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.

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..

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

and the drayman embracing the mule iu

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

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

Ring Worm.
This disagreeable affection may be easi
ly and speedily cured as follows : Upon
retiring at night apply a poultice of damp

indications of a cure having been effected,
apply again, and the eruption will speedily

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

Pistego are threatened with de'structiou.
Fires are now ragiog over three thousand

, About two hundred families arc burned'

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

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

burned in the street. It is difficult to
classify the Eagle politically, as in the
number sent us one column contains at

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

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
