nal gives Al account Of an accent in an air
balloon, effected by M. Aubisn Burne,,
@ronaat, in the arena of Verona. The bal.
loon rose with tremendous velocity to an
altitude Of 2,700 feet, when, owing to the
extreme rarefacion Of the dir and the bad
state Of the valve, which il seems could not
be opened to let out the gas, the balloon
burst in three distinct places. Fortunately
the shreds adhered to the outer net, 90 a. to
form kind Of parachute, erpnaut found
himself descending with appalling velocity
but yet with sufficient regularity to enable
him to climb up the net and arrange the
tapping silk, SO as 10 render the descent
less precipitous.4 Ha then, being still a,
the height of about 400 feet, got again on,
ofthe car, but this time to cling TO it, bot
tom, in order to avoid the concussion, and
break the violence of the landing by the
elasticity oil his legs. He succeeded and
landed at Santa Lucia. place near Vero-
ma. For some minutes afterwards he was
completely deaf, but this soon wore of, and
he returned to Verona that same evening,

RAILROAD CoILlsros.-A coils ion to

RAILROAD CoLLIsroN.-A collis ion took
place on the Rock Island Railroad Tuesday
morning at 8 O'Clock, between . Peoria
freight train going out from this city and a
Rock Island train inward bound. The coils
ion occurred about three miles from this city,
and 10 attributed to the care lessness of the
engineer on the Rock Island tram, who be.
ing behind time and neglecting to wait at
the point where the Peoria train was to
pass him, ran into the Peoria train, demol,
ishiag the two locomotives alta ched to the
latter, and the locomotive attached to the
Rock Island train, and smas he'd up some
twenty five freight ears loaded with -four,
.lal.ber, &c. The engineers and firemen
saved themselves by jumping. The Rock
Island train, we are told, had no head
lights, and the Peoria train, for this reason,
did mol discover it's approach until mo.
inent before the collision. 49,

A correspondent Of the Charleston Cou.

of the failure OF Jacob Little. He says:
"The true cause Of the failure Of Jacob
Little has not yet been publicly stated. He
was . strong Fremont man, and really
thought he would be elected. Knowing
thst ii such an event had occurred, there
would have been excitement throughout the
country, that business would recsive fear
full shock, and caiamities portend, he calcu-
lated that about this time, amid the univer.

would reap the profits Of the public disas-
