The friends and relatives of Mr. Isaac
Alden, Esq, of Whiting, gathered at his
residence on Monday evening, Sept 10Th,
to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his
marriage. They gathered to the number
of 50 or more, with joyous, happy faces.
Old and young seemed to be in their hap
pest mood, and many a hearty laugh rang
through that spacious old frame house, as
the various gifts were presented to this
worthy couple. I have not space to de-
scribe them, but they were all useful in
any farm house, and Mr.. Alden in thank

BALLOON ASCENSION AT BARTON, VT.
The Orleans county, Vt, Agricultural So
ciety held their annual Fair at Barton, on
Tuesday and Wednesday last, and the
Fair Grounds Company held a horse ex-
hibition on Thursday. In connection
with the latter, Mr. Samuel A King, the
well known Boston aeronaut, made bal
loon ascension. Ascending at half-past
three o'clock in his b4loon Aurora" he
took an easterly course, and travelling
rapidly passed over the northern sections
of Vermont and New Hampshire into
Maine, where he landed in the town of
Byron, on Swift River, Oxford county,
about quarter past six. He once or
twice assembled to a great height-between
three and four miles-and as he passed to
the Northward of the White Mountains,
their altitude was less than his. Nearly
the whole journey was over mountain
peaks, and wild unbroken country. Mr..
King describes the view he obtained from
his elevated position as grand in the ex-
RENE. All the mountains and many of
the lakes of Northern Vermont, New York,
New Hampshire and Maine, and of the
lower part of Canada, were brought into
the range division, as were also the Allan
tic ocean and the st, Lawrence river. He
landed safely and returned to Boston via
Portland.

physical wreck, no one can tell. We only
have reason to suppose that he deliberat-
ely purchased the narcotic which was the
means of death: and, hiding away from
sight, lay down in silence and darkness to
his last sleep, to die like poisoned rat IN
a barn. 1t was a sad and pitiful ending
for an intelligent and responsible being.
We could regard it only with mex
pressible pity for the unfortunate man
and for those dependent on him; and sor-
row for the many, here and everywhere,
who will not heed even such warnings,
What terrible demon is the demon of
