e Balloon Adventure- Monck Mason
Owtdone. Mr. Wise, the daring e ronaut,
made perious ascension at Holidays
burgh, Pa, Saturday week, which, for
tunately for him, resulted only in the loss
of his new and beautiful balloon, and in
his receiving few trifing bruises. Be-
fore starting, the wind being very high,
it was discovered that the network was
fast giving way, about the top OF the ball
loon. Nothing daunted, however, by
this unlucky circumstance, the nronaut
stepped into the car, and assembled rapid
y, bulb as large as hogshead pro-
,ruding through the netting. On reach
ing an altitude of about 1000 feet, he en-.
countered a severe gale from the west,
which tossed The balloon to and fro, with
g.eat violence, increasing the rupture in
the netting at every surge. At this crisis
an expeditnt flashed across his mind. He
threw his whole weight upon the valve
rope, which soon brought The balloon TO
the ground. After bounding abou! for
some distance it was driven into the top
of high tree, in piece of woodland,
where Mr. Wise becoming released from
the car, was glad to part from his eral
companion, which dashed out of sight in
few moments. The Ca'skiIl N. Y. Re-
corder says that the balloon aIighted on
the premises of the Rev. j. p Van Val
kenburg, near that place, on Saturday
evening. A paper attached to he car had
Mr.. Wise's name written on it.
