Bravino the Niagara Falls.—Last week (says the Montreal Herald),a feat of heroic daring was performed above the Falls of Niagara. Near the valley of Chippewa, and about two milts above the cataract, a boat with a little buy in it was seen drifting at a fearful rate down the current, just above where the swift waters plunge into terrible rapids through which no boat ever lived. Three young men leaped into a boat which lay at hand, and pulling out gallantly into the turbulent stream, they caught the little skiff just a? it was sweeping toeertaiu destruction and tescucd from it the small mariner, half dead with terror. The skill' disappeared in a moment, and the three heroes with consummate judgment and coolness, pulled diagonally with the current for the shore, which they reached after a desperate struggle.
