AIVOTYIER FATAL BALLOON ASCENT.

iIILTON, NEAR BANBURY, OCTOBER 6.

We copy the following from the Oxford Journal of
this day :—" As the shepherd of Mr. Cox, of Milton,
was this morning going his usual rounds over his mas-
ter's farm, he perceived something at a distance, which
appeared to him to be some cows lying together, but
which, on a nearer approach, proved to be a balloon,
containing in its car the lifeless body of a man. He
immediately ran back. to the village to procure assist-
ance, and had the body removed to the Black Boy pub-
lic-house, where it still remains.—The deceased appears
to be about twenty-five years of age.
"On examination, the skull was found to be fractured
and the right arm broken. On his person were some
papers, and a bill of fare bearing the name of
slimy, Crown and Anchor Inn, Northampton,' whither
a messenger has been sent in hopes of obtaining some
information of the deceased.—The balloon is in the pos-
session of Mr. Cox, %there numbers from the surround-
, ing villages have already flocked to see it."
