BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES.

Ohlnamcn Refused Permission to Hand on Either Side of Niagara Hirer. At noon on thcCth deputy marshals took four Chinamen to the ferry at Buffalo, N, Y., for deportation, acting under instructions of Judge Coxe, of the F. d?ral court, who had ruled that they were to be returned to Canada, as the country whence they came. When the four Chinamen arrived at Fort Erie, on the opposite shore of the Niagara river, a dilemma presented itself. Two of the deported Celestials had certificates of entrance to Canada, and were accepted: the other two had none and were refused permission to land. They remained on board the boat and were ferried back to Buffalo. Here they were not allowed to land because of the exclusion act, and so they? remained on board the ferry boat plying b.ck and forth between tho two countries, taking in the river scenery, but very much in doubt whether they would ever set foot on dry land again. The captain of the boat was almost as distressed as the Chinese. lie feared he might have to engage them as deck-hands since he could not land them anywhere as passengers. Finally tho Canadian author! ties agreed to their landing tn Fort Erie, providing they paid thocniranccXee. This the Celestials willingly agreed to do. and each produced the requisite amount of JSJ.
