TFrom the Courier l'Europe

An affair Of this nature took place on
the occasion of the last ascent but one of
the celebrated and lucky seronaut Mons.
GODDARD. Mr.. GODDARD took with him
that day. as his eompagnon da voyage, a
wealthy private gentleman, who paid
1000 francs for the privilege of sharing
in the perils of his expedition. The
weather could not have been more pro-
pitious, and the balloon shot up rapidly
to considerable altitude.
What effect does that produce upon
you ?" asked M. GODDARD of his compan-
ion. -"
Nothing" replied the gentleman,
laconically. sn
"My compliments to you, sal God
ard. "You are the first whom have
seen arrive at such an altitude without
betraying some emotion

with gravity supreme. 3aa
M. GODDARD threw out some ballast, and
the balloon assembled some 500 feet high

asked M. GODDARD. nas 8 -tsag

A Rich Scene.

A Rich Scene.
In the Canadian House of Assembly,
last week, they had quite a spirited de-
bate on the bill to prohibit the use Of
hoops and crinoline, introduced by Ak
en-. We publish few of the most bril-
liant passages.
Mr.. Drummond was an ardent admir-
er of hoops from childhood. He was
born with a love of hoops. When he
was child of tender growth, he used to
trundle his hoop. all unconscious of the
fate that was in store for him. Later in
life he had swallowed a ring, which re-
suited in hopping cough and even now
the sight of an empty hogshead brought
tears into his eyes.
Mr.. Brown complained that it was i'm
possible, now, to choose a wife, since
her defects were SO hid by hoops, and
enveloped in crinoline, that the naked

A legislator, whose bright home is

ence to the project Of forming new
county: 81 predicate my objections to
this new county on different grounds,
one of the main and most important of
which is, that am confident it would
not be entitled to a representative in the
next fifty years. Mr.. Speaker, did you
ever visit the territory sought to be ere
ated into the county of Carter Did
you ever have an opportunity of behold
ing its mullifarious beauties. and of ex-
amining its boundless resources 3? Well,
sir, l have been all over it, and all around
it, and do say here, openly and defiant
ly, that there is not level ground enough
within its entire limits to build pig pen
on. Laughter. The soil is so poor it
would not grow pennyroyal. Sir, you
might NOV the county with razor, and
rake it with a fne-tooth comb, and you
wouldn't get enough fodder to keep a
sick grasshopper through the winter
Renewed laughter.] Sir. they plant
corn with crow bars, and hold sheep by
the hind legs while they nibble the grass

laughter. Sir, the fero natura of that
section are principally ticks, and | must
in justice say, that variety of insect at
tains splendid size in this new county
of Carter the smallest that ever fell un-
der my observation being at least as big
as saddle bag locks. Laughter.
AS TO internal improvements in that
section, this House can form some idea
when l assure it that the only thing re-
sembling road that l ever saw there
was when one Of the barefooted natives
dragged wild boy seven miles through
the snow, Laughter and cheers. With
such country as this, Mr.. Speaker, they
propose to make a new county, and the
reason for SO doing is. that the convent
ence of the inhabitants will be promoted
thereby Sir, if it were possible to hold
their Courts under the shade Of post
oak and black jack saplings. to keep g
Clerks office and the records of the
county in the recesses of hollow syca-
more. and to make a jail out of some of
the dark and Shiny caves beneath the
craggy hill of that rough country-if it
were possible to establish the machinery
for doing county business out of such
materials. we might entertain the pro-
ject as feasible. But, alas, even such
advantages as these are denied by nature
to this country. [Great laughter 1t
is true there would be no difficulty about
the caverns for Jail. but the necessary

ply with their foliage a canopy for the

LAMPAs IN HoRsEs.-Dr. T. Webb, V.
s, in communication to the Ohio
Farmer, speaks of lampas as being, in
general, not disease in itself, but the
effect of another disease. "Should the
bars of the mouth" he says, present
red and tumid appearance, and appear
bulging, and upon level with the sur
face of the nippers, this is ascribable to
congestion of blood and albuminous in
filtration into the cellular membrane,
which attaches the bars to the hard pal
ate. This may cause some difficulty in
mastication, but as general thing, the
cause of loss of appetite will be found
elsewhere, Whatever may be the origin,
the cause does not lie in the palate, norris
it removed by the barbarous operation of
burning out. The best practice is to
feed on bran mashes for time. give
cooling drinks and the horse will soon
eat his hay and corn with avidity" +"
