THE CHICAGO COw.-This animal whether con-
sumed in the flames which her fatal hoof caused
or quietly browsing upon the prairies outside the
city she unwittingly destroyed, has become an
historical creature, like Bueephalus the horse of
of Rome, and not a few dumb creatures beslrs.
such as the bears that destroyed the urchins VIII,
reviled the prophet, the cock that crew thrice
as Peter denied his Master However, the COW i.
innocent, aud will become. it may be- if alive, tn
future attraction Of Barnum's menagerie, and thr
mother Of generation that will trace its pedigree
to the COW of Chicago. There is but one uthrs
name in history, we believe, connected with such
mighty conaagration as that of the past few
days. The vagabond who fired the temple of D-
ana, that his name might be handed down to ppS-
terty, has ut last had his performance eclips-d L
the heel of COW; and thus it is that the ''whir-
agig of time brings in his revenges,- and that
brute surpasses man even in fame by the result Of
some unforeseen accident

CHIcAGo.-The papers, for the past week, have
been full of the Chicago disaster. The rubbish il
being cleared away, a list of the persons burned
being made up, the amount of property destroyed
being ascertained; all sufferers are trying to find
out what they have saved and the extent of their
losses; the Insurance Companies are summing up
their liabilities, and trying to determine whether
they can live through it, (many having already sus-
peuded); and business men in the city are prepar-
ing to start anew. In the meantime, relief con-
tssxes to pour in from all quarters, and already
hundreds of thousands of dollars have been con-
tributed. All immediate distress has been amply
provided for, and measures win be taken to pre-
vent suffering, as far as possible, through the
winter.

Balloon Ascension at Barton, Vt

As iNrERrsTING ERAL VOYAGE
Mr.. Samuel A. King the well known Bos-
ton ;eronaut, made his l59th ascension, at
Barton, VI, on Friday last in connection with
a Fair held at that place. Some five thous-
and people were present attracted in the main
by the balloon ascension, and the spectacle was
an uncomm only interesting one, inasmuch as
the balloon remained in sight long time
Mr.. King manufactured the gas used on the
ground, and was accompanied on his voyage
~ Mr.. William Josselyn of Barton. The
scension was made at half-past o'clock, p
10, and the balloon assembled nearly in
raight line to an altitude of about two miles,
shown By the barometer. At this hight
ere was slight breeze which carried them
most imperceptibly in a south.easterly d.
cti0n. The balloon continued at this alti-
llde, with only slight variation, for some
twenty miles, when Mr.. King once more de-
,cended to lower region aud affected land.
ing upon the Knox Farm, in Kirby, about
seven miles east Of Lyndonvile The balloon
descended at six o'clock, having been an hour
and half on its journey, from Barton. 10
coming down near the earth counter currents
were encountered, and for little distance the
balloon was carried on back track, but soon
struck another current which took it back
again IN its onward course. The landing was
effected IN very convenient place without ac-
cident. The voyagers describe their journey
as one OF great interest and enjoyment. The
atmosphere was very clear and the view was
very extended The mountains Of Vermont
and New Hampshire were almost beneath
their feet, and Mr.. King states that in place
oil the hat appearance presented by a country
beneath balloon, the elevations were plainly
distingulshable phenomena that arose from

All the Green Mountains, the White Noun

northern portion OF New England, large

lnnumerable were the lakes and rivers tC

The Census Errors Corrected.

We quoted correspondent Of the New
York Tribune last week, to the effect that
the report of the census of 1871 enormously
assigned l6 sldres to Nermont-an error
which has been perpetuated in all subsequent
statements Some doubt was cast on the ac-
curacy Of this statement by the fact that the
writer gave the names Of the census officers
of 1920 as autho rity for it. This was an er-
ror of his ; but we have the authority of
Hon. HILAND HALL for saying that The orig.
i,al census Of the Marshal Of Vermont for
1891 contained no column for slGres and no
aares irere in fact returned but on the
other hand, the persons counted az slaves in
the census Office in 1871 were in fact
returned by the Marshal of Vermont as Free
Blacks. The footings in the original of
inhabitants for the several towns agree with
the printed report Of that census, thus proving
beyond controversy that the error consisted in
classifying, in that report, the free blacks as
slaves. As the constitution of Vermont in
III excluded slavery, this report of slaves
in the census of 1871 has always been a mys-
terry to us. 1t is now cleared up, and Yer
mont stands as State that never returned
slave among its inhabitants.
While we are about it, we may as well cor.
rect another error of the eensuses Of 1860 and
1870. by an act of the General Assembly,
passed in 1855, Harris Gore, and what was
formerly known as " Goshen Gore by Plain.
field" were annexed to the County of Wash.
ngton whereas, both in 1860 and 1870,
Harris Gore is included in Caledonia County
in the census report, instead Of Washington
County. la 1870 Goshen Gore had no in.
habitants in fact, and none are returned, Of
course, in the census but ere 1880 Goshen
Gore, by reason Of railroad facilities in its
neighborhOOd, will undoubtedly have a good.

have noted, If not corrected will be impor.

-Four little Poughkoepse boys took
dangerous railroad ride on Saturday last. An
extra locomotive of the Hudson River road
had stopped there a few minutes, and suppos-
ing it switch engine employed at the depot
they jumped on the rear Of the tender. Three
sat on the gaurd, only six inches wide, aud
the other got astride the bumper. Soon after
the engine started it was running 40 miles an
hour, and the boys were terribly shaken
They could not be seen from the engine, the
dust and smoke concealed them from the Gag
men they passed, and their cries were drowned
by the noise. A sharp man at Poughkeepsie
suspected trouble, and the engine was stopped
by telegraph at New Hamburg. The boy who
was astrde of the link was unable TO walk
when taken of, his legs being awfully chafed
The hands Of the other boys were bistered
terribly, and the blood oozed out from under
their hnger-nails so tightly had they grasped
the woodwork of the tender. They were
nearly exhausted, and short distance more
would have killed them.
