A Jap a near Execution.—A .InpnneRn

on srtme loteignors and wounded three
of Uiciii, including an Ainericun tuiilur,
was put to dculh ut Ilingo on the ‘J J of

This net of repnrslii.0 hat' been rrouired
by l!te nritien nnd Amoricnn Ministers,
nnd their representatives were present at
its oxeution, n* wore nluo a number of
Jup incso officials, nnd many cniious
foreign spectators. It wna performed
ut ten o'clock nt night in the couityurd
of n temple. Tlio victim marched in by
torchlight ut the appointed Itour, and
taking hi* seat on tho [ittventent, com
menced a kind of death nong, in a <1 roll
ing, monotonous recitative, intoned in a
low but most puthetic voice Meanwhile
hie own servunt stood silently behind him
with a keen double handed sword, 'j he
condemned man, after having finished
his chanting,'drew u knife and with two
strokes ripped open his belly. The
sword bearer then instantly swung his
weapon, uml the head of tlie victim fell
u|h>u the pavement. The spectator*
and officials soon ).fler withdrew, dnd
the corpse was taken up by tbe Japn
nese for tlie rites of burial.

Bine© the dnjs of Blonditt furor,
when men nnd women Hiood aghast nt
the foolhardy during of tho great mpu
wujker, in tho performance of his during
feats nt Ningurn Fulls, no such excite
ment has been known. A project linn
recently been started, however, which,
if cm tied into execution, will evlipso any
feat of daring ever yet attempted.
Charles Ockford, of this city, tlio six
ty hour sknter, has conceived the idea
of making die perilous passnge over tho
Fulls of Niugttra in un India rubbor
life-bout of peculiar construction. A
few weeks ligtj tlio idea suggested itself
to hia mind, and upon communicating it
to some oflHtorn gcntlclnvn it wun pro
posed by them that a purse of thirty
thousand dollars ho raised to induce
him to make tho undertaking, lie ac
cordingly perfected his scheme, nnd the
contract fnf making tho bo«t Jins been
let to the Onodycur Rubber Company
for 81,000. Tlie boat will bo nn oblong,
with a mean diameter of eight feet, six
inches thick nt the top nnd sides, and
three feet thick nt the bottom, A shnlt
of the same material will extend from
side.to side in the centre, on which will
be swung, on n pivot, n seat, to which
the adventurous occupant will ho fas
tened: Opening at tlio top will ho an
appcrluro sufficiently largo for him to
got inside, filler which it will be filled
with air and closed up. it is culenlu-
tod that sufficient uir con bo retained to
Hustain life about twenty miuutcs. A
small cable will be attached to tho bull,
by which it will be towed after tho des
cent sliull have *beon mode, for which
purpose parlies w ill be stationed in bouts
immediately below tho Fulls.
The model of (his novel cruft is now?
in this city, nnd there is nn doubt thut
the attempt to curry this startling pro
ject into execution will bo made during
tho present season. Mr. Ockford is
quite confident that he shall succeed,
but the Chituces fur success certainly

Sidney Duly, of Pontiac, will ulsn un

Gen. Jos. R. ffmleij, President Notional
Union /irpullican Convention :
Sir—In forfonlly accepting the nomi
nation of the Nationnl Union Republi
can Convention of the 21st of May inst.,
It seems proper that Borne statement of
views beyond the mere acceptance of
tho nomination should be expressed.
Tho proceedings of tho Convention
were marked with wisdom, moderation
and patriotism and I believe, express
tho feelings of tho great mass of those
who sustained the country through its
recent toils.
I endorse tho resolutions. If elected
to tho office of President of the United
Rentes, it will be my endeavor to admin
ister nil tho law* in good faith, with
economy, nnd with a viow of giving
pence, quiet nnd protection everywhere.
At times like the present it is impossible,
or at lenst eminently Improper, to lay
