THE GREAT BALLOON VOYAGE,
The Watertown (N. Y.) Reformer
- of the sth inst., contains an account
of the balloon ascension of Mr. La
Mountain and Mr. Haddock, from
~,Watertown, on Thursday, the
ult., written by the latter. They as
cended at 5.33 P. M.,•and in six min
utes were far above the clouds. At
5.50 they were at least two miles
high—thermometer 34 degrees. They
continued to ascend very rapidly, and
at 6 10 the thermometer indicated a
temperature of 18 . degrees. The bal
loon then began to descend, and- a
quantity of ballast was thrown over.
At half past seven they,iieSeended in
to a valley near a high mountain, but
as the place looked forbidding they
threw over thirty pounds of ballast and
rose again. In about twenty minutes
they made another effort to descend,
found themselves surrounded by
a dense wilderness and over, a small
lake. They then threwoveß4ll. their
ballast but eigtiteem pounds,i and i aftqr
geWng..ovier _the wilderness, settled
down by the side of a tree to wait
till morning. Much rain fell through
the night, and they became thorough
lydrenched with it. At about six
o'clock the next morning they threw
overboard all their remaining ballast,
blankets, shawls, &e., and rose again.
They were rapidly driven north Ward
over an unbroken AVilderness, and
concluded that they had gone too far.
Mr. Haddock says :
"As the eUrrent,was driving us still
to the north, we are not stay up, as
we were drifting further and still
further to the 'frozen tide' from which
we knew. tib ere wa„s no ,escape. Mr.
La Mountain seize the valve cord
and discharged gas, and we descend
ed in safety by the side of a tall
spruce. We mule, the Atlantic fast
by her anchor, and
„for a moment
talked over what we Should do. We
had not a mouthful to eat; no protec
tion at night from the damp ground;
were distant we knew not how far
from any habitation ; were hungry
to start with: no earthly hope of
raising a fire, and no idea as to where
we were. We settled in our own
minds that we were either in John
Brown's tract or in the great Canada
wildeviess T -V,,th_e.squgh,,we thought
6f Ott,owa—and knew that a
course south by east woul take us*,
if we had strength enough to travel the
distance. La M. stepped up to thebal
loon and gave the edge of the basket
a - parting shake, saying, "Good-bye,
Old Atlantic," and I fancied I could
see a tear in his honest eye when he
said it."
They then, started to the south on
foot, and after traveling about a mile
and a half came to the bank of a
small creek, upon which they found
an old pork barrel with a Montreal
inspection mark upon it, from which
they concluded they were in Canada.
After traveling On Friday up the un
known creek, they discovered an un
inhabited lumber shanty in which
they spent the night. The next morn
ing they built a raft, in the hope that
they could be floated out of the wil
derness, as the lumber is floated out
in the spring; but they encountered
great difficulties from the shallowness
of the streams, and from entering
large lakes where they lost the chan
nel entirely. Thus several weary
days of suffering wore away. Mr.
Haddocks says :
"It had now been full four days
since we ate a meal. All we had eat
en in the meantime was a ft:6g apeice,
four clams and a few wild berries,
whose acid properties and bitter taste
bad probably. done us more harm than
good. Our strength was beginning
to fail very fast, and our systems were'
evidently aboUt:tn,'unOrgo an extra
ordinary clangs. I did latlt'' perratt
myself to think of food—we thought
over all of poor Strain's sufferings
on the Isthmus of Darien where he,
too, was paddling a raft down an un
known stream, but never believed , he
could stand half the amount of suffer
-1" ing he did. Besides, he bad means to
make a fire-170 hadnone.
"Ile was upon a stream which he
knew would lead to the sea and safe
ty—we, werikUpon ...waters whose-flow
we knew really nothing of, and were
as much lost: as though in the moun
tains of the moon. But we 'Couldn't
give it up so,{ and tookfresh courage
as troubles appeared to thickau
"Well, we turned the raft around,
and poled herjack toward the place
where had entered thisfirst
We had gone: "bout a mile when we
heard the so 4of a gun, quicklyfO s l
ilowed by'. : "Secend report.
sound was ; ever so sweet to me
as that. We helloed as loud 'as
we were able a good many times -but
could get no response. We kept our
poles going, and had gone about half
a mile, when I called La "Mountain's
t attention to what thought was a
I smoke curling up among the trees on
the side of the hill. My own eyesight
had begun to fail me to an extent
that I could not depend upon it when
a long, steady gaze was necessary.—
He said it,was smoke, and,: that.,-he
thought just below' him' on the bank,
was a Wark canoe. In a few moments
the blue smoke rolled gently, yet un
mistakeably, above the treeMps, and
we felt that were saved. Such a re
vulsion of feeling was almost too
much for us. We could hardly be
lieve our senses, and credited any
thing to our condition with the ut
most caution. Our bitter disappoint
ments had taught us that lesson.
"We paddled the raft with the ends
of our poles directly across the lake,
near, perhaps three fourth of a mile
wide, and made for the canoe. It
proved to be a large one, evidently
an Indian's. Up the bank I pressed,
leaving La .Ifouutain at the canoe to
cut off a retreat by the Indian, in
'ease he was timid and. *ishe,d to : Avoild
us. I came at once Upon the shan
ties of a lumbering wood, and from
the chimney of the furthest buildings
a broad volume ,of smokewas rising.
I halloed—a noise was heard inside
and a noble Fooking Indian came to
the door: "Vous panics Francais ?"
was my eager inquiry, as I grasped
his outstretched hand. "Yes, sir, and
English too." Re drew me into the
cabin, and there vas the head of the
party, a noble hearted Scotchman
named An Oa ,Qameron. s iMin edi
d iately told my Story—that we come
in with a balloon, were lost, and had
been four days without food, asking
where we were. Imagine my sur
prise when he said we were one '
dred and fifty miles clue north of Ot,
tows—in the dense uninhabited for
est whose only limit was the Arctic
circle. In a word .we were nearly
300 mites, in,a due north course from
Watertcwn r in latitude 47. ,
'Dinner was all ready. - The party
consisted of four persons—Mr. Cts,Au
eron and his assistant, who was also
named Cameron; La Mala 'Mac-Dou
gall—a half-breed—and his son Beau
cile. I despatched the young Indian
for La Mountain who came in after a
moment, the _Mountain,
picture of
wretchedness. All that the cabin con
tainedwts freely, tendered us and we
big= to eat. Language is inadequate
to express our sensations while doing
so. The clouds had all lifted from
our sombre future, and the 'silver lin
i ng' shon c qighter for the deep
darkness through which we hadpass
ed.
"Here let me state that the stream
we came down so far with our raft is
called Filliman's creek; the lake we
are4nd,,is,:called Bostekong
lake, and drains into Bostekong river
which flows into the Gatineau. The
Gatineau joins the bttowa opposite
Ottowa city. Mr. Cameron assured
us that these streams are so'tortuous
and in many places so rapid, that no
set of men could get a raft down, no
matter how well they knew the noun
try, nor how much provisions they
ralek.t. have. Ile regarded our deliv
erance as purely Providential, and
many times remarked that we cep
tainly would have perished but for
seeing hie sixtoke:.
Under the A.Uidafice of Mr. Camer
on they returned to the place where
the'balloon had been left,, but finding
her very much torn, concluded to
abandon 4r,. A party ,of Indians
then accompanied them. out of the
wilderpe,ssowl gn thpirrettirn to the
regions of civilization they were treat
ed-with much kindness.
Mr. Haddock concludes his narra
tive as follows :
"Several general conclusions and
remarks shall terminate this narra
tive,
,rea,cly,,t9,9 long,, , WViy did y 194
pernilt yourselves to go so .far?' will
naturally be asked. To which we
can only reply that the wind was ex
ceedingly light when we ascended ;
that we were verysoon among the
clond,e,;and,, t. 9
take Cognizance of our course, or to
Pdge how fast we were traveling:—
erhaps it is well here. to remark
that when you are sailing in a bal
loon you are tAt,cyly- unconscious of
motion, unless you can see the earth,
Nor can you tell, ,by a compass, in
which direction ir,ou are traveling,
unless yon are snAcieut of an astron
omer to judge from the shifting ang
les formed by certain " stars. In a
word, if you cannot see the earth, you
cannot tell how fast; nor in which di..
rection you move. This will perhaps,
explain why we unconciously drifted
- off to latitudes so remote. When We
rose above the ,thick MaAse,S of4isttids,
..bef6re •.gurklOWt. weundoubtedly
struck a rapid.current which carried
us northeaSt. It is my opinion that,
after we had travelled in this current
about one. hour, we struck another
current, from .& variation ot.onr.- alti

When we:decended near the earth

THE EXECUTION OP MARY
STUART
M. de Larmartine's latest . literary
manner is stvikingly exempliftedin his
life of the Queen of Scots, written
by him in English, and recently pub
-I.lished in London.., It is admirably
romantic, and in no partmore so than
in : this description of the excution.

Pale, but unitinching,•she.contempla-,
ted the dismal preparations. There
I stood the executioner and his assist

Qn the4foor was scattuvedi the sa,w
'<lust which was to soakher blood, and
and in a dark corner lay the bier
t which was to be her last prison. It
Was nine o'clock when the Queen ap
peared in the funeral hall. Fletcher,
Dean of Peterboro,ugh, and
. certam
privileged pmispus; to the number b'f
more than two hundred were assem
bled. The hail was hung with black
cloth; the scaffold, which
,was.,eleva
ted about two feet and a Atitif Above
the ground, was covered with black
frieze of Lancaster : the arm-chair on
which Mary was to sit,ithe fpot-stool
,en which she was to kneel, the Kock,
on which her head wtta- to be laid,
were covered with black iverVet.
The, Queen was clothed in mourn
ing like the ball, and as the ensigns
of punishment. Her black velvet
robe, with its high collar and hang
ing sleeves, was bordered with erm
ine. Her mantle, lined with marten
sable, Was satin, with pearl buttons,
and a long train. A chain of sweet
smelling beads, to which was attach
ed a scapulary, and beneath that a
golden cross; fell non, her bosoin.-•,,-.
Two rosaries Were suspended to her
girdle, and a king veil of White lace,
which in some measure softened this I
costurite,.o,,a widow and of a eon- 1
demned criminal, was thrown around
her. • • .
Arrived on the scaffold, Mary seat
ed herself in the chair provided for
her, with her face towards the spec
tators.,
,"_Pe Dean of Peterborough,
in ecciesiatical costume, sat, on the
right of7.the Queen, with a,hlack vcl
- footstool before him,. , The Earls
of .Kent and Shrewsbury were seated
like him on the right, but upon lam , -
er chairs. On the other side of the
Queen stood sheriff. Andrews, with
his white wand. In front of Mary
were seen the executioner and his as
sistant,
distinguishable by their vest
mceto of black velvet,velvet, with red crape
round the IA arm. Behind the
Queen's chair, ranged by ;the wall,
wept her attendants and maidens.—
In the body of the hall, the nobles
and., citizens from the neighboring
countieci.,wereguarded by the musket
eers of Sir •DreW Drury. Beyond the
balustrade was was the bar of the
tribunal. The sentence was read;
the Queen pro tested against itin the
name of royalty and innocence, but
accepted death for the sake of the
faith. She then knelt down before
Oe,block, .and„.oo,,execntioner pro
ceeded to remove her veil. She re
poled him by a gesture, and turning
towards the Earls, with a blush on
her ferehead i ,"l - am not accustomed,','
she said, "to lie, ifindressed before so
numerous a company and by the
hands of such grooms of the 'cham
ber.", She then called Jane Kennedy
and Elizabeth purls, who took off her
Inantle, her veil, herylains, cross and
scapulary, On their touching her
robe, the Queen told them to unloose
the corsage, and fold down her collar,
so as to leave her neck bare for the
axe. Her maidens weepingly 'yielded
her these last services. and
the, three other attendants wept and
lamented, and Mary placed her fin
ger on her lips to signify that they
should be_silent. * * *
She then arran'Red th,o , handkerchief
embroidered with thistles of gold,
with which her eyes had been covered
by Jane Kennedy. Thrice she kissed
the crucifix, each time,
.repeating,
"Lord, intothy hands I commend my
spirit." She knelt a new, and leant
her head on that block which was al
readymeored by deep marks; and in
this solemn attitude she again recit
ed some Orses from the Psalms.—
The ) exeeettioner interrupted her at
the third verse by a blow of the axe *
but its trembling stroke only grazed
her neck; she groaned slightly and

! Mr. Ateretou gained his ' side, when
his gaze fell upon a form,- shrouded
from head to' foot, in a cing white
night dress about which a. mass of
long hair-fell in wild confusion.

This spectral form walked slowly
'
to and fro on the ridge-board which
covered the `apex- of the roof, ap
proaching in frightful proximity of
[ . the abrubt termination at the ends,
and calMly turning about to retrace
the distance:. The house was a high
ono, and a misstep or a step too far
would have plunged the night walker
down to certain destruction. The
' walker, occasionally raised lApr band
to her head, as though engtged in
thought or. troubled With pain. The
head always maintained the same po
sition. A chimney stood directly in
the middle of the roof; around which
~ehe passed with ease, placing one
- hand upon its top, and walking down
the sloping roof to get around. Once
in this spectral walk she paused at
the edge , :of: the roof; - and looked
straight ahead. f .: .1., ,
A waving movement of the-right
hand accompanied the act, ;:lvben the

spot .54as reached .again a fOyir mo

paused, and again gazed out into the
darkness, and then, with a - slow me
:tion,-stretched out a hand, and with
outspread fingers clutched at some
thing which had no existence except
in tbe TeVered - mind Of the sleeper—
The other hand was then extended
in like mannbr; and the - body went

The fbrin was motiOnless a moment;
and then commenced its walk again,
continuing as far as the middle of the
roof, when itturned toward the rear
of the house, and moving down the
slope of the roof, was lost to sight.
Mr. Moreton recognized the fea
.ures and form of his servant girl,
about ! 18,! flanked Jane Mooney. She
descended through a skylight to her
..xoom. Hastening in, he aroused his
wife, and went. with her to the girl's
room, and' founa,ber sitting on the
side of the bid, wide.awake, and. inz:a
state of mind - borddring-on• diStrac-'
tion. She had no knowledge of the
occurrence, but had been awakened
by the noise of her employer enter
tering the house, and found herself
standing in the. middle .o.f,ber own
room in the condition described.—
The girl bad been suffering from a
brain fever, from which she was grad
ually recovering.
A PLEASANT INCIDE'ZiT
We well remember, says the Bos
ton Journal, -an anecdote of Daniel
Webster, related to us by a lady who
passed away in the bloom of life,
which disproves a very common sup
position that the mannerof Mr. Web
ster was cold and repulsiyo. When a
child of eleVen years of age, she was
traveling in a stage to Concord, N.H.
This was before tho,railroadlrextend
ed to that placeond when it was a
tedious day's journeyykom Boston.—
Among - the passengetqs was' Darti l el
Webster, who Was on his way to (ion
cord to deliver an oration. The
young girl-knew not of . his Tame as
an orator, which had then reached its
meridian Met:- There was nothing
about hi ni - inspire awe, and she was
soon on the best of terms with the
groat statesman. He chatted With
her, told .her stories, joked with her,
got out at thOyayside taverns to pro
cure for lie 4. Antor,,and.wheuksbe t was
tired, - nestled her to sleep in his arm's.
Occasionally ho would seem abstract
ed. His lips moved, and he was prob
ably con °log over his oration for the
morrow. But a word from his young
companion, who was to hitn,..4.t. a
waif on the sea of travel,—*C4d
again light up his Countenance with
a smile. Thus they journeyed upon
the best of terms until they reached
Concord, when the guns spoke a wel
come, and the stage was quickly .sur
rounded by,a,,crowd eager to catch a
glimpse of the -opponent olltayu,e,
and the statesman
,whose praise was
upon every tongue. . The. young
girl
shrank back
. afrighted, and titnicr
