A Lady, Alone, Ascsnds Four Miles in q
Balloon.

The Utica IN. Y. Herald says Prof
Squire returned Monday from Pough-
keepsie. and gives thrilling account OF
the ascension made there on the Fourth.
Prof. Squire went up in the Atlantic. i"
A Miss Thurston went up in another ball
loon at the same time The two started
together from Poughkeepsie. Prof.
Squire ascended early to the clouds
Then seeing that Miss Thurston was not
following him very fast. he descended.
intending to tell her to throw out ballast.
Before he coud get near enough to give
any directions, she east overheard the
contents ofone sand-bag this was imme.
dately followed by the contents of an.
other. She then went into the clouds
and out Of sight of her fellow aeronout,
and out of sight Of those on earth, OF
course. Prof Squire says. :" she went
up like rocket, and out Of sight almost
instantly Squire allowed the "Atlan
tic" to drift under the clouds, and in
sight of the earth. until over Hyde Park,
four miles ABOVE Poughkeepsie Then
he threw out sand and went up the clouds
in the clear sunlight He says he must
have ascended nearly half mile above
the clouds before he caught sight OF Miss
Thurston's balloon. This balloon was
then far above him, and looked no
larger than gentleman hat. " OF
course he could not see the lady at all
at that distance. He is Of opinion that
the lady was at least four miles from
earth. She says that the air was so cold
and rare, that the pain in her ears and
eyes was almost beyond endurance, and
she could only pull the valve cord by
winding it round her arm and throwing
her weight on it. Miss Thurston, who,
by the way, has another name in society,
is nineteen years Of age. well educated,
and student at prominent institution
Of learning None Of her friends save
her mother knew that she was to try to
manage balloon alone on that day. She
is the niece of a late balloonist, in his day
the most daring in the country, and has
made about twenty ascensions with him
during his life. This was her first trip
alone.

The War iii France.

Paris has capitulated This, bereft Of de-
tails, is the substance OF the weeks news from
the seat of war in Europe. After the failure
of the ssrtie on the 10th, the population be-
came dangerously turbulent. On the 2lst an
excited crowd from Belleville and adjacent
quarters gathered around the prison Mazas,
where Flourens, Miliers and other political
prisoners were confined, and breaking down
the doors, released them. Next day the crowd,
headed by Flourens, went to the Hotel de
Vile and demanded possession of the govern
ment, but that building being guarded by the
Mobiles, when threatningly pressed upon by
by the crowd, fired upon them, killing six and
wounding about forty. The fire was returned,
and some of the Mobiles were killed.
These disorders alarmed the government,
and Jules Favre, on the odd, went with flag
OF truce to Versailles to propose terms of cap
itulaton. The negotiations lasted several
days, but on the goth it was authoritatively
announced that an armistice Of 81 days had
been signed, conditioned that the forts around
Paris were to be surrendered to the Prussians,
the regulars and mobiles within the city to be
disarmed and detained as prisoners of war,
the national guards to retain their arms and
maintain order; and Paris to be victualed by
Prussans as soon as the armies are surrender
ed. The French people are free to attend the
elections on the Sth, to elect national assem-
bly, to convene at Bordeaux on the 18th, with
whom the Prussans will treat for permanent
peace. During the armistice no Prussian SOL
diers are allowed to enter Paris.
The government at Bordeaux has decided to
abide by the armistlce, but declare stoutly
against permanent peace on the terms Offer
ed by Prussia, Gambetta exhorting the prov
inces to proceed with the instruction of their
troops and to continue their efforts for the
common defence the same as if no surrender
was talked Of
