an houl The acronaut used no basket but
assembled to the clouds revolving upon a
slender trapeze bar dangling from his bal
loon. Clad in the scant costume of cir
Gus performer, he bowed to the masses be-
low, who were standing in breathless
silence, and then sat down complacently
on the slender bar. The monstrous air ship
the "Globe," with $4,000 cubic feet of gas,
went rolling off to the northeast Smaller
and smaller the balloon appeared, until
finally the aeronaut and his ship were lost
to sight. He journeyed through terrific
rain and snow storm, accompanied by a
gale of wind, and faced death a score of
times. lie finally brought his journey to a
close by graphing the top of tree and Sc
curing the balloon by twisting the branches
about the ropes. Notwithstanding his
frightful experience, Shearcr declares his
readiness to try the journey over again.

THE PRINCE WILLIAM POISONING
CAsE-ACQUITAL OF THE ACCUsED.-Th
trial of Susan CisS0n, charged in the in
dictment with poisoning Judge A. n icol
s'and others on the 9Th of July last, took
place in the Circuit Court Of this county
on Tuesday last before Judge James Keith.
The prisoner was brought into the court
and given seat on the platform on line
with the seat occupied by the judge. He
face WAS flushed, and was partially hid
from view by q large sun-bonnett. She
appears to be about fifteen years old. blt
Notwithstanding her tender age, it i sud
she will shortly become q mother. After
hearing the testimony and argument, the
case was Submitted to the jury, who, after
being out q few minutes, returned a yer
dict of mot guilty as indicted" and the
prisoner was discharged, and left for her
home Though it is very generally believed
she administered the poison the verdict OF
the jury did not disapp int any one who
heard the case, and really no member Of
the family, though having no doubts as to
her guilt, seemed disposed to urge her con-
vction. Those who saw her in prison in
formed us that she sWears like 4 trooper,
and blackguards equal to the vilest Of the
vile, so that without q radical reform, her
future life must be one of Wickedness and a
source Of unhappiness to her friends, if she
has any. She is of small stature, fair and

JURORS DISMISSED IN AN U. S. COURT
The Shenandoah s'Herald'' has the follow
ing about case in Judge Riyes' Court at
Harrisonbl.rg last week:
Mr.. Philip Frederick was found guilty
in Judge Rives' court, st Harrisonbnrg, on
an indictment for the illicit sale Of one pint
of liquor and sentenced to six months i'm
prisOnment and to pay a fine OF one thou
send dollars. Mr.. RidgeWay, convicted of
the some offence, was given twelve months
and one Thousand dollars fine. The first
is to be confined in Woodstock jail and the
other at Front Royal. During the trial Of
Mr.. Frederick, a rather funny scene occur
red. The jury accompanied their verdict
with papersetting forth in substance thaE
they had failed to agree entirely on somf
points, aud would not, perhaps, have found
as they did but for the hope that the judgE
would exercise discretion and tighten thI
penalty. His Honor read the paper and,
then informed the jury that he could only
infer that they would have purjured them
selves rather than find verdict from the
evidence, where the law, in their Judgment,
was too severe; therefore they were unfit
to sit us jurymen in his court, and were
dismissed. The Judge afterward recon-
sidered and removed the disability he had
imp sed, but thought it best the Jury
should not sit again at the present term.
TIE case Of Mr.. Frederick is generally
condoned and every effort IS being put forth
to secure his pardon by the President.

COMPLIMENT TO A VIRGINIA JUDGE
The Richmond correspondent of the Pc
tersburg "Newso says:
The Supreme Court of Appeals in session
at Staunton. recently took a recess, upon
application of members of the bar, to allow
the President, Judge r. G. L. Moncure, to
attend the Episcopal Congress now in SEES
sion in New ork. The Court will recon-
vene at Staunton the 4th proximo, and will
begin it's term in at Richmond on the LIST
OF December. The compliment paid Judge
Moncure by his brother members Of the
court, was delicate and expressive one.
The Court cannot we'll get along without
him. His head, now Whitened with age,
contains wonderful store of legal knowl-
edge, his heart is as tender as q woman's,
and the purity OF his character as a man
and jurist, conspicuous. His decisions
rarely fail to give satlsfaotion the de-
feated party often finds oalm for his
wounds N the knowledge that Judge Mon
cure has passed upon his case. What Lee
was IS thesoldier, Moncure is as the Judge.
Each furnishes the highest type of his pro-
fession God grant that it may be many,
many years ere he is taken from his work.
Good judges we have now, and [ hope
will always have, but who could exactly
fill his place.
