terday Mons Biondin fulfilled his advertised pro-
misses in performing some rope walking feats
never before attempted by human being, Trains
on the various roads came in well loaded. Pro-
baby a thousand were on the bridge, aud more in
the enclosure on the Canada side than on any pre-
vious occasion.
At 4:30 p. NJ Blondn seized his balancing pole
and started on his tour to Canada. He walked
rapidly, stopping twice to stand on his head, re-
cline on his rope, etc. and crossed in six minutes.
To those who have seen him on these mere walk
ing excursions there is no fear, they regard him
more as they would a squirrel on the limb of a
tree or a cat walking the top rail of n fence. On
the route he lay down on his back and turned a
sunlmerset backwards.
About O'Clock Blondin started out with q
stereoseope, for the purpose of taking view Of
his grounds on the American side. After proceed
ing about 100 feet he adusted his instrument

MIR. Lewis Welden and lady have a fine little
child, now some six months old, for which they
procured colored girl of II Il years of age to
nurse. After the girl had charge of the child a
short time it became puny, sick and fretiul, with
very unusual symptoms, which caused the mother
to suspect that something was wrong In order to
satisfy herself, Mrs. Welden one morning gave out

Tie Cincinnati Commercial of the 9th gives the
following particulars OF a most extraordinary case
OF swindline and absconding in Porkopols
The business community was greatly shocked on
Saturday by the announcement that Charles Nc
DouSal. of the commission and produce house OF
West McDougal, in company with William Mon
tague, book-keeper for the concern, had abscond-
ed on Friday evening with cash to the amount Of
near 100000.
So far as the particulars can be gathered, they
were as follows: Two or three days previously
Mr.. West had left the city to attend to business for
the firm in Indiana 0nreturnfng to the store on
Friday about O'Clock, he found that both his part
ner and the bookkeeper were absent; but think
ing they were only out temporarily, he proceeded
to attend to various matters of business, expecting
| to see one or both of them at any moment Their
absence, however, being prolonged until evening,
he thought to inquire at Cutters stable, where
Med. kept his horse, if he had gone out to ride
and found that the horse and buggy had been
driven out early in the afternoon. Waiting then a
reasonable time, he proceeded to the residence of
McDougal and found that both McDougal and his
wife were absent. .5
Until 10 o'clock P. NJ he Thus waited in suspense,
and at last, becoming apprehensive that something
| was wrong, he sought the Mayor, who placed a
policeman at the house, as well as at the stable, to
watch for the return of the suspected parties. As
they have not since made their appearance, it was
of course concluded that they had taken advantage
/ of Vests absence and cleared out, with all the
| property of the concern they could make quickly
| available. On investigation, Mr.. West finds that
| forced sales of stuff consigned to the house, ad-
gances produce in store, sales of drafts their
correspondents, the discounting of some of their
bills receivable and pledges of Others had placed
the swindleTs in funds to the amount of $780,
600, with which, after converting it into the most
convenient shape, they have absquatulated, leaving
him completely stripped and utterly astounded
since both his partner and bookkeeper had his un-
| limited confidence. The telegraph has been dill
gently used in all directions to cut off the escape OF
the defauters, but as they had full sixteen hours
start before such means were used the chances
are that they had reached Canada before they could
| have been headed. McDougal had been married
but five or six months and has his wife with him.
| A reward of $1,000 has been offered by two re,
sponsbe parties for the arrest of McDongal. II
has been ascertained that he went to Detroit, and
| experienced detectives leave on this mornings
