Ii has long been a source of wonder, as to
why Courtney failed to meet Hanlan in a
sculling contest. The general explanatory
argument was, that he feared the little Cana
dian. This opinion. however, is exploded by
the authentic announcement, that on the days
fixed for the race, Courtney was unable to
sit in his shell, on account of the intense itch
ing and soreness caused by the Piles. Hav-
ing recovered through the use Of Swayne's
Ointment, he now announces that he will row
Hanlan any time this Summer.

 JACKSON, Nov. 19.-The Secretary of State
 yesterday canvassed the votes in the case of H. Chalmers and Van H. Manning, candi- dates for Congress in the Second district, and decided in Manning's favor. The Governor immediately issued certificate to Manning
 The case turned upon the vote of Tate county. The tally sheets of that coun- ty declared that Manning received 1,166 and Chalmers 1,472 votes, but on the reverse side of the certificate the name was misspelled J. R. Chambers and Secre- tary of State Myers credited those votes to a fictitious candidate of that name, sustaining the returns in other counties. The vote as officially announced is Manning s,479, Chalmers s,257, Chambers 1,472, Carter 129. The extraordinary decision has created great astonishment. Chalmers has | sued out an injunction from the circuit court enjoining the Secretary of State from giving the certificate of election to Manning and also obtained mandamus, both of which were disregarded.

 A balloon accident which was very nearly attended with fatal consequences occurred near Vienna on October 22. An aeronaut named Silberer had made fourteen successful ascents from the Prater daring the summer, and yesterday afternoon attempted the if. teenth, He was accompanied by two gentle men, Messrs Letner and Schittenhelm, nel- ther of whom had the slightest knowledge of aeronautics, this being their first balloon trip. The weather was not altogether propi- tious, and whie the machine was filling M. Silberer manifested certain mIsgivings, but, being unwilling to disappoint the large crowd of spectators, and expecting the wind would fall in the course of the afternoon, he decid- ed to start He thought proper, however, to announce that the journey would be short one, as he would seize the first opportunity to effect a descent. At about half past four the order was given to let go the cords, whereupon the balloon, with it's three occu- pants, rose rapidly into the upper air, taking a northwesterly direction, which carried it over the hilly district between the Northern and Western railroads. Here the aeronaut threw out the anchor, expecting to alight without difficulty, but suddenly change of wind drove them toward the lower valley of the Danube, and regular hurricane broke out. The car was at this time within a few feet of the ground, but was hurled along with such velocity th-t the peasants, who had gathered from all directions, were unable to render assistance.
 Meanwhile the three voyagers, whose posi- tion was becoming every moment more criti cal, were jolted about in the wicker cage, thrown off their legs, and unable to handle the anchor or gas valve, their only hope of rescue. They got so unfortunately entangled that M Siberer, who alone knew how to regulate the escape of gas, had only his left arm free, and was utterly helpless. On drift ed the balloon over meadow and vineyard, tree and rock, until it's headlong course was for moment arrested by the protruding branch of huge oak. One of the balloon ists was thrown out, and had a most miracu- lous escape. receiving only few slight inju ri~s. The weight being thus reduced, the machine hurried on with the same fearful ra. pidity till it came in contact with substan- tial brick wall in which it made a large breach. It then crossed a graveyard, knock, ing over tombstones and iron crosses. One shock more violent than the rest precipitated NJ. Leitner to the ground, where he lay stnui ned by the fall having sustained severe -n- ternal and external inj ries. A minute later the balloon slackened it's speed, and NJ. Sill berer had retained sufficient strength to SC cure the anchor and to alight. They had reached the neiehborhood of Stockel eau, a small town on the Western railway, and had been an hour and half on their dangerous trip. Medical aid was immediately forth coming, and M. Silberer and his companion ere transported to the nearest public house.
