The Board of Supervisors met yesterday afternoon, Supervisor Tweed, presiding. Supervisor Purpy offered the following resolutions:— Whereas, The Legislature of the State of New York, its last passed an act substituting a paid fire -ciently protected the ty of our county; and where- ‘as, sult act has been declared by the. Court -constilutional and a legal enactment weal yr opinion may as to the expediency of any c! ® paid fire ent, it curry into and therofore, Reselved, Inasmuch as the Board of Estimate of the Metropolitan Fire Department have unanimousl: a requisition asking for an appropriation of ),000 for the year 1865, that the Comptroller be, and he la Tequested to prepare and submit to this Board ordinance making such appropriation, pursuant to law passed March 30, 1865. The resolution was adopted.- The following communication from the Mayor was re- ceived, and the recommendations contained in it referred to appropriate committees: — Mayor's Orvicz, Naw Yorx, July 8, 1865. ‘To Tux HonorauLe tux BOARD or pL GuyrLemen—Learning that a communication from me ‘would not be unacceptable at the annual meeting of .your honorable body, and relying on the similarity of ‘the relations which exist both between the Board of Su- pervivors and the Common Co.incil and the Mayor, Ihave concluded that such a communication could not justly be regarded as intrusive, several branches of the public administration formerly Connected with the city government are now more or Jess intimately joined to the county, and hereafter my successors inay inore freely communicate their views on the important duties intrusted to your care than if em- barassed by the entire absence of any precedent for the same. ‘The legal questions involved in the claims of the rival Boards of Tax Commissioners have been settled by the court of Qual resort, and it is a matter of congratulation that the contlict has not interiered with the placing in your hands the assessment of real and personal es- «chats within the county for your action as a Board of equalization and correction, ‘Alihough this important duty is entirely independent . of the Mayor, 1 would sugyest, as I have betore to the Commun Council, the expediency of an appheation to the Legislatore tO fix the time of making up and de- liverin: these assessment roils, and also that of your ann al nreecing, so that the corrected and equalized rolls may b> put in the hands of the Receiver of Taxes about the first of July. This would then correspond with the “od at which collections are made of the income tax “Gmposed by the federai government. The total amount of the taxuble property within the county is estimated at:— $427,260,884 181,423,471 $608, 784,355 for city and county purpos-s will make the ratio of taxation about ‘The extraordinary expenditures connected with the Payment of bounties to volunteors are fortunately ended, and your committee has made a report of their steward- ship in this matter, involving the disbursement of seve- ral iill.ous of dollars, Under the pledges made, I con- gider that our local authorities are still bound to proyide for the widows and orphaus of those who have fallen in tho war im case adequace relic’ is not afforded for the apport of the destitute by the United States. Kefore your next annual meeting the spacious edifice in tho Purk desyned for a county court house will b completed. It will be highly ornamental; and, by af- ford ng the courts of justice ‘suitable accommodation: Will tend to mereago ahat respect for law which should pervade the im nds of the peopie, T would suggest that the coroners be authorized, in all --€ases where bodies on which inquests are held are not idenuitied, to cause photographs of the features to be taken und descriptions made, and that the clothes and articles found thereon be deposited in some suitable place for examinat.on. Ths, together with the establishment by the Loumass.oners of Ciuuritios of an institution simi- Jar to thas of the Morgue, at Paris, would probably tend to the {identification of many unfortunate victims of crime or ae¢.dent whose fate might otherwise be involved in mystery. During the last session of the Legislature the Fire Do- _ Partment was disconnected with the city organization and placed under a board of Commissioners, and its ex- penses to be paid out of the county treasury. 1 confess my sympathies were with the voluntcer: system; for it is impossible to avoid the influence of long cher- isucd associations and the friendships formed under that the noble manner .in which the firemen have behaved, their submission to law, and cheerful and imous discharge of d:.ty have won the respect of all classes of citizens. The annual expenses of the paid department, according. to the estimate submitted to your honorable body, wiil be about seven hundred and fifty thousand. In my opinion such expenses should cither bz assessed on tmsurance companies or else the county should be- come underwriter for all property destroyed by tire, and be reimbursed by a tax on the vaiue of all buildings and movabie property within its limits. ‘The requirement that all boards of commissioners or public depariments supported out of the county treasury should report their proceedings to your honorable body is very proper, and it may be found expedient to confer docr_used powers of supervision und control to check any unadvised or extravagant expenditure by the same. At present they either act independently, or the power of Tevising their estimates is contined merely to sending them back for recons deration, when, if the demands made on the public treasury arv adhered to, they become ‘nai and cone usive, ‘To your .onorable body as representing not only the people, but uw.e property of the county, as the special instruimen: tor raising the means of ‘carrying on the Jocal ,overniment and the custodean of the same, I can- nut too caruestly recommend a strict adherence’ to the ‘Cardinal virtue 0. economy, Without which the approba- tion of your constituents cannot be here C. GODFREY GUNTHER, Mayor. ‘The quarterly report of the Comptrolier was received, and showed the amount of the expenditure of the county for the last quarter, ending June 30, to bo one million Bix nunured aud sixty-one thousaud six hundred and g@.xwen dollars and eighty-five cents, ‘A bill of A.

THE STREET SWEEPERS’ STRIKE. Another Meeting—Opposition to the Con- tract Continued—Speeches, Reports from the Wards, &e. The Cartmen and Laborers’ Association held another meeting yesterday at 76 Prince street, to express their determination not to work at cleaning the stroets for the present contractors at the wages they offer. The rooms of the building in which the meeting was held were crowded by a large delegation representing the bone, sinew and industry of all the wards in the city. There ‘was no abatement of enthusiasm, and at this meeting Jubilant spirit of triumph seemed to prevail. Joun Lyxcu, the President, stated that Mr. Rylie, the President of the Workingmen’s Union of Elizabethport, New Jersey, was present and would addreas the meeting. Mr. Rytre then came forward, and stated that four weeks ago the workingmen of Elizabethport employed on the docks struck because of a reduction of five cents an hour in their wages. There were seven hundred of them, without organization. They began and organized. They had not a dollar, but they had the public sympathy. One of the bosses had made one hundred thousand dol- lars in a fow years out of the men; but they all refused to hear any complaints about high prices or injustice. The men held a meeting. They held out. The bosses paid two hundred dollars to get the men drunk on the Fourth of July, to get them into trouble; but they could not succeed, The men held out, got up a meet- ing, and showed that they could neither be bullied nor coaxed out of their rights. ‘The bosses at last gave way. To-day the bosses gave the full wages again, and the men went to work. Capital must have its rights, so must labor. (Applause.) ‘You will see men opposed to you to-day in your favor about electton times; but don’t forget them. Your streets are dirty; you must continue your hard work of loafing. Lepauneen) Your struggle is the Waterloo of New York and the country. Hold on and you will triumph. Woe will assist you with money if necessary. Perform your duty. We will give you seven hundred dollars a week to assist you. (Cheers). Joun Fixyx, also of Elizabethport, spoke of the victory of labor at that place. The desire now is to encon! those who are engaged fighting the battle in New York. Srapaex Muyx, of Now York, said he sympathized heartily with what the laboring men are now doing. How long will you suffer monopolies to crush you? Wo behoid monopoly trying to degrade the ldboring influence, which is the strength and wealth of the nation. Thero is great inconsistency existing and growing in the coun- try, that is, the sophistry and lies and the acts of the monopolies. We can thwart their designs, and the time 38 coming when they will hail you with “My good fellow, come in and have something to drink.” (Laughter.) They promise you situations about election time, when they knew they cannot nor do not want to fulfil their promises. Are you going to become the slaves of those who insult you with indignity? Your's is honest worth. You are going to do nothing of the kind. (Cries of poke “No.”) The ue pal ape is with you, and in forty-eight hours it will speak triumph to you in thunder tones. Let your motto be “Our rights, we must and will have.” Do only what is worthy of good citi- zens. Remember your enemics at the proper time. Give them their just deserts with compound interest. You are citizens of this republic, and hereafter glorious shall be the record of your acts this bright July day. Be true toeach other and yourselves; be firm in ir purpose, and the timo is at hand when you will exc “We are triumphant.”” The PrestpeNt announced a petition to the Commis- sioners for street cleaning, handed to them yesterday, asking them to make arran, for cleaning the streets, and setting forth that they ere now filthy to such a degree as to endanger tho health of the city. Several hundred names were nded to the petition. The president also stated the contractors have al ly violated their contract in id that the Board of Aldermen have Health. ‘@ will see now whether he will or not, and remember it hereafter, Cs of “We will.) He called atiention to the cards published by the contractors, and denied them in every particular. They are down now and they must stay down. Don't get discouraged. (Cries of *‘No.’”) Show no weakness—be men. They cannot make us work. (Laughter.) We are not working, and we are not going to work if it takes a year to try us. We are not going to be beat. They have the work to do, and we will Seo that they do it. We are not led by politicians; we are led by ourselves. (Applause.) MicuakL Mooysy said the contractors thought they could divide us. But time is showing them whether we are divided. They are shaking now. The Secretary read a list of men who were not paid under the Hackley contract, to show that there is no cer- tainty of payment when working for contractors. The Paxsipent stated that the contractors are putting lime on the filth to preserve it. (Laughter.) Men aro now engaged with revolvers protecting tho carts. One of ‘the men isan officer of McCunn's court. Are these the men who are employed as court oflicers? Other speakers followed, showing that the contractors are not fulfilling their contract, The reports showed that five carts were working in the Sixth ward, two in the Seventh, two in the Eighth, three in the Fourtcenth, three in the Sixtecnth, three in the Eighteenth, a few in the Twentieth, seven in the Twenty-second, and none in any of the other wards, Afier another address the meeting adjourned till four o'clock this afternoon.

AN ARMY OEFICER GARROTED AND ROBBED BY HIGH- + WAYMEN—TWO OF THE ALLEGED ROBBERS AB- RESTED. Lieutenant George H. Groon, of the Thirty-fifth regi- ment United States infantry, stopping at Lovejoy’s Hotel, Park row, started uptown on Sunday afternoon, and visited various saloons and drinking places in the Eighth ward, About nine o’clock in the evening Wm. Wiggins, Thomas Knox and one or two others whose acquaintance he had made in his rambles, started up Greene street with him, and when near Spring, Knox, it is alleged, seized the Lieutenant by one arm and Wiggins by the other, whereupon a third man placed his arm about” Mr. Green's neck and choked him violently. Whie thus held Knox stole five hundred dollars in Treasury notes and a check for seventy-five dollars from the inside coat ket of Mr. Green, and passed it to an accomplice. ¢ victim was then’ released, immediately after which the highwaymen fled, Elizabeth Jost and Eliza McCoy, who had witnessed the robbery throughout, gave the alarm, when officers Christie and Glynn, of ‘whe Eighth precinct, pursued and arrested Wiggins and Knox, but their accomplices escaped with the stolen money. The prisoners were taken before Justice Dodge and com- mitted for trial without bail. ‘Wii is twenty-one aM Re thirty-one years of age. both deny their gu SURPRISE OF YOUNG BURGLARS—THEIR FLIGHT AND ARREST.

Suspecting that theso youths were abroad at that hour of the morning for no good purpose, Sergeant ‘Webb advanced upon them, when they started up and fled down Twenty-third street. After running several blocks the Sergeant and officer Grossick overhauled and arrested the fugitives, who were takem to the station house and locked up. On making an examination of the store of Mr. Henderson indications were discovered that the prisoners had attempted to break open the front door, after having failed in an effort to force open the shutters of arear window. In possession of tho boys were found ten skeleton keys, two pairs of nippers, a lock pick and a fuse three feet in length, used in blowing open safes, &c. Justice Dodge declined admitting the prisoners to bail, and they were accordingly committed for trial. BRUTAL ASSAULT—BITING OFF A LIP. James Dunden and Michael Flanigan became involved in a quarrel on Sunday night, when Dunden, as charged, knocked Flanigan down, and, jumping upon him, seized his under lip between his teeth and bit off a portion ot it, thereby disflguring him for life. Dunden was arres' by officer one of the Sixth precinct, and Justice Ho- gan committed him for trial in default of $1,000 bail. ‘The accused is a tailor, forty-eight years of age, and lives in Mulberry street, ATTEMPT AT WIFE MURDER. Mrs. Fannie Miller, who has been confined in the New York Hospital since the 30th of May last from the effects of a wound of the throat, said to have been inflicted with a razor in the hands of her husband, Charles Miller, had 80 far recovered as to be able to leave her bed, when yes- terday afternoon she appeared before Justice Hogan and preferred a charge of felonious assault against her husband, who has been in custody since the time ho attempted to murder her. The parties lived at 209 Canal street, and on the night in question Miller came home and told his wife that he intended to kill her. He then pushed her over on the bed and drew a razor across her throat, inflicting a wound which it was then feared would prove fatal. Justice Hogan committed Miller for trial without bail. He was born on the ocean, and is a blacksmith by trade. A CONFIDENCE OPERATOR—HE CONFESSES HIS GuILr. For several months past, it is charged, Albert E. Gris- wold, an alleged confidence man, has been operating in this city and elsewhere, and in some instances, jt is said, he has succeeded in obtaining money. In February last Griswold, it is alleged, passed two forged or worthless cbecks, amounting to $70,.upon Mr. Calvin Farnsworth, of the New Haven Railroad depot, Twenty-seventh strect, and disappeared from that neighborhood. Yesterday Griswold retui and was arrested by officer Rork, of the Twenty-ninth ‘precinct, and on being arraigned be- fore Justice Dodge pleaded guilty to the charge of for- gery.

Sillick, a real estate agent, who lived at No, 119 East Eighty-sixth streot, arose from his bed and left the room. As he failed to return Mrs. 3. went in search of her husband, and discovered him hanging by the neck to the banistors of the stairs leading from the hallway to the second floor, by means of a small rope. Mr. Sillick was instantly cut down, but life was extinct. He had been sick with a fever and disease of the kidneys for some time past, and his friends seem to believe that he was partially deranged. No cause other than tem- porary aberration of mind is known for his committing the deed. Coroner Gamble was notified to hold an in- quest on the body. Deceased has left a widow and several grown up children. It is said that Mr. Sillick was formerly a Methodist clergyman. FATAL RESULT OF A STABBING AFFRAY. On the afternoon of the 4th instant John Callahan and Thomas Duffy had an angry altercation at the shanty of the latter in Fifth avenue, near 116th street, which re- sulted in Callahan drawing a dirk knife and stabbing Duffy in the lower part of the abdomen, inflicting @ wound from which the bowels protruded. Callahan was ar- rested by offlcer Golden, of the Twelfth precinct, and locked up. The officer conveyed Duffy to the Bellovue hospital, where he subsequently died from the effects of the wound. Coronor Gover held an inquest over the re- ins of |, when several witnesses were ex- ined. The testimony of Mrs. Duffy, who wil the fatal quarrel Uirougbeet, is given below :— Mary Duffy, being duly sworn, deposes and says—I live in a shanty in Fifth avenue, between 116th and 116th streets; on the 4th inst., about three or four o'clock P. M., Callahan came up to our house on horseback, halloo- ing, ‘Duffy, you black son of a b——h, I'll _have your life;’? deceased was in the house then; Duffy went out then, as Callahan drove up; Callahan said, “What did rou have to say about my wife;’’ Duffy asked him what it was; Callahan drove up nearer to deceased and kicked at him; he then Jumped off his and they caught hold of each other; I cannot say whethor they struck each other then or not; Callahan walked away; while foing my busband picked up a stone and threw it at him; Callahan then returned and walked up to my husband and stabbed him; I saw the knife in his hand; ft was a dirk knife, quite bright; Callahan turned to go way, but Instantly returned and clinched ; Callahan then walked away and came back - caught hold of him before he reached my husi laban threw me on my knees; he had the dirk in his hand all the time; Callahan then walked away, and I cried “murder,” and said Callahan had stabbed my hus. band, anda number of my neighbors collected around my husband; I did not sce but the one stab; I don’t know when he received the second stab; deconeed had been drunk in the morning, but was sober at the time of the difficulty with Callahan; I don’t know what was the origin of the difficulty, other than I heard they had a fow words some time previous.

SPORTING. The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. 1.—TROTTING. A trotting match for five hundred dollars, play or pay, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, came off yes- terday afternoon, between Mr. Douglas’ black mare Brooklyn Maid, and Mr. Christian's b. g. General Corco- ran, The attendance was small, most of the trotting men having gone to Saratoga to attend the trotting meet- ing which commences at that place to-day. Those who were at the Union were principally residents of Williams- burg, who were attracted to the trot by both horses be- longing in that town, and were al! more or less interested in the issue. Brooklyn Maid won in three [straight heats. ‘These two horses trotted for a purse and stake on the 4th instant, whieh Corcoran won; but the owner of the mare not being satisfied with the result challenged the owner of Corcoran for another trial, and being accom- modated, the “honors are easy.”” between the e horses will very likely be made. First Heat.—Brooklyn Maid was the favorite at two to one. She won the pole, and, giving Corcoran the best of the send-off, beat him around turn, carried him to a break and led to juarter pole six lengths, in forty-three seconds. ing down the backstretch’ both horses broke up; the mare losing the least, went to the half-mile pole eight lengths in front, in 1:27. Both horses trotted steadily afterwards, Corcoran gaining gradually until within fifty yards of the score, when he broke up again, The mare won by five lengths, in 2:56. Second Heat.—One hundred to thirty offered on the mare. Corcoran took the leadat the start and went to th quarter pole two tengths in front, in forty-four seconds; and while his friends were in the finest humor at his suc- upset all their calculations by breaking up and r lengths in the rear. ie mare was five ead at the half, in 1:27; and, trotting very nicely, she came to the stand a winner by four or five lengths, in 2:53. Third Heat.—Ten to two wagered on the mare. Both horses broke up soon after leaving the score, and the mare led around the turn four lengths. She broke again before reaching the quarter pole, but passed that int four lengths ahead, in forty-four seconds. Corcoran ke on the backstretch, the mare passing the half mile tn 1:263¢ five or six lengths in front. ym there to the end there was no interest in the contest.

The match between the second eleven of the New York Club and the strength of the Orange Club, which had been postponed on account of rain, took place yesterday at Bedford, the result being a decided ,triumph for the New Yorkers; who had out # strong team on tne occa- sion and La fed a fine game. New York went to the bat first, and scored 93 runs, of which North made 39 in his usual fine style, Miller obtaining 12 and Beach 11, Tyler's 8 being the only other average score.

Hardy’s 4 being the highest run of the ianin, Being 60 runs behind their opponents, they followed their innings, but could only obtain 23 in their second innings, Stebbins’ 7 being the only average score.

The second nines of these prominent clubs of Brooklyn and New York played their first game together this season on the Capitoline Grounds, Bedford, yesterday, the result being a well-earned victory for the Atlantica, whose batting on the occasion was not only a feature of the match, but fully up to the highest mark of the cham- jon nine oftheclub. The Empires batted well also, t their outer field was not as well attended to as it might have been. Some excelient play was shown by L. Pike as catcher, and Ireland at first base, and two beautiful fly catehes were made by Flynn In basting B. Pike made tho best hit, Joo Oliver leading the scoro with ten runs. On the Empire side Symms’ play at first base was excellent, a8 was that of Russell behind and Speelman in the field. Williamson led the score at the bat. The total score was €0 to 36, GOTHAM V8.

Wright, Deputy Secretary, for the follow: ing figures, gathered from the census returns, which have | received at that office: 1865. 1863, 1,07) 900 Previously reported. «+2104, 268 The incroase, it will be scen, is nearly ton per cent. proportionate increave throughout the State will give a population of about 770,000, A good proportion of this advance may be attributed to the fact that the assessors have this year been instructed to enumerate all soldiera 04,013 from their respective townships who were supposed to be living at the time of taking the census. This fact will probably also account for the great preponderance of males now than 1863, Then the excess of males over females in the thirteen counties given above, was 750; now, as shown by the above figures, it is 1,020; in 1860, the year before the war, it was 2,571.

The Monitor regiment returned to this city on Satur- day last, and was the recipient of a dinner at thearmory of the Seventh regiment, on Saturday afternoon. The tables were bountifully spread with all the good things the market afforded, and were relished heartily by the bronzed veterans just from South Carolina. This regi- ment was recruited in 1862, in the darkest hour of the war, just after Banks had been run out of the Shenan- doah valley, and while the country was yet dismayed from the defeat of McClellan in the seven days’ fight before Richmond. The spacious armory of the Seventh regiment was crowded, fully three thousand citizens— = aon and children—being there to greet the er At four o’elock the regiment was marched in, and the men took up position al the different ttables, cager and well Drogecod for the soon to commence. The Committee of Arrangements, consisting of Hon. D. 8. Coddington, J. W. Farr, Geo, W. Beale, W. J. Valentine, W. H. Christie, A. L. Northrup, W. Wade, 8. 8. Palmer, R. 8. Cole, Isaac Hall, Rufus S. King, Captain W. How- land and D. Jacobus soon got matters in working shape, and with the help of thirty sable waiters and the kind assistance of several lady friends the tables were de- clared ready. Then, grace having been said, the gallant Monitors fell to with a will. The band of the Seventh regiment discoursed excellent music as the boys of the One Hundred and Twonty-seventh investigated the mys- tories of the “spread.’” We need not say that they en- joyed the kind treat thus provided, as, baving just arrved in a government transport from Charleston, the contrast betweon the fare on board ship and the groan- ing board before them must have bven great. AN ALLEN, Esq., the Assistant United States Dis- trict Attorney, was then introduced to the company to make the speech of welcome tothe veterans. He said the regiment ranked with those who had best done their daty in the late conflict, and they came home loaded with tho garlands of victory. They had given the names ofa Gurney and a Woodford to history, worthy leaders of a worthy band of patriots, and Gurney was here to-day wearing the double stars of & major general. A Voicr—He is only a brigadier. Mr. Auizx—I will then correct the remark with re. spect to General Gurney’s title of major general; but I will maintain the assertion respecting the double stars; for he has one upon his shoulder, and the other is the brightest a soldier can ever wear, a bullet in his arm. Loud applause. General Gurney had his arm 1n a sling, m a wound at the battle of Honey Hill.) Welcome home, veterans in the noblest cause in which the sword was everdrawn. Your march has been over the grave of slavery, and your victory isa nation disonthralled. You have’ brought back the banners given you three Zonrs ago, now shattered and torn by the shock of battle, ut they will speak all the more eloquently on that ac- count to generations to come of the heroes of this day. A thankful poopie, a grateful State, a liberated republic, welcome you back to the peace and happiness which your victorious arms have secured. Let monumental brass Perpetuato the names of the dead; let living, beating jearts, ever warm with affection, attend the Tho fathers of our first Revolution said that “ created free and equal.”” You have made them so. You marched to the front in the hour of war; it was the post of honor. Retain it in the hour of peace, and a thousand times welcome home. Mr. Allen spoke halfan hour, and was loudly applauded. Other speeches wero made by Judge Welcome R. Beebe, Dr. Burchard and other gentlemen, all of whom were applauded to the echo by veterans in the ‘army blue.” ‘The party broke up about seven o'clock in the evening, all gratified with the hearty welcome extended to our gallant citizen heroes. The One Hundred and Twenty-seventh rogiment was raised under the three year call of 1862, It was re- cruited in about two months by General W. Gurney, for- merly Captain in the Sixty-ffth regiment New York Volunteers. A large part of the regiment is from Long Island, the remainder mostly from New York city. It was mustered into the United States servico at Staten Island, on the 8th of September, 1862, and two days later left for Washington, when it was assigned to the de- fences of Washington, under General Heintzelman, General Abercrombie commanding the division and Colonel Gurney tho brigade, Tn April, 1868, the brigade was transferred to the de- fences of Suffolk, Va., under General Peck, and in July the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh ‘joined the Eleventh corps at Hagarstown, Md., and continued with it to Warrenton Junction, fighting ‘with marked success at Gettysburg. Embarked at Al proceeded to South Carolina, landing on Folly Island August 18, It remained in front of Charleston till Octo- ber 21, when it moved to Beaufort. On the 29th of No- vember it joined the expedition against the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, under Generals Potter and Hatch. The regiment took a very prominent in the battle of Honey Hill, near Grahamsville, 8. the goth of November, 1864, and in the engagements of th 9th of December, 1864, at Devaux Neck, 3. C. in the skirmish of the 29th of December, at tl place. The coast division, of which it formed a part, performed very important service as a co-operating column for General Sherman in his movements against Savannah and Charleston, Reaching Charleston a few days after its evacuation, the regiment wae detailed, by order of Goneral Sherman, for pormanent clty garrison, remaining in command of ‘the city up to the time of the regiment coming North to be mustered out. Tegiment went out about one thousand strong, with Its full complement of officers. It returns with twenty-five officers and five hundred and thirty men. THE SECOND CONNECTICUT HEAVY ARTILLERY.

On the fourth ascent, wien Professor King was accompanied by Mra, Stow, Misses Southwick, Bradstreet, Nichols and Ida Hails, the balloon shot upward with a vigorous bound, and the confining cord being suddenly snapped by the strain the @ronaut started off with his unwilling party. This un expected flight #tartled the ladies thus unexpectedly spirited away, and caused considerable alarm among ir friends oh terra firma. A gentioman hastily got a team ready, and started off in the direction taken by the receding balloon. The balloon soared to nearly as great a height as it had reached on its previous voyage (nearly two thousand feet), and descended at fifty minutes Es cight on the edge of a patch of woods in Cliftondalo, about two miles distant. Citizens of the village were soon at the #} and taking the rope attached to the car drew the bailoon triumphantly back to Melrose, which they reached at about eleven o'clock, Professor King and four of the ladies remaining in the car during the Passage.
