Oil timeS.--A celebrated divine Of
punning memory, occasionally made a
very good play upon words. One of bis
happiest was the following, which is
deemed worth preserving-In front Of bis
dwelling house there was slough in the
street, which he had frequently urged
the Selectmen TO fill up and render passs-
Die IN wet weather. They, however,
neglected it, till one day returning in a
carriage from the country, their wheels
settled down 10 the deepest part OF il, and
they were obliged TO alight and wade out.
Our divine spied iheW, and fastening to
the spot, addressed them as follows /:
" Gentlemen, have long been exhorting
you to mend your mays, and am extremely
reJoiced, at last to see you stirring IN this
mailer Kaleidoscope.

LAMENTABLE CATASTROPHE.

LAMENTABLE CATAsTRoPEE.
Yesterday afternoon. agreeably to pub
lie notice, which stated that the Balloon,
under the direction of Mr.. Michel, would
ascend from Vauxhall Garden. between
the hours of and O'Clock in the alter
noon, at least 81, 900 of the inhabitants oil
this city assembled TO witness the novel
spectacle. They had previously been
twice hoaxed with the Camden exhibition,
but the general belief was, that Mr.. MI
CHEFS Balloon would really ascend. Ac-
eoraingly, they waited with patience the
whole afternoon, in very hot sun, ex-
meeting every moment, the desired as
cension. But un-dowD came, ami the
Balloon, heldby the cords, scarcely reach
Ell The tops Of the trees, having an undu-
Iatory motion. At this monsnt all was
quiet, and many people, regretting the
disappointment, began to leave the ground.
On a sudden, violent rush from the
crowd near the garden took place, and
the people seeing the Balloon sinking, be-
gan rapidly to disperse, and take their
way home, unconscious of the scene that
was then occurring, and believing that The
as,sncion had been then abandoned.
For what followed, We have only the
npor,s Of the evening.
II is stated. that at the time above men
TONED. latter sun-setting) boy about l6
wears old ciimaed to the top OF the fence
and probably irritated by disappo nfment'
struck a man inside with large stick
Wi i,b was handed to him by some person
without After giving the blow, the boy
dropped the stick, and jumped down.
The man who was struck seized the stick
and in, the paroxysm of the moment, there
being two sman boys who had crawled
upnn he fence, struck one of them vlo-
Rent blow, which caused his immediate
death. Upon this, the Flag Staff was In
st,u,ly torn down and converted into
Ba,tering Ram. the fence being double
fortified one. A breach being effected, the
crowd rushed in. tore the Balloon to al
tons, and, in their rage, demolished the
whole of the premises, including the Pavii'
lion. the benches, fences. &c. which were
set Oh FIRE, and yaaxhaH Garden is now q
heap of ruins.
The 6rst intimation we had of this dire
after-piece, was the cry of fire, and the
light which illuminated the city, from suct
a mass of comhustibcs.
We are fearful that more .ban one dealt
has 0Gsprrst,
