After supper, tbe party assembled in the lawn in front of the Hotel, and the Band played several lively airs. Mayor Sande rson being called upon for a speech briefly and eloquently responded. Mr. Samuel G. McKiernan ou be half of the Paterson boys, responded, and closed by proposing three cheers for the Mayor of Lancaster, and three more for Washington No. 4.

Wise, son ofProl.Jonn Wise, tho calebra ted jEronant. has been making prepare tlons for a grand balloon asoenatoo from, this city, and fixed on Satorday last, Sep tember 18th, as the time. The day opened rather inauspiclously, dark clouds threatening rafn, but luckily only a lltUe fell, and By noon the donds had become broken. The wind, which had been south In the morning, changed to east at noon, and many were the Bnrmlseaand guesses as to where and when the descent would be made. , , _ * As was to be expected, large numbers oi persons were in from the country to wit* neBS the novel performance, it being more than ten years since an ascension had been made from Lancaster. The town folks also had taken holiday, and the principal topio of conversation was “balloon!” Wood ward and Kevinskl did a good business In the sale of their muslo “ Up in a Balloon —the girls drummed it on their pianos, ana the boys hummed it ou the streets? up in a Balloon, boys! Up la a Balloon ! Dodging in between the stars, And sailing ronnd the moon ! , n n_ Wouldn’t It be fun, boys,—wouldn t It be inn To Boar above the comets and the sun . “ Or words to them effeck,” as Artemus Ward used to say. About noon the balloon was brought into the Square for the purpose of inflation.— This operation required sixty feet of oiled cambric hose, four inches in diameter, one end of which was attached to the gas main in West King street, Mayors Office, and the other to the mouth of the balloon. A crowd at once collected, and Captain Boyle’s Company of Fire Zouaves was de tailed to prevent those having the affair in charge from being interfered with. The inflation commenced about 14 o'clock under the superintendence of the two Pro fessors Wise. A numbor of bags, filled with gravel, were attached to the cords of the netting with which the balloon was cov ered, to prevent its leaving terrafirma be fore its time. As the gas was let into it, it began to expand, and when filled present ed tho appearance of a great top, towering 35 or 40 feet high, and swayed to and fro by the slight current of air that was blowing at the time. The balloon is said to bold about 20,000 cubio feet of gas, and about three hours were occupied in inflating it. About 4 o’clock, Mrs. Wise, wife of the aeronaut appeared on the ground, dressed in a neat, ligtt-striped alpaca, a jaunty little bonnet on her head, a zephyr shawl thrown across her arm, and a small silk American flag in her hand, about 3 feet in length, bearing the following inscription: “This Flag has accompanied 239 terial voy ages— has traveled in the air over 11,000 ml les —has been constantly the harbinger of eood fortune—and no serious accident ever occurred while It was present.” Mrs. Wise is a good-looking, medium sized lady, about 23 years old. She has dark hair and eyes, and a pleasant expres sion of countenance; was entirely self possessed, and conversed vivaciously with her friends, as she took a seat ip the shadow of the balloon, which at the time she ar rived on the ground was towering some forty feet in height. She had with her her two little boys, aged 5 and 8 years respec tively. They played around the great air ship as happy as “petrels in a storm,” until their mother informed them that they were not to go along. Then there was grief and bitter tears of disappointment, and they refused to be comforted. At last an idea seemed to strike the 5 year old, and he whispered to his brother, “ When ze balloon goes up, I’ll tatoh hold ze basket, and zen when I'seaway up, pap will be afeard to frow me out.” It was not generally known until Mrs Wise appeared in the Square, that she in* tended to accompany her husband, as Mr. Wise bad advertised the seat for sale to the highest bidder, and it was supposed he would find a inale purchaser; but appli cants either lacked the nerve to go up or the stamps to put down, and Mr. "WiE© wisely concluded to take with him his bet ter half. The report of this arrangement Bpread rapidly, and in a short time Centre Square was a perfect hive of jostling, sway ing, sweating and swearing humauity. It was almost impossible for the military, the Mayor and the police to keep cleur a space arouud the balloon sufficiently large to allow those haying it iii charge to peiform their work ; and on two or three oem -i.jns there were altercations that threatened tiouble. Luckily they passed oil, and the aeronaut and his experienced father lost no time in attaching the basket, storing it with a few refreshments, and placing the cords in the hands of trusty men prep aratory to a start. Mrs. Wise stepped lightly into (be basket and took a seat. Her husband followed.— For a momen t there was a dend silence. Five thousand eyes in tho .crowded; square, the surrounding windows, steeples and house tops, were riveted to a common focus. The word “go” was given and the huge thing rose lazily and nlmomt perpendicularly un til above the roof of the Athenreum, -when, saluted by a perfect hurricane of shouts and cheers, it drifted gradually and grandly to the northwest. gNotwitbstandtng tho fact that this was Mrs. Wise’s first ascen sion, and that she had witnessed but one ascension before, she was perfectly calm and collected waving first her handker chief and then the flag to the applauding multitude below, while Mr. Wise, standing upright in the basket waved his hat, ana showered down thousands of cards and handbills vdiicb some of our sharp adver tisers had furnished him for the occasion. It was a rare sight to see it soaring higher and higher—diminishing in size as it re ceded—looking almost transparent as the sun Bbone on it—and dark again as the shadow of a cloud was thrown against it. A nd it was almost as grand a sight to look from our elevated position of observation down upon the sea of upturned faces in the Square—every bead thrown back at the same angle, and every eye unmovabiy bent on the same object! What a picture it would have made 1 The balloon remained in sight about fif teen minutes, when it disappeared among the clouds to the northwest, much to the regret of the spectators; but in a few min utes more it reappeared, and was welcomed by another volley of cheers. It seemed to be then moving nearly north, and Bbortly afterwards to take an easterly direction. It soon hid itself again, however, and reap peared and disappeared several times.— About 15 minutes before 5 o’clock it showed itself very plainly and looked entirely sta tionary, due northwest, with a fine back ground of silver topped clouds. It remained thus till about 5 o’clock, when it was again hidden by a bank of cloud that intervened between it and our yiew, but in a few min utes it arose above the cloud and_ seemed to be reposing exactly on its summit, and then to gradually sink down into it, becom ing less and less distinct until it finally dis appeared, as though “its grave was dug among the dismal clouds.” The steeples, houso-tops and window* were soon deserted and by half-past 5 o’clock Centro Square had assumed its usual Saturday evening appearance. On inquiry ut the telegraph office soon afterwards it was ascertained that the teronauts had safely landed about 54 o’clock, on the farm of J. Hoffman Hershey, on the Harrisburg pike, one mile west of Saluoga, and about nine miles north of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Wise, and the balloon, were brought home in a wagofi by Mr. Carper, arriving'about half-past ten o’clock. The balloon was made on a Wheeler A Wilson lock-stitch sewing machine, Mr. Joseph Blaschock, manager of the Com pany having gratuitously done all the sewing, at his office No. 04 North Queen street. Prof. Wise pronouncoa the stitch ing to be perfect in every respect. Four hundred and fifty yards of fino cambric were used in iU construction. It was first cut into 30 gores, each gore measuring 224 yards in length; then sewed in sections of 6 gores, before oiling and varnishing; after which;the,6 large sections were sewed to gether on the machine to complete the form of the balloon. 17,390 stitches were used for one seam of 224 yards. /40,000 stitches were used ior tho entire. The balloon took 40 hours to sew, and some of the seams of yards were sewed in 10 minutos. If the gores were laid by lengths, the material would extend over one-half mile. STATEMENT OF MRS. LOUISA WISE. Messrs. Editors : I am not an advocate of Woman’s Rights in the modern accepta tion of the term, but have nevertheless a notion that a lady mightjtake a ride through the ethereal regions of space without sin* ning against the proprieties of her sex, or in the least infringing upon the good order of a “time for all things and believing thatjthe proper time had come to gratify my woman’s curiosity upon this subject of an ferial voyage, when my husband announced that he would sell the vacant Beat in his balloon chariot, “Jupiter,” I accordingly resolved to be the highest bidder, though it should be a thousand dollars; when he very gravely suggested to me about the pay, hav ing, as he said, two cash offers of fifty dol lars each, I told him mine was a hundred dollars—paid in advance, by numerous charges against him for darning stockings and sewing on bis buttons for ten years past. From this he made no appeal, but said, “all right, you shall go.” ADd now, Messrs. Editors, through the medium of your paper, I will tell my lady friends, as well as I can, how I did go. At 10 minutes past 4 o’clock last Saturday afternoon, Jupiter being inflat ed, I stepped into the wicker-car thereto attached, and with a throb of delight loom ed up and over the centre of the city. The multitude below, with upturned faces—the rattling sound of martial music—the shoots of applause—and the earth with all this life, gradually sinking down—down—still deep er down, excited me very much, and I in voluntarily began to wave my ’kerchief in response to the happy salutations of my good friends below. My husband handed me the talismanic flag to wave, while he would throw overboard ballast composed of bundles of business circalars, and up, up we went at a glorious rate. My replies to his questions for awhile were only— “ Splendid ! splendid !” My heart was palpitating with joy over the beau ties spread out beneath and around, so that I could do nothing bat gaze upon the grand scene before me.— When we got beyond the built-up part of the city, I ventured my head through the barrier of ropes to look straight down, and beneath I spied what seemed a nice little Christmas garden, with little buildings in the middle, which my husband told me was Franklin and Marshall College, and j ust at this moment a milk-like vapor rush ed down before and underneath us, entire- : ly obscuring the world below. All at once my joy and observation changed to a feel ing of amazement —amazement most pro found. Oh, what a solemn silence sur rounded ns. It was an awfully mysterious thing to me how this heavenly curtain of dew drops could so suddenly wrap itself all around us. The big, puffed-up globe above oar beads, scarcely visible,.seemed to tend and stagger with tbls load of vapor welgh iDg.apon.JV Presently a cheerful, mellow glfiqmer d£ I!£M qbme from above, 'which cheered ns again into conversation. Here threw'overboard a considerable handle. of business cards, and aa they scattered through this Illuminated olond, they crackled like little torpedoas, I wondered what caused It. Hr. W. said: “It sounds like electric sparks.” As they floated leisurely about they shone like silver and gold. Presently we came out at the top of this cloud, and hore again came a new scene. How beautifully strange up here—great big masses of white, eoft looking, fleecy clouds below. Oh, they looked as soft and silky as the finest down, and they rolled about, as It were, in a wan ton voluptuousness. "Bat, where are we now?? I inquired; "I can't seethe world— we are entirely partitioned o£T; how will we §ot down?” Sir. W. said—“l will take you own now; but before.we go, let us eat a bite of our provisions, kindly furnished us by our friend, John Bides.” "No, indeed,” said 1, "this is-a feast of reason; I can only feast with my eyes.” But, to please him. I ato a few grapes off a bunch placed in the car by John Adams, which he was devour jog with a gusto that indicated a keen ap* petite, as he also cot out of the basket a roasted fowl to regale himself with. While In this solemn stillness I was sud denly startled. "Oh, what was that ?” Mr. W. said, "I let off Borne gas to go down.”— When the valve snapped shut, it cracked llko a gun and made me tremble for a mo ment—lt made such a strange uoiso up there. How we gently and softly sunk down through this fleecy bed below ; In Its midst it was more dark this time, and aa we came out gradually below, I saw the city as* behind a thin gossamer curtain, and the clattering of iroa wheels, and puffing of steam engines, and ringing of dells, contrasting strangely with the bright silent world above the clouds. Here we could see the beautiful Susque hanna, and here and there a village peer ing from behind a dark oloud, and the peo* Ele below hallooing all around us ; and I eard a voice distinctly cry, “Charley, come down—come down—come down.” We repeated these cloud scenes five or six times, going up and down, and I was almost led to Delieve that when we shall change from mortality to immortality, it will be our happy destiny to soar through the realms of apace, visiting on spiritual wing, this globe and that globe; for the good book tells us that, "in my Father’s house there are many mansions,” and I verily felt when I was away up above the clouds, that* I was in the house of God—it was so solemnly grand and sublime. I shall dream of this all my lifetime. I can now hardly realize It —it seems to me more like the shadow of a vision—a trance than n positive thing. I don’tltblnk any body could mako such an adventure with out becoming better, and particularly grate ful to the Creator for the privileges he has granted us. We landed safely one hour and ten min utes after wo left the earth on the farm of Mr. Hoffman Hershey, about!) milesnorth west of the city. Mr. John Herr invited us to his house, where we took supper. Louisa Wise Lancaster, Sept. 20, ISG9. STATEMENT OF MR. CHARLES E. WISE Messrs. Editors: Inasmuch as Mrs. Wise relates the principal features of our rorial trip on Saturday last, tbere'seems to bo nothing left for me to say, but to return a grateful acknowledgment to my numer ous mends for their subscription towards getting the matter up. I also return my speciaTthanks to the corporate authorities fortheuseof the Square ; to Captain Boyle’s Fire Zouaves for keeping open the space allotted to tho ascension, and to my friend! "Mlshler, Sides, Reynolds and Adams, foi their generous supply of fruits, meats anc viands to support the Inner man during the trip ; to Mr. Hugh Cochran, Superintendent of the Gas Works, for the facilities afforded in promptly having the Balloon filled ; and finally, to Mr. and Mrs, John F. Herr for their hospitality when we landed. Chas. E. Wise. The Agricultural Fair.— We hopo tho coming Agricultural Fair may turn out . to be a splendid success. This greatcounty, | tho very garden spot of tho United Stales,] ought to get up a magnificent exhibition of j its varied agricultural productions. We . fear, however, that the managers are mak ing one great mistake, Up to this time thoy have not advertised their premium list in any newspaper in tho county. The result will be that comparatively lew people will see the bills which they areclrculating. The only way to roach the people in theso days is through the newspaper press. If tne comiDg exhibition should disappoint tho managers they will know the reason of their failure. It is certain that the total of their roceipts will be much smaller than It would be if they should advertise their premium list in tho different newspapers of the county. It is done overywhero e.so throughout this and other States. L/IST OF JURORS to serve in un Adjourned Court of Common Pleas fsr Lancaster coun ty, commencing on Monday, tho iSth of October, 1869: Wm.

Mr. Shoff has been a subscriber to the Intelligencer both Daily and Weekly for many years. Run Over.—A small child of Mr. Benja min Markley, who resides about a half a mile from Conestoga Centre, this county, was driven over with a wagon ou Friday last. The child is only about a year old, and was lying on its face lengthwise in the wheel track, unobserved by the driver of the wagon until he heard it scream, as the front wheel ofthe wagon passed over it. A physician was called, who attended to the child’s injuries. No bones were broken, but the child was considerably bruised about the body and one of its legs. Accident. —Mr. John Shank, who re sides near Conestoga Centre, fell from the over-mow of his barn to the floor below, Saturday last, thereby causing a fracture of the thigh a little below the joint. Dr. B, S. Kendlg set the broken limb. Daring Robbery.—The Oxford Press states that on the night of the 2d inst. the bonse of James and Sally Porter, in Fulton township, this county, was entered by thieves, who stole all the canned fruit they found, together with several pounds of but ter.

The Storm—Numerous Barns avo Houses Struck by Lightning.—' The storm of Friday did. considerable dam age throughout the oounty, and the light nTog struck numerous houses and barns. We nave already learned of the following catastrophes: The barn of Mr t Jacob M.&Huber, be tween Landiaville and Rohrerstown was struck by lightning,|and entirely destroy ed, with all its contents, and a large quan tity of agricultural implements, and one cow The barn of Mr. Bruckhart, on the road leading from fiftinnga to«{Harlett& was struck and destroyed, the entire crop of grain and hay being oonaumed, The stook was all saved except one cow. At Salunga the.lightning struck the new building of Mr. Brenneman, but did little damage, being carried principally to the ground by rod. Both the house and barn of Beoj. Ritter, 1 mile below Lltiz was struck, and the lightning rods torn off, but no other dam age done. The barn of Samuel Groff, on the Man belm road, 6 mllesjnorth of Lancaster was struck, but not; much*!damage was done, the principal portion of the fluid descend ing the rod, and the balance descending the spouting which was <»naiderably torn. A cow on the farm of Mr. Goohanaur, near Salunga, was struck by lightning and killed, while standing in a field under a tree. A rolling mill in Columbia was struck, and one man severely stunned. Tbe barn of John Kuhns, near Maytown, was struck by lightning and burned down, and also another building a few rods dis tant. There was a lightning rod erected between the two buildings, Mr. Lougenecker’s barn, near Elizabeth town, was also burnt, but we havejreceived no particulars. The lightning struck five times within tbe borough of Mt. Jov, but we have heard of no serious damage being done. Along the railroad there have been nu merous slides and washings caused by tbe heavy rain, but not sufficient to interfere with railroad travol. The Marietlian states that a violent hail and rain storm passed over the borough of Marietta yesterday. The run at Kline’s tanyard was very high, the water complete ly covering the turnpike, and all the cross ings oyer the streets running north and South were Impassable for an hour or two. The barn on the McCormick farm, on the Lancaster turnpike, adjoining and Just east of Marietta was struck by bghtniDg and with all its contents burned. This will be severe on George Hippie, the tenant, who was stuuned and knocked down, but soon aftor recovering, he succeeded in getting all the live stock, except one calf, from the burning building; all of bis grain was con sumed with the barn. Another barn on the farm of Mr. Kuhns near Maytown shared tbe same fate—the barn with all its contents being destroyed. Tbe noon mail train was detained over an hour at Musselman’s furnace in conse quence of the rain Hooding Ihe road with so much mud that the engiue run off the traok. A horse attached to a buggy stand ing in front of Dr. Landis’ office, became frightened at a clap of thnnder that he fell over, breaking a sdaft, and upon getting up a flash of lightning started him off without the buggy ; he was, however, soon after re covered, with a portion of the harness still cliuging to him.

Beamer called on Mr Jame 3 Coleman, residing below Altoona, and explaining to him the advantage and Import ance of Life Insurance, obtained his applica tion for 85000, In the World Mutual Life Insur ance Company, of New York. He was then araongU our strongest and heartiest men,with every prospect of a long life or usefulness before him. He.was 65 years of age, and paid an an nual premium of $237.75. Last April, whllston , the roof of his barn making some repairs, bo j fell from the Bame and broke his leg up at the | thigh, au accident which might happen to our I most careful and healthy citizens. He llnger | ed on In pain and misery until his death, in July last. Mr. Beamer attended at once to making ont;ali the necessary papers of proof of death, and last week had the satisfaction of handing to Messrs. James Louden and Thomas Coleman, his administrators, a draft on New York for the amount of Insurance. Such a striking Illustration of the Importance and value of Life Insurance will do moro than hours of talk to convince any man that it la his duty to take out a policy according to his ' means, for the benefit of his survivors; and in 1 connection, we call especial attention to the I world Muiwa Lia, and to oar fellow-towns- J man, Mr. I, F. Beamer, who is Us agent rortbls i county. Do uotdolay—at onco Insure, and you I will never regret it. We extract the above from the Democratic Standard, of Holldaysburg, and would add our endorsement of the above counsel: "DO NOT DELAY—AT ONCE INSUREI” and state that Maj. J. F.FBUEAUFF, of this city, is the Gen eral Agent for the WORLD MUTUAL LIEE and will be glad to seo all of our patrons at his Oflice, to make Inquiries, and to insure. By the Insurance Commissioners’ Report, of Now York, for this year, the proportions of Assets to the amount insured, and of Aotual Realized Cash Assets to Total Assets of this Company, are belter and higher than any Company of its ase, and also surpasses many much folder I companies.
