| which went up from Palace Garden. New
York, on Saturday last, which is described as
4 follows.
The asceat Of Miss Myra Rosella, on Satur-
day afternoon last, was Of quite satisfactory
| character, and involved no extraordinary cir.
cums:ance. She sailed aiofi. for two hours or
more, at a sfupendous height, and alightsd,
with the ease and grace Of bird, near Hack
ensack, in our sister State Of New Jersey.
But with the singular misfortune always at.
tendant upon the efforts of woman to initiate
the achievements Of man, her descent was dis
astrous. She struck tree, and with some
difficulty escaped that danger. when she came
near an upset in her car. Further on, ap-
preaching The close OF her erial Journey,
she cast anchor, and called some persons to
aid her in reaching the earth. Several gent tle-
men promptly seized the anchor and rendered
gallant aid.
BURGLARS BLOWN UP.-On the night of the
| 18th inst an attempt was made to rob the Bank
at Medina, Orleans county, N. Y, and the
rogues were hoisted by their own peiard.-
They entered the bank edifice by false keys, or
by picking the lock of the front door, and then
proceeded to operate on the safe or vault door
They uncovered the key hole and inserted
powder TO blow the lock to pieces and open the
door. Unfortunately for them they put ia too
much powder. When the explosion took place,
1t not only blew the door Of the vault open,
but IL blew the windows of the bank out, and
made such a loud report that tha people of the
village were aroused from their slum bers.-
The bank is on the main street of the village,
and closely joins other buildings where people
slept. As soon as the explosion took place,
the people in the neighborimg buildings sprung
from their beds and appeared in the streets
The rogues who had caused the mischief dis
appeared themselves, alarmed by the shock
they had given. 1t is thought that they blew
themselves ont of doors. At all events they
left without taking any of the contents Of the
vault, and had their labor for nothing
You've MAN MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR
AND KILLRD.-Thursday night, at the resi-
dence of Col John Pope, near Memphis,
resulted in the death of one of his sons, Leroy,
aged about II years. Apprehending a visit
from negro burglars, Leroy and his elder
orotner, Andrew, repaired, late at night,
| shortly afterwards, Leroy going toward his
room. The dogs, in few moments, COM
menced making noise, and doubtless sup
posing that they were pursuing burglar,
Andrew fired in the direction of the noise
Leroy, it seems, had that instant stepped out
OF his room, and being in range of the gun, re-
ceived its contents, from the effects of which
he expired short time afterward.
