In pursuance Of the call made by COL Bald
win, the County aud City Superlntendent-duly
published in all the city papers-a meeting Of

solved that the voters present from the several

THE FLYING TRAPEzE IN THE AIR.
Feats Of Tight Rope Performer 500 Feet
Above Ground.

| A correspondent of the New York World,
writing from Reading, Berks county, Pennsyl-
vania, gives the following account of an extra
ordinary exhibition recently witnessed there:
One Of the most extraordinary and almost
incredible exhibitions of human intrepidity and
daring was last Monday, the 4th instant, wit
messed by the citizens Of this place. It seemed
to equal if not surpass in thrilling and painful
interest anything ever attempted by Sam
Patch or Bondin in their widest efforts
An individual named Donaldson-a tight
rope walker and magician, as he styles him
self-who had on the previous Wednesday
made balloon ascension in the ordinary way
1.-THE first balloon ascent OF any kind he had
ever made ia his life), repeated his perform
ance on Monday last, but this time with no
basket attached to his balloo nothing what
ever, in fact, but common trapeze. Upon
this he seated himself with the greatest cool
ness and composure and went floating away in
to space, to the astopishment of large crowd
which had gathered to see him, but few cheers
greeting him, as the spectators seemed spell
bound with fear and apprehension. After as
cending to considerable distance he c0mmen-
ced throwing out number of circulars which
he had attached to little hoop below the bal
loon and which in the clear atmosphere ap
peared like twinkling stars surrounding the
balloon, producing most novel ana pleasing
effect But this was nothing to what followed
At the height Of some three hundred feet he
commenced balancing himself On his back on
the bar of the trapeze and going through 9th
er fearful evolutions. He then deliberately slid
from the bar, head downwards and, catching
himself by the feet, remained suspended for
several seconds in that awful position The
appalling sight was one never to be forgotten
by those who witnessed it. A thrill and low
murmur of horror passed through the immense
multitude, who were looking on with intense
interest, and many hurried away from the sight
giddy and faint The daring eronaut, how
ever, went through his evolutions successfully,
and, regaining his seat, went soaring rapidly
and steadily upwards. When at the height of
three-quarters of a mile he had the astounding
nerve to repeat his performance, which, at so
great distance, could only be clearly visible by
the aid of glasses. What made this ascent all
the more hazardous is that the balloon is
very small one carrying but little ballast, and
with nothing but light anchor attached to the
hoop.
The aronaut completed his voyage safely, al
though he once or twice seemed to be in con-
siderable danger.

The New York Journal of Commerce says
1.-THE vicious system of drumming up trade is
demoralizing and costs too much to be profta-
BILE. The man who advertises instead, can af-
ford to sell at lower rates, and thus he can
surely fasten to himself the trade he attracts
by his announcement in the newspapers. The
old-fashioned way of telling the public what
you have to sell in plain, simple terms, is worth
more than all the new inventions, and traders
will have to go back to it,
