a thousand dollars, have at length been

ECHALLENGE TO NJ. BLoNDIS by Local
EDrroR-A RAcY PRoPosIrroS.-The local
editor Of the Mexican Citizen throws out the
following laughable challenge to NJ. Blon>
A telegraph wire which shall be extend
ed from the American to the Canada shore.
without a single guy, directly over the cat
aract mt Niagara Falls. The Local of
this paper, wearing pair of cowhide boots
and dressed in the costume of female
Dutch cook, will proceed to the middle of
the wire, with common clay pipe as bal
ancing pople, driving before him q hog and
cow, and carrying on his back a cooking
stove, coop of chickens, bed and bedding,
keg of lager beer, a barber's chair, and
various cooking utensils. He will then un-
load himself and Immediately go to bed.
After a snooze of fifteen minutes he will
rise, dress himself, take glass of beer, milk
the COW, kill the hog and dress il, cook fresh
pork for breakfast, after which he will eat
VOLTS meal. He will then throw one hun
dred and thirty summersaults, sucking an
egg while in the air at each evolution,
alighting the last time on the tip of the COW s
horn, and while in this position will take
the chicken coop, and after having taken
the chickens one at a time and wrung their
necks consecutively, will balance the coop
on the tip end of his nose, balance the cook
ing stove on his rightband thumb, balance
the bedstead on his left thumb, at the same
time finishing the beer and making a Dutch
speech to the admiring crowds on either
shore After which-after the manner of
Levi North's celebrated one horse act-the
"Local" will perform the one COW act. The
foreman of this paper will then come out on
the wire, blindfolded and shackled, walking
on his hands. Then there will be repre-
sentation of Heenan ani Morrissy's prize
| fight, in which the " Local and foreman
will exchange sundry knocks and kicks, and
| black eyes. The last scene will he both
parties standing on their heads, and will in
that predicament, play rub oftweuty-one
games of old sedge for the treat of all hands.
The whole TO conclude with a representa-
ton Of some of the loving scenes in Romeo
and Juliet.
