In honor of the return of the Connecti- cut brigade from Philadelphia last Satur- day, balloon ascension had been arranged for at New Haven, to take place at four o'clock from the public square in that city. The aeronaut was David s. Thomas, for merly press agent for P. T. Barnum. The balloon was filled about ten o'clock, and at eleven o'clock rope ascensions were made to the height of 1000 feet, number of passengers being taken up that distance at two dollars per head. On the fifth ascen- sion at about twelve o'clock, strong gust of wind struck the balloon and threw it violently on to the roof of the American National Life and Trust company building. The balloon fell upon the roof, but the bas- ket struck against the front of the building, and for a moment the occupants of tbe basket were in great danger of being killed. The netting of the balloon caught in the iron-work which crowns the top of the building, and the occupants of the balloon managed to crawl over the balustrade to the roof. None were seriously injured. The occupants of the basket were MT Thomas, the aeronaut, w. Ward, superin' tendent of the New Haven and West Ha ven horse railroad, Robert Day, reporter for 1he Union, and F. w. Allnut. The mishap was witnessed by several thousand people, and the greatest consternation pre-. vailed. ed.-Hdrtford Post.

[For the Conn. Western News1r Oh! could by some influence Bling to life and bloom, Each faded treasure of the heart That sorrow would consume Like moonbeams on some funeral pile, Oh! might come to bless, With some kind look or tender smile The heart so comfortlessl Thus muzed I, as I gazed upon The cortege passing by, And saw the heads bowed down with grief And heard the deep-drawn sigh; Too well know the fate of all To weep OCT broken ties The restless spirit wanders where Our buried love now lies. But such Is lifel Whate'er we love Is transient as the dew The brightest and the sweetest flower Has no enduring hue: One only hope to us is given,
 Beyond the reach of time: The spirits of our loved and lost Are not of earthly mine. They're fadeless gemsl Their brilliancy Adorns Heavenly crown; Thro' faith we hope to meet them there And claim them still our own. Salisbury, Sunday p. m., Sept. 10th, 1876.

INCH BY INcH.-Observation regarding the growth of men have determined the following interesting facts: The most rap id growth takes place immediately after birth, the growth of an infant during the first year of it's existence being about eight inches. This ratio of increase gradually decreases until the age of three years is reached, at which time the size attained is half that which it is to become when full grown. After five years the succeeding in crease is very regular till the sixteenth year being at the rate, for the average man, of two inches year. Beyond sixteen the growth is very feeble, being for the follow ing two years about six-tenths of an inch year while from eighteen to twenty the increase in height is seldom over an inch. At the age of twenty-five the growth ceases save in few exceptional cases.

 MIR. EDITOR Your correspondent ''Z" in your last issue has wonderful elastic imagination or else you will soon need a pair of leather spectacles to decipher his writing. He says that John Flinn's men bored hole in the rocks seventy four feet deep. Now think, as the man told the boy when he said he saw 100 squirrels on limb. The man sald: think you had better take 6 or from the number, or call them 90, as it would sound better. Now, if you will take the small number of GO feet from that seventy-four, you will get very near the truth of the depth of the drill hole. M.
