the following:
''On Monday evening We we're startled BY
hearing the discharge Of firearms. as if Skin
mish was going On in Main street, near the
courthouse Upon proceedings to the spot We
learned that party of the t. S. soldiers sta
toned here had opened fire upon a crowd at
the corner Of Main and Liberty streets, and
that two colored were wounded one in the arm
and one in the thigh The first had a severe
flesh wound in the forearm. which he received
as he was proceeding towards the place of

which may Yet prove fatal The next day a

wound in the head, wLo said that he had
received the wound from the firing of the sol

SUSPENDED FROM a BIRNING BALLOON. -
At the close of the afternoon performance II
Grady circus in Columbus on Thursday, Mr.
Charles Fisher made an ascent in 4 hug hot
air balloon, Or rather the balloon Went up viii.
Fisher dangling to i couple Of ropes suspended

issue from point on the side ot the balo'n:
about one-hird the way up from the mouth 10
the top. Experienced eyes At once detected
that the balloon was on tirr. but the ieronaut,
all unconscious Of his danger, Went on with his
frightful performance on the trupcze. When
the balloon was about 800 feet in the air. he
flames we're seen to burst suddenly from It's side,
and simultaneously i cry Of horror went up
from the great crowd below.
Many turned away their eyes, and ole wn-
man tainted, all expecting that Fisher would at
once meet horrible death. But whether it
was that the material of the balloon was not
very inhammable, or that the hot air near the
fame was not favorable to combustion. certain
it is that the balloon did not burn rapidly, and
the aeronaut landed in safety upon th,. top Of
slaughter house, near the end OF the Hooking
Valley bridge over the Scioto, while the burn
ing balloon fell in the river, the waters Of which
speedily extinguiShed the flames. --fjmTm""h

LETTER from FauUuier Counts.

MARKHAM STATION. Aug. I'll have at
ways entertained the opinion that if our good
people, when approached by letter Or circular,
containing fraudulent propositions from parties
in any portion Of the country wulld lay it down
as a law to give all such communications pub
licity, it would save them a vast deal OF annoy
ance and at the same time serve as Il means OF

credit Though recognized by law, this agency,
to say the least of it, is certainly 4 nuisance,
and one, too. which the interest of every bust

consummate this end neither its circulars nor
agents should be countenanced BY honest pen-
pie.
