' Since there has been a liteiature or. a history, the habit of early rising has been recommended for the health, f r pleasure and for business. THe'ancients are held up to us for examples.

People in Europe always get up several hos is earlier than we do; people in-'-ifcis, ' several hours before the .Europeans do,' and, we suppose, as men go toward the' sun, it ijets eas or and easier, until somewhere 1 f, Ä 0lien. roblv ihev sten out( they step outinvoluntarily, or, like a flower bloss out of bed omirig. they find their bed' clothes gently opening back, by the mere attraction of light. .

I never had any pecuniary interest whatever in the furnishing or putting up of lightning conductors, and my only object in devoting so much time to the subject, is to benefit my fellow creatures; the accomplishment of which, is the highest reward this earth can give. My investigations and researches have been continued for upwards of forty years and, the memorand. which. I have gathered on the subject are probably the most extensive in existence. Cushman's conductor possesses a very great advantage in being a single piece. A large Rod cannot be made in one piece of sufficient length, without joints, and no Rod should consist of more than one piece. By placing together three or more wires, a large Rod is obtained, all in one continuous conductor, and without joints. The Rod needs no polishing, or plating, or gold or other metallic points. The ends of the Rod may be ground or filed to a sharp point. Dwelling Houses, should have a conductor upon every chimney, and if there be a cupola on the house that should be furnished with a conductor also. The conductor should extend one foot or more

JULY 14, 1859 above the top of the chimney or cupola, and extend down to, and into the ground to the depth of permanent moisture. A barn fifty feet in length should have three conductors, one on each end, reaching from one one [sic] foot or more above the ridge pole, to and into the ground to the depth of permanent moisture, and one rod in the middle running over the roof. Meeting Houses with high steeples require a different conductor, from other building. It is frequently the case that the spire is strengthened by an iron spindle run through the spire, upon which a wind vane is affixed. A small rod on such a spire will be useless; the lightning will take the spindle and descend to the bell, if there is such a fixture, and if there is no conductor between the belfry and the ground, it may pass through the building. I would have two or more rods to carry to and into the ground. The end or ends of the building should be each furnished with rods. 'School Houses particularly require protection against lightning. There is no objection to a great number of rods, provided each, rod is in one piece, and extends to and into the earth. All outbuildings should be protected in the same way as barns. Shade trees near buildings should have rods for such appendages to dwellings afford no protection against lightning. Thunder storms occur at all seasons of the year—summer, spring, autumn and winter. Even snow, storms are occasionally accompanied by thundor and lightning. In illustration of the frequency of thunder-storms, and the danger of neglecting protection, I will mention that during the month of July of last year, we recorded thunder-storms at places within the field of our research on twenty seven of the thirty-one days of that month, during which thirty-nine persons were killed by 1ightning. The only days exempt from thunder-storms in July, 1854, were the first, third, twelfth and fourteenth. Rods are so cheap and easy of construction that no buildings should be without these great safeguards. Almost every newspaper we have received for weeks past have contained accounts of loss of life and the burning of property by lightning, and it does seem to me surprisingly wonderful that' people will continue to neglect protection with such testimony of the efficacy of lightning conductors before them.

There was a short' tihr' rripe erected herein upon which v the daring frenchman . mounted,, and, went through many of .his graceful and pleasing feats, to the great admiration of the spectators. At 15 minutes past '4 he s'epped upon the large rope, where he conversed a few momenta with his fiends, in the most cool and unconcerned manner, having, apparontly, no more doubt of his successfully accomplishing" this undertaking than he had of attempting it. As he stood for a minute. on the rope," before stepping out, ho addressed tle crowd as follows: "Gentlemen, any one that pleases . to cross, I carry him on my back." No one Seemed disposed f j accept the kind offer, and having joked a few minutes longer, he at last started on his perilous journey. Ho walked rapidly and firmly, as if he had been on a biidge, until he chose to stop to indulge in some gymnastic evolutions for ä few minutes. lie balanced himself on ono Ug, 6At down, nnd laid. down on the ropa I . full length, then, recorering himself, he walked tothe middle of tlie river,' wheje again : stopped to accomplish yet another fvar, not down ill i the bill. . Here, standing on the rope, with as much indifference as if it was a soli I pl.it form,.. he deliberately lowers 1 a small line- to tlie "little steamboat, the "Maid of tire Mist,' that had steamed o that poi:-:t; to'the line was attached a bottle of wine by the captain of the boat, nnd the bottle being drawn up by the .adventurer, he opened it. and, m iking a compiehensive bow to both crowds on the two sides of the- river, he drank the health of all present; then throwing the bottle into the river, he walked on, stopping no more until he reached the Canada shore. He was exactly 19 minutes crossing tho river, including stops. On his arrival on the Canada shore, he was cheered vociferously, lie waited about half an hour, when he pV-pared to return. .At G.42 Le stepped on the rope to commeiice his return passrigr: He rested ' but oni-e, lvin 1 -. . . downi on tlie rope tor two minutes,-' and

seized by the enthusiastic crowd, placed on their shoulders, and borne about in triumph. He was then placed in a carriage and escorted through all the principal streets of the village, the crowd thronging him on all sides, and cheering in the wildest manner. Ho did not appear very much exhausted, and manifested no more fear or nervousness than any ungymnaslio novice would at eating his breakfast.
