The soldier was arrested. Reinforcements of troops to the number of twelve hundred have ar- rived in Belfast. Attcmpts to stop the rioting have been unsuccessful, and the violence of the mob is wounded. Increasing. The Thirty rioters have been police keep up a merci- less (ire upon the mob. The city, owing to thc wreck and ruin of houses, presents a deplorable aspect. Its appearance is similar to that of Paris after the commune. It is feared that nu- merous deaths resulting from the riots, have taken place which will never be heard from. The hospitals are taxed to the utmost to accommodate the great number of wounded persona in need of attendance. A painful feature of the riots is thc number of children wounded. A bov was shot while returning from Sun- day school. A little girl was shot on the street, and, it is thought fatally wounded. She was carried away apparently lifeless. ! An incident of the disorders is as fol- lows: Mrs. Mcllwaine on Saturday ha- rangued a small crowd of neighbors in 1 regard to the riots and roundly abused ! the police for firing upon the people. I She afterwards expressed the fear that she would lose her life on account of her speech. She, therefore, in order to avoid recognition, put on a black dress on Sunday instead of a white one which she j failed, wore on however, Saturday. This precaution ; to save her. During the progress of the riot, she ran to the j door to gather in some straying children. A bullet struck her in the head, and she j fell lifeless in the doorway. I THROUGH NIAGARA RAPIDS.

Potts and Geo. Hizelelt, two coopers employed in the same shop with Graham, who made the initial trip about three weeks ago. Bar- ret’s boat was ten feet long, conical in form and built of the best locust staves. It was supplied and with a keel, rudder, screw wheel turret, with glass covered peep holes. About three hundred pounds of of sand ballast kept it right side up most the time. The two men lay back to back while passing through the more turbulent waters, clinging to the handles made fast to the 6ides of the cask. Each was likewise kept on his own side of the cask by means of ples. a canvass The sling made fast to sta¬ start was made from the Maid of the Mist landing, on the Canada side at 4:2o p. m. A row boat towed the cask to a point just above the cantel- ever in the bridge, middle where it was turned adrift of tho stream. The novel craft was submerged about half the time while passing through the rapids, but while circumscribing the outer circle of the whirlpool its occupants thrust their heads through thc opening and Pott* calmly landing smoked a cigar. A successful was made at Queenstown on the Canadian side five miles further down the river. The entire voyage occupied fifiy-five minuets. The feat was witness¬ ed by 15,000 spectators.

TUB STORY OF THE MURDER.

CUTTING TO BE BEHEADED in case attack IS MADE from BEYOND TDK RIO GRANDE. llnw ,,e T ooU III* Sentence—Greet Ex- | A dispatch cltemeni Among the People. from El Paso, Texas, says: Excitement over the Cutting imbroglio is much intensified. A passenger on a train from Chiahuahua City, said that it is known positively that General Muccyra has ordered the Paso del Norte authori- tics, in case of an attack from Texas, TO CUT OFF THE PRISON Bit's HEAD a7;f i deliver it to the Americans. Eight hundred Mex i ca n troops are said to have left I.agos * for Paso del Norte on Sunday nigbt It is asserted that a second de- mand lias been made and the American offl( . ials have beell noti f led t o leave Mex- j C o, Large crowds gather at every street corn( , r Thc arr!val of cotnpany F of the Tenth United States cavalry, at Fort Bliss, which was assigned here two months ago, has caused a rumor to the effect that eight carloads of United States soldier are on lhe t The bad effects of tLege diffl . culties upon /; business are becoming very apparen and EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE WAR from a Mexican standpoint. A report was circulated to the effect that Consul that Brigham had confirmed the statement a second demand for Cutting’s re¬ lease had been made by the United States government and the people went wild with delight. Mr. Brigham, the Ameri¬ can consui, however, says that he WHS misunderstood, demand that he expects such a at any moment, but does not know that it has yet been made. Cutting has been called before court in Paso del Norte and Consul Brigham is in attend¬ ance. HOW CUTTING TOOK HIS SENTENCE. As sentence was pronounced Cutting turned slightly pale, but was otherwise ing thoroughly the composed. When the read¬ of sentence was finished, he asked in a loud voice of the court, at the same time pointing to Medina; “About the $000, is that creature to get any of itl” At this point Consul Brigham inter¬ posed to stop him. “If the prisoner uses insulting lan¬ guage,” said the judge. “I can add something to the tenn of his sentence.” neither Judge Brigham assured tho court that he nor Cutting meant any disre¬ to “Let us understand,” said Judge Brigham, “just what this is for?” “It is for the publication, on the other side, of an article which is held to have vitiated a reconciliation on this side.” “And this act on the other side,” con¬ tinued Judge Brigham, “was constructed on this side as a contempt of court?” To this the court replied in the nega¬ tive. The court then turned to the pris- onere and asked: “Do you still stand under the protec¬ j tion of your government?” , “I do,” replied Mr. Cutting. , “Do you wish to take an appeal to the supreme court?” the judge asked. “I have no appeal to make except to the government of the United States.” “If you should desire to take an ap¬ peal,” said Judge Zubia, “you have five days in which to give notice. Do you wish to sign the proceedings of this court?” “I sign nothing.” “Do you wish to express satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the sentence?” “No, sir; I have never recognized your nize court or jurisdiction, and I do not recog¬ its right to imprison me for one hour.” Cutting wag taken back to jail. EXCITEMENT AT EL PASO. No sooner was tho fact of Cutting’s sen¬ tence known than both towns on the Mex¬ ican and American side were alive over the matter. Two secret meetings were held at El Paso, and companies of min¬ ute men were organized. The merchants fear harm if soldiers are not promptly on hand. They realize that Congress only can declare war. but the superior num¬ ber of Mexican soldiers in Paso Dei Norte would play havoc with the single com¬ pany at Fort Bliss, one mile from El Paso. Arms and ammunition arc not scarce however, and citizens are secretly organ¬ izing, so as to act on the defensive. Their voice is unanimous for the vindica¬ tion of American honor and the protec¬ tion of our citizens. Thc Mexicans, too, are angry at the tone of our press, and people are fearful of violence on account of tho numerous mass meetings which are being held. YELLOW FEVER. Seven Deaths Out ol a Crew of Twelve—The Ship Island ((narnntine. revenue cutter a few days ago, on her way from Colon to Mobile, when about to enter Mobile bay, and ordered to the Ship Island quarantine station, arrived there Friday evening with nine men sick, including the captain, out of a crew of sixteen.

HIS TWO WITHS. A ( hii(liiiioo«ii .Tin ii Find* Itlmaelf In a Nad Predicament. James Stearns, who returned to Chat- lauooga, Tenth, last week with a pretty young wife, after an absence of thirty years in California, believing his first 1 wife dead, only to find the latter alive, is in an unfortunate predicament, He has two wives and don't know what to do with one of them. Both Stearns and his first wife believed each other dead, as he had gone west to seek a home for his family and was never heard from, and neither could he learn one word concern ing his wife, she receiving neither letters nor $1,000, which he sent her. Steurns was married in 1840, and the couple were devoted to each other. Now that he has found her alive, and that she has re¬ mained true to hqr troth, plighted forty- six years ago, his''old love has been re¬ kindled, and yet he loves his young wife whom he brought from California, and she fairly worships her aged husband. They are liviug in the same house at present, last but this state of affairs cannot long, as both the wives, who at first were so affectionate toward each other, are becoming very jealous. The husband is in a dilemma and cannot decide which wife shall have the exclusive claim to his affection. The two baby boys whom he left when he went west are now grown men and have families, while by his second wife he has a sweet four-year-old girl. THI COTTON CROP.

Alabama has made considerable improvement; Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Ten¬ nessee show some advance, while Arkan¬ sas has added neatly to her former good condition. Texas, however, has just about held her own, and fears are ex¬ pressed in this latter state of a threatened drouth. In localities worms are mention¬ ed, as will be noticed in the state reports, but no damage has been done thus far. The bulk of the crop east of the Missis¬ sippi is, however, backward, and there¬ fore dependant upon favorable conditions from now on for the maintainance of the present prospect. The average for the belt is 854 against 835 last month and 97 last year. THREE TIEN BURNED TO DEATH.
