northwest, and straight towards Lake Pont-
charirail, and which carried the balloon
steadily forward at the rate of IS miles an
hour. The voyagers describe their pro-
gress as perfectly easy and far more lux
urious than the movement of a patent
spring carriage over smooth-shaven lawn.
Passing over the lake at an elevation of
mile and half, they distinctly perceived its
bottom, the water assuming an almost glass
like transparency. They were also favored
with the sublime spectacle of a pine forrest
in flames. After voyage of 2 81 hours,
they descended about 10 miles from Gin

the assistance of the ignorant and frighten-
ed countrymen, who thought it would GER

ing delicate, he has resigned his charge for
six months; and his pulpit is supplied by
the Rev. sir. Tenney, OF Boston. We had
the pleasure of hearing him preach, Sunday
afternoon,-and it was one of the best SET
mons that we have heard in long lim'.-
lie is man of fine talents his sermon was
well delivered, and his thoughts were bold,
truthful and manly, lie called things by
their right names, and spoke in plain ard
decided manner, such as many other clcr-
gymen would do well to initiate. There is
no moral cowardice in that mans nature ::
it will do many men in this community a
gread deal Of good to hear him preach, ,espe-
cially if they will profit by his instruction,
if it is always such as that of last Sunday.
