The dangers and casualties attending balloon
ascensions, and their next to utter useessness
30 far, ought to abate the zeal of the score of
advenlurers in the United States who are ambi-
tious of a sky Profesorship. The fate of poor
ThurstOn last year has probably been repeated
10 the case of Mr. La Mountain and Mr.. Had
Dock who ascsnded from Watertown, N. Y,
ON the % ] of September with the intention Of
making brief trip only, being provided with
but three pounds Of provisions. The balloon
passed off to the northeast and out of sight in
twenty minutes, and was last seen fifty miles
from Watertown, at great height, and moving
a, rapid rate northeastwardly. They had $50
pounds of ballast, which it was thought would
enable them to cross the Gulf of st. Lawrence
if they chose. For some days it was antiepa.
ted that they might have remained up over
night and landed in the wilds of Lower Canada
tue next day, but no tidings of the adventu-
rsrs lhaving been received for nine days, the
hope of their safety is given up. Both have
undoubtedly perished, but where and how II ay
never be known.
MIR. La Mountain was an experienced and
daring bailoOnist, the principal hero of the TRIP
from st. Louis to Lake Ontario, and the peril.
Gus water and woods landing in hurricane
John A. HaddOck, his companion in the las
ascension, was editor Of the Watertown Re
former, and also a resolute man.
Mr.. Coe and Mr. Collamer, of Rome, N
Y, narrowly escaped death by the bursting Q
aballOcn on the 29th of Sept, at an altitude oi
two miles. Fortunately for them the balloon
urnad on the top of the netting, and formed
parachute, breaking the fall so that they lande'
safely three miles from Rome. The lucky fel
lows will not be anxious for another so long
drop in a hurry
