 -One of the curious incidents of the past week was the landing of the balloon sent up " ith young woman Tn it from New Mill ford on Friday last The ba lloon came down in field a little to the northwest of Mir. Amos Bentons, and neither that nor it's oc cupant were injured in the least. It was 45 minutes coming from New Milford, and the young woman says it rose at one time to the height of t5ree miles above the earth as ap- peared from the barometer. As soon as she landed she let two carrier pigeons fly with news of her whereabouts and safe arrival, and who no doubt returned at once to New Mil 
 will be used for future ascensions.
