IN the WiLderness-Ihe Balloon Abandoned
Four Days ,oittout Food-Lost in the Woods-
Eating Rau Frogs-Prouidentia Delivery, &C..
We received yesterday an extra Of the
New York Reformer, containing full
account of the perilous adventures Of
Messrs. La Mountain and John A. Had
dock, the balloon voyagers. who were
last week landed in the great Canadian
wilderness, north Of the Ottawa, and
were only delivered from death, from
starvation and exposure by the hand of
Providence. The account is written by
Mr.. Haddock, who is one of the editors
of the Reformer.
We cannot afford space for the entire
narrative. interesting as it all is. but we
publish the whole of the account of their
adventures in the wilderness, from the
time of the abandonment of the balloon
until they came upon the numbering par
ty, who supplied them with food and
guided them to the settlements from
whence they reached home on Thursday
morning.
They were deceived as to the direc-
tion and speed of the balloon during
their voyage. and hence committed the
almost fatal mistake of remaining in the
air until they had travelled northward a
distance Of three hundred miles, and
away beyond the confines of civilization.
1t was still night when they descended
first, and they remained in the dense
woods. drenched with cold rain, until
morning. without having any idea Of the
danger of their situation. In the morn-
ing. though it was still raining. they
contriyed, by abandoning nearly every
thing that the balloon contained, to rise
in it to sufficient height to obtain a
view Of the country. The view satisfied
them that their situation was perilous,
and prepared them somewhat for the suf-
ferings they experienced in undertaking
to escape from the wilds in which they
were imprisoned. They descended again
as soon as possible. tied up the balloon,
and prepared for their doubtful wander
ings in search of human habitation or
fellow being to guide them.
uAnnocK's srArrMrrr
We settled in our own minds that we
were either in John Browns tract or in
the great Canada wilderness-to the
South, we thought, of the Ottawa, and
thought that course-south by east
would take US out if we had strength
enough to travel the distance. La Noun

To the southeast, then we started.
After travelling about mile and half,
We came to the bank of creek, flowing
down from the westward. At this point
We were agreeably surprised to find that
some human being had been there before
US. for We found several small trees cut
down. the Goals from an old fire, and a
half.barrel, which bad contained pork.
