UNPAItALLEIiED ADVENTURE HANS PFAALL. COSTIMUEU. Hiivliji: attalucil llio aUitutlo before nientloiiDtl llmt Is to say, three miles nml tlireo quarters I threw out from the ear a quantity of feathers, nnd found Unit I still ascended with sufllclent ra liidlty; there was, therefore, no necessi ty for dlchari;iiie; any ballast. I was Rlad.of this, for 1 wished to retain with me as much weight as I could carry, for the obvious reason that I could not ho positive either about tho gravitation or the atmospheric density of the moon. I us yet suffered no bodily inconveni ence, breathing with great frccdoni,and reeling no pain wlmtover in tho head. Tho cat wan lying very demurely upon my coat, which I had taken oil', and oyeiug the pigeons with an air of uoi vhatancc. Theso latter being tied by tno leg, to prevent tiicir escape, wcro busily employed in picking up some grains of rice scattered for them in tin bottom of the car. At twenty minutes past six o'clock, tho barometer showed an elevation of 20,400 feet, or live miles to a fraction. Tho prospect seemed unbounded. In deed, it is very easily calculated by means of spherical geometry, how great an extent of the earth's area I beheld. Tho convex surface of nny segment of a sphere Is, to tho entire surfaco of tho sphere i tself, as tho versed sine of tho jcgment to tho diameter of tho spiiuro. Now, in my eao, tho versed sine that is to say tho Ihiekntts of tho segment beneath me was about equal to my elevation, or tho elevation of tho point of sight abovo tho surface. "As livo miles, then, to eight thousand," would express tho proportion of tho earth's area seen by me. In otiier words, I bo- held as much lis a sixteen-hundredth part of tho whole surfaco of tho globe. Tho sea appeared unruffled as a mirror, although, by means of tho telescope, I could perceive it to bo in a stato of vio lent agitation. Tho ship was no longer visible, having drifted away, apparent ly, to tho eastward. I now began to oxperlence, at Intervals, Bovtro pain In tho head, specially about tho ears- still, however, breathing with tolera hie freedom. Tho eat aud pig'eonsseem id to h u UV r no inconveiilenco whatso over. At twenty minutes before seven, tho balloon entered it long series of demo cloud, which put mo to great trouble, by damaging my condensing apparatus and wetting inetoihe skin. This was, to bo sure, a slngularrcviccmiVfor I had not believed It possible that a cloud of thin nature could bo stained at so groat tin eluvalhm. I thought it best, how. uver, to throw out two five-pound plects of ballast, lestirviugstlll n weight of ono hundred and slxfy.flvo pounds. Upon bo doing, I. soon roso abovo tho dlfllcul ty, and perceived immediately, that I had obtained a great Increaso in my ratoofasceut. In n few seconds after my leaving tho cloud, it Hash of vivid lightning shot from ono end of It to tho other, and caused it to kindlo up, throughout its vast extent, llkoa itifsi of ignited charcoal. This, It must bo remembered, was In tho broad light of day. No fancy may picture tho sub limity which might Imvo been exhibit. edbyaslmllarphcnuiiicnoiituklngplaco amid tho darkness or thu night. Hull Itself might then lmvo found a ilttlng Imago. Even as It was, my hair stood on end, while leaned afar down within tho yawning abysses, letting imagina tion descend, and stalk about in tho btrango vaulted halls, and ruddy gulfs, and red ghastly chasms of tho hideous and unfathomable lire. I had Indeed made a narrow escape. Had tho bal loon remained a -very short while- long er within tho cloud that Is to say, had not tho Inconvcnlcnco of getting wot, determined inoto discharge! tho ballast my destruction might, ond probably would, have been tho consequence. Such perils, nltliough Ilttlo considered, are perhaps the greatest which must bo encountered In balloons. I had by this lime, however, attained too great an elevation to ho any longer uneasy on this head. I wafk now rising rapidly, and by fieven o'clock tin barometer Indicated nn nltltude of no less than nlno miles and a half. 1 began to And great dlfll culty In drawing my breath. My head, too, was excessively painful; and, hav ing felt somo tlino a tnolstiiro about my cheeks, I at length discovered It to bo blood, which was oozing quite fast ftom the drums of my cars. My eyes, also, gave mo great uneasiness. Upon pass ing tho hand over them they seemed to havo.protrtidcd from their sockets in no inconsiderable degrcejand ull objects in thu car, and oven tho balloon itself, appeared distorted to my vision. Theso symptoms were moro than I had ex pected, and occasioned mo somo ularin. At this Juncture, very imprudently, and without consideration, I throw out from the car three five-pound pieces of ballast. The accelerated rate of ascent thus obtained, carried mo too rapidly, and without sufllclenl gradation, into a highly rareiltd ttratum of tho atmos' phero, and the result had nearly proved fatal to my expedition and to myself. I was suddenly seized witli a spasm which lasted formoro than live minutes and even when this, in a measure, cciifcd, I could catch my breath only at long intervals, and in a gasping man ner, bleeding all tho wlillo copiously at tho.noso nnd ears, and oven slightly at the eyes. The pigeons appeared dls tresscd iti tho extreme, and struggled to escape; wlillo tho cat mewed pitcously, nnd, with her tonguo hanging out of her mouth, staggered loand tro In the car as if under tho influenco of poison. now loo late discovered tho great rashnens or which I had been guilty In dlachaiging thu ballast, and my agita tion was excessive. I anticipated noth ing less than tlcntli, and death In a few minutes. The physical suffering I un derwent contributed also to render me nearly incapable of making any exer tlon for tho preservation of my lifo. had, indeed little power of reilectlou left, aud tho violence of tho pain In my lteati seemed to bo greatly on tho in crease. Thus I found that my senses would shortly givo way altogether, aud I had already clutched one of the valve opes with tho view of attempting tide scent, when tho recollection of tho trick I had played tho three creditors, and the possiblo consequences to myself, should I return, operated to deter mo lorthe moment. I lay down in the bottom or tho car, aud endeavored to collect my faculties. In this I so far succeeded as to determine, upon the e.v peri ment of losing blocd. Having no lancet, however, I was constrained to perrorin tho operation in the best man ner I was able, and finally succeeded In opening n vein In my left arm, with tho blade of my penknife. Tho bloctl had hardly commenced flowing when I ex perienced a sensible relief, and by tho time Iliad lost about half a moderato bad in-full , most or the worst symptoms had abandoned mo entirely. I never theless did not think it expedient to atte mpt getting on my feet immediate ly; hut, having tied up my arm os well as I could, I lay still for about a quar ter or an hour. At tho end of this time I arose, and fuund myself freer from ab solute pain or any kind than I had been during the last hour aud a quarter or my ascension. Thodifiicully of breath ing, however, wasdluiiuished In a very slight degree, and I found that it would soon bo positively necessary to mako use of my condenser. In tho meantimo looking towaids the cat, who was again snugly stowed uwny upon my coat, I discovered, to my Infinite surprise, that she had taken tho opportunity of my in disposition to bring into light a litter or tlireo little kittens. This was an addi tion to tho number or passengers on my part altogether unexpected; but 1 was pleased at the occurrence1. It would afford mo a t haneoor bringing to a kind of test the truth or a surmise, which, more than anything else,hritl Influenced mo in attempting this ascension. I had imagined that Iho habitual endurance of theatmophcric pressure at tho sur faco of tho earth was tho cause, or near ly to, of tho pain attending animal ex istence at a distance abovo tho surfaco. Should tho kittens ho found to sutler uneasiness in an equal degree with their mother, I must consider my theory In fault, but a falluru to do so I should look upon as a strong confirmation of my Idea. Ily eight o'clock I had actually at tained an elevation of seventeen miles abovo tho surfaco of tho earth. Thus It seemed to mo evident that my ralo of ascent was not only on tho increase, but that tho progression would have been apparent In n slight degreo oven had I not discharged tho ballast which I did. Tho pains In my head and ears return ed, nt Intervals, with violence, and I still continued to hired occasionally tit tho nose; but, upon thu whole, I suffer ed much less than might have been ex pected. I brcathtd, however, at every moment, with luoroaud more difllciilty and each Inhalation was attended with it troublesome spasmodic action of tho chest. I now unpacked the condensing apparatus, ami got It ready for Imme diate IHO. Tho view orthocarth, at this period or my usccnslon, was beautiful indeed. To tho westward, tho northward, and thu southward, as far as I could see, lay a boundless sheet of apparently unrulH od ocean, which every moment gained a deepe r aud deeper tint of blue. At a vast distance to tho eastward, although perfectly ill seerniblu, extended tho IS' lauds of Great IirItalii,tho entlro Athui tic co.istsol pranco anil Spain, with a small portion of tho northern part or tho continent or Africa. Of Individ' ual edifices nut a trace could bo discov ered, mid tho proudest cities or man kind had utitterly faded away from the race or tho earth. i What mainly astonished me, in tho appearanco eJf things below, was the seeming concavity or tho surface of tho globe. I had, thoughtlessly enough, xpected to sco Its real convtxily ho- como evident as I ascended; but a very litllo reflection siifllced to oxplttiu thn discrepancy. A lino, dropped from my position perpendicularly to tho earth, would hav$ formed tho perpendicular or a right-angled triangle, of which tho base would have extended rrom tho right-angle to tho horizon, and tho hy pothenuso from the horizon to my pos ition, llut my height was ilttlo or noth Ing In comparison with my prospect. In other words, tho baso nnd hypothetic uso of tho supposed triangle would, in my case, lmvo been so long, when com. pared to tho perpendicular, that the two former might havo been regarded as nearly parallel. In this manner tho horizon of the icronaut nppcars olways to bo upon a level with tho car. But as tho point Immediately beneath him seems, and is, at a great distance below him, It seems, of course, also at a great distance below tho horizon. Hence tho Impression of concavity; and this Impression must remain, until the ele vation shall bear so great a proportion to tho prospect, that tho apparent par allelism of tho baso and liypothcnuse, disappears. Tho pigeons about this time .seeming to undergo much suffering, I determin ed upon giving them their liberty. I flrst untied ono of them, a beautiful gray-mottled pigeon, and placed him upon the rim or tho wicker-work. He appeared extremely uneasy, looking anxiously around him, fluttering his wings, and making a loud cooing noiso but could not bo persuaded to trust himself from the car. I took him up at last, and threw him toabouthalf-a-doz- en yards from the balloon. IIo made, however, no attempt to descend as had expected, but struggled with great vehemenco to get back, uttering at tho same time very shrill nnd piercing cries. He at length succeeded in ro gaining his former station on the rim, but had hardly done so when his head dropped upon his breast, und ho fell dead within the ear. The other ono did not prove so unfortunate. To lire vent his following tho example of his companion, and accomplishing a return l tnrew mm ciownwarus with all my force, and was pleased to And him con tinuchls descent, with great velocity making use of his wings with ease, and in a perfectly natural manner. In a very short time lie was uut ofsight,atid I havo no doubt he reached homo In safety. Puss, who seemed In a great measure recovered from her illness, now made a hearty meal or the dead bird ond then went to sleep with much ap parent satisfaction. Her kittens wcro quite lively and so far evinced not the slightest sign of any uneasiness. At a quarter-past elght,bei ng able no longer to draw breath without the most intolerable pain, I proceeded, forth with, to adjust around the car the ap paratus belonging to tho condenser. This apparatus will require somo Ilttlo explanation, and your Excellencies will please to bear In mind that my object, in tho flrst place, was to surround my self and car entirely with a barricade) against tho highly raretled atmosphere in which I was existing, with the In tention or Introducing within this bar ricade, by means or my condenser, a quantity or this same atmosphere suffi ciently condensed lor the purposes of respiration, with this object in view I had prepared a very strong, perfectly air-tight, but ilexiblo gum-elastic bag. In this bag, which was of sufllclent di mensions, tho entiro car was in a man ner pi aced. That is to say, it (tho bag) was drawn over tho wholu bottom of tho car, up Its sides, and so on, nlong tho outside of the ropes, to tho upper rim or hoop where tho net-work is at tached. Having pulled tho bag up in this way, and formed a complete enclos ure on all sides, and at bottom, it was now necessary to fasten up Its top or mouth, by passing its material over the hoop of tho not-work, In other words, between tho net-work and the hoop. Rut If the net-work work wero separated from the hoop to admit tills passage, what was to sustain tho car In tho meantimo? Now tho net-work was not permanently fastened to tho hoop, but attached by a series ofrunnlng loops (jr nooses. I therefore undid only a few of these loops at ono time1, leaving tho car, busptnded by tho remainder. Hav ing thus inserted a portion of tho cloth forming tho upperpart of tho bag, I ro fastened tho loops not to tho hoop, for that would have been impossible, sinco tho cloth now intervened, but to a series of largo buttons, afllxcd to tho cloth Itself, about three feet below the mouth of the bag; tho intervals be tween the buttons having been mado to correspond to tho Intervals between tho loops. This done, n few moro oi the loops wcro unfastened from the rim, a farther portion of the cloth introduced, anil tho disengaged loops then connec ted with their proper buttons. In this way It was possiblo to Insert tho whole upper part of tho bag between the net-work and tho hoop. It is ovl dent that tho hoop would now drop down within tho car, wlillo the whole weight of tho car Itself, with all its con tents, would bo hehl up meiely by tho strength of the buttons. This, at first sight, would seem tin inadequate de pendence; but It was by no means so, for tho buttons were not only very strong in themselves, but so' close to gether that a very slight portion of tho whole weight was supported by any ono of them. Indeed, had the car anil contents been three times heavier than they were, Ishould.not havo been at all uneasy, I now raised up tho hoop again within thu covering of gum-elastic, and propped It at nearly Its former height by means of thrco light poles prepared for tho occasion. This was done, of course, to keep tho bag distend, cd uttho top, and to j rcservo tho lower part or tho net-work In Its proper sit uation, All that now remained was to fasten up tho mouth of tho enclosure; and this was readily accomplished by gathering tho folds of tho material to gether, und twisting them up very tightly on tho inside by means of a kind of stationary tournluuet. A Massachusetts XMCan in a Quick sana at xuc .Bottom or a well An Bitraordlnary Affair The Effort to Xclcaso Bun. A singular accident and one that called tho greatest excitement in tho quiet town of Wlnchostcr, occurred on Monday. A man named Wing has been employed a fow days past In repairing or rebuilding n well upon tho promises or Mr. Cameron. Monday ho was at work about thirty feet below tho sur faco, at the bottom of tho well, laying uncif, with which tho well was to ho built. IIo is a man weighing over 200 pounds, of largo frame. Ho was stand- ng In tho water and sand at tho bottom and, Insensibly to himself, graduallv sank until ho discovered th.it his feet ond legs, nearly to tho knees wero em bedded in a quicksand. Ho mado repeat ed attempts to movo, but found that ho was stuck fast. Those at work at tho mouth of tho well wcro Informed of t ho fact, and tho ropo was fastened about him and an attempt mado to pull him out by the aid of tho windlass at tho top. They wcro tinablo to movo him at nil, and tho pain to him was so acuto that they wero compelled to desist. Ropes were then arranged so that ho should not sink any decper.and attempts wero tnatio to dig him out. Tho well being stiioii and Mr. Wing very largo, no ouo could get inside tho brick work to assist him, and ho has been compell ed to tlo nil tho dinging himself with pails or cups, passing them ns ho filled them to somo ono above. Tho sand constantly filled in as ho dug it out.and in this condition he remained all tho night. Refreshments ond stimulants wero sent down to him, nnd ho was alive and In as good spirits next morn ing as n man could be expected to be under such circumstances. A colored man worked In tho well eight hours Monday night, assisting tho unfortun ate man to extricate himself. At about 3 o'clock the fire bells of tho town wcro rung, ami In that way a relief was ob- tained for tho men who had been at work and ou watch at tho well during tho night. With daylight the men renewed their efforts with vigor, occasionally pausing to speak on encouraging word to tho poor victim. The flrst train to Boston boro a gentleman In quest or somo pro fessional miners, who might possibly suggest somo quick method of release On their arrival nttlio scene of opera tion theso gentlemen immediately or dered somo piles to bo driven about him, in order that tho adhesive and contracting properties of tho sediment might meet with somo resistance. This was partly accomplished, when It was found that one leg of Mr. Wing was getting loose, ond after somo boring with long augurs, and a constant pull ing upward of thecntirebodyby means or tho windlass above, the limb was cleared, amid much cheering from tho crowd who surrounded the well at tho imminent risk not only or meeting a rate similar to that of the man whom they were endeavoring to rescue, but also of breaking their necks. This was at 11 o'clock. Tho wood driven into tiio clay so relieved the pressure upon Mr. Wing's hotly that ono hour and a half later ho wus pulled up and placed on terra Anna, though In a very ex hausted condition. IIo was Instantly conveyed to Mr. Cameron's house, and Dr. Windsor and Mr. Cameron endeav ored to restore the benumbed Hmbs.For tunately, tho well water, though in tensely cold, had not thu slightest par ticle or rrost in it, elso very serious con sequences would have followed oven a short confinement. IIo Is now doing well, and tho physicians apprehend no serious Injury from his Incarceration or twonty-ono and a hairiiours. Tho citi zens exerted themselves to tho utmost to rescue Mr. Wing, and every fresh idea brought forward during the weary work found plenty of willing hands ready to tako hold. Tho brick work around the bottom of tho well and nlso the etiiliing wero torn to pieces in tho frantic endeavors of thu workmen to save the lifo or tho unfortunate man. The Cardiff Giant Outdone. Alleged Discovery of the Skel eton of a Giant in tup. Oil Re gions. Tho Oil City Times of Friday week is responsible for thu following: On Tuesday morning last, while Mr. William Thompson, assisted by Robert R. Smith, was engaged In making un excavation near the. housu of tho former, about htilf a mile north of West Hickory, preparatory to erecting a der rick, they exhumed un enormous helmet of Iron, which was corroded with rust. Further digging brought to light a sword which measured nlno feet In length. C urloslty incited them to enlarge tho hole, and after somo Ilttlo tlmo they discovered tho bones of two enormous feet. Following up tho "lead" they had so unexpectedly struck, in a fuw hours' tlmo they had unearthed n well-preserved skeleton or an enormous giant, bolonglng to a species ortho human family which probably Inhabited this and other parts of tho world at that tlmo of which tho Blblo speakB, when It says, "and thero wero giants In those days." Tho helmet Is said to bu of tho shapo of thoso round among tho rnliis oi Ninovch. Tho bones or tho skeleton nro remarkable white.

PLUNGED TO THE HILT THROUGH A MAN'S TEMPLE IT TAKK8 THE FULL 8TUENGTH OV FIVE MEN TO EXTRACT IT HE LAUGHS AND JOKES UNDER THE OPERATION. A row nnd remarkable esse of stab bing took placo on Christmas, at 7 o'clock In the evening, on Broadway, near Eighth street, In front of Bloch's second hand store. Jerry Horgan was found lying there, with a knife burled to tho hilt in ids loft temple. Ho was unablo to speak, nnd was thought to bo tlying. Restoratives rovlved him, and ho was taken to tho Cincinnati Hospit al. Hero ho was unusually facetious in his talk. "Doctor," lie said, "I guess I'm a dead man." "You'ro worth two dead men," res pited the doctor. "Well," said he, "I ain't At to die. I'm too big a sinner." While tho surgeons wero prcpariug to extract tho knlfo ho kept opening and shutting tho part which stuck out of Ids head. "I Just want to sco how It reels. It don't hurt a bit, but It seems Hko I had two heads. Well, au Irish man is hard to kill. AVo're a tough set, Lifo sticks to us mighty close." When tho surgeons got ready for work, and found It imposslblo to extract tho biado by hand, they laid thu man on a couch upon the floor, aud with tho loft side of his head uppermost. Three men with might and main held his head down. Tho engineer brought his pipo tongs In to grasp tho hilt of the knlfu. This gave a sort or augur han dle for tho surgeon and engineer to pull by. All things ready, tho surgeon and engineer took hold each with both hands', and tugging steadily with all their power, against tlireo pairs of hands holding tho head down, the knifo came out with a jerk, thanks to a rivet of good steel. Horgan bore it without flinching, exc'almlng when tho feat was accomplished, "Now my two heads havo como together, and it feels good." Tho weapon was a common two-bladed pocket-knife, tho blade used well worn. It penetrated two and a half Inches. Tho optic nerve is not injured. It is thought that Horgan is in no dan ger; that, on tho contrary, ho will re cover without difficulty. How the affair took place, why, and who drovo that knife through Horgad's skull, iti a secret locked in his chest, and ho refuses to surrender tho keys. Tills much lie reveals : He was drink ing and carousing all Christmas with a party. In tho evening tho party were in forensic mood. Wrath mingled in the discussion. Tho logic of cold steel ond mighty muscle cut short tho debate, closed it, and broke up tho assembly. Jerry's boarding placo Is with Mrs. Corcoran, on Elm, between Eighth and Ninth streets. Officers McFarlane, Wharton and McDcrmott found Horgan, and had taken him to tho hospital.

Crockett and James Gibson wcro nblo lawyers, and in full practice, In tho early days of Jackson's Purchase. They resided at Fulton, in Hickman Co., Ky. On ono occasion they wero employed ojipositcsof an ejectment case, before a magistrate. The court was held In a schoolhouse. Crockett was readiug the law to tho court, and when ho got through, Gibson asked him for his book, saying that tho statute just read was new to him. Crockett refused to glvo It to hlin ou tho ground that it was his own private property and if Mr. alb son wanted tho benefit of law books, thero wcro somo for sale. Tho court ruled that tho book was prlvato prop erty, nnd (hat Gibson had no right to seo it except witii Crockett's consent. Gibson was puzzled, but being a'inaii of resources, hu fell upon n plan which completely upset Crockett's calcula tions. He stepped back, nml found under a desk nn old copy or Noah Web stcr's spelling book, aud in addressing tho court, he read rrom tho speller : be It enacted by tho General Assembly of tho Commonwealth of Kentucky, that all laws heretofore passed (hero flttiug Crockett's law,) bo and they nro hereby repealed." Crockett sprang to Ills feet with, ''Let mo seo that book." "No you don't," says Gibson; "this book, sir, Is prlvato property, and lam not in tho hubltof packing law books around for tho benefit of others." It Is. needless to say Crockett lost his case, Gibson having tho cut at him. Why He Smoked. In tho reign of James I, of tobacco hating notorlty, the boys of a school acquired tho habit of smoking and indulged In It night and day using tho most ingenious expedients to conceal tho vlco from tho master, till ono evening, when tho chaps wero to gether around tho firo or their dormi tory, indulging each other in a vapor or their own creating, lot lu burst tho master, and stood in awful dlgulty be fore them. "How now?" quoth tho domlulo to tho first lad : "how dare you bo smok ing tobacco?" "Sir," said tho boy, "I am subject to hcadacho.andapIpotakeson'thQ pain." "And you ? andyou?-atulyou?" inquired tho pedagogue, questioning every boy In bis turn. One hud a "raging toothacho;" an. other colic; it third a cough; In short they all had something. "Now, sirrah," bellowed tho doctor, to tho last boy, "what disorder do you smtiko for?" Alas I tho excuses wero all exhausted; but tho interrogated urchin put down his pipo after a farewell whiff and look Ing up lu his master's face, sold, In a whining, hypocritical lone, ".S'i, 1 tmoke for corns."
