BALLOON VOYAGE TO EURopE.-A monster
balloon, for Prot. 7. s. e. Lowe, has just been
completed in New York, at the cost of $50, 900
1t is intended for voyage to Europe in October
and will carry six passengers, besides letter and
newspaper mail. description of it says:
Cover six thousand yards of the best material
have been used, and seventeen sewing machines
have been employed on the work and it is estimated
have done the work that would have required two
hundred girls to perform in the same time. The
aronaut does not claim to have invented any new
system of ballooning, but he has been enabled
by the assistance of friends, 10 construct machine
in which he is determined to test the practcability
of transatlantic voyage. The entire height of
the balloon, from the bottom of the boat to the
top, is 24O feet, and its diameter 123 feet The
boat is a lfe-boat, As feet in length, feet beam
and deep, aud will contain caloric engine for
the purpose of working propeller on the screw
principle The size of the car or basket is 80 feet
in circumference. 1t is calculated that the pro-
peller, which is placed in the bow of the boat will
enable the ronaut to raise or lower the balloon at
pleasure, and to keep steerage way on it. The
balloon will contain about 100000 cubic feet of
gas, and will weigh, with the car, boat and their
contents, about three tons, and will possess a
lifting power of 222 tons. 1t is expected to make
the voyage to Europe in two days"

For the Western Democro,
A COTTAGE.

Not on the lofty mountain,
But near its sunny side,
I'd build my love a cottage,
And there would we abide.
I never was ambitious
Of mansions tall and great,
Nor sighed to shine and glitter
With those of grand estate.
Therefore I crave a cottage
love a cottage best
For oh, of all, the lowly
Are found to be the blest.
A rose beside palace
Seems languishing for air;
But grown beside a cottage,
1t buds and blossoms fair.
And all the world of beauty
In fashions giddy throag,
Is as empty of the real
AS some artificial song.
So I'd have a snug, neat cottage,
Within some quiet spot,
Adorned with rose and lily,
And the sweet forget-me-not.

CHANGED Ills MIND TOO LATE.-A young
mechanic appeared before the Mayor of Lynchburg
on Tuesday, and asked to be sent to Jail. As a
reason for this strange request, he stated that he
had ''been on spree" for several weeks past, and
after making numberless efforts to straighten up,"
he had concluded that the only means by which
that desirable end could be effected, to place
himself beyond reach of his old enemy. The
Mayor taking the same view of the subject,
prepared the necessary papers About this time
the mind of the disciple of Barley corn underwent

it was too late-such triing could not be submitted

NAPOLEON AND KossUTH-The correspondent
of the New York Tribune, writing from Europe,
says:
As soon as the war in Italy against Austria was
resolved upon, Napoleon, Victor Emanuel and
Count Cavour planned an insurrection in Hungary,
as one of the means Of coercng Austria to evacuae
Italy They, however, knew Kossuth too we'll
not to know that such scheme, by which Hungary
would have acted as the cats-paw for Italy, to be
deserted by the Allies in the hour of her need,
could not meet with his appreciation They,
therefore, tried to arrange matters without him.
But when they saw that his name and talents were
indispensable to any rising in Hungary and when
they found that he had both the power and the
will to prevent an ill-tmed Instruction. they made
overtures to him. He twice had an interview with
the Emperor Napoleon, once at Paris in the
Tuieries, and once in the camp at Vailegio, where
the plans Of an invasion of Hungary by French
troops were discussed and fxcd provided that the
war should extend to the shores of the Adriatic
This, however, did not take place, and thus the
Hungarian expedition was, of course, postponed
until the second Italian campaign, which cannot
fail to follow in few years. unless Austria changes
her system of policy.

SENTENCED TO BE HUNG.-We alluded last
week to a case OF poisoning which had occurred in
the Northeastern section Of our District, under
peculiar and very aggravating circumstances.
Amanda Massey, age thirteen years, the daughter
of Alvin Massey, was taken suddenly i'll on Thurs
day night and died in few moments The body
inferred the next day; was taken up on
Monday following and examined by Coroner S
Jury. The jury rendered verdict to the effect
that the deceased had died of poison. Suspicion
rested upon Dan, slave Of the said Massey, as
having administered the poison. Dan was arrested
and brought to trial before magistrate and
treehoders on Friday following. After two days
investigation, the jury brought in verdict Of
guilty and the negro sentenced to be hung on
the first Friday in November next. He was
convicted, We understand, entirely upon circum-
stantal evidence, but so connected and convincing
were the circumstances, that the jury did not
hesitate to their verdict. The poison was a
vegetable and one that grows plcntifully in the
surrounding section. The circumstances went to
show that death was produced in less than fifteen
minutes from the time it was taken in the
stomach-Loncdstcr ( $. e. Ledger.
