Wednesday afternoon, the 3rdi Miss
! Ada |. Mitchell Mrs. Z. G. Nandeyeerl
made balloon ascension from Rutland
where the annual county fair was being
held. and Wednesday night landed IN q
| large spruce tree on the top OF Rochester
mountain after a perilous voyage in the
airy deep. Fastening the balloon 10 the
I tree, she climbed TO the ground and walk
ed some ways in a dense fog in quest OF
house; but instead of proceeding IN
straight direction, she wandered IN cir
Gle and returned to the balloon. Starting
second time, she kept beside sinai
brook and travelling over fallen trees anC
| through boys came at last to clearing
and soon after reached the home OF Mr.
and Mrs. George Turner and their SON IN
law, MIR Nye. These people kindly tool
her in ana after supper, three boys OF tn
family went back with her TO look for TN
balloon; but though they hunted for
until late, they were unable to find IL, ant
Mrs. Vandeveer, leaving directions to hav'
the airship found, boxed and sent TO her
was driven to West Randolph and tool
the train for Rutland. Her arrival IN tina
city was ioyfully welcomed; for wilt
wind was blowing when the ascension
was made, and her husband having re
ceived no news from her, was greatly wor
ried. Both MIR. and Mrs. Nandeveer ar
professional aeronauts, and during tn
summer he has taken over hundred trip
in the airship, which is of his own manu-
facture, and his wife fifteen. As sooi
as she reached Rutland, the lady was tax
en- at once to the fairgrounds and, on be
ing introduced to the audience, gave de
scription of her tour. Owing to the gale
she found it difficult at first to make gooS
start, and had no sooner left the grounG
than she noticed that two of the thre
bags OF ballast had slipped out of tn
basket. Thus lightened, the balloon sho
upward and to the north at great speed
which constantly increased as it reached
the higher currents of air until II wen
whizzing through space at the rat
OF a mile a minute. Nearing the clouds
she ascertained by pocket aerial barome
ter that she was 1000 feet above the earth
The ship then entered fierce whirlwiDS
and pitched and swayed so violently tina
the aeronaut came near being thrown iron
the board on which she was standing. i
grew very cold and there was damp chill
in the air which numbed her hands unit
there was hardly any feeling left in them
How long she was in this storm she did no
know, but thought it probably only feE
seconds though il seemed much longer
A sudden blast of wind now struck the TOT
of the balloon, upsetting it so quickly tina
she lost her hold OF the ring around lie
waist, and the last bag of ballast went ov
erboard. With lbs pounds less weight
the balloon mounted upward like light
ming, and in few seconds glided iuto
clear atmosphere flooded with sunshine
The air was still cold but the dampnes
had disappeared, and she began TO fee
warmer and more composed. Once out o
the clouds, she again consulted the ba
rometer and discovered that she was at al
altitude OF s, 600 feet. After sailing steadi' J
