A few evenings since, theatrical company
were performing play, the last scene of which
was the hanging of a traitor, at Cornellsvle,
N. Y. The rope was adjusted, the drop fell,
but the strap-work which WAS to prevent the
rope pressing on the neck unfortunately gave
way, and the poor actor was actually hanging
After the curtain was lowered, some person
observed the blood gushing from the mouth
and nose of the suspended figure (Wm. II.
Davis and instantly cut him down, but many
hours elapsed before he was fully restored to
life and consciousness. 1t is to be hoped pub
lie decency will not again be outraged by an
exhibition of this nature. O..

In conclusion, sir, permit us to hope that
you will take this matter into serious con-
sideration, and not allow paltry expendi-
ture of hundred thousand dollars (for
paltry it is when weighed against the great
objects to be accomplished for this mag
ni6cent region of the public domain), to
stand in the way Of connecting us directly
with the great thoroughfares Of intelligence
and commerce.
The world does not afford safer and
finer navigation than is that of q direct
route from San Francisco with Puget
Sound, and we hope to see it turned, under
your auspices, to the uses intended by Q
benefcent creator.
