Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1879-06-24

An aeronaut named L'Estrange re-
Gently met with an extraordinary escape
from death in Australia. In the presence
Of thousands of spectators he made an
ascent from the agricultural grounds ON
the St. Kilda-road, in the balloon
Aurora-the same, it is said, which was
used to convey dispatches during the
Franco-Prussian war. When the balloon
had attained the great altitude of a
mile and three-quarters it suddenly col
lapsed, the gas bursting through its side:
but the parachute came into play, and,
instead Of the wreck falling like stone,
it went down in zigzag course, and
finally struck tree. Women screamed
and tainted, some fell on their knees
with their hands clasped in prayer, while
hundreds ofmen rushed into the govern
ment domain expecting to find
mangled body but to their astonishment
they discovered L'Estrange alive and
almost unhurt.

There are more than million Welsh

the Isle of Man twenty-five per cent. of
the population in 1871 understood
Manx In the same year it was COM
puted that not more than five thousand
persons could read Irish, and no news
paper was published in that language,
whereas, in 1851 there was scarcely
county in which Irish was not more or
less spoken. Now it is scarcely heard
except in the extreme west. Clare, Gal
way, Donegal, Kerry, Mayo and the
western islands are the strongholds of
the ancient language.
blind with rage" meant something
in Paris workshop one afternoon some
weeks ago. An overseer of the works,
finding that one of the men had not
finished a piece Of work which was
urgently. required, fell into such state
of fury as to strike him in the face.
Almost in the very act of striking, how
ever, he staggered back, shouting for
aid and complaining that he could not
see. The workmen came round him
with offers of assistance, but nothing
could be DONE 1t was certain that he
mad suddenly lost the use Of both his
eyes. Medical evidence showed that
some of the blood vessels behind the eye
had burst, and that the blood had flooded
the interior cavities of the eyeballs.

m crG,y sRGerry christmas !!

Yes, we say merry Christmas to
all from the bottom of our heart.
Why should it be otherwise We
are celebrating the day when joy,
light and truth we're born into the
world; the day Of all others the most
joyous to the Christian heart. It's
meet and proper that we should cele-
brate it with pnans OF JOY, and as we
make glad with affections offerings
within the family circle aud from
friend to friend, our hearts should
swell with gratitude and love for the
Great Gift which has blessed man
kind, and of which these things are
but faint and feeble symbols. Nor is
the expr ession Of gratitude enough
We must do the will Of Him who SO
loved us that he made SO great n
sacrifice for us. He has not loft us
without light, but has bequeathed t.
US an ever living example i'll His
epotless life.
May this be our guide and chart,
and MS He forgave lisreviers and
prosecutors, may we learn freely to
forgive all those who injure us. Like
Him may we bless and curse MT.
If the associations which cluster
around this day should elevate us
above the groveling things Of time
into a purer atmosphere, and fill us
with the joy which belongs to him
who has learned to keep the com
mand "to love God supremely and his
neighbor as himself" then we
have we'll said, "MEENy, MERRY
CHRIs1MAS"

for Mir. Heal, who came and after cou,-
teousiy asking the men TO take other
seats and receiving an insulting reply
from the captain, placed his hand upon
that gentiemans shoulder, when all
tLres said they wovld leave which they
did, but Afterwards endeay ored TO raise
row with the doorkeeper, when they

upon th" Captain proceeded TO the hall
and brought up Sergeants Dolau and

the case, they refused to make any ar.
