Prom die PhiIadelphia American of Yesterday.

RTon the Fhlladelph1a American OF yesterday.
BALLOON ARRIvAL.-Amone the ar
rivals of yesterday was one that created
uncommon excitement among our citizens.
About the hour of six in the evening,
balloon was observed passing over the
city toward Camden, at moderate speed,
and but d short distance from the earth.
Various were the conjectures as to who
was in it, or where it came from, but,
from its tardy movements. all appeared to
conclude that it had nearly tired ia trav-
cling from some distant port. Having
been apprised of Mr.. Paulin's intended
ascension from Reading, yesterday, we
concluded it must be him. and. upon inqui-
ry, found cur conclusions to be correct
lie left Reading at ten minutes before
tour o'clock, yesterday afternoon, and
landed about three-quarters ola mile from
Camden, ~ j., at six O'Clock last evening
having performed the distance. fifty-three
miles, in two hours and ten minutes. He
landed in safety.
Is CLEVELAND A SEAPORT ?'-This
question was put to us few days ago, by
a gentleman recently from England. The
Cleveland Herald of the 9th inst, just
received, enables US to write an answer.
Cleveland is situated on Lake Erie, one
of our inland seas. We spent few DAYS
there last autumn. and thought it one of
the prettiest places within our knowledge
The Herald says that seventy vessels
were then in sight, on the lake. The
same paper of Saturday week mentions
that there were then in port two briggs,
fity-three Schooners, and one sloop; four
large steamboats, from Chicago, one
from Buffalo, and two from Detrolt-be-
sides countless canal boats,' loading and
unloading. We can readily understand
what the editor means by the countless
canal boats for when we were there the
number was SO great, and they were SO
constantly moving about, that we found il
very troublesome and difficult to count
them.-N. Y. Spec.
The WHEAT CRoP.-The prospect Of
heavy crop'of wheat, says the Roches.
ter Daily Democrat, was seldom more
favorable than at the present moment in
Western New York. The fields are
heavily clothed, and present every indca
ton of an abundant harvest. A crop
one-half greater at least, than that Of las
year, may, we think, be confidently anti
cipated.
CoTToN FACTORY AT THE SANDWICH
IsLANDs.-Judge of our surprise at find
| ing at Kailua, cotton factory, with tw,
looms and twenty spindles These looms
were in operation, and great proportion
of the spindles. These were all worket
by hand; the spindles were attended b,
children and small girls. A foreigner, il
whose charge were the looms, told u
that three pieces of cotton cloth had bee
manufactured, in length from Sc 20 a
! yards each; that they were Of good qua
ity, and strong fabric. Of the Two piece
in the looms on the days of our visit:
one was piece of twilIed striped clot
! (the first piece of striped ever made
the factory;) it babe fair to become a
encouraging specimen of the sort of clot
it was made to imitate.-Sandtoich Islam
Gazette.
/ BUTToNs-The Northampton Cour
er 50 ys-"Perhaps Tot one man in thol
sand suspects that almost all the bnttor
which now ornament garments In the [
States, are made in a small village
Hampshire County, Mass. But such
the fact, and it is equally new to US, as
dobtless will be to the reader. Not man
years have elapsed since foreign buttor
were exclusively used in this COUNTRY
More recently sewed buttons were intr,
duced. made up by girls, but these ma,
, been almost entirely superseded by s.
