An Aeronaut falls from the Height of a Mile His Wife and Daughter wit nesses to the Tragical Scene. Louisville, Oct. 2. At Paoli, Orange county, Indiana, Saturday, Professor Wil bur made arrangements for a balloon ascension. He was to be accompanied by George II. Knapp, editor of the Orange Countv Union. As Ihev were petting v J O C" into the balloon the cords gave way and they made a spring for the car, but only I succeeded in grasping the ropes. As the balloon rose Knapp let go, and fell thirty feet without serious injury. Professor Wilbur held on and attempted to climp into the basket, but(was unable to do so, and the balloon shot upward rapidly with the aacronaut hanging below. The spec tators were thrilled with horror at the terrible scene, which ended in a dreadful manner. At the height of one mile the doomed man let go his hold, and came whirling to the earth. As he approached the earth he was feet foremost : then spread out horizontally; then doubled up, turned over, and then straightened out with his head downward. As he struck the earth he fell upon his head and back. His head was mashed into an indistinguishable mass, and his body was bruised and crushed horribly. His body made an indentation in the ground eight iuches peep, and it rebounded four feet from where it struck The Professor's young wife and little daughter were on the ground and witnessed the horrible affair. The remains of the unfortunate man were properly cared for, and buried at Paoli yesterday afterooou. The Greatest Railroad in the United States. The Pennsylvania Central Railroad uses on the main line, between Philadel phia and Pittsburg, 482 engines, C63 pas senger cars, 6,632 freight cars, 731 coal cars, and 06 baggage, mail and express cars. These are the property of the Penn sylvania Company. In addition to these, there are run on the road 4,877 eight wheeled cars not owned by the company. The road crosses 150 iron bridges, the total leDgtb of which is 13,960 feet; 39 wooden bridges, with a total length of 6,977 feet, and 17 stone bridges of 24 feet span and upward. It penetrates 8 tunnels, the shortest one being 200 feet in length and the longest 3,612 feet. The number of pas sengers carried in 1870 was 4,362,769. The gross amount of tonnage for the same year was 4,472,401 tons. The re ceipts for 1870 were 517,531,706.62, and the expenses $11,260,085.15. The average rate of speed adopted, including stops, for express trains is 23 miles per hour, ordinary passenger trains 20 miles, and freight trains 12 miles. DuriDg the year 2,472,434 miles were run by pas senger trains, 7,712,799 miles by freight and coal trains. Bleeding at the Nose. Some two years ago while going down Broadway, in New York, blood com menced running from my nose quite free ly. I stepped aside and applied my hand kerchief, intending to repair to the near est hotel, when a gentleman accosted me, saying : "Just put a piece of paper in your mouth, chew it rapidly, and it will stop your nose bleeding." Thanking him rather doubtfully, I did as be suggested, and the flow of blood ceased almost im mediately. I have seen the remedy tried since quite freqently, and always with success. Doubtless any substance would answer the same purpose as paper, the stoppage of the flow of blood being caused, no doubt, by the rapid motion of the jaws, and the counter action of the muscles and arteries connecting the jaws and the nose. Physicians say that placing a small roll of paper or muslin above the front teeth, under the upper lip, and pressing hard on the same, will arrest bleeding from the nose checking the passage of blood through the arteries leading through the arteries leading through the nose. Country Gentleman. How we go to Sleep. The order in which the muscles lose their power is worth knowing. The musoles which move the arms and legs usually become relaxed before those which maintain the body in an erect position. In relation to the social senses, that of sight is- first lost, the eyelids forming a barrier between the retina and the exter nal world ; but independently of eyelids if they had been removed by the surgeon, or could not be closed by disease tho sight is still the first sense whose fuDCon is abolished. Some animals, as the hare, do not shut their eyes when asleep ; and in cases of somnambulism the eyes re main open, although the sense of sight is temporarily lost. The other senses, are not altogether abolished ; but their actuet ness is much lessened. Taste is the first to disappear, sod then smell ; hearing fol lows, and touch is the most persistent of the senses. So, conversely, a person is most easily awakened by the sense , of touch ; next in order by sounds, and then by smell.. At a meeting of the Trustees of Lafa yette College, at Easton, last Wednesday, Mr. A. Pardee, of Ilarelton, gave $200, 000 for the erection of a new building for the scientific department, the Trustees agreeing to raise an equal amount fur the general endowment. A Hard Customer. "Faith, an' have ye iver a Ietther for me, yer honor ?" "What name ?" asked the urbane offi cial. ' - "Why, me own name, ut course. Whose else V ' "What is your name 7" continued the official, still urbane. "Faith, an it was me father's afore me; an' would be yet, but he's gone dead." "Confound you, what do you call your self." "Bcdad," said Pat firmly, "I call my self a gentleman ; and its a pity there ain't a couple uv us." "Stand back," commanded the official with dignity. "The devil aback I'll stand ontil I gets my Ietther." "How can I give it to you if you won't tell me who you are,' you stupid, thick headed bogtrotter." "An' is that what you're paid for abusin' honesX people that cumes for their rights! Give me the Ietther, or, be the whiskers of Kate Kearney's cat, I'll git me papers. "You blockhead," brokein the now really angry clerk, "can't you tell me how your letter is addressed V "Dressed ? How should it be dressed, barrin on a sheet of paper, like any other ! Come, hand me avic." "The deuce take you ! won't you tell me who you are ?" "Faith I'm an Irishman bred and born, seed, breed and generation. Me father was a cousin to one eyed Harry Mawra, the process sarve, au' me moother be longed to the Moooeys of Kilmathouad. You're an ignorant old disciple ; an' ev you'l only creep out of yer hole, I'll welt yer hide like a new shoe. An' av ye get any satisfaction out of me, me name s not Barney O'Flynn." "Oh, that's your name, is it ?', said the satisfied official, seizing and shuffling a pile of letters. "There s your letter. Amusing Incident. As a drayman was furiously beating his lank, half-starved mule, near the Govern ment Square, Havana, he was astonished to hear the animal exclaim : "Enough ! you brute !" The drayman looked aghast, and reach ed under his dray and around his mule to find the origin of this sepulchral voice, when again he was horrified to hear from the animal, to all appearances : "You are a brute 1" The drayman was dumbfounded, and trembled like an aspen leaf, and dropped his whip as if 6tuug by an addor. He blessed himself, and was about falling on his knees, when be again heard : "I was your mother once upon a time." This capped tne climax, and a gentle men in the crowd that had gathered around endeavored to explain to the terror-strick en drayman that sometimes disembodied spirits return to the world in the form of animals. J us. at mis moment oignor Blitz, accompanied by his two friends, who had been looking upon the strange scene and enjoying the fun, adjourned to the Union Coffee House, on the neighbor ing corner, and left the crowd endeavor ing to induce the auimal to speak again and the drayman embracing the mule iu the most filiar" manner. The names on the registers of the Sara toga hotels, says she Saratogian; are quite a study. By careful attention it will be noticed that, on an average, per sons hailing 'from various sections of.fche country, differ in the style of penman ship. New Yorkers are the best penman; Philadclphians affect the back-slope a good deal ; Bostonians write a Declara tion of Independence band, not very le gible; Southerners don't swing so care less a quill generally as their Northern brethren ; Chicagoans opparently try to see how gracefully and unintelligibly they can pen their autographs; while Cincin natians and Western men generally, write a good deal as they build cities, in hurry; Albanians and Trojans are among the poorest writers, but they excel the West Trojan, whose style' is barely above "his mark ;" those from the smaller towns take more pains and separate their letters ac cording to rule, and then spoil their work by a flourish or an insane capital, like a mile post' in their name ; Cubans and Spaniards wrote a delicate hand, similar to a lady's, but not clear always to the common Yankee perception! Canadians and Europeans adhere to the old-fashioned style, and take it for granted that everybody should know how to make "Brown" out of "Smith." Great Shaking Along the Susquehanna. Fever and ague along the Susquehanna rirer U unusually prevalent " this fall, thousands of peoplo being afflicted with it in the different towns from Middletown to Milton. .There aro 500 cases in Sun bury and 300 in Northumberland. In Miltou on Sunday last, one physician is said to have visited 90 petieuts down with the disease. Ague also prevails to a cer tain extent in Ilarrisburg. At Baldwin, a few miles below Ilarrisburg,' nearly one half of the employees of the steel works, numbering over 100 persons, have been under the influence of the "shakes" for the past few weeks. . Abraham Lincoln, .being annoyed on one occasion by a fiddler, who persisted playing in front of his house, sent him out u dollar, with tho message that one scraper was enough at the door. A young lady was lately arrested and brought before a Justice of the Peace in the town of Rochester, Ulster Co., N Y.? for "disturbing mcetiug" in the Port Jackson M. E. Church, "by hugging the boys, and various other misdemeanors.' She was fined 10.000. Ring Worm. This disagreeable affection may be easi ly and speedily cured as follows : Upon retiring at night apply a poultice of damp gunpowder to the part affected. General ly one application is sufficient, but if, on the following night, there are no positive indications of a cure having been effected, apply again, and the eruption will speedily vanish. When the Atlantic Hotel, Cape May was burned on August 20, 1860, a phil adelphian, named Chas. Rubicam, loat a trunk containing $9,000 in currency Months afterwards Mr. McMakin, pro prietor of the new Atlantic Hotel, received a note from an old servant stating thai sho knew all about Mr. llubicam's $9,000 After an easy search two detectives found the woman, who infomred them that a' colored waiter, named R. S. Clarke, had rescued the trunk and its contents from' the flames. Clarke was found on Wednes day a week in the employ of the Broad- head House, at the Delaware ater Gap. He denied that he intended to steal the' money, and asserted that he bad invested it in houses in Philahelphia, which he' was willing to turn over to the equitable' owner. Accordingly a few days ago the' ,deed was made, and the property con veyed to Mr. Rubicau. The following hint upon the subject' of gathering aud keepiog apples may bo' of service at this time : As the method to be given has proved' good with me, it is commended with confi dence to all : Gather or harvest the fruis' a week or ten days in advance of the usu al time, and place it in a moderately cool place, where tbc temperature ranges from 50 to 60, aod let it rewaia undisturbed' for two, or even three weeks, abd at any time after the "sweating" is" over care fully assort the fruit, and select the best specimens for preservation. Wrap each' apple in thin or ue-wspaper, and pack in' an air-tight box, which can be so made' by covering any moderately tight box on' the out or Dside with paper. Put on th6 cover, aod place tie box' in a dry place beyond the reach of frost'aud apple-loving children, and ysm can have Baldwins, russets, or any good' keeping varieties of apples the following July and August. Three Thousand Square Miles of Fire. Milwaukee. Oct. 4. A specical des patch to the "News" from Green Bay says the fires in the woods between there and Michigan have extended across Fox river and burned a strip thirty miles wide in Shawano aud Oconto counties. The large lumbering towns of Marinette anil Pistego are threatened with de'structiou. Fires are now ragiog over three thousand square miles of territory. , About two hundred families arc burned' out of house and Louie. The refuireetf are in Green Bay. A thousand squaro miles of valuable fine- forests have been' destroyed. Bears and other wild beasts' have been driven ia dismay from the'' woods, aod are flying about in every di rection. The entire population are fight ing fires without success. 3Iany people' have been prostrated by the heat. All" supplies of food for men and beivst have? been destroyed, and starvation, during the coming wiuter, stares' shciai'iu thef face. Reported Outrage fa Breaond, Telxas The United States Flag Said;to Hava: been Torn Down and Binned. The Brazos Weekly lltyle, publihed at' Bryan, Texas, in its issue of September1 13, asserts that on Tuesday night of tho previous week the United States flag wa. torn down at a Republican meeting ii Bremond, by the rebel Democracy, and burned in the street. It is difficult to classify the Eagle politically, as in the number sent us one column contains at article strongly Democratic, aud in tho next appears the assertoa quoted above, with comments as follow : "Such an atrocious outrage ought not and will not be permitted to pass unpunish ed. This is an index of the spirit that animates the Democracy, in the pressenfc campaign. This is the spirit that Gover nor Davis foresaw when he issued his election order, so as to nip it in' the bud. This is the spirit that will spes'dily whirl the whole State of Texas iuto a scene of riot and bloodshed, unless it is' crushed at ouce. The protectiug folds of that flag alone is what has sustained and en couraged Southern Republicans in tho advocacy of those principles which are dear to them, and which they know to bo right. If the time has uow C'Xne when rebels can with impunity pull down that flag and tear it assundcr, and bum it in the public street that mouiect Bound the death knell of Republicans ia the South. The eyes of every loyal man in the State (who is aware of the above treasonous proceedings) aro toward- Washington to sec what steps the nation al authoaities will take in the matter.
