A Terrible Balloon Voyage Across
the Irish Channel.
Mr riaflacm .-wtdTihe Irinh papers the
blowing account of a trip from Dublm to
Westmoreland, England, in a balloon :
t4 'lhe balloon amended at 4:40, and took
a northerly direction to Clontarf, where'it
was my intention to descend ; but from the
vefcx-ity the balloon was traveling at, I pcr
oeivc-d it «r»* folly to try. In half a minnte
I was over the muddy staand between Clon,
t arf and Howth, where another attempt was
made to Und ; but befor. the balloon de
scended one hundred feet it was drivan be
tween Ilowth and Ireland's Eye. It new
became evident to me that landing in Ire
land was out of the question, and that all
arrangements must be made to be driven |
either to Wales or Lancashire. The first
thing that struck me was to drop.the grap
nel to its full extent"-one hundred and .
twenty feet. This acted as a guide to the
distance the balloon might be kept above
the surface of the water, it being now dark ;
and by placing one hand on the rope, the
effect of the grapnel striking the water was
distinctly felt. With an open bag of bal
last on my knee, every time the grapnel
struck the water, a couple of handaful of
sand were thrown out; and to th.s plan alone
I owe my own preservation and success. 1 he
ballast taken wa. about thirty-fire stone.
« Jor three hours this plan was earned
out, and then came on the most blinding
»nd merciless rain I ever saw or felt. I
could not see fifteen feet before me. and the
noise of the rain on the balloon and the wa
ter was such as to entirely unnerve me. My
bands became numb, and I was drenched to_
the skin. I now began to perceive my po
sition more acutely. However, I determined
I would not give up until all the ballast and
moveables were gone. The rain mode the
balloon heavier every moment, and the bal
last was thrown out more freely untill ahout
ten o'clock, when the fatigue overcame me
and I fell into ft stupor for a few moments.
By this time the balloon had descended
within sis feot of the water, and instantly
out v/ent 128 lbs of ballast. The effect of
this was that the balloon rose to an altitude
of a mile entirely through the rain clouds,
and there the moon shone brilliantly ; and
in this position it remained about a quarter
of an hour. The effect of the moon shining
on the clouds beneath was such as any art
ist might be proud of. The shadow of the
balloon was distinctly to be seen traveling
over the rough and uneven elouds, giving
the idea of a baloon race. Everything now
became calm; no longer the hnm of the
ocean or the rain—all was still. But, wheth
er the sea still raged beneath was unknown:
"As the ballooc descended,it was evident J
a great change had ccme over the scene - the
rain had sensed, and the appearance of eve
TyttrfnK was of the darkest hue—whether it
was an under strattum of dark clouds could
not be known. Suddenly a glimmer of light
was seen for a moment*, tlicu with apxious
eyes cast downward to perceive any object,
nt last small squares with daikei margins
were clearly visible. This proved to be
fields and hedges, and they appeared to van
ish as quickly as objects passed when in a
mail train. A town, afterward proved to be
Appleby, -was at last seen, and tlie sound of
musical instruments heard. I then called
out to know where I was, but tho reply was
unintelligible. They however, saw it was a
balloon.
"About two miles further on the grapnel
caught in a large oak tree and held fast.
This afterward proved to be Dagla Wood.
Rufton, near Apploby, Westmoreland. I
then called out lustily, and sounds of per
sons singing and playing mußic reached me.
These proved to be four young men coming
from Appleby, where they had been to a
ball. They were natives of Dufton, and as
they advanced nearer their native ullage
they heard my voice.
" One of them, more bold than the res',
was sent forward to see if it was really a
'bogle,' as they had heard of su'-h things
before. However, their fears were soon dis
pelled when the replies to their questions
irere answered satisfactorily. They at once
set to work to pull the balloon out of th»
wood, and convey it to a field whete it could
be folded up. It was then three o'clock in
the morninfh Those joung mu'ician* af
torwari played a tune to the village: and
many were the heads out of windows to in
quire the reason of such an unusual pro
ceeding. When it became known that a
balloon had come from Dublin! hundreds
cume as early as five o'olock to see it, and
many were the inquires a« to hew a man
could come from Dublin in ' sio a thing as
that.' 1, however, shall never forp-t their
kindness . many were the breakfasts pre
pared for me, and I was positively pressed
to eat two. All wished me loni; life and
prosperity at parting, and hoped if ever I
came that way again to give them a call "
IN the Suprene Court of the Uni
ted States it seems to have been eet
tied that the United States notes of
the precise number of dollars con
tracted to be paid for in gold will
settle a debt incurred before the FUS
pension of specie payments in Janu
ary, 1861. The suit of Thompson
ngnicst Riggs, just decided at Wash
ington, was to recO' er a coin
it. The defendant was discharged
-upon the payment of an equal amount
in Treasury notes. A special con
tract to repay in gold was not proved
in the case before the Court, although
it was assumed that such was the cus
tom when gold deposits were made.
THI world is full of trials and annoy
JMICM, and will be to the end. But a bet
ter world is coining, where there will bo
no more trials,no more sin forever. IF we
would obtain an iuiieritance in tlat world
we must learn to haie meekly and pati
v ently the trials of thin. That inheritance
is promised only to the overcomes. Let
us, then, try to pray, and keep trying and
praying that God will help us to overcome.
Why are young ladies kissing
each other like an emblem of Chris
tioanity? Bocause they aro doing uu
to each other as they would that

HUMOR DOCTOR,
A Positive Remedy tor all Kinds oi Humors,
PAITIOOUUr
ERYSIPELAS, NETTLK RASH, SALT RHEUM,
SCROFULA, CARBUNCLES, BOILS AND PILES
It is very gratifying to say of this, or of any other
medicine, 4 It is the very best remedy known.* It Is
not always so easy t • prove it. It Is. however, exceed
ingly gratifying to the Proprietor of this medicine, that
while he declares to the public that this is a most won
derful and effective specific for Hunters. as stated ah »ve,
he has abnndant proof a hand to sustain his statement
Fot plxteen years the llumor Doctor has been manu
factured and Sold, and every year has increased the
value of its reputation and the amount of Its sales.—
In New Hampshire. *here it originated, no remedy for
humors Is eo highly prised. An eminent physician
(now an army surgeon; when practising in New Hamp
shire, purchased between 11 ftv and sixty gall ins of it
during some seven or eight years ami used it In hla
practice. He has siAce then ordered it for the Hospi
tal where he was stationed Other physicians have
ordered it, and have used it in practice with great suc
cess When the i roprletor lived in New Hampshire, at
Gofhitown Center, for the space of thirty or forty miles
around, and iu Manchester particularly, the Humor
Doctor was well kaown and highly valued for the nu
meroua and wonderful cures which it directed. Though
manufactured in large quantities* tlie supply was Ire
quently exhausted, and purchasers had to wait far more
to be made. In that region some very severe cases of
Krysipela* were treated with—and they wete cured.—
Erysipelas sores, or carbuncles, thoae ugly, painful ul
cers. were entirely removed wherever this medicine was
faithfully used. So it was with Scrofhlaand Salt Rheum.
Tlie llninor Doctor cured thert.
For the sake of showing what Is thought of R, a few
testimonials are here inserted:
Millen Gale, Esq., Boston, 9laea.
I hereby certify that I was sorely aflilcted with boils
fbr two years, developing themselves on my li»bs and
other pait* of my l*,dy. The sufferings which I en
< dured from them are indescribable. Suffice It to say
that I faithfully tried several of the moat popnlar ha
mor remedies, hut withont removing the aflllrtioa At
Irngth. by the earnest request of en intimate friend, I
was induced to try Dr. J . W. Poland's llumor Doctor,
and am very happy to attest that all my boiU were re
moved, and my health waa restored by using Dr. Po

I very confidently and earneetly recommend Dr. J

My own case was a very severe and obetloate one For
more than two years the skin upon the Ineide ef betb
my hands, and even down to my wriet. was constant! y
cracked and broken up, so that I was unable to **•
my hands in any kinds of wat work, and was
obliged to weer gloves in sewing *> avoid getting blood
npoti my work. The humor which eo afflicted i«e was
probably a combination of Eryaipelae and Call Rheum.
My general heelth was quite peor. Soon after I began
to use the Humor Doctor I could perceive signs of heal
