatiguing
that he became exhausted, and was obliged to re-
turn and seat himself on the ball and recover BREATH
This he soon did, and fearlessy resumed his travels
towards the clouds, where he accomplished his OBJ
ject, and came down, as we have already stated.

Russian soldiers But the cowardice Of the first
caused the failure of the attempt The party did its
best to avoid meeting the Indians and returned as
gutless of blood as It had LETT Count Baranon was
too brave and skful to leave the Russian influence
in America under the depressing weight of such a
check. He embarked his troops and colonis.s in
three AIMED vessels, and repaired to Stka. Toe
native population was ready to receive him. He
found il assembled on the shore and entrenched
within palisades which the troops vainly cssayed to
carry. After several fuitless assaults the Russians
retired to their vessels which then directed upon the
Indians amurder0us shower Of bullets and shellswith
entire success. The arrows and knives OF the sa-
wages were powerless opposed to these projec-
tiles. The natives suffered an enormous loss, while
their assaants remained sheltered from them by
the bulwaIks Of the vessels. The former held out,
nevertheless during the entire day; but when night
had fallen, they abandoned their rude Notifications.
Ii would have taken yet longer to quel their cou-
rage If the approach Of night had not inspired them
with that superstitous terror which Is less
shared by all the indigenous tribes which people the
shores of the Pacific Ocean.
On the following morning the Russians occupied
the Island OF Sitka, where they constructed New
ArchangeI. The interesting work of NJ. Dufot de

But after the colony at sitka had been founded,
there were other eXigences to satisfy; the colony
was to be fed. Wild deer abound throughout the
country, and fish, chiefly the herring and salmon Is
found IN swarns upon the coast but the soil Is un
fit for the growth of cereals. To the Russians, who
are an agricultural people, bread is the essential
basis Of nourishment. In order to provide for the
subsistence of the infant colony the company or
