FORTY-THREE YEARS AGo.
A Norwich Woman the First Lad,
 Aeronaut in the Countrv

A Norwich Woman the First Lady
 Aeronaut in the Country.
 Forty-three years ago last Tuesday, on the 18th of January, 1855, Mrs. Lu- cretia Bradley Hubbell, of Franklin street, this city, made balloon ascen- sion at Easton, Pa. The papers at the time were full of the story; for in those days the world had not become accus- toned to the achievements of the New Woman. and as Mrs. Hubbell proudly states, she was "the first lady aeronaut in the country"
 The ascension was made in a beauti- ful silk balloon purchased from the Crystal Palace company, and which was named "The Industry of All Ma tions.'' Mrs. Hubbell was not then married, and was engaged in giving a series of nightly lectures on phrenolo- gy. It is interesting to hear her tell of the circumstances which influenced her to risk a journey to the clouds-a pre- monition that such trip was allotted her, that she would make it in perfect safety, and, as she says, she went for pleasure, and for the longevity 1t gave in expanding the lungs"
 Thirty thousand people had congre- gated in Easton to witness the ascerI- sion. The weather was cold, and al- though the feeling Of security and ela- tion was delightful, as the great silken sphere shot upwards, the courageous passenger in the car found her hands becoming benumbed with cold. At last she was forced to lift the bags of bal last with her feet and to unite the knots with her teeth. This was the only un- pleasant feature of the journey. She was absolutely without fear.
 The ascent was made at Il a. m, The balloon stayed up twenty minutes. When an altitude of three miles had been attained the balloon burst; but by the happiest chance the silken rem nants formed a sort of sail, and the fair and fearless aeronaut was waited fully eleven miles before the car descended with cruel force in a New Jersey clover field. Even then she landed upon her feet, and although there was wild skurry of horsemen and other specta- tors of her aerial flight to her rescue and although there were those in the mad rush who offered bets as to her probable death, she came out of the
