SrgGRIsr FALLs.-August Siegrist in
attempting his famous aerial velocipede
feat at Piper's Opera House, Sunday
evening last, accidentally lost his bal
ancc and fell of the wire cable to the
stage, q distance of ten feet, velocipede
and all. Siegrist fell heavily upon his
side, but being q light built young man
he escaped with r bruised shoulder:
He got up and announced that he would
still perform the feat, but the veloci-
pede was found to be considerably
twisted out Of shape, therefore unsafe.
His father stated that the reason OF his
fall, was that the rope was too slack,
so that he could not mount up over the
central prop. Ii such was really the
case he certainly had no right to allow
his boy to make the attempt. The
grooved wheels of that veloeipedc arc
turned perfectly smooth, therefore can
slip on the wire with the greatest
imaginable facility in going up the least
ascent. The grooves should be rough
ened somehow, so that they will not
slide. If they had been simply rosined
or chalked, we believe the boy would
have made the trip safely.
HAErz To-SIGHr.--The great chief
coniurer anil magician commences his
six nights engagement at Pipcr's Opera
House this evening. Two hours each

teusely interesting in their nature,
among which will be the grand Hindoo
marvel, making most beautiful flowers
grow in pots before the eyes Of the au'
dience, and blossom forth rs though
they were growing in the midst OF a
tropical garden. His feats are all fresh
and now, and performed entirely with
IL machinery, forming a highly re.
freshiug contrast to the stale tricks OF
other performers in that line who have
heretofore appeared in this section. Fol
list Of feats in the entertainment see
