Eaglcville, Harrison County, Missouri.

poets to be about three weeks on the way.

Yesterday was tuesday appointed for
the sailing of Prof Wise's Graphic Bal
lo..n- The day was all that could have
been asked for, II the pleasant weather ex-
perienced here extended to New York.
We have not heard whether the balloon
assembled according to appointment; bat
we do feel certain that if ii ever crosses
the Atlantic, it will go by water.
We heard a gentleman complaining of
the sand pile 10. Michigan street, just south
oil the bridge. He seemed to think that
the sand was put there to raise the road,
when it was only intended for an orna-
ment. Some people will grumble any
way, and generally about that which they
know the least of. Some people even
grumble about the Republican,.
