The Buffalo RenuhIic ralatns Aha coI1or;

The Buffalo Republic relates the following
arrangement for going up in d blaze Of glory:
The agent of Mons. ssBlondin has called on
us to say that arrangements have been made for
grand ascension over Niagara Falls, to come
of in about two weeks. The point for landing
on this side Is at the extreme projection of Goat
Island. He is to 60 over at night surrounded
by display Of fire works, and enveloped in a
blaze of colored fire. Mons. Blondin proposes
to make, during this summer several ascensions
in one of which it is his intention to 90 over
in sack, with nothing but his arms and legs
exposed. He also proposes to- wheel some gem
tleman over in wheelbarrow, provided he can
find distinguished individual with nerve
enough, who would like tho enjoyment Of a
trip across the irightful chasm on tight rope
in one-wheeled carriage and TO make it still
more interesting and frightfully terrific, he will
carry man on his back and wheel another one
at the same time, provided the two generous
persons can be found who would like to indulge
in that kind of sport. The agent is In town
purchasing the rope and other things necessary
for the grand occasion.

From the Boston Traveller
Boarding European steamers of Cane

The idea of anticipating the news by Euro
pean steamers, by interceptng them off Cape
ltaeeI Newfoundland, was started q number of
years since by the Now York press but has
never boon carried Gus with much effect. until
within a short time, though occasionally a
steamers news was received in this way.
Cape Race, by sea, is between ten and eleven
hundred miles distant from New York, one
third OF the voyage across the Atlantic Mr..
Farrell, Of New York, q boatlnan of great ex.
penence, formerly employed in the same busi-
ness as now, in connection with tho Sandy
Hook Telegraph, has taken charge of the
news yacht at Cape Race. He succeeded last
week in obtaining the news from four steam
ers, viz: the Arago, the Vigo, the Canada and
the City of Baltimore. The plan of opera
tons is briefly as follows:
The European steamer runs from England or
Ireland across tho Atlantic, to within mile or
two OF Cape Race Light, generally making the
trip in seven or eight days. The newsmen are
on the alert, cruising near the spot, and tho
steamer usually throws up y signal, or fires Il
gun, to attract attention. The news dispatch
iis prepared byan agent in England, and placed
IN q buoyant tin case, to which is affixed flag
so that it can be seen for somo distance in the
water. Tho boatmen hasten to the spot, OBJ
tain the news, and start for st. Johns, New
foundland, the nearest telegraph station, from
whence 1t is immediately transmitted to all
parts of the United States and Canada.
The news, tefore reaching Boston, traverses
a distance by telegraph of over a thousand
miles. First over the Newfoundland line,
which is constructed across country that may
be truly called a savage wilderness, with hills
of granite, deep swamps and almost impenetra-
BILE woods. Crossing, by submarine telegraph,
from Newfoundland to the American Con :
tinent, the dispatch passes over portion of
the Nova Scotia line, then over the Now Bruins
wick line to the borders Of Maine, at Calais,
where the American limo commences, by which
it is transmitted to its destination. Occasion
ally even now steamer is missed, as for in
I stance the Vanderbilt, which, from its rapid
passage across the Atlantic, must have reached
l Cape Race in six days from SOUTHAMPTON.

An important subject was broached last
night in the City Council, having in view the
matter of abolishing the office of City Surveyor,
who gives, under the authority of the city, the
lines of any PERSONS property applying for its
survey. petition was presented some time
since, from numerous surveyors and civil en-
gineers, asking for the abolition of the Office of
City Surveyor, which was referred to u special
committee, who last night, after consideration
of tho merits of the case, disagreed, and made
a majority and minority report. The majority
recommended the dispensing with the "monop-
oly," and introduced an ordinance to mako
such change, and to license all surveyors and
civil engineers Of the city to act under oath,
and report their field notes for copy in the
Office of City Civil Engineer.
The minOrity-Mr. Snodgrass--favored the
continuance of the Office, but the majority re-
port was approved. The ordinance, however,
was referred to the Law Committee with the
City Solicitor, to report thereon at next meet

Council, on last evening, to pay +. Y. Wide
mer Il Co., $4,000 for damages to their promi-
scs, caused by an overflow of water in Deor-
creek valley, in 1851. They originally sued
the City for $4,000, but have agreed to COM
promise for the sum mentioned in the ordinance.
The ordinance was laid on the table, and q
resolution prevailed authorizing the City So
licitor, in connection with the Law Committee,
to employ Counsel and defend the suit. The
employment of additional Counsel being nee

sent City Solicit or, was Attorney for Widcmer

EXPOSURE WITH Bold HAND.-"The Drug
gist, monthly newspaper of this city,
says In this connection we are compelled
to call the attention of the trade tn the gross
inaccuracies of publications pretending 70 be
Druggists Directories. We have before us
two issues of the United States Druggists Di-
rcctory, one published in New York, dated
lS5s-59, the other in Philadelphia, 1S59-6O
SO far as regards Ohio, which portion of the
Directory we have carefully examined, the
second volume is almost an entire reprint Of
the flrst, with few exceptions. where City
DIRECTORIES have been accessible, such as that
OF Cincinnati, for instance. To satisfy our
selves as to the reliability of these Directo-
RES, we took the lists OF several counties in
Ohio, from the last Philadelphia issue, and
compared them with our own, Just obtained
rom the most authentic sources, and which
we know to be correct at the present time.
~
Out of the fifty-ono firms given, there are
actually seen that can be classified as drug
gtsts. In the whole county there are but
eight druggists, for the names and correct ad-
dress Of whom SEQ our supplement. We have
tested the lists of several other counties in the
same way, and with like results. This Drug
glsts' Directory, gives the names of about If
teen hundred firms in Ohio, not over one-ifth
of whom are druggists now doing business in
the localities set down for them. The Now
York or Philadelphia dealer, who should be so
verdant as to send out circulars to Ohio, ac-
cordins to the United States Druggists Direc-
tory, would, therefore, waste about four. fifths
OF his ammunition, including his twelve dol
lars invested in Uncle Sans blue stamps; and
II Ohio is indicative of the accuracy of the list
Tor the Union at large, which is a fair pre-
sumption, out of the thirty thousand firms
there set down, possibly six thousand may be
correct. If $500, therefore, was invested in
postage on thirty thousand circulars, to say
nothing of paper and printing, $24O would be
actually thrown away, or benefit nobody but
the Post Office Department.
We have no motives for making this expo.
sure, but the good of the trade, and particu-
larly our subscribers, whom We shall furnish
free, with reliable lists as fast as we can col
lcct the information.

GENIUS USREwARDED.-A day or two since,
we were invited by friend to look through
the painting department belonging to the
Covington & Lexington Railroad Co. What
was our astonishment, on entering the princi-
pal room, to behold delineated, with Z" life
like accuracy" the features of number OF
the prominent past and present attaches OF
the Company. One in particular, that of our
old friend, Mr.. L. Brown, whom we have
known for number of years as an eccentric
individual, but who was not noted for his
personal beauty, commanded our admiration.
The expressive features, the hand extended
as thoagh ready to grasp ours, told us plainly
that genius was indeed unrewarded. The
extreme modesty of the artist only prevents
us from giving his name, but talent such as
his cannot long he kept concealed in that one
room.

cOTEMPoRARY announces that it was in
error in stating that the murderers of Kate
Bureau returned to the city at eight o'clock.
They did not arrive until one, "when they re.
ceived calls from their numerous friends, who
congratulated them on their good condition and
improved appearances" We learn from the
gentleman who accompanied them that Arrison
has applied for patent for the "machine"
which he brought into notice three or four
years since. It's effectiveness has been in
dorsed by the jury who investigated the case,
and the patent recommended, as they assure the
public it prevents murder under any circum-
stances.
