After a great many conflicting state

vote at 37a, O29, and the Republican vote
at $4,000, a Democratic majority of

BALLOONING EXTRAORDINARY 80 A
BRIDAL TOUR sKYWARDs.


The Pittsburg Commercial of the 9th inst,
gives the following account Of n balloon
wedding;
In the afternoon, Notwithstanding the
shower of rain at 2 o'clock, upwards of one
thousand persons assembled to witness the
wedding in the balloon, and the subsequent
ascension of the parties in the Bridal
Chariot" About O'Clock, Miss Fornshell
and Mr.. Smithson entered the basket, ae-
companied by Alderman Strain, of the 10th
Ward, and in a few seconds the balloon
assembled to a height of one hundred feet,
where the contracting parties were duly mar
ried by the Alderman. At the conclusion of
the ceremonies, the balloon was drawn down,
Alderman Strain stepped out, and the intre-
pid eronaut, Prof. s. s. Thurston, of Mead
vile, took his place. The ropes were cut,
and the balloon swiftly and majestically
assembled to height of about two thousand
feet, when it sailed of in southeastern
direction, crossing the Allegheny River, over
the upper wards of the city, and on up the
Monongehala Valley, landing safely about
really one of the most beautiful ascensions
ever made in the country, and was remarka-
Bile as being the first and only balloon bridal

occasions, to be skilfull Rronaut, speaks in
eulogistic terms of the nerve of Miss Form

until the balloon had assembled through the
first clouds-a mile above terra tirma The
balloon from the time it left the Park until
it reached McKeesport, continued to ascend
the greatest height attained being about three

minutes after reaching the earth the party
were surrounded by more than Thousand

ORIGIN OF THE RUSSIAN TREATY.
San Fancisco Bulletin throws somenew light
on the way in which the Russian American
treaty was brought about. It seems that
company of American citizens was organized
IN San Francisco some time ago, and applied
to the Russian Government for certain trad
ing privileges in Russian America The
matter was put into the hands of Senator
Cole, who made the application through MIR.
Clay, our Minister to Russia. II was found,
however, that the Russian American Fur
Company held grant of all the territory
for trading purposes, and that the Hudson
Bay Company held sub grant Tor portion
at least Of the same territory. The San Fran
cisco company soon perfected their plans for
Il sub-grapt of q similar nature, and the
papers were submitted TO the Gear for his
approval. The Gar, fearing the arrange
ment might cause trouble between the Eng
lsh and American Companies, said he would
sell the whole territory TO the United States,
and extinguish the title to the Russian Ameri.
can Company. Baron Stoeckl, who was then
in St, Petersburg, at once returned to tins
country and suggested the matter to Mr..
Seward, and the purchase and treaty fol-
lowed This, the Bulletin claims, is the
true orlGiG. Of the treaty of Alaska, and
though other reasons doubtless induced the
Russian Government to sell the territory, i
was this application Of the San Francisco
Company which opened the way for the con
