in near Moynaity:

die of starvation in Skibereen, and be taken
home and beried what you might call da,

YOU some of my courageous exploits You
must know, avourneen, that was one OF
the bravest fellows in the army, so was
chosen to cross the river at Alma first; SO

and if YOU only saw the bullets and shells
hying about me, sure it was enough to make

to ten matrons, whose daughters were IN

tea board of Mrs. McAlpin on the day toll

A FrigIitful Descent.

The telegraph few days since announc-
ed that the balloon, in which Miss Brad
ley ascendeJ from Easton, Pa, burst, and
the lady descended with the most frightful
rapidity. An eyewitness gives the follow
ing account of the scene:
1t would appear, from Miss BIS own &C.
count, that she knew very little about the
business she had undertaken, or of the eff
fects likely to be produced upon the balloon
wh@ it reached the rariied atmospheric
The balloon was an old one, and the silk
had become so rotten that it was wonderful
that It would bear initiation at all. When
she reached this height she states that the
balloon, which was not entirely filled when
it let the earth, expanded, until the gas be-
gan to escape at the seams and became
very offensive TO her. She had been so abb
sorbed by the enchanting prospect spread
out beneath her, which she says was mag
niicen! beyond the power Of language to
describe, that she had not noticed the BAL
loon. The escape of gas alarmed her, and
she pulled the valve rope. but permitted but
little gas to escape, as she was afraid she
would fall into the Delaware, which was d.
rectIy beneath her.
In few moments after this the balloon
collapsed, and to our horror and alarm, we
saw her fall with frIghtful rapidity for the
distance OF six hundred or seven hundred
feet, her progress then being checked, frcm
what cause we below could not see, although
we then observed that she was descending
quite slowly. II seems that when the BAL
loon burst it was torn into ribbands, except
the lower part or neck of the balloon. So
completely was The upper part torn to pieces,
that large pieces of silk bley away, and
the remainder hung down even below the
car. When she had fallen this distance,
the neck of the balloon suddenly blew up,
turning inside out, and catching against the
net work, formed parachute, which bore
her safely 10 the ground. She came down
IN an open field, and SO lightly did the car
strike the earth that she says there was not
the slightest jar. Her presence of mind
was extraordinary. After this fearful fall,
and when The balloon was still descending
with terrific velocity, she threw out her
sand bags and anchor, and then with the
utmost calmness commenced singing a
hymn. She alighted about four miles from
this place.

DREss.-The honorable Miss Murray,
sister OF Scotch Duke, and maid Of hon
or TO Queen Victoria has been staying for
some days past in New York. Miss Muir
ray is lady of mcpherson, robust health,
and uncommon energy of character-aged
about 80 years. She has visited several of
the public institutions, and been entertain
ed oy many citizens at their own houses,
where her frank and cordial manners, her
singular intelligence and great kindness of
heart have secured her many friends, Miss
Murray we understand has keenly enjoyed
her extended tour in this country. She ap-
pears, however, 10 have been struck with
amazement at The expenditure, the HELPLESS
ness, and the lll-health Of that unfortunate
class of beings, the fashionable women OF
our cities. Miss Murray, like all the fash
ionabIe women Of Europe, dresses so plain
ly that it probably costs her less to dress
for whole year, than many New York
lady expends for halfa dozen handkerchlefs
1t is settled thing in Europe, that extrav-
agance in dress is The uery cr'reme of uuI-
gariiy and is never INDUCED IN except by
those whose only claim to distinction is the
length of their purse.-Ladies Enterprise.
