Balloon Escdpe.-The mystery of the land
ing of ballon in Greene county in this State
is explained in slip we have received from
the Hollidaysburgh pa. paper, from which
we learn that Mr.. Wise, the daring aronaut,
made perilous ascension at that place last
Saturday week, which fortunately for him,
resulted only in the loss of his new and beau
tiful balloon, and in his receiving few tri-
fling bruises. Before starting, the wind being
very high, it was discovered the net work
was fast giving way about the top of the bal
loon. Nothing daunted, however, by this I'M
lucky circumstance, the eronaut stepped in
to the car, and assembled rapidly, bulb as
large as hogshead protruding through the
netting. On reaching an altitude of about
1000 feet, he encountered a severe gale from
the West, which tossed the balloon to and fro,
with great violence, increasing the rupture in
the netting at every surge. At this crisis an ex-
pedient flashed across his mind. He threw his
whole weight upon the valve rope, which
soon brought the ballon to the ground. AZ
ter bounding about for some distance, it was
driven into the top of high tree in piece
of woodland, where Mr.. Wise, becoming re-
leased from the car, was glad to part with his
arial companion, which dashed out Of sight
in few moments.

IA SHARK t'-I had heard and read so ma
ny marvellous stories about the rapacity OF
the shark, that felt somewhat DESTROYS Of an
opportunity Of Judging of the truth of the
yarns with which the sailors entertained US
gaping landsmen. My curiosity was not long
ungratifed. We were within view of the
coast of Madagascar, when it became neces-
sary to take in water to fill empty casks
While Portuguese seamen was employed
in this duty, he unfortunately overbalanced
himself and fell overheard. The sea being
tolerably calm, and the man an excellent
swimmer, no danger was apprehended on his
account. The first mate and four of the crew
prepared to descend to his assistance in the
captains gig, which hung astern but, owing
to the hurry Of the moment, the boat was
carelessly lowered by the run, and the whole
party were immersed. No time was ofcourse
lost in getting out another boat, but before it
could be lowered, the man in the foretop
shouted out" A shark shark make haste
men, for your lives! A general rush was in
stantly made to the sides and bow of the YES
sci, which, by this time, had been put about
and the spars and rigging became also crowd
ed with anxious spectators. A scene of fear
full interest presented itself to our view, and
almost every mans cheek became blanched
with horror. Within about twenty feet of
the first mate, who was swimming towards
the vessel utterly unconscious of the proxim-
ity Of this dangerous neighbor, was an enor-
nous shark, whose extended jaws were alrea-
dy prepared to engulf his unsuspecting vic
tim. On seeing US point at some object be-
hind him, flor hear he could not at the dis
tance,) the latter looked round, and became
paralyzed with terror. The monster was OH
the point Of seizing him, when the second
boat arrived opportunely to his assistance and
picked him up. Cheated of his prey, the
shark made for another of the struggling men
and succeededin laying hold of poor fellow
named Andrews, who could not swim. and
who was supporting himself on hencoop
that had just been thrown overheard to him.
An imploring look and an agonizing scream,
that went to the heart of every one present,
told us all was over with the unfortunate man.:
and the next minute the calm and mirror-hke
surface of the water was crimsoned with
blood. The remainder of the party reached
the boat in safety, but tue fate of their COM
panion, and the narrowness of their own es-
cape, had such an effect upon them that two
of the number were confined to their ham
mocks for nearly ten days after. When the
mate, who happened to be one of them, rose
from his bed, his hair had turned as white as
snow.-Life IN the Ranks.

THE ELECTROMAGNETIC TELE-
GRAPH.

The Baltimore Patriot gives the following
very interesting account of the practical work
ing of this telegraph. The almost absolute
humiliation of time and space, in the trans
mission of intelligence is astonishing, and
must lead to the most remarkable results:
Morse's Electro Magnetic Telegraph, now
connects between the Capitol at Washington
and the Railroad Depot in Pratt, between
Charles and Light streets, Baltimore. The
wires were brought in yesterday from the
outer depot and attached to the Geographic
apparatus in third story room in the depot
warehouse building. The batteries were
charged this morning and the Telegraph put
in full operation, conveying intelligence to
and from the Capitol. A large number of
gentleman were present to see the operations
of this truly astonishing continuance. Many
admitted to the room had their names sent
down, and in less than second the apparatus
in Baltimore was put in operation by the at
tendant in Washington, and before the lapse
of a half minute the same names were re-
turned plainly written. At half-past IL
O'Clock, A. M. the question being asked here,
what the news was at Washington = the an
swer was almost instantaneously returned
wan Buren, sock is rising'-meaning of
course that his chances were strengthening to
receive the nomination on Monday next
The time of day was also enquired for, when
the response was given from the Capitol
'forty-nine minutes past eleven At this
period it was also asked how many persons
were spectators to the Telegraphic expert
ments in Washington THE answer was six
teen.' After which variety of names were
cant mn from Washington some with their
commitments to their friends here, whose
names had Just been transmitted to them
Several items of private intelligence were al
SO transmitted backwards and forwards, one
of which was an order to the agent here not
to pay certain bill. Here, however, the
electric fluid proved too slow, for it had been
paid few minutes before.
At half past ~ O'Clock, the following was
sent to Washington. '.Ask the reporter in
Congress to send despatch to the Baltimore
