At the (liven time tin; jtijrcler, a very singular looking man, came upon (lie stage with hi shirt sleeves rolled up to the shoulders, and livaring a long two edged KWoid. lie upset the table upon the boards and showed that there was no con cealed drawer or other recess, and placed it in tho bla.e of the footlights near the ed jo of the stage. In a few words he stated what he was going to do, and requested some of the audience to come forward and stand upon the. stage, that they might see there "was no deception," A l umber of medical gentleman who had been chosen ns a committee to investigate tho matter, if possible, took their position upon the stage and soon after the victim, who had been sitting in the panpiotte, mount, d the stage, removed his co.it and cravat, turned back his tiiirt collar, and lay inn down upon his back on the table, elevated his chin to more fairly expose his neck to the headsman's weapon. The juggler raised his keen and fearful looking sword, nud giving it a swi-eji, brought it down I say brought ii down upon the neck, lor no one could see that he did not, even those within three feet of him upon the neck of the subject with great force I lilood spirted high into the air, some of it falling on our party ami deluged the stage, while the most fearful sound, as something between a groan and a shriek of horror from the w hole assemblage shook the building, and numerous women and some males fell fainting in 1 heir seats, and were borne out by the ushers of the house. Tho juggler raised his sword again repeat ed the bloiv, the dissevered head fell upon the floor! Tnkin,': it by tho hair ho held it up to the an lience for full five minutes, until the blood had ceased to flow from the severed arteries, the lower jaw had fal len and the face had assumed tho Appear ance of a corpse; then throwing it hcavi-1 ly upon the stage he requested the com mittee to examine it, which they did, pas sing it from hand to hand. They then examined t lie body on the table from the headless neck of which the blood ! ad not yet ceased to drop upon the floor of the stnL'o : thev lifted the limbs and let them fall w ith tlie limp inertia of lifeless matter and, of course, pronounced the man dead to all intents mid purposes. After they had concluded their investi gation, the juggler inloinied the audience that lie wjis going to put tho man's head on again, and restore him to life. Taking up tlie head he laid it on the table, fitted jhe two parts of the neck to each other, and began to mutter and make singns over tho '"orpse.

The exihibitioii was over. The neck of tli' apparently decapitaled man bore a red mark and sear aionnd it, like tlie cic atrice of a newly healed wound.

I have never heard of the trick being performed ,v any other man, and very po-sihly it originated and died with him. However it is scarcely more unac countable than many often displayed t.-ats of the iu.lroit fraternity of Lantern ju" glors. The Little Hero. A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial relates the following: An incident, perhaps common in such places, but very uncommon iu our section of the country, occurred on buard the cars. I noticed when the cos set out from tlie station at Martiiisburg, where we stopped for supper, two little noys seated 011 a car scat two remove from the one I occupied, who wore a very forlorn appear anee. The younger, a little lad ol six years, seemed trying to cry, while the el der, evidently his brother, .1 bright lad of ten years, was giving him ciieouiage nu'iit iu a low voice, and glancing appre hensively at the front car door, Inrough which the conductor was pivsciitlv 10 make his entrance. In time he came, and lifter the usual question and some mumbled response by the elder boy, ad dressed him 111 rather a rough voice," "Ah, so you're on board again, are you? Well, yon must get off ut tin: stopping place.'' The next stopping place came, lint the lit tle boys never stirred from their seat. Presently the conductor came around again: "So you are on board, are you? Well, we Mill have you put oil' the next time the cars stop." At this the little boy began to cry audibly, and one of my Ken tucky ac(uainlanccs w ho sat just in front of them, iUeiioiied the elder its to what ailed them, from his replies ive gleaned the following account. They were two brothers, and had left Iliiltiniore, where they had previously re sided, about a week before. Their moth er had been dead some time, and their father lost his life by accident, while en gaged ut work on a building just two days belore they had set out on their trip. Tic y had been it-It destitute, and (baling 'iio resource but the usual place of refuge, had resolved to go west, where their big brother Lucas, who w as married, and their big sister Martha, who expected to be, were living. They refused to wait until, in answer to a letter, their brother could come or send for them : but without mon ey, they hail seated themselves in the cars, and been put oil' regularly and successive ly from each train ut ihe station, usually making one, and very randy the distance between two stations. They had experi enced little dilliculty in securing some thing to eat, and a place to sleep, from the the charity of the villagers along the way. Iu this manner they had coiiijiiered over a quarter of the h ngth of the Baltimore andtihioro.nl, with eiiiial success cculd hope to attain Chicago, the goal of their journey, late in the lull. Upon becoming satisfied that their story was really one of truth, my friend, the Kcntuckian, propos ed und took up a collection among the piHsengi'i's for their benefit, which result ed in the handsome sum of between thir ty and forty dollars. The conductor, to ivlioui they had simply stated they had ne'llier money nor ticket, when told the circumstances, relived to take any fare from them . an 1 so our little folks came all the way to Wheeling at one ride. The following day, alter dinner, as the Kcntuckian and myself were sitting in front of the Spring House, smoking cigar.-, the. little hero camo tugging before us a suilwart w 11 dross.-.! young man, whom he vociferously announced 11s hisbig broth er, who hud set out from Chicago to bring them to his home, and had there, by the luckiest chance, met them in the hotel. The big brother made an earnest oiler to return the money contributed, to our keeping, ...ying that the boys had no need of it ; that he was well to do, and had often vainly endeavored to tret his father to come to his home. lint w o refused to accept it. and bade him use it for the boys. That evening they set out for Chicago, and, long ere this, I presume the little heroes have been clasped in the anus of their big sister, EziTA few days sii:ce, the w ife of Mr. Williamson, of Milford township, 1'aitlor county, Ohio, found an old Spanish half dollar ina closet of the homestead, and prosecuting the search she discovered the sum of $1,71)0, Jn old Spanish silver coin. Mr. Williamson immediately restored the money to the heirs ol the former owner of the premises, live in number, who in turn presented Mr. W. and his lady with ?,'i"ill.

With the great increase in the whole- Slle practii f tiding on horn-back which Inn recently taken phi. -e iu this city and vicinity, we are persuaded th;,t we should do a great service to our fair readers Ly copying from a book recent lv published in England, the following directions for the costume of womeij : "Few Indies know how todies- f rl.-c-e exeicise, although there has been a gn-a' improvement, so far as ta-te i-, con.-.'! -.sed. of Into years, As to tin- hc.id-dre-s, it may be whatever is in t. hton. id I 1 tits the head so as not to require coin, no ,d adjustment, often needed when the hand would Le better employed with the n .11 and "hip.

We learn from the St. l'atil Times, that the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Rail road contemplate the erection of a bridge across the Mississippi, at Fort Snelling, which, when finished, will he one' of the longest and finest structures on the Amer ican continent, and probably in the world. It will be three thousand s,w,.n hundred and eighty six feet in length, with 11 span of one hundred and eighty f rom centre to centre of the piers, and ninety seven feet above high water mark, and will have an elevation of grade twelve fee! higher at one end than at the other. The piers 011 which this immense structure will rest are to be built of stone, from the quarries near at hand, aud will be wallsofs .'id 111:1 sonrv, so linn and enduring that no rise in th" river below will everdislurbthe im- Miiens,. struct tire which rests ab"V".

Important from Japan. We have received news from Japan, up to the loth duly last. We learn by it ttiat the (loverniiient continued to take measure- in view of the treaties made with the several foreign powers. A d'-crce of the Emperor authorizes the establishment of exchanges in the cities of Simoda, Nangasaki and ILikodadi. Fur thermore, it appoints a board of commer cial brokers to facilitate commercial inter course with tho several nations. It is known that among ihe presents given by the Tinted States to the Emperor area little railroad and an electric telegraph. Tiie latter has been put up by a Japanese engineer, and it works with perfection on u live league distance. The Emperor is so pleased with the re sult of this invention, that he Inus ordered that Yedo, his capital, be bound by means ; of a telegraph with the provinces of fioki nia, Tokaid'i, Fekon-ro-Kondon, Sunyodo ! and Saikaido. This order may, perhaps, not be fullilled for some time, but the ieda 1 which has inspired it is already an uii'jUes 'tumablo (nought of progress. Howcw-r, ,an American boti-e established in Suno'lu, ihas ju.st nude lue ,apaiiesc government a proposition for ihe sale of tin; material 1 needed for the reali.aliou ol the measure decreed by the head of the government. Hut the most important act of the pres ent Emperor is the abolition, or lather, I the refoi m of ihe .-die's, rendered iu 1011 by the Eiupcr.it- I ai Ftisama against t he Christ. lius. In future tie- foreign agents aecrcditeu to tic Japanese ports will be allowed lo bring' with th.-iii om- or several priests of their leligion for their own ser- ice and thai of their count! y men. This step is the more important, t ! at since the seventeenth century the Catholic priests were not allow, d to reside in the cmiitiy under the most severe penalties. Am in: ris.
