4 BALLOON ATTACKED BY 4 BULL.
A balloon ascension which was made from the
Alexandria Palace, London, on the 23d ult, as
one of the features Of the Police Fete, was attend
ed by ludcrous incident. The aeronaut was Mr..
J. Morton, and he was accompanied by Mr.. Silva
nus Tanner. The balloon made very successful
ascent, and soon attained an altitude of eight
thousand feet, at which hight it passed over the
East End of London into Kent, crossing the
Thames no less than three times.
On arriving near Ethan Mr.. Morton and his
companion descended in q large meadow, and
were just in the act of letting off the gas when q
tremendous believing was heard On looking in
the direction from whence the sound proceeded q
large bull was seen rushing madly toward them.
Mr.. Tanner, appreciating the danger Of the situa-
ton, seized the two remaining bags of ballast and
threw them out of the car. The balloon at once
arose. but only just in time to escape the horns of
the Infatuated beast, who, upon seeing the balloon
out of his reach, turned his attention to the bags
of sand, which he soon scattered in all directions.
In his attack upon the sand-bags his horns came
in contact with the grapnelrope, and the shock,
releasing the grapnel. enabled the balloon to get
free, and at the same time threw Mr.. Morton, who
was attending to the grapnelrope, out Of the car.
Fortunately he managed to clutch the netting,
and, with the assistance of Mr.. Tanner, succeeded
in regaining the before they had assembled
many hundred feet. The royageurs, not at all
sorry to get away from the vicinity Of Taurus,
sailed away about a mile and finally landed in
safety. The balloon was new and brightly color
ed, and this circumstance perhaps led the bull to
regard it with antipathy.

From the Truckee. New, Republican.
Race Between a Deer and a LO-
connective.

An exciting scene took place last week in the
long snow shed this side of the summit. AS the
eastern bound freight train had just emerged
from the tunnel the eng ineer saw a deer some way
ahead on the track. The frightened animal was
flying before the engine at a breakneck speed,
and the attention OF all hands was Immediately
called to the fact. The whistle began screaming.
and then followed highly exciting scene. There
was no alternative for the pursued and timid ami
NAL but to keep straight on down the track. The
gloomy cavern formed a narrow race track, and
the fitting openings through which the cleaning
light entered added to the wildness Of the adven-
ture. For over half mile the engine rushed on
ward toward its victim. For q time the result
seemed almost certain; the pursuers gained stead
lily on the pursued. The deer never left the track,
but sped onward as straight as an arrow. The
game was almost within the clutch Of the iron
horse, and 10 a few moments would have laid
mangled beneath the wheels. The brakes were
looscDed and full steam applied, when just ahead
. small opening, caused by last winters heavy
snow, was seen by the frightened animal. Like
dart it shot through it and up the steep side OF
the rocky mountain, while a shout of good
natured disappointment went up from the crew of
the train.

In spite of the hopes and predictions of demo-

and every county in the State, from present ap-
pearances gave Governor Conner q majority.
The republicans gained everywhere, and the vic
tory is a sweeping one. The result was one which
there was every reason TO expsct, and it shows
not only the ardor with which the republicans are
entering into this campaign, but that the party Is
still intact. At no time since 1860 has Name done
better for the republican party, and the achieve
ment of yesterday virtually decides the Presiden-
tial contest. Tue desire for change, upon which
the democrats depended for success, evidently has
not taken possession of the republican majority,

The returns from Maine this morning
will be very comforting reading to repub-
licans, and after they have been run
through the lightning calculating machine
they will probably afford consolation
also TO the democrats. There seems to

republican ticket 10 most Of the towns. on

lieve, however, in the pre-Noachin period
there were some elections in which the re-
publicans did not leave grease spot
of their opponents, and, compared with
hese times in the remote and shadowy
past, the democrats have made some gains.
The substantial fruits OF victory are ours,
If course. The bolt on congressman
amounted to very little, and all the repuh-
lean candidates are elected by good ma
iprities. The governor. the Legislature

The conduct of the campaign on the

to arousng the political enthusiasm of the
people by means of public addresses
and parades. This plan has only the dis
advantage of exciting the other side to
greater activity, but of that the democrats
cannot complain. 1t left them to use their

Strange Freak of q Lunatic.

Postmaster General Jewell a few
days ago received a complaint from a
person living in the West to the effect
that he had sent out large number of
letters, many of them very important,
and in no instance had any of them
been received at it's destination. At the
same time the writer furnished the
Postmaster General with a list OF two
hundred names, which included those
of the persons to whom the missing
letters were said to have been direct
ed. A careful search was made, and
not one of the names given was
found on any dead letter. The writer
was so informed when he supplemented
the first list With an additional one
covering four hundred names, but not
one of which could be found. He was
so appraised, when he sent third list,
with eight hundred names. Postmaster
General Jewell gave orders to have the
search continued, but in the mean time
addressed a letter to the postmaster
nearest the home of the writer, and was
soon informed that his correspondent
was lunatic who was indulging in one
of his freaks at the expense of the Post
office Department.

Joyce Once in the Lexington Insane
ASYLUM.
From the Lexington, KY, Gaze

From the Lexington, KY, Gazette.
DR.. Chipley, for 80 long a time in
charge of the asylum for the insane il.
this city, but now living at Cincinnati,
paid us visit last week. While speak
ing of whisky irregularities, he said
that what had surprised him most,
was that Joyce had not pleaded
insanity. He then went on to
explain that John A. Joyce had at
two different periods of his life been in
che insane asylum under treatment
while he was in charge. The first time
Joyce was only about nineteen years of
age. After a residence of several
months he was discharged, but after
the lapse of several years was again
brought back and again remained for a
considerable period before he was pro-
nounced in fit condition to be at large.
We presume there can be no question
as to the identity of Joyce, as Chipley
is an accurate man in his information,
and knows the history of tie asylum
from it's beginning.

Rich Gold Discovery in Australia.
MaIhourna Aro1a

The most important discovery ever
made in connection with gold mining
in this colony, with the exception of the
original discovery of gold in 1851, oc-
Cured here on the 11th of September.
It is the finding in the shaft of the
Magdala Company, at Pleasant Creek
or, as it is now called, Stawell-of a
gold bearing quartz reef at the un-
precedented depth of 1851 feet, or about
700 feet further into the interior of the
earth than gold has ever yet been OBJ
tanned in Victoria. The managers OF
the Company, since they struck the
reef, have gone on sinking so as to as
certain the thickness oft in their claim,
and they have passed 10 feet without
as yet having gone through it. Some
specimens of the stone have been sent
to the School Of Mines at Ballarat.
These specimens, weighing altogether
1O4 pounds, were treated by two
different processes, the result being
at the rate of - dwt. II or. per ton of
or. by the other. Four other re-
suits which were obtained showed
much richer quality of stone, but as the
stone tested in those cases was taken
from higher portion of the lode, and
above the mullock base, it is thought
probable that the upper and lower por-
tions of the lode may be much richer
than the centre.
The directors have decided to break
off good sized block of the stone and
send it to the Philadelphia Exhibition,
with sectional drawing of the shaft
and the different strata passed through.
