Daring Feat at Niagara.

One evening, q couple of weeks ago, two
persons were engaged in earnest conversation in
the International HOTEL at Niagara. One of
them was gentleman from the South the
other native of Stonington, Conn, named An
drew Greenleaf, well known for his surprising
feats on stills, but who has adopted the name
and country of Signor Gaspar Morelli. The
Slgnor was speaking of his various astonishing
teats on stills, to which the Southerner listened
incredulously, till at last Signor expressed his
conviction that he could cross Niagara Rirer on
staltS, bet,oeen Goat Island and the Falls The
Southerner offered thousand dollars to fifty on
the iseue, which to the astonishment of all.
was taken Punctually at the time named,
Morelli appeared with pair of stills about Il
feet long, nade Of wrought iron, fat, sharp
edged and pointed shaped in fact, almost pre-
cisely like doublo-edged dagger. These were
firmly lashed to his legs, and he walked to-
wards the terrible river with confident smile.
lie stepped into the water, which in another
moment was boiling, gurgling, and rushing be-
meath his feet. The boldest of tho lockers on
held his breath in suspense, as the daring man
receded from the shore, He alone seemed un-
moved, and passed on, slowly and carefully.
Ills steps at first were very short and carefully
made, but afterwards became bolder and longer
The stills of course We're 50 placed that the cur
rent struck only against their sharp edges, and
produced but little effect but the danger from
sunkcn rocks, and the conviction that a single
false step would send him to death, produced a
feeling that was horribly painful. Once or
twice he seemed to lose his balance, and sick
ening shudder ran through each one of the be-
holders. Recovering himself, he still kept on
still receding, until he could scarcely be dstin
guished from the foaming waters
AS he approached the deepest and most dan
gerous part of the route, the suspense became
most fearfully intense. No word was spoken,
except one man offered another IS for a mo-
mcnt's use of his lorgnette, which offer was
passed unheedcd Just as Morelli reached the
swftest and deepest portion of the current he
seemed to totter-sink-he threw up his arms,
but he was still standing, A few moments more
and he had reached the Canadian bank-he was
safe, and fell into the arms Of two men. who
We're waiting to receive him. lie went to bed,
where he received the congratulations of dozens
of visitors who came pouring in. lie left the
American shore 900 feet above the fall, and
came out 1000 feet above the Canadian, The
money has already been handed over to him
and all will agree that it was fairly won.

INSTRUCTION TO jury If the jury be-
icvc, from the evidence, that the plaintiff and
defendant were partners in the grocery, and
that the plaintiff bought out the defendant and
cave his note for the interest, and the defendant
paid for the note by delivering to the plaintiff
a COW. which he warranted : not breachy, and
the warranty was broken by reason of the
breachinesS of the COW, and he drove the COW
back and rendered her to the defendant, but the
defendant refused to receive her, and the plain
tiff took her home again, and put heavy yoke
or poke upon her to prevent her jumping tho
fence and by reason of the yoke or poke sho
broke her neck and died and if the jury TAR
ther believe that tho defendants s interest in tine
grocery was worth anything the plaintiff note
was worthless, and the COW good for nothing,
either for milk or beef then the jury will find
out themselves how they will decide the case;
/ for the Court if it understands itself and it
thinks it does, don't know how such case
should he decided"

PARAGuAY--The ruler of Paraguay seems TO
have just walked up to the fact that the United
States is in earnest in its demonstration. The
.Scmirario, which is said to be conducted by
President Lopez himself, in its issue of Nov. %,
announces that 9 the Republic is ready for war
If war is to come" and it continues its bold
words, and calls upon neishboring States to rally
for the mutual defense, as follows
" We are resolved to maintain our rights
with all the tcnacty their justice authorizes.
We shall stand firmly together, without being
appalled, by consequences, keeping ever in sight
our outraged national dignity. We donot hes
itatc to say that this war, when it once shall
have begun, will undoubtedly affect the securi-
ty of our ncighboring States, and that to pre-
serve their integrity anu tranquility, they must
not admit into their political schemes II senti-
ment of entire Indifference to the attack made
upon the Republic of Paraguay"

How TO PRESERVE YOUR FuRs.-Eurs, saws a
writer in one Of the New York papers, who
seems to be thoroughly familiar with The sub
iect, should never be put away for the summer
and forgotten, as they so frequently are ; and
next to being shut up from the air, their great
est enemy is damp. If from the woarer being
exposed to rain, they become wet, they should
always be dried at moderate distance from the
fire Immediately; and in warm weather. when
not required for wear, they should never be
Shut in box or drawer for more than few
days a time, and every few weeks they should
be shaken and bea ten.
| The more delicate skins require somewhat
more delicate treatment. The best plan is,
probably, not to pack iurS away, but to let
/ them lie in a drawer or wardrobe that is con-
stantly being opened so that they meet the eye
frequently, and being thus often in sight, it is
easy, at Convenient opportunities, to have them
taken out and Lcaton--or, at any rate, shaken
and tossed, and thoroughly exposed to the air
/ 1t is common to hear it remarked, that tn,
! moth gets into furs--;tS if the insect actual,
migrated from one locality to another; tn,
probability is, however, that furs and woolen
are animal substances, endowed with II vita
principle, which deyelopes itself into tho liyin;
organisms through the decay of its materia
shape. Cleanliness and airing are, therefore
absolutely essential

A Den OF CRUELTY.-An American gentleman
who has been for a number Of years resident
of Hayti, gives the Traveller some interesting
statements in regard to the dungeons of Fort
Labouc, which the Revolutionary Committee
has ordered to be destroyed. This Fort is sit
uated upon an island and its dungeons which
are mostly used for the incarceration of politi-
cal prisoners are below the flow of the tide at
high water.
They were closed up number of years ago.
but have within a year or two been re-opened
by the Emperor. When prisoners were received
at this fort they were conducted to the dun
geons, and were there chained by the head to
the floor, with their feet at-an angle of forty
degrees. and in this situation, exposed to visits
of legions of ferocious rats. scorpions, &C., they
were left TO death from the approaching waves
OF late, it is said that the guards at the fort,
with glmmering Of humanity, finished their
prisoners with Il blow from the butt end of
musket before placing them in the dungeon.
1t is also related that persons confined in
these dungeons succeeded in working off their
irons, and making their escape The decree for
the destruction of this Haytien Bastile alludes
to the many eminent citizens who have there
disappeared and whose bones the remorseless
waves have washed upon the opposite shore.
