PROFESSOR GRIMLEY made a very success
ful ascension from st. Adams, Saturday
His balloon, Columbus" in which he
made the ascension from this place one year
ago, was filed with gas from the village
maDufactory At the proper time the pro-
fessor and Charles A. Owler entered the
basket and the ropes were cut, but the
weight was too great and the balloon would
not rise Lunch and baggage were thrown
out, but all to no purpose, and Mr.. Owler was
informed that it would be necessary to leave
him behind, to his great disappointment.
The balloon, thus relieved, rose almost per-
pendicularly for several hundred feet, and
then sailed away to the north with its soli-
tary passenger. Professor Grimley did not
care to make long trip alone and soon
prepared to descend. Mr.. Owler and George
B. Walton of this place, who were watching
the aerial navigator from the roof of the
Central depot, after marking his course, Sc
cured double team and started out to meet
their friend. BY inquiring of farmers, they
were enabled to trace the course so accu-
rately that they came upon the professor
soon after he landed. When they reached
the spot the air-ship lay across a fence with
the car upon one side and the balloon on the
other. Professor Grimley was holding open
the valve to allow all the gas to escape, and
was hidden from view by the great bag.
He had landed about five miles from st.
Albans, in East Swanton, in a lonely part
of the town and was feeling little blue,
and his surprise and delight, on hearing the
shouts of Messrs. Owler and Walton, were
more than he could find words'to express.
He was assisted in packing up the balloon
and taken back to st. Albans and Saturday
night he came to Montpelier to spend Sun.

The Presbyterian church In the United
States has membership Of $4,000, 20,-
G02 elders and 100000 scholars. BY far
the most efficient work yet done in Egypt
in the cause OF Christian missions has
been by the American Presbytorlnns and
Ia this work the United Presbytenans
have been most effectively represented.
In Cairo, the headquarters Of the mission,
they own property to tho extent Of $780,

LIpnoN AND noLLINaI.n.

Canon liddon, who Is one of the church
men who can sec nothing but evil as the
result Of disostabllshment, quotes from
a conversation he had some short time
since with the famous German divine,
DR.. Dolllnger, in justification of his
views. DR.. DolllngGr thinks that the dig
establishment Of the Church Of England
would be disastrous to Christianity aud
civilization because It would be inter-
prcted as meaning that the most advanced
Of the nations had gone back upon the
cross. II Is noteworthy that the snmc
view has been expressed by DR.. Newman
and other prominent English Catholics.
