EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT TO AN ERo-
NAUT.-The Newcastle (England) Chronicle
has an account of an extraordinary fall sus-
tanned by an ieronaut from his balloon which
did not Immediately kill him. though some
time after he died OF the internal injury re-
ceived:
The balloon ascended with great rapiditv
Immediately on being released from restraint.
and as il glided higher and higher, the crowd
repeatedly cheered the UroLaut, who descended
from his cara kind of basket. covered with
red cloth, and containing seats fer two per-
sons-and performed his trapeze exploits to
the half averted gaze of the assem- blage in the
distance. His adventurous achievements were
pretty freely condemned by those whom he
had left few moments previously. and we
can say that it was Il great relief, after seeing
him suspended by the foot from his frail ma
chnery, at a height OF about 900 feet, to per-
ceive that he had taken his seat inside the car
The balloon was TO descend in a clover
field by a farmer and his son, who Were en-
ployed III the adjoining enclosure. The hedge
prevented them seeing exactly what occurred
but there Is no doubt that the ear reached the
ground in safety. There was but very little
wind at the time, and the descent took place in
most favorable situation. There can be lit
tie doubt, however, that the grappling-ron
failed to keep its hold, and that the balloon
dragged few yards along the ground causinp
some of the ballast TO be upset, thus lessening
the weight to be sustained. AT that moment
the daring royGssW seems TO have been getting
out OF the ear, when the balloon, rising with
sudden velocity, caught his feet in the ropes.
and whirled him unexp 1ctedly into the air.
For moment he was seen with his head hang
ing downWards, in the next the rope was dis
entangled. and he fell into the cIoyer,fie]d tA-
meath, distance certainly not less than 100
feet. The persons near HIM Immediately ran
to his assistance; to their surprise he was not
dead, but spoke IN an incoherent manner, COM
planning that he was nearly suffocated with
gas Upon close examination, it was discoy-
cred mat no bones We're broken, or We're there

IN IN attendance regarded the case favorably, and
the general impression was one of uuboinded
astonlshment that so little injury followed
the catastrophe. The dress of the aronaut was
only slightly soiled, and watch. which was

Letters Of Recommendation, in very many
instances are not worth the paper they are
written on, because of the fact that very few
persons dislike 10 refuse letter when asked
for; and also because some men, in order to
get rid of worthless employees, give them
letters to travel with. SO many frauds have
been perpetrated of late years by means of
letters of recommendation, that strangers who
now carry them, are looked upon with suspi-
cion, and business men seem generally dispos-
ed TO get rid of letter bearers as speedily as
possible On Saturday last, the wreck of
Charles J. Craig was before the Mayor to an
swer for being exposed in a drunken state in
one of the public markets. The prisoner had
evidently been a man of good appearance and
address before he fell prey TO liquor; but
when placed in the criminal box, his eyes
were red and sunken, his cheeks resembled
two blown bladders, his limbs were as shaky
as an aspen, and his entire make up' was that
of an old topper on his last legs. The prison.
er had a letter of recommendation purporting
TO have been written by gentleman in VIM
chester, which gave the bearer an exalted char
acter for honesty and sobriety. Toascertain if
it were genuine, the Mayor had copy of it
forwarded to the reputed author, and COM
mitted the prisoner in default of bail for his
good behavior.
