GETTING HIGH.-M. Petin, the aronaut pub
fishes in the Bridgeport Standard the following
narrative of his recent balloon ascention at that
place, and his landing on Long Island, from
which we make the following extract:
awe threw out more ballast, and we ascend
ed upward nearly as far as it is possible for hu-
man beings TO exist; we had reached the height
of $4,000 feet. The earth appeared chaos
thermometer at nine degrees below zero. The
cold was intense; n heavy hailstorm held in the
air by power unknown to us, but probably an
electric power, enveloped us in thrilling and
awful manner. Respiration was almost impos-
sible and we could not hear each other speak
One of my companions being benumbed fell in
to a profound sleep. We felt so weak that my
other companions and myself were hardly able
TO open the valve. At last we succeeded in
opening it, and we descended rapidly to an al
titude of $4,000 feet. The imagination of one
exalted to such an extreme height, grows vivid
and warm, as the body becomes dull and chill
ed. For us no reality, no limits were existing.
The dreams of Bernardine and Pierre were re.
allied: universal peace seemed to be on earth,
and the whole globe were United States. But
a strong condensation of the gas brought us
back to the reality of the terrestrial objects, and
we descended to the ground.

A COOP JoKE.--A gentleman at Holly
Springs, Miss, tells in southern paper the fol-
lowing laughable story, ond vouches for its
truth. 1t has taken the starch out of our cheeks
equal to anything we have read lateIy:-
sit appears that widower in that town, of
a somewhat gallant disposition, had been accus-
toned to visit the residence of widow M. wheth-
er to see the amiable widow herself or her lively
daughters, our informant did not know. One
evening he found the family hard at work on
some garments of CLOTH The girls were sew
ing, and the widow was pressing the seams
The widower chung up his hat" as usual, and
took seat by the fire. Just at that momont
it happened that the widow had done with the
pressing iron vulgarly called tailor's goose
She set it down on the hearth, and called to The
negro in loud voice
Jake, Jake come take ont this goose!"
The widower started up with astonishment,
not knowing what to make of this abrubt order.
/" Jake, do you hear me ;" again exclaimed the
widow.
81 beg pardon, Mrs. M.," said the widower,
with visible agitation, but pray don't call Jake.
If you wish me to leave your house. | will go
at once, without the interference of servants -
The ladies roared with laughter, and it took
some moments to explain to the chagrined wild
over his mistake. He has not been known to
visit the widow M. since that memorable eve-
ming

One valley is in the Northern hemisphere, the

The Caribbean Sea and Calf of Mexico are
twin basins. They are seas Mesopotamian and
wholly American. The great equatorial cur
rent having its genesis in the Indian Ocean, and
doubling the cape of Good Hope, sweeps by
the mouth Of the Amazon, and after traversing
both Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, it meets
the Gulf Stream, and places the commercial
outlet of that river almost as much in the Flor
ida pass as in the mouth Of the Mississippi river
itself Two travellers may set out from the
Yucatau pass, one north for the sources of the
Missouri, the other south for the head waters of
the Amazon. If, when the former reaches the
base of the Rocky Mountains, he will cut tree
down and let it fall into the river, so that it will
drift with the current without lodging BY the
way, it will meet in the straits of Florida one
cut and cast into the Amazon by the other trav-
eler, from the sides of the Andes, and foated
down the river in the like manner The natural
route of the drift-wood, from both to the open
sea, is through the Gulf of Mexico, around the
peninsula of Florida and so out into the Atan-
tic through the Gulf Stream. These twin ba-
sins are destined by nature 10 be the greatest
commercial receptaces in the world. No age,
cline, nor quarter of the globe affords any par
allel or any conditions of the least resemblance
to these which we find in this sea or gulf.

President Fillmore's Message

This document is of moderate length plain,
concise. and readable-a matter of fact paper,
as messages ought to be, instead of such ''long
yarns" of political jcsuitism as were put forth
for messages by Mr. Van Buren, and Mr. Polk.
The message receives the commentator OF
the press very generally, though not univer-
sal approval in all its parts
The reader will perceive that under the
present arrangement Of the tariff the impor-
tation of foreign goods is enormous, and con
sequcntly large sum of money is collected
by the revenue department; sum larger
than is needed for the use of Government III
ordinary times We are left in debt the past
year (if not paid by specie) to foreigners up,
wards of ffy mIlions ot dollars BY the excess
of imports over exports but, in the Language
of Mr. Greeley, we suppose it is no conse
uuencc at all how many holes there may be
in the keel Of the ship so long as 1t does no
sink.

ca The public appear to be under mis-
apprehension as to the nature of the difficulty
between the Passumpsic and the Il. {. 4
Montreal Railroads at Wells River, which for
some weeks past has caused Sc much excite
mcnt. We learn that the present contest has
no reference to the question of connexion
of the two roads at that point but to the right
of the B. c. & Montreal Road to build pub
lie travelled road across the land owned by
the Passumpsic Road, thereby to take the
travel and business of Wells River Village
and vicinity by carriage way upon the low
err chords of their railroad bridge directly to
their station on the east side Of Connecticut
River. The PassumTSic Road having taken
the land aforesaid for the purpose of construct
inc thereon their branch Railroad with view
to a connection. and having, as they allege,
commenced in good faith to make said Branch
Road, contend that the b. G. & Montreal Road
have no right within the State of Vermont
to appropriate portion of said land for the
purpose aforesaid.
