"A "balloon show has been TAX
ing in our neighbors Of Clarion and
Armstrong Counties. We encounter
ed the show at Tylersburg on Monday
last, and from our observations while
there, assisted by reports of their OPP
erations while at Edenburg and Elk
City, we feel justified in saying that
the members of this gang are as pre-
ciOus a set Of rascals as ever cut
purse or robbed till. We have read
of several parties being victimized at
Elk City, and saw two men at Tylers-
burg who claimed that their money
had been taken from them while in the
show, by members Of the troupe, who
had little games which they (the vic
tims) didn't even bet on. One Of the
parties was trying to get justice from
a-justiee of the peace out there when
we left. The plan Of operations is to
advertise free balloon ascension, aud
to mention nothing about the show in
connectiolf>therewith, and thus to gath.
er large crowd; then to hold the bal
loon until all present have an oppor.
tunity to patronize the show, which is
very inferior museum, and to ''rope
in" the verdant gentlemen who have
confidence in their ability to pick out
the right card, number, or whatever
else promises the surest returns. So
far these Williams have been allowed to
proceed without much trouble, but we
arc expecting daily to hear of the
"show" being destro yed and the plum
derers roughly handled. The balloon
ascension is bona tide thing and was
perf"rmcd according to contract at
Tylersburg. We give this subject an
extended notice because we are to have
a circus in town on Tuesday next. aud
because, whether with or without the
consent of the propretors, gamblers
always follow such exhibitions and
make their living by swindling those
who arc foolish enough to bet on theil
games. We would advise our reader,
to leave their surplus change at home
on that day, and to bet upon nothing,
no matter how plausible it looks. The
only safe way is to avoid everything ol
the kind.

Billy Blum has hen whose am.
bition seems to be to produce eggs rs
large or larger than Wenk's geese,
next door. He brought two of said
eggs to our office yesterday, and we
measured them. The largest one was
7}x6l inches in circumference, and
the other 74x64 inches. The two
weighed 7 ounces. A dozen such eggs
would weigh 2 pounds, 10 ounces, and
at l24 cts, the market price, would be
considerably cheaper than beef.stcak
at Is cts. per pound, and have about
the same amount Of sustenanco per

distances from Forest county which
has had tendency TO lessen the hor-
ror always felt when a friend or ac.
quaintance meets with a violent death.
But now we are called upon to ehron-
icle the death, from the effects Of this
explosive, of lifelong citizen Of For
est county, Mr.. John Allison, of East
Hickory, who lost his life on Sunday
last, near Scrubgrass.
The deceased was running light
raft OF bill-stuf down the river for Mr..
Collins part of the raft was to be de.
livered at Scrubgrass, and the raft was
tied up about mile above that place
ON Saturday evening, to lay there un-
til Monday, ms the bill could not be
delivered and rcceipted for until that
time. On Sunday morning, Allison
and a young companion called "Em."
Witherell, took a walk down the
beach to the monument, about one
fourth Of mile ahOve Scrubgrass,
which was erected to the memory of
of two men who were killed there by a
nitro. glycerine explosion a few years
ago. Near the monument Allison and
Wilherell found some old torpedoes,
some Of them being cast, and others
made Of tin. Allison picked up the
largest one, and told Witherell that
he was going to see VIII 1t it was made
of" at the same time pulling out his
knife. Witherell begged him not to
meddlo With the torpedo, and called
his attention to the great danger of
exploding it. Allison replied that lie
understood what he was about, and
commenced picking at it with his
knife, while Wiiherell walked away
a distance of twenty-five feet, as after.
wards measured. Directly after he sat
down the explosion occurred, blowing
Allison to atoms, aud Knocking With

and ears. lie also received slight

raft to in;Urm his comrades of the fate
of a alison. On their return they met
persons from Scrubgrass who had been
attracted by the explosion. Poor Al
lison's body was So Scattered and man.

him found Was that part Of one leg
between the knee and hip joints. Iii,

Oh the spot.
Mr.. Allison was about twenty-foul
years of age, and leaves a wife and
three children, to mourn his untimcly
death.
His father. f. T.. Allison, is in the
Black Hills, having started there d

Marshal's Portrait of Hampton.

There are two distinct portraits of Gov.
HAMPTON. The one issued by the champion
Portrait Company, Of Charleston, s. G., is en-
graved in line by MARSHALL, and will be Of ir,-
posing appearance, and lfe-size. There il also
print out representing the Governor. Wo
suggest that our people wait and see both pic
lures, before choosing which they will have.
Marshalls famous engravings are attracting
unusual attention. The superb large line engra-
wing of Washington, from Siuart's celebrated
oil portrait in the Boston Atbepeum-s plate
valued at ten thousand dOllars-when originally
brought cut about ten years ago, at once placed
Mr.. Marshall in the very front rank of engra-
vers, ancient or modern, meeting, both in Europe
and America, the most extravagant encomiums

even selected for exhibition ut the French Acad-
emy of Design, on hoppr accorded to none but
tho very highest works of art. 1t is, moreover
the best, indeed the only satisfactory, portrait
of Washington that exists, and is the acknowl-
edged standard "housshold engraving of him.
The late Edward Everett said Of it "The mag
nihcent engraving of Stuarts head Of Washing
ton. 1t is truly superb work" Bancroft,
the historian, writes: II have been for some
years collector Of the many different engra-
wings Of tho portraits Of Washington. This is
beyond comparison the best of them all-the
only one that is perfectly satisfactory" Mr..
George s. lIillard, the well known art critic,
says: "Were it the head of some unknown per-
son, lover of art would be glad TO have copy
of the engraving for its rare intrinsic merits,
and every American should be ready to make
some sacrifice In other ways in order to possess
so satisfactory representation Of Washing gton."

Missouri ARoUsED.-The popular
branch of the Missouri Legislature passed,
Monday, the 9Th Of March, the following
resolution, bya vote of 65 to A:
Resolued, That the Adjutant General of
the State of Missouri be instructed to hoist
at half mast the flag of the United States,
as betokening the absolute humiliation of
the American people, who stand to-day the
cowardb representatives ofa government
once honored and admired by the civilized
globe, now disgraced and sunk in the in
iquity and corruption Of its rulers that
after this date new design should be given
to the American flag. embcdyng the true
idea of our political system as reflected in
the wonderful machinery Of bayonets, sub
sidiary laws, returning boards and electoral
tribunals; that the government of Wash
ington and Jefferson ceased last Friday,
and that we arc now entering upon an ad
ministration that knows no law but force,
no policy but corruption, no virtue but for
gerry.

OVER TIE FALLS OF NIAGARA.-About
noon last Monday man passed through
the upper gate Of Prospect Park, Niagara.
Falls, and walked along the bank to point
just below the "tail.race" that empties into
the river. One of the guides, who 'follwed
him to tell him where he could get the best
views, was astonished to see him wading
ont into the rapids. "Come back, you fool,
you will so over the falls !" The stranger
paid no heed TO the warning, but throwing
himself forward on his face struck out for
the brink of the cataract. Just below
where he entered there was small cascade
over which he was carried. When he en-
erged his hat was off, and moment later
he obtuined foothold in the rapids. and
stood waist.deep in the foaming waters
The guide was by this time at Prospect
Point, wither he had hastened in the hope
of being able to reach the man. The strau-
ger, standing in the rapids, instantly struck
out again, swimming Justify out further
from the shore, and successfully placing
himself beyond the aid of the man on the
bank. He clasped his hands over his head
and went down to his death This suicide
is as extraordinary as that Of the Canadian
chemist, near Detroit, who two days before
had ended his life in order to test the eff
cacy of resurrection powder.
