1hriling lacideaL-On Friday last a man
named Wilson made al ascension from the
Fair Grounds. at Centralia, H., in q balloon
belonging to Brooks, the @rouaut. lie de-
scended about eighteen miles distant, at the
farm Of Mr.. Harvey. After the grapplug
iron had been made fast Harvey. to amUse
bis children, enc boy Of four years and the
other girl Of eight years, placed them in
the basket car and permitted them to ascend
several times as high as the rope would
allow. Unexpectedly the graphing iron
slipped FROM the fathers hand aud the bal
loon with its precious freight was waited out
oil sight. The distress Of the parent knew
no bounds. The peril Of his children he con.
sdered imminent, for what assurance had be
that they would not DO borne into some dense
forest where they they would be overtakeu
with hunger before they could be found, or
perhaps descend into some lake or stream
| and be dro8ned? a soon as il was possible
an Extra was issued al Cenlraiia, aud the
whole neighborng country placed on the
alert TO watch Tor the balloon and children
Saturday morning at daybreak, farmer
near New Carthage, iorty.thgee miles dis
| tant ircm Mr., Harvey's place, discovered the
balloon suspended in The air, attached by the
giapplns rope TO u tree in bis yard He
immediately hauled the balloon down, and
| found the youngest child asleep in the bot.
tom OF the basket! aud the eldest carefully
! watching over her little brother. They had
been waited about by different currents Of
cir throughout the night, and had coue to a
halt but l!tsle While before they were re.
| lleyed.
The story the girl told was that as the
balloon assembled she cried piteouyly to her
tatEor TO pull it down. She said she passed
over town where she saw great many
people, TO whom she likewise appealed at the
top OF her voice. This place srds Ceairaiia.
ihe balloon was sesn to pass over there, but
the people little imagined it carried two per.
sons in such danger. Her little brother
cried with cold, and the heroic girl took
Gil her epron, covered him and got him 10
sleep. In handling the ropes she happened
to pull one which had the effect Of Bringing
the balloon down, and although not under.
standing tho philosophy OF the movement
she was quite content to keep the valve open
SO long as by so doing she found she ap.
preached the earth.
The youthful aerial voyagers were In The
balloon about thirteen hoars and quarter
1t may easily be imagined that among the
neighbors whore they landed they were the
objects Of much curiosity and interest. The
girls presence OF mind and loving considera.
tion for her brother, may well entitle her tc
remembrance, while the incident itself wsl
of such remarkable character that we opine
that it will not soon be forgotten in that see
tiOn.
The boy aud girl were conveyed home q.
soon as practicable, and il is needless to say
we're received With oatstretched arms.

u" REGISTER AND RECoRDER.-Th con-
Trajectory rumors in this place, on Tuesday
last, in regard to who was TO be the opposi-
lion candidate for Register ond Recorder,
was occasioncd by the fact that nr. S. d.
Jordan aud Mr.. Grant had determined by
lot, the night previous, which one should
draw of. The ticket ca ne out 10 favor OF
Mr.. Jordan, and the next morning it was
generally understood that be was to be the
candidate, aud we, among others, so stated
it, and had already pat it in type for our
German paper. In the afternoon Mr. Jordan
! called on us and requested US to discontinue
his advertisement, and in reply to our inquiry
of the cause. stated that Mr.. Grants friends
were dissatisfied, and in matter Of SO much
doubt be did not desire to be u candidate if
there was the least Dissatisfaction manifested
by those to whom he would have to look for
support.

shown us a full set Of artificial teeth which he
has constructed for Mrs. Rohrbach, lady Of
this place The work is done in tho highest
style of The dental art, and reflects great ere.
dit upon Mr. Rem as dentist. His extra.
ordinary mechanical aptitude gives him great
advantages in the practice of bis profession.
II ranks among the most skiiral dentists in
this section of country.
"Tho most successful wine raiser in this
