Rock CREEK, Aug. p, 80.
Having returned but few days since
from the Territorial Republican Conven-
ton held at Lawrence, allow me to give
you the details ofour doings, and short
account of cur trip.
We left Wabaunsee early on Monday
the first inst, striking across the Potta-
wotamie Indian Rescrvation,in the diree-
ton Of Minnesawgua. For the first
twenty miles our route lay over high
ridge, forming the divide between the
waters of the Kansas and Neosho. This
ridge terminates in a sort of table land
with level summit, and affords very
natural location for a road. From hume
rous points along the route we obtained
beautiful and extended views of the ad.
iacent country. To the South as far as
the eye can extend, it presents a success

little valleys, while here and there a cur

along the plain, shows the direction o.

Blondin's Latest Performance.

Blondin's latest performance was to
cross Niagara river after dark. The
Buffalo Commercial gives the following
account of the performance
Blondin made all due preparations,
dressed himself in a linen suit with bis
frock he has so often worn, armed him.
self with bis balancing pole, to which he
attached some brilliant lights of various
colors, and then sending forth rocket,
which pierced far up into the deep blue,
he commenced his evening walk
1t was little past s o'clock. He pro-
ceeded rapidly down the rope, and was
distinctly visible upon either side. I'm
fortunately, the light upon one end of the
pole became detached and fell into the
river. The sight was not so pretty as it
would have been had not this occurred.
When about midway, he took seat to
rest, or perhaps get better view OF the
scene. Not satisfied with beholding
things above and around him, he finally
inverted himself and looked down into
the water. 1t was so dark we think he
did not see much. Standing on his head
at night on rope over the chasm of Nj
agara, must be SPORT Arising, he passed.
on. Soon after the other light fell from
his pole, and Blondin was left in in i'm
penetrable darkness. Above, around,
beneath, all was dark. Nothing more
was seen or heard of him until shout
from the opposite shore announced he
had safely crossed the food. AT little
after he started on his urn,surrounded
with fireworks, consisting of Roman can
dies, which gave pleasing appearance.
He was literally enveloped in blaze
When about midway he laid down his
pole and stood up errect-inverted.-
Then he suspended himself below the
rope by his heels, and there he remained
drumming on bis chest until his camp
fires were all extinguished. There he
was left as before in utter darkness. A
live Yankee, who was standing by, said
he wondered if he would stay there for
alters
A shout on the bank announced his
safe arrival home. Thus ended NJ
Blondin's night-walking."

Scientific.

Professor j. d. Whitney exhibited be-
fore the Association for the advancement
of science fossil bones and teeth found in
the northwest, in the lee d region. In the
cap rock, as it is called by the miners,
there are assures and cavities, from so TO
100 feet beneath the surface. These
cavities are usually lined with lead ore;
in them are found the teeth of the mas
todon; also of the buffalo. The teeth
were in good state of preservation
They are found in many localities. He
believed that this part of the country new
er was subject to the drift, as no bould-
ers were to be found. Beneath the sur
face to the depth of so feet, vegetable
formations are found. The legitimate
conclusions were that this was the home
of the mastodon, and that they existed
Immediately prior TO the advent of man.
Mr.. f. Hitchcock, Jr, of Easthamp-
ton,exhibited fossil whale found in 1849,
on the line of the Rutland and Burling-
ton Railroad, in the town of Charlotte.
1t was embedded in clay, about eight feet
below the surface of the ground, was ex-
humed from one ofthe deep excavations,
and is in good state of preservation !;
but few bones being wanting. 1t was
found many hundred feet above the sea
which is conclusive that the ocean once
rolled over the Green Mountains.
Two very fine specimens ef the teeth
of a mastodon were exhumed from an
upland near Rogue river, Michigan, the
larger of which is five inches in length
and three and a half in breadth, and
weighs two pounds and one ounce. The
other tooth is smaller and broken. What
makes the discovery more interesting is
the fact that further explorations give ey-
cry reason to believe that nearly per-
feet specimen of one of the largest mas
todons will be exhumed from the spot
where these teeth were found.
The remains of fossil elephant have
been found in a mari pit on the farm of
Hon. Rolla Gleason of Richmond.

politics stands. Il viii be seen that the
republican ticket is elected by the hand

ing house in the village of Coventry,
owned by Mr. Jacob Hurd, and occupied
by him aud Mr.. John r. Thrasher, was
discovered to be on fire. The flames
had made such progress AS TO render ii
evident that, in the absence Of any fire
extinguishing apparatus more efficient
than a couple Of garden engines, the
house could not be saved; and the atten
tion Of the citizens was given TO protect
ing the adjacent buildings and rescuint
the contents Of the burning house. \
large part Of the clothing, furniture, &c
was saved, some Of it in damaged cor
dition, while the house, shed, and barn
with large stock of irewood and con
siderable hay, were wholly consumed
Mr.. Thrasher lost about 500 worth {
clothing, and Mr.. Hurd's loss was abou
$500. There was no insurance. Thi
house was one Of the earliest houses bui
in the village. 1t was built in 1928 b
Eber II. Hamilton, and was the fir
house in the town opened as publ
house.

MORAL RESULTS or THE REVIVAL HlRElAsD.

The Rev. Mr.. Hannay of Dundee,
who has been recently on a tour in Ire
land, gives the following view OF the
moral effects of the revival: " The COM
pany with which l travelled drove from
Coleraine to the Giants Causeway.-
We carried tracts with us, and all along
the road they were received with an ca
gerness and gratitude which surprised US
the ploughman leaving his team and
crossing the field, the carrier leaping
from his cart, and the housewife busting
from her cottage to pick up the tiny leaf
lets, charged as they knew them to be
with the messages of mercy.
Nor was this all. Once and again as we
drove past some wagon, the driver of
which seemed to be asleep, we found
that he was not asleep, but absorbed in
the reading of the New Testament
By stone-breaker on the way-side, we
saw young girl with an open Bible,
reading from the pages, or questioning as
to its meaning-that stone-breaker pro-
fessed rejoicing faith in Christ. In a
cottage door an aged dame sat with her
Bible in her lap, apparently reading,
while younger woman intently listened.
In that short seven mile drive, we saw
more evidence of a people awakened,
thoughtful, and anxious about their spir-
itual concerns, than in corresponding cir
cumstances, and in similar way, we
ever saw in all our travelling put together
in our own country. And the change in
the manner and morals of the people,
J taken as whole, q do not speak of pro-
fessed converts,) we were everywhere
assured is such that only the man who
has lived throughth the change and witness
ed it with his own eyes can without
! hesitation or questioning believe.

THREE PERSONS OVER NIAGARA
FALLS. The telegraph has stated that
a boat containing three persons, had been
carried over the Falls of Niagara. The
Lockport Advertiser of Friday says:
Yesterday afternoon about one clock
a man by the name Of Rosseau, and a
Mr.. Morse and wife, started in boat
from near the head of the Hydraulic Ca.
nal at Niagara Falls, to cross the river to
Chippewa, when the boat was struck by
a gale and eapsized. They were Oh,
served by persons on shore TO get on tc
the boat for safety. They were soon car
ried away by the current into the rapids
and were last seen above the Three Sis
ters.' The wind was blowing a gale a
the time. Rosseau was saved from
fate like this only about year ago" H

A Sad Case---Rum's Doings.

Many of our readers have often,
doubtless, noticed about our streets, a
man who walked with some difficulty
with the aid of two canes, and who has
for years eked out precarious subsist-
ence, derived in good part from public
charity, by peddling salve or sticking
plaster of some kind. The wife of this
man (his name was FL A. Keep was
confined some ten days since, and her
husband, who had obtained dollar from
some charitable individual, celebrated the
event, by drunk" He kept it up
for a day or two until he became so up
roarious that some of the neighbors in
terfered and tied him up in an unoccu-
pied room adjoining the sick room of
his wife. They lived in the large build
ing corner of Pearl and Champlain SIS,
known as the Spear building. His strug-
giles to get free were violent, and might
perhaps have brought on an Immediately
fatal result, had not his wife aroused the
occupants of an adjoining room by
knocking on the wall in the night, and
besought them to release him, which wa:
done. We understand that at that time
Keep expressed the opinion that the poi
sonous liquor with which he had besotteC
himself, had done for him." and he wa
right. He went off into a fit of deliriuu
tremens which lasted for several days
ending in an insensible state, which ter
minated Tuesday in death. He was, il
the opinion of the Doctors, and Of al
who knew the facts of the case, distinct
ly and directly killed By Rum. The j
quor was supplied to him, as we are in
formed, by Frank Clark, the keeper of
hole" in the same building (Spear'
, Building,) who has repeatedly come ur
der the notice of the Officers, and ha
maintained his illegal traffic in spite
several seizures. We understand thi
Keep and bis wife are both respectabl
connected. He has been a hard drinke
/, for years. The spectacle Of the feeb
wife and mother adding to the unassiste
charge of babe Of four days old, Il
; care of a husband dying of delirum tn
mems, is described TO us as heartren,
ing one. Is it any wonder that Il
