FooLIsH PEDESTRIAN FEAT,-Hughes,
who walked 80 consecutive hours upon a
wager. at San Francisco, and was nearly
killed by the feat. undertook. on bet Of
$4,000, to walk one hundred hours. Com
mencing on Wednesday. he kept on the
move until Saturday night, when he began
to show the effects of fatigue, and stagger-
ed a good deal, particularly at the turnings
He carried stick in his hand, and afriend
kept by his side continually. and tried to
keep him in conversation. AS the night
advanced, Hughes became very drowsy;
but by the application.of stimulants and
slight whipping, he was keptin motion un-
til Sunday morning. when the crowd be-
came so great as to affect him considerably
by the yitiation of the air in tho room
where he walked. The time expired at
l9o'clock at night, but before that time
he presenteda piiiable sight. His mind
seemed to bo completely gone, and he
would occasionally speak to the crowd,
who were endeavoring to arouse him and
keep him to his task by every possible
means, and ask what they were doing
there, andsuch other questions. So far
was he gone then, that some Of them claim
ed that he had lost the bet. He still main
taired his position on the plank, however,
until twenty minutes to II o'clock when
bis friends gave up the task of keeping
him to his work as hopeless one, and
allowed him 10 come down. He was walk
ed of by them and properly cared for
Though failing to accomplish all that he
had undertaken, he has, nevertheless. per-
formed the unprecedented feat of walking,
without cessation or rest, for the space Of
ninety-eighthours and forty minutes.

The Collegian, a Romanist paper, pub
lished at Somerset reminds us of the fel-
low who refused to accept challenge to
fight duel. His reason for declining was
that the challenger had not properly
'.punctuated" the challenged The Cole
gidn refuses to enter into an argument with
the Gazette because we, or what is more
likely, our compositor, made a mistake, a
few weeks since, in the photography Of its
(the Collegian's) name! By referring to
its last issue the Collegian will find in the
two articles relative to ourselves the follow
ing blunders:
"The Lancaster Gazette, a Know-Noth-
ing organ, "madea" In another place it
says-"Why certainly" Mis-speling.
as the reader will observe, the two itali-
cised words in each quotation. A beauti.

where little is, little can be expected. and
we must make every allowance for this
modern Ephraim. as he is joined TO his
idols and must be ''lit italonep'
What the orthograpby Of tho Collegian' s
name has to do with the subject in ques-
tion, we have been at loss to divne--and
as the Coliegian seems to bo edited by the
boys instead of the Professors Of st. Joseph's
College, we are willing to bury it in obliv-
ion, and acknowledge that we have been
humbugged! The "Jack" alluded to by
the Collegian, is doubtless a specimen ofthe
"long cared kind" and fit associate for
the Faculty Of St. Joseph'S. This accounts
for thejackasicol propensities of the editor
ofthe Collegian. Oh! for the beauties of Jes-

All the theatres here seem to be doing q
good business, notwithstanding the hard
times" At the Broadway, English opera is
decidedly successful. Miss Louisa Pyne, the
prina donna, is delightful singer, but the
Great English Tenor" as he is called is by
no means equal to Wood, Wilson and others
who have preceded him in the same line.
Business continues to lie dull ard retrench-
ment Of expenses seems to be the order of the
day among our merchants. Still there are no
heavy>failares, and althoughwe shall probably
have a " tight" time this fall aud next winter,
there is q fair prospect Of u revival of trade
in the spring. The clearing house which was
established last spring by the different banks
has been the cause of the suspension of the
bank reported above If bank fails to settle
up its accounts daily, it is suspended from the
privileges Of the House, which causes gene
raj run upon it, which few banks can 90

q. We have. received our files of papers from
San Jose to the 23d September. They con-
tain no news whatever of any Importance, and
do not give Us later dates from other Central
American States.
The Gaceta Of the 18th September, in an
article OH the condition of Spanish America,
thus sums up the history of the Central and
Southern States:
1.-The Revolution in Mexico has ended in
the tyranny of Santa Ana, and the dsmem-
berment and sale of Its territory. The RevO-
flution in Venezuela has ended in the tyranny
of Monagas; the third part of Columbia has
become the patrimony of single family, and
the standard of rebellion is waved in every
province. The Revolution OF New Grenada
has ended in the tyranny ola Melo, in a COM
bat for the dictatorship between mpbocracy
and absolutism, while anarchy is waiting to
seize upon the spoils. The Revolution in Pc
ru has ended in quarrel between covetous-
ness and ambition for the Presidency, which
has been most lucrative business. The Rev
olution in Bolivia, has not only entailed civil
strife, but has drawn the country into foreign
war;" ..''1
