MY HAPPY HOME.
BT MARIE MATVI LIE.
My happy home is close beside
The Juniata's silvery tide,
Where sparkling waves borne swift along
Trill forth a never ceasing song.
How sweetly ou my listening ear
Their murmur falls in accents dear.
And back to fond remembrance brings
Bright thoughts of cherished bygone things.
Once, when a happy sportive child,
I roamed these hills and mountains wild-
Played by this ever gliding stream,
Then life was but a passing dream.
Oft when the moon, in beauty dressed.
Rose brightly o'er Mount Butfaloe's crest,
I've watched its rays, as bright they fell
Where Juniata's waters swell.
Bright days of childhood, past and gone.
Thy Joys and pleasures all have ilown!
Kind friends and loved companions gay
Like summer tiow'rs have passed away.
Vet still I gaze with honest pride
Upon the river's roiling tide;
And still, tho' far away I roam,
1 love my childhood's happy home.
Thus years roll on—death follows fust;
Oh! may we fondly hope at last
To find, when life's frail cord is riven,
A home, a happy hckue in heaven.
HYMN ON THE SEASONS.
BT THOMPSON*.
These, as they eliuuge. Almighty Father, these
Are but the varied God. The rolling year
Is full of thee. Forth In t' ' r -!ng
Thy beauties walk, thy tei ... \
Wide flush the fields; the - * aal ;s h.t.in .
Echo the mountains roum: forest smiles;
And cv'ry sense, and cv'rv .rlisjoy.
Then comes thy glory in the suiutni r months.
With light and heat refulg i . Then thy sun
Nlioots full perfection thro' the swelling year.
And oft thy voice In dreadful thunder speaks;
And oft at dawn, deep noon, or falling eve,
By brooks and groves, in hollow whisp'rlug gales.
Thy bounty shines in autumn unconfin'd,
And spreads a common feast for all that lives.
In winter, awful thou! with clouds and storms
Around thee thrown, tempest o'er tempest roll'd,
Majestic darkness! ou the whirlwind's wing
Hiding sublime, thou bldst the world adore.
And humblest nature with thy northern blast.

The JLate Balloon Ascension in
Illinois.
Authentic Faticulars. —The startling
story of the late frightful ascent of two
small children alone in a balloon, has na
turally excited some incredulity, which in
turn, has been increased by the rather di
verse accounts given of the event. But
the return to our city of the aeronaut, Mr.
8. M. Brooks, enables us to give an authen
tic confirmation and true version of the
thrilling narrative. This gentleman kind
ly informs us substantially as follows :
lie was to have ascended from the Fair
Grounds at Centralia on Friday, the 17th
September, but finding himself unwell, ac
cepted the offer of another aeronaut, Mr.
Wilson, who volunteered to take his place
in the balloon. Mr. Wilson effected a beau
tiful ascent, at 5J p. ui., floating westward
and then south-eastward, rising two and a
half miles, and at about 01 p. ui. descend
ed sixteen miles south-eastward of the start
ing point. lie was caught in a tree about
forty-five rods from the farm-house of Mr.
Benjamin Harvey. The spot is some two
miles and a half from Rome, Jefferson coun
ty. Mr. Harvey and his family, and others,
gathered and disentangled the air-ship.
They then pulled the car to the ground and
some boys held the ropes as tiie voyager
alighted, and while he was drawn oil' in con
versation with the inquisitive people, the
the balloon was "towed" towards the house,
and Mr. Uarvey prepared to have some
sport by raising the length of the rope, to
be pulled down. Proving too heavy to
rise, he stepped out and put in his three
children—a lad .of three years, a girl of
eight and a still older girl. At this point
Mr. Wilson called out to those holding the
ropes to be sure and hold fast. But the
children were too heavy, aud the eldest
was taken out. At this instant, through
the unwatchfulness of the persons at the
cords, the balloon suddenly and very swiftly
went up! The anchor struck in a rail fence
but tore it away, while a cry of horror
burst from the agonized group. The chil
dren screamed with horror, and the piteous
appeal, ' Pull me down, Father!' as it con
stantly grew fainter and fainter, rendered
the parents, and indeed all present, for the
time perfectly frantic. It was now past 7
o'clock, was becoming dark, and the bal
loon was lost sight of. A period of more in
tense wretcheduess to the parental heart can
scarcely be imagined.
As there was little wind, t!: ■: balloon had
gone almost directly upward until its d ap
pearance in a south-easterly course. Mes
sengers were dispatched through • < region
in every direction, and the ala- • spread
rapidly, creating the most intense excite-

ment. In all quarters the men and boys
rallied in parties to scour the country and
search the woods, in the expectation that
the victims would somewhere descend and
be subjected to the perils of drowning, or
else of starving undiscovered.
At Centralia, the intelligence caused an
indescribable sensation. The popular anx
iety—almost agony—called out Mr. Brooks,
who assured the people that the balloon
would probably descend withiu two or three
hours, and within at most thirty miles of
the point of starting. lie sent to the
distracted parents the best assurances pos
sible in the case, informing them that there
would be no danger excepting from a de
scent in the woods, when the children
might with difficulty be found, and from
the older child's first stepping out and leav
ing the younger again to rise. Apart from
these perils, in themselves improbable, Mr.
Brooks apprehended no danger to the little
voyageurs. Yet the idea became current
that they must encounter a frigid atmos
phere which they could not survive.
It was about three o'clock on Saturday
morning that Mr. Ignatius Atchinson, liv
ing on Moore's prairie, eight miles from
Mount Vernon, got up, he says, and went
out upon his porch 'to sec the blazing
star'—the comet. An immense spectre
rising from a tree, about twenty yards dis
tant, rather appalled him, and he r< n •. r-
Ed the house, and waked his family. On
his coming out agaiu, a weak and piteous
voice called to him from the spectre,
' Come here and let us down, we're almost
froze!' Mr. Atchinson speedily perceived
the astonishing nature of the case, mus
tered help, cut away several limbs of the
tree, and drew the car in safety to the
ground.
The little boy was lifted out, and when
placed upon his feet instantly ran for sev
eral yards, then turned, and for a moment
contemplated the balloon with apparent in
tense curiosity. The little girl told her
sorrows and adventures with an almost bro- !
ken heart, to these people, who strangely 1
indeed had not heard of the disaster.
A messenger arrived at Mr. Harvey's,
eighteen miles distant, at 2 p. m. with the
transporting tiding that the children were
sale. We will leave it to the reader's heart !
to suggest the joy which the intelligence j
caused. It was late in the afternoon when
the little ones arrived and were clasped
once more into the embrace of their pa
rents.
The happy result was received in Cen
tralia, and announced on Sunday morning
in the churches amid eestacics of joy.—
The children were brought there on Mon
day. and welcomed with the firing of can
non and a general jubilee. Photograph
portraits were taken of them by Mr. Win.
B. Matthews, artist in Centralia, and avar
riety of presents were made to them. The ;
girl is named Martha Ann, and her little 1
brother, David Isani. She says that lie
soon cried himself to sleep, and that she
cried till she slept a little and then wakened
up in the tree.
Mr. Brooks affirms that the balloon must
have descended by II o'clock of Friday
night, and hence had remained in the tree

Fright Jul Accident —A Little Girl Hung.
—A frightful accident occurred lately near
the village of Friendship, Alleghany coun
ty, on the New York and Erie Rrailroad.
A woman named Guilford started with a
little girl about nine years of age, after
locking up the house, to visit one of her
neighbors. After proceeding a short dis
tance the mother remembered something
which she had left behind her in the house
and sent the little girl back after it, while
she walked on. Arrived at her place of
destination, she waited a long time, but the
girl did not appear, and she returned home.
On reaching home she found the body of
lier daughter hanging from the window
outside, dead. It appeared that the little
girl, unable to affect an entrance by the
door, had raised the window, and while en
deavoring to crawl in, it had fallen upou
her ueck and held her fast until life was
extinct. She was an only child, always in
de'.eate health, and her parents are nearly
distracted at their loss.

How a Lady saved her Life but lost her
Jewelry and Passaye Money.
A lady resident of this city arrived home
yesterday from a visit to Europe, where
she has been spending the past few months.
A short time previous to tho sailing of the
Austria, the lady sent the amount necessa
ry for a cabin passage to New York, to the
agent at Hamburg, with iustructions to
select her a good state room. He did as
directed, with the exception of giving her
a desirable location in the vessel, and on
her arrival in Hamburg, to sail with the
steamer, she found the vessel so crowded
with passengers, and the room assigned to
her so undesirable, that she concluded to
take passage in another steamer. With
this intention, she applied to the agent for
the return of her passage money, hut he
declined to refund. " A bargain was a
bargain with him, and the lady was either
compelled to accept such quarters as had
been assigned to her, or to return by an
other vessel and logc her passage ticket.
She determined to adopt the latter course,
and at once secured a state loom in anoth
er steamer.
After her arrangements had been made,
and before the Austria sailed, a feeling
took possession of her mind that the ves
st J n which she had taken passage would
meet with some terrible accident, and that
sue herself would in all probability be
lost! So well satisfied was she that some
thing would happen, just as people fre
quently " borrow trouble" without waiting
for it to come along naturally, that she de
termined to send her jewelry by the Aus
tria. She therefore stripped herself of ev
erything valuable, watch and chain, pins,
rings, brooches, &c., to a considerable
amount, and packing them securely in a
basket, committed theni to the care of the
captain of the Austria, taking the precau
tion to inform her friends of what she had
done, in order that they might recov
er the p*>perty in case her own groundless
fears in regard to herself would be reali
zed.
The result is well known. The vessel
in which the lady took passage arrived
safely at its destination. That which she
had been prompted to leave, even at con
siderable loss, with its load of human be
ings, met with a fate that appalled the
stoutest hearts! It is needless to add that
the lady is contented. She lost her pas
sage money and her jewelry, but saved her
life.— Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 2.
Ilorse an'J a Corpse tied toe/ether three \
Waks. —Early in August, John Rawle, a
lad uf l(i j'ears, living in Volcano, Amador
county, who had vainly been endeavoring
to obtain his father's consent to go to Frazer
ltiver, disappeared, taking with him a val
i uable horse belonging to the family. It
was supposed that he had started for Frazer
River, and so little anxiety was felt in re
gard to him. On the 15th of August his
body was found in the Butte Ditch, a few
miles eastof Jackson, attached by a 'larriat'
!to a half dead horse. From appearances,
| the boy, on the night after leaving borne,
! lay down to sleep, with the liorse tied to
bis person to prevent liis escape. The an
imal, becoming unmanageable through
fright, during the night, had run off, and
dragged his master by the rope, until the
boy's life was extinct. Afterwards, the
horse had continued to graze around, drag
ging the body with it for three weeks,
i Finally the corps had been dragged into a
ditch where it became entangled, be) T ond
J the horses strength to extricate it. In his
efforts to pull loose, the horse had cut his
| neck with the rope. The boy's remains
were horribly mutilated. Most of his limbs
were broken, and the flesh rubbed bare from
the body.

Gold in Kansas.
For a month or two reports have been
rife of gold existing in large quantities at
i'ike's Peak, Kansas, but the impression
was general that it was a ruse to induce
emigration there.
The news is as conflicting as ever. The
Leavenworth Times of the 28th ult. says
that a Mr. Spaulding arrived in that city
from the gold diggings and pronounced
them " considerable of a myth." Gold
was everywhere, but not sufficiently acces
sible or plentiful to pay for digging. A
Mr. James Miller, who is said to have left
the Cherokee country last spring with a
company of fifty-five, has prospected the
entire gold district, and crossed over into
New Mexico. lie, too, is convinced that
no paying deposits can be found, and that
most of the miners were disheartened and
about leaving the country.
On the other hand, the Kansas City
Journal of Comerce of the 29th says that
Mr. John Horton, a well known and relia
ble business man of that place, arrived
there on the 28th ult, having left Fort
Laramie on the 3d, bringing interesting
and important news from the gold mines of
the Arkansas, Pike's Peak and Cherry
Creek. Mr. Ilorton says that all the Indi
an traders about the Fort, and in the vi
cinity of Peer Creek, were removing their
goods to the mines; that he saw at the
fort a Mr. Jackson, who had several hun
dred dollars worth of the dust; that the
mines were poorly provided with bread
stuffs, not over two months' supplies being
on band. They were also destitute of mi
ning tools. Picks and shovels were worth
their weight in gold—in fact they could
not be had at any price. There was not a
rocker in the mines, and no sheet iron with
which to make riddles.
Mr. Morton adds that a Mr. Benjamin
Clemmore is now coming in, and will be
there in eight or ten days, bringing §SOO
of the gold, which he obtained in about
two weeks without any tools; that there are
now about two hundred and eighty men in
the mines, most of whom are engaged in
prospecting Cherry Creek and in the vi
cinity of the Medicine Bow; and that sev
en men worked two weeks aud made §SOO
with nothing but pans.
Statements more contradictory than these
from apparently equally well-informed
sources, can hardly be imagined.
Massacre of Five Youwj Girls in Spain.
—At Yich, in the province of Catalonia,
on the 31st ult., as six young girls, of the
ages of 23, 21, 14, 13 12, 10 years, were
walking home from Matus cotton mills,
which are situated near the village of Rodas,
to Ingarolas, they were stopped by two mis
creants, who pistol in hand, obliged them
to turn back to a solitary place in the Ser
radanwood. Here they were ordered to sit
down, and while one wretch kept guard
over five, the other led the eldest a few
paces off and plunged his long Catalan
knife into her throat. Iler dying shriek
was heard by her companions, who one by
one. were led away and butchered. The
youngest of all, a child of ten years, on
receiving a wound in the neck fell, feign
ing death, upon which the assassins, after
taking the little money the girls had about
them went to the village of Rodas where
they lived.
The crime was perpetrated at night. The
wounded child remained motionless until
daylight, when she crawled to a neighbor
ing farm bouse. When the authorities ar
rived at the seat of crime, they found the
three eldest girls dead, and two desperately
wounded. The cause of this bloody act is
said to have been jealousy, arising from
some display of eoquctry at a ball, the pre
ceding Sunday, where the prettiest of the
girls, the one 21 years of age, refused to
dance with one of the assassins, or to re
turn him a ring, or some other love token.
He had then looked for an accomplice, and
found one in a neighbor. The accomplice,
it appears from the deposition of the child,
would have spared the younger ones, but
the other alleging the danger of discovery,
insisted upon their completing their batch
er's work.

TOTAL, DESTRUCTION OF THE CRYS
TAL. PALACE AT NEW YORK..
We extract the following particulars of the
destruction of this fine building from the
Courier of the 6th instant:
The Crystal Palace, situated on Reservoir
Square, Sixth avenue and Forty-second street,
in which the Fair of the American Institute
was being held, was destroyed by tire shortly
after fire o'clock last evening. The fire origi
nated in a room in the north nave, used for
the storage of some articles left in the Palace
since the Industrial Exhibition of 1851, and
the alarm was scarcely sounded throughout
the building before the flames began to spread
in all directions. The galleries being hung
with goods, the fire was almost instantly com
municated to the different sections of the
Palace, and the spectators and exhibitors,
about 2000 in number, bad scareely time to
save themselves. The scene which followed
was most fearful; the greatest consternation
prevailed, all rushing for the doors, except
some of the exhibitors, who made an effort to
save their goods. The rush and press at the
doors was for a time quite suffocating, but
fortunately the Palace was well planned for
means of egress, and the people soon found
themselves outside.
The floorß of the building being of Georgia
pine, burned like so much tinder, and BOOH
deprived the grand structure of much of its
support. Many of the exhibitors clung to
their valuable goods to the last moment pos
sible, but very few managed to save anything.
Some came out with their clothes on fire, and
narrowly escaped suffocation. It was the
general impression for seme time that a large
number of persons had been shut off by the
flames, those coming out last reporting sever
al left behind. The most painful apprehen
sions were entertained, and at least thirty
persons were thought to be lost in the flames,
but fortunately such was not the case. Those
supposed to be in the building at the time,
had escaped out of opposite doors to those
who had reported them lost.
In fifteen minutes after the discovery of
the fire, the dome fell in, and in live or ten
minutes more, the magnificent structure, for
seven years one of the principal ornaments of
the city, was in a heap of ruins. Fragments
of the walls and portions of the iron frame
remained. The contents continued to burn
and smoulder up to a late hour.
The firemen were early at the premises, but
could do nothing to stop the progress of the
flames. The dome was ready to fall in when
they got to work, and then efforts were found
necessary to prevent the fire from communi
cating to buildings on the streets adjoining.
At a late hour the painful impression of
persons having been lost by the catastrophe
was chiefly removed. No one was known to
to be missing, and it was believed that no
lives were lost.
The fire was supposed to hare been the
work of au incendiary—some thought for the
purpose of plunder. The entire losais thought
to bo upwards of a million dollars. The
Palace lately became the property of the city,
under the charter given the original owners,
and was not known to be insured. The cor
poration does not insure its buildings. The
Palace had been insured by its previous own
ers for $50,000. It originally cost $700,000
to SBOO,OOO.
Some of the individual Josses were large.
Robert Rait, jeweller in Broadway, lost a case
of diamonds valued at §30,000. The Castle
ton Slate Company lost SSOOO worth of prop
erty ; the N. Y. Steam Heating Company,
$0800; Mr. Chickering, piano manufacturer,
SIO,OOO. The Washington statue was worth
$15,000; the Amazon, SIO,OOO.
Engine companies No. 28, 16, and 31, had
their best apparatus on exhibition, and lost
them. The apparatus of Hose Companies
Nos. 1, 5, and 40, were also destroyed ; also
Engine No. 1, of Brooklyn.
