ING FEAT AT NIAGARA,
CEossiuK ON Stills Above tbs Falls.

Feeling sure that tho readers Of The Pans
AND TRIBUNE will Be interested IN the recital, I
write to give N Account, however impesfectly,
Of one Of the most reckless fests Of daring ever
attempted. One evening. about week ago,
while sitting in ths saloon Of the International
Hotel, became interested in au animated con.
versation which was in progress between two
persons, of whom ono seemed to be = Southern
or and the other an Italian. The latter had regis
tered his nsme as ':Signor Gaspa norelli,"
but have since learned .hht he IL really Yan-
kee boy; that he was born and raised near S.on-
ington, Connecticut, and dubbed BY his sfec-
tion.te parents, Andrew Greenlesf Is he grew
older he Wa AMictsd with Al intense desire to
become circus performer, and finally ran
AWAY from home to connect himself with some
strolling company. He was for while mem.
ber of Rarnum's immense "Sbow." and his
astonishing performances upon stilts will BE- re-
nembered by thousands. He had before this
time assumed the name he now bears, as we'll
to escspe recognition as to avoid tbs fate Of a
''prophet in lis own country" He is hand
some, hank looking man, Of about twenty-five,
has fair complexion, and wears email, black
moustache. Atpresent he ID staying here with
out an engagement The conversation referred
to was discussion upon the possible fests which
might be accomplished.by man upon s1ilts.
sigpor Mo1elh {as will cali him) asserted his
ability to do many things, belief in which re-
quired considerable faith. The Soptherner, who
il well known sporting gentleman Of New Or
leans, evidently thought the signor WEE lying
pretty hard. and at his last announcement he
Isnpbed long and loud. MorrelH had in fact
