Terrible Fall.
Especial Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.l

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Dennocratl
PAXTON, I'LL, Sept. 24.-A serious ac-
oident occurred at the Paxton Fair
Grounds on Saturday that is quite likely
to result in the death OF Mr.. Geo. Win
throp, Of Ell Paso, Ill. He was making
an ascension in large hot-air balloon,
owned by Messrs. Foxwell u Potter,
when. at the height Of about five hum
dred feet the balloon burst with q loud
report, and at once began to fall The
resistance of the air at first formed the
top OF the balloon into sort of para
chute, which partly checked, its rapid
descent, but as it gathered velocity the
canvas was not able to stand the strain,
and it tore into two parts. Then, there
there being nothing to check il, it came
down like a cannon ball.
AS soon as Mr.. Winthrop heard the
bursting of the balloon he Jumped out of
the basket and hung by the hoop that
the basket is attached to, until he was
within about fifteen feet or the ground,
when he let go and at the same time
kicked the basket from under his feet,
SO as to fall clear from it. He
that he was buried nearly to the knees
in the soil. As there was but little wind
the balloon was not carried out Of the
Fair Ground, and in a moment it was
surrounded, and the unfortunate man
taken tut-trom under il, perfectly insen-
sible. His rose was broken and FORE
head cut open by the hoop OF the balloon;
his back is badly hurt, and the doctors
think he is badly injured internally.
Up to 12!30 Sunday motning he was
unable to move. but could converse a
little. The balloon was a new one,
made in cincinnati, it being the third
time it was ever in the air, 80 the blame
Of the bursting could only be laid to the
manufactured, he having made one Of
the seams so narrow That it was unable
to stand any strain without raveling.
In size it was seventy-dve feet from the
basket to the top and one hunared and
Twelve teet in circumference.

A HAPPY FAMrLY.-A gentleman traE-
ago, witnessed singular association of
incongruous animals. After dinner the
landlord OF the inn placed ON the floor a
large dish of soup and gave loud whis-
tie. Immediately there came into the
room large mastif, an Angora cat, an
old raven, and remarkably large rat,
with bell around its neck. They all
four went to the dish, and without dis
turbing each other fed together, alter
which the dog, cat and rat lay before the
fire, While the raven hoped about the
room. The landlord. after accounting
for the familiarity Of these animals, in
formed his guest that the rat was the
most useful Of the four, for the noise he
made completely freed his house from
the rats with which it was infested.

OUR "sister Republic," Mexico, has
Just closed her Presidential election,
and her Congress has declared IEJADA
to be the lucky man. He has according
Iy assumed the duties of the Presidency,
and has appointed his Cabinet officers.
But quietude has not followed this re-
suit, There are two revolutionary
Richmonds III the field against President
TEJADA, Mendez, soldier Of some
prominence, and the revolving Diaz,
with whom revolution is chronic and
constitutional. Both of these dis
affected patriots have taken to arms
with such followers as they could COM
mapd, and have arrested several mem-
bers of Congress and kidnapped num-
ber of the more prominent supporters OF
the Government. They have changed
their base since their late attempt at
revolution on the Rio Grande, and now
operate on the Pacific side. Mexico is
in a sad condition, and probably always
will be till "Uncle Sam' takes her in
out Of the cold.

He wanted her (says the Danbury

parents. So he went into the room
where they were and modestly stated

after he had finished. #

vent eagerness, 'I love her with all my

What a Texas Acre OF Land Pro-
duced,
[From the Indianapolis People
AUSTIN, TEXAS. SCI. I1, 1y

.t-. AUSTIN, TEXAS. Sept. II, 1875.
My DEAR MR.. REED-Enclosed L fur.
nish you with an item of what has been
done on one acre Of land in Brazoria
County, and can be cultivated to the
same effect throughout the entire coun-
ty and Il greater portion OF the State. A
field OF corn was planted In January,
and, with twice blowing, produced six.
ty-seven bushels of corn, the market
price being 80 cents, making total Of
$33 30. On this same ground, after pull
ing up the stalks SO as TO get them out
of the way OF the mower, was reaped
one ton of a natural growth OF Wheat,
known as bottom grass.
After reaping once they burn the soil.
and up springs another ton Of the same
bottom grass hay that commands $15 per
ton, making for the hay, $50; sixty-sey-
en- bushels Of corn, $58 80; total, $63 50.
less cost Of planting, interest on invest
ment, wear and tear of machinery.
$12 80, leaving net profit of SOL per
acre. These figures may look enormous,
but it has, and can be done OH almost
every acre of the mentioned section,
and the lands can bepurchased for from
$15 to $35 per acre.
In my next | will give you a few facts
ON stock raising, equally as astonishing.
Yours, A. A. CARYIN.

CURIOUS LAwSUIT.-Tbe Springfield
{ Me.) Reporter gives an account OF a
funny lawsuit in that town, brought in
the name of the estate OF Ira Bracket
against ohm Ii. Powers, for assault and
battery on boy named George A.
Bfaekett. Ira Bracket, the grand
father, wanted the boy Georges hair
cut, and told the barber to cut it as short
as he could over the comb. 1t was done
so, but that was shorter than they
thought for, SO he brought suit for dam
ages. The family make the boy eat with
his hat on, because they can't bear his
looks at the table, and don't send him 10
school, for the boys will laugh at him.
No malice was SHOWN, and the barber

FRbM all quarters OF the land come
sounds Of activity and signs of business
revival. The symptoms which we had
noticed some time since, and which we
had pointed out in our columns as indi-
eating the restoration OF business activ-
ity, have been steadily growing stronger
and stronger in their manifestations,
until now the fact of renewed prosperity
has come to be established in the public
mind. Even those who doubted and
feared are now convinced Of the cer-
tainty OF new condition OF things
in the trade and industries OF the
country. They see the markets
OF our cities crowded with substantial
buyers; they see the manufactures once
m ore arouse and active and overfloWing
with orders; they see all our lines OF
transportation burdened with over
wbelming freights, and crowded with
business travellers. Money is in abund.
ance at the call OF good security, and is
finding its way in steady stream to
the hands of farmers and other pro-
dueers i'll the purchase of products the
most abundant the land has ever known.
