Tkere could have been no motive in cutting the balloon,l and if there bad been, no one would have dared to do so, in the foci of a crowd.. Another excuse offered by Mr. Wise, was, that the sum of 'money agreed on, had not been raised, to pay him, •This excuse, is swept away by the fact, that he had already received $lOB, and that Mr.lienry Glass of fered him a cheek for whatever balance .he claimed, provided he would. postpone the as cension, until'SatUrday, and make it from the Fair ground. To this proposition Mr. Wise made no satisfactory, answer, and left town next mornitiiiiiithe early train.
