SADDLER THE ERoNAUT. There was some
thing very melancholy in the circumstances attend
ing hlr. Saddler's DEATH His last ascent was made
from Bolton, (Eng.) on the Goth Sept, 1924. The
balloon rose with great velocity, and after con-
siderable flight, Mr. s. attempted to descend a:
Fox Hill Bank, about three miles from Blackburn.
With this view he threw grapple into hedge !;
but as the rope gave way the balloon rebounded
and pitched him with great violence against
neghboring chimney. AT. this moment he was
dangling by the leg from the ropes of the car,
and received many severe Commissions ON the
head aud other parts of the body that he died the
following morning at an early hour. A servant
that accompanied him had nearly shared similar
fate, and what is still remarkable the publi-
can to whose house the Hronaut was carried, and
who Immediately took horse to procure a surgeon,
was SO completely overcome by his feelings and
exertions that he seized with apoplexy, and
expired within few yards of his own door. fatal
accident befel Mr.. Graham few weeks previous
another proof that very few Dronauts die natural
death. The ascent from Bolton was the S0th made
by Mr. Sadder, and most appalling story is record
ed of one of his Dral voyages. On that occasion
the wind carried him into the Irish Channel, and
as he saw no prospect of being picked up at sea,
he parted with nearly half his ballast husbanded
his gas to the utmost extent, and determined to
cross TO the sister kingdom. While thus situated
his air ship thus to speak, sprunga-leak and as he
loresaw what the consequence would be, he actu-
ally left the car assembled the silken shrouds of the
balloon, and 10 that sublimely perilous situation
dangling as it were between heaven and earth
closed a rent through which the gas was escaping
which in the course of very few minutes, would
have precipitated him into the yawning abyss be-

A surgeon, named Desfats, has been tried
and convicted in Paris, and sentenced to FIVE
years Imprisonment and the pillory, for mainl-
ing eonscripts in order to render them unfit for
military service. His manner of doing so, was
to make certain incisions through the fexor
tendons of the fingers, which would prevent
the individuals thus MANNED from pulling the
trigger of musket. He also applied caustic
to tie scrotum, which produced an infiamma-
tory swelling. Surgeons attestcd to these
