The good citizens of Buffalo have effected a tri- umph over New York, and for the time being are doubtless disposed to chuckle over it. A balloon ascension that may probably set at rest the vexed question as to whether the smoke and dust of the American Continent are continually darkening the face of the mighty Atlantic was no mean task for a elty like this, notwithstanding the prevalence of gas. Literature and science were invited to co- operate in this ascension, the HERALD’s Sky Com- missioner among the rest. The ways and means, though emanating from the few—a very select | few—purchased gratuitous excitement and grati- | fication for the many, although fifty cents a head from 50,000 bona jide sightseers would have made the credit side of the account look exceedingly prosperous, and science—abused sci- euce—could have been served all the same, perhaps. | To be sure the gasbag was not to be capable of ‘Swallowing all the fuid from a dozen gasometers, or of stretching when flattene: out at repose over pasture land sufficient to teed all the flocks of the | Patriarchs and the cattle upon a thousand hills; neither was it to contain enough seams to reach drom the lower depths to the moon and return via Japan and the North Pole, nor be made of the only two parcels of cotton that recently came over in @bree ships. An airship capabie of holding 95,000 | cubic feet of carburetted hydrogen gas was made 80 that it could be filed while the wind was blow- ing at the rate of twenty miles an hour. Ele- gance and symmetry were combined, and the re- Bult was that a strong and handsome machiue greeted the eyes of the people. But it | ‘was cotton, delicately varnished, leaving an | opaque surface over the evenly sewed seams, and subsequently taken in hand by a scenic artist, who painted in crimson and green and black, animais, scroll-work, letters and stars, until the “Buffalo” balloon was the most handsome that ever soared above all creatures here below. Pride has its own eccentricities, and the good-natured people almoat shook hands with themselves when they discovered | how splendid an “animal” they had manufactured ata cost of $1,000, Pieces of the actual material could be had alter the bag had been raised on “ita smallest pint,” as a boy remarked on the fence | while it was filling, but it didn’t cost ten cents an inch, The material was not the commonest, per- haps, nor was it prepared and varnished with tar brushes by men accustomed only to holystone decks and tar ropes, THE THREATENED HURRICANE PASSES. Old Probabilities gave us but little encourage- ment when he hung out three black flags on Mon- | day afternoon, indicating a cyclone, or sometning | ‘very near it. When the captain of the revenue cutter stationed on Lake Erie informed us that a | great many vessels were running into the harbor | for shelter we bécame fearful that our trip would have to be postponed jora few days; but, fortu- nately for us, the destructive “blow” passed con- siderably to the north of us. It seemed as though no disappointment would have resulted irom delay, | however, as the people had not been assured that the ‘show’ would take place without fail, and preparations were not made for the imfation on Monday evening, on account | of the threatened storm. At about five o’clock yesterday morning the atrostat was taken to tie open space called Terrace Park, at the corner of Chureh street, and it was agreed that, \ | ent, representatives of L. L.

AB the Mr, King, the aeronaut, the HERALD correspond- Messrs, Chester and Albro, = two the local press, and Mr. aper, were lew within the enciosure. The experience was not 170 agscensions, the Boston representative scored twenty-one, aud to each of the others it wus to be | the third atvempt at mounting the clouds. ‘weity | bags of sand, Weighing in the agvregute about 1,409 pounds, provisions in abundance, sup plied by the good citizens, ior w two days’ journey, water, bullaio robes, india-ruvber life preservers, iustra- iments And curricr pigeons were Culy deposited tu the car, which 1s Siitty to uccummodate fourtcen | persons, Above the lurge car was a t belongiag to a smailer balloon which’had been | rigged up overkead for te reception of such tinge as overcoats and spectal parcels. A hand- some basket of flowers was bow bited, much to the delight of the spectators, and as the flowers | were destined for the Voyage, they were hung up over the upper basket beneath the mouth of the Buialo, the entire weight of the car, contents and passengers Was about 2,600 pounds. THE STAN! At fifteen minutes to three o'clock all the passen- gers were in the car, and after a litte testing aud Dalancing the word to “iet go’ was given, mons shot up above the lofty Mansards of the | business places Near, and we Were soon sailing quietly above the numerous church spires, that looked savagely pointed and threatened to prick the floating bubble, As we rose there was ¢ 3 € mendous cheering by the crowd, and hat | and handkerchiefs were waving quickly, while, as it by one thundermg dealening concert, all the steamboats and locomotives wituin a radias of ten miles shrieked aud ho-hoed until the air seemed filed with sounds so devilish that pandemonium might ove considered a calm in comparison. ixed with ali this din came up the soit notes of @ bell trom a church tower near by the starting point, that seemed to float above and around us as comforting spirits, A lew papers thrown from the basket created what appeared to be a revolution beneath us, The spec- tators rushed hitner and thither, bat by the time we had reached an altitude of 4,000 feet the Park, streets and building tops were like a vast sheet of ay paper with myriads of winged victims lmmova- bly fastened thereon. It 18 probable that as we roso into the blue the people became more steady and watched us with greater interest, With so vast au area as was presented by this air vessel it can easily be tmaagimed that we rose very rapidly. In | less than four minutes from the moment when she rose from the ground we were gracefully floating | along at an altitude of 4,500 feet. But most surprising was the delightfully easy manner | in which we weit up. There was no swaying or sWioging of the cars, and as I looked up ut the immense, bulky machine above tt seemed exactly as though it had attained a position that was per- fectly stationary. There were uo sensations of | giddiness or vertigo: no hoiding on of hats; all Was a8 easy as a feather bed, and as calm as though the wind, which had all day threatened the balloon with destruction, had been entirely overcome. Floating on im perfect quictude we could hear the tumult that was Fong on below, from the hoarse hackman to the yelping dogs. ABOVE THE CITY AND GREAT LAKRS. We had now (2:52 P. M.) set our instruments properly and discovered that our altitude meas- ured 6,251 feet, or nearly a mile. ‘The excitement of departure dnd the generally handshaking had ow subsided in the car, and we Were soon lost in the beauties that were presented on every hand, On rising our course Was alwost due east, but alter travelling a few minutes we found we were oing in a direction a jittle to the south of east. jirectiy benealh us was the well-planned city of Budalo, with its magnificent outlines, its splendid avenues and lofty cuurch spires, Main street, that commences near the | and runs out through the city to Cold Spring, seemed like a dark, straight line, dividing the city, while the cross streets rep- resented the short, straight feeders to a stream. Niagara street, running more to the northeast, from Main street, was another large artery, while Dela- ware avenue—the Fiiih avenue of the piace—with its mansions, boulevards and double rows of shady trees, aiter the manner of the Boulevard des Capuctnes, seemed hemmed in between the two and played @ part in perspective vasuly inferior to the reality. But tne bird’s eye view of the city, giving the appenrance o1 large rows of tents, such as are seen wherever long armies are found, now had of the mighty lakes, Erie and Ontario, those vast inland seas of the North, wnose every wave, as it were, brings Wealth and stability to LAKE ERIF. Looking over Lake Erie to the north and north- west, as far as the eye can reach at this altitude, from the numerous grain elevators on the shore line to the far distant horizon which seems to dip into the sparkling Waves beyond, there is one vast body of water, Here the Water appears to reflect the bright ethereal above; there again the rays of the sun are dancing on the tiny waves and sparkling brilliantly While in innumerable other piuces tie separated portions of nimbus cloud floating silently aloft are Teflected ju dark spots that represented small islands. From the direction of Fort Stanley, on the Canadian sive, appear a@ number of vessels under sail, which are so small that one involun- tarily recurs to the aays when he made ships of 6 by 4.nch cardboard and rigged them with halfa sheet o! pote paper anda yard of cotton thread, Going out of the harbor to meet these are several small steam t)w-boats. To look at these from the sengers rush to the deck to see & school of irisky porpoises leaping over the Waves und dashing selves with the spray. Towards Dunkirk the aspect Was some what lorbidding. NIAGARA’S GRANDEUB. Withdrawing the gaze irom the waters of Erie and still iollowing the shore line around by Fort Porter we see the Niagara River, as it hugs the city; and, following 1t in its course, the attention most beautiful scenes in the world—the waterfuiis and ravines of Niagara, All those who bave seen the mighty torrents or heard the harmony ot waters, watchea the foaming and boiling, the dancing of the spray and the unceasing rush of the streams there, Would be struck with their grandear and Gey when viewed from ap altitude of a mile, The immense body of water falling over the precipices represented a vast, graceiully curved Neece 6! spotiess wool, and the spray was likened by ope of our party to @ fountain playing to the height of 100 feet, the bills and background being the basin to receive the foaming liquid. MAJESTIC ONTARIO, Passing over the narrow ueck o1 land, in the direc- tion of the “Queen's Dominion,” a still more en- cuanting vision greets us. Here is the broad, majestic Ontario, At this distance irom us it seems to be cov- ered by a thin, filmy biue mist, while the outline of the southeasterly shore has the appearance oi a deep, dark margin. High above we lake is foat- ing a heavy cloud, which gives the water a much darker appearance. We can distinctly see small, dark spots on the suriace, that evidently repre- sent vessels. Here, then, 18 @ panorama, une- qualled, I believe, in the world. Niagara seems like @ grand connecting link between these two vast bodies of water, and enhances their attrac- tion a hundred:soid, at least, when viewed in this way, above the earth, With the exception of buf- ‘aio Creek, which 18 truthfully christened ‘the crookedest institution on earth,” there is nothing more in the way ot water calling for comment, notwithstanding the wind then bailoon was to be flied aud an atiempt veaven- ward made at about two o'clock in the afternoon, An iron enclosure assisted the police in keeping | back the people, Who crowded around the spot | from the moment the gas pipe was applied to the neck of the vessel.

It was certaialy a grand spectacle to hehola the | bewuriul, Weli-inflated “Butalo,” erect, and surz- ing too and tro like an uneasy spirit struggling to break the bonds that veld it down to this mundane | sphere, Mr. King states that although not the | Jargest balioon in the country it is the largest oue that hus ever been put to @ practical purpose. “Buffalo,” whea filed, measured 66 fect in diameter at the largest part, and 86 feet in | height from the bottom of the car to the crown, Where tue valve Was placed. On one side a life- | sized butalo was painted, the animal appearing | anything but friendly as ue peered turough the netting at the gaping crowd. On the opposite side | nd about midway the word “Buttaio” was printed dn letters three fect in heignt. beneath this again was a work in black and green, below which @ band of deep crimson, @ foot deep, ap- peared. Beneath this again was an imitation cogiice curtain in blue, pink and green, with tassels represented in brown. The prettiest por. tion, however, was that part of the exterior which extended from the mouth of the balioov and up to Where the above-named tassels reached, This was | marked with thirty perpendicular cermine stripes, | tapering irom a fine point at the end of the neck and gradually widening as they reached the equator, where they were rounded of and in per- | spective presented the xppearance of a huge Sand- | wich isiander’s club. Tre corresponding spaces in opaque left a similar impression and gave | ‘the whole lower part of the air vessel a rich artis- | appearance.

EVPRYTHING READY. | At one o’ciock the wide spaces around the en- | clowure, became densely packed with humanity. ‘The streets, for a thousand yards in ali directions, fae @ similar appearance, while the neigh- poring city buildings, banks, warchouses and private dwellings appeared alive from sidewalk to Zoot. To oo rough” that crowd must have been an caay t w Oe light dazered frajernity, but | of heaven that | asked THE PECULIAR HORIZON. At three o'clock the barometer iudicated that we were 5,454 fect above the earth, with the ther- mometer down to 47. Scarcely had we registered these figures when we were struck by the peculiar- ity of the horizon. Ihave noticed on previous ascensions that the clouds on the horizon almost formed a circie, the euter edge of which was ona Jeve: with the car beneath the balloon. Now, how- ever, the clouds formed only about a semi-circle, the heaviest portion of the cumulus stratum being to the southwest of Erie Lake, but appearing to be below us. Mr. King called attention to this also, and expressed some surprise ut the ple- nomenon, AWay irom the horizon and up over us, in the immensity of space, the only clouds visible were gradually jorming a canopy, getting between us and the sun, and causing our captain no little concern, as he knew ne would have to pay penalty in ballast for this rise into the misty region, and balast, above ali things, he wanted to store as far as pos- sible, because on it, to & great extent, would de- pend the duration of our voyage. Hence the study of the horizon and the debate on the fauitiess arc Spread o'er rhelter’d earth Au ample roo! were cut short by tne preparing and launching overboard of the 800-foot drag rope. But the rope ame entangied, and required three of us to. clear it again, | Laxes Erie and Ontario were yet clearly visible ;, bot the falls at Magara had now assumed the ap, THE BUFFALO'S COURSE. We had now been up nearly twenty-flve min- | utes, according to the curonometer, and reached a | height of 6,134 feet, We were passing tue villages | of Chictawaga and Lancaster to the southeaat. it | | | was pertectiy natural that comment should be made as to our direction, and it soon became the question, How much are we to the south of east? Ico not know what were the expectations of my | lellow voyageurs, but I certainly thought we were | @vout to take the alleved existent trade wind to | China, Mr. King shook bis head, however, when I | him how near we might pass Brook- ivn, and merely replied that practice and | Wieory were excellent so long as the one didn’t | | | Oppose tae Other Large drops of perspiration fell from the Captain's prow as he spoke, for he had been laboring to fx the rope and ballast to prepare for the desceat that was inevitable, We all agreed, however, that we mivht possibly breakiast some: | where in South Carolina th og morning— | that is to say che chances | usin this direc. tion. | A WINGED M¥gSENGER, | AMr. Phantom Wid kinuty loaned ua four car- | Fleepireous to enable us to report progress to the | anxious citizens.

Although we could distinctly see the outlines of the city we had leit and the dense volumes of smoke ascending from it, yet all trace of locality had gone; even the church steeples had disappeared, pearance of a dusty ravine, PHYSIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. / At twenty-six minutes after three g%lock, a3 a glance at the table will show, we Yere down to within 5,354 feet o: the earth, having fallen 7sv eet m two minutes, ach of us Now experienced 2 | pecuiiar chil) avout the knees—something like | that feit when cviving on the box of a carriage on a frosty morning, without a wrapper.

I will not now enter tnto the question of tempera- meuts, although periaps it would be necessary to define these vefore this physiological datu could be made of special use, A DOWNWARD TENDENCY. The clouds standing between the balloon and the sun for such a Jength of time now began to tell on the gas, aud the aerouaut’s fears were justified; for at 728 P.M. we were Replay MuliDy, and (he first bag of ballast was sacrificed in order to check the descent, But down we came with a rush un- til, at 3:60 P. M., we were within 2,183 leet of the ground, falling 8,006 feet in twenty-two minute ‘This lad to be cheeked immediately, and the resuli was a pretty lively time in passing up the sand bags, the unfortunate cooling of of the gas causing us to lose at one time about 180 pounds of batlast. We had now reacned Batavia, and as we floated over the sparsely populated hills and valleys held communion with kindred spirits beneath us, Several female forms were visible in a little clearing, and called to us to come down, but we simply threw them out an aeronaut (not Mr. King) und passed on. Now the fun began with the natives, though I question if they did not inwardly curse us or frightening their horses, cows and chickens, which fied in great alarm at our approach, the feathered tribe being especially terrified. I ought to mention that we mistaken Batavia previously, aud were glad of un opportunity to place ourselves right on the record. We crossed the borders of the township of Marilla, and, stili sailing low, our captain greeted the first group of faimers as tol- lows :— KING—What town is this? A Voice—What? KING—Can’t you answer the question? A Vorce—Hoy, hatioa there! KinG—You fellow that said “Hoy, halloa there!” tell me what place, what town, do you live in, Echo answers, “What town do you live in?” King—Cau't you answer! . Vorcss—Marilla! Marillat Kinc—How far is it trom Buffalo? A VoicE—Thirty-flve miles. Kinc—What village is that to the back of you? A VoiceE—How lar are you going? Kino—We are going as iar as we can. A Vorck—Bully tor Buffalo! YoroR FROM THE BALLOON—Oome up and take a ride, eee BeLow—Why the devil don’t you drop ere? We gave an Indian yell that would have fright- ened a band of Comanches and departed, leaving our blessings with the inquisitive peopie. Tue re- port of a double-barrelled gun was heard a short dis- ouce from us, but whether or not we were the ob- jects of attack we did not wait to discover. We Penh floated over Coulesville at about four o'clock. OVER WYOMING COUNTY, At two minutes alter four we were over the township o! Bennington, in Wyoming county, and were almost piace Morlegnen irom below by an individual who stood behind a tree, “What can you see up there?” he asks, “We can see Lake Erie.” “Ab, ah! I'd like to see it.” “Well, why don’t you come up then,” “You look like the devil up there,’ Our powwow Wak abruptly terminated by a ref- erence to the guide rope, which was now bent backward at the end for about ten leet, showing & difierence in the velocity of the atmospuere 300 feet below us. We were then travelling quite fast and at an actual elevation from the ground of about 1,200 feet. HIGH FEEDING, Gradually rising, tweaty minutes past four o'clock, a chance offered tw puriase of the good things provided by the amtabie proprietor of the Bioomer House, and cold partridge and saudwiches | disappeared with alarming rapidity. Next im turn came the Giilig hamper, Waich was deait with ac- cording to law, Tokay taking the place of more spirited decoctions, a]thongh the temperature now began to warrant someting even warmer than Mumm or Malas. None of us had partaken of food since about eight o'clock in the morning; thus the time and circumstances favored an excellent apne: tite. I suppose we had what many would call ‘a high old drink,” but all within the limits o pru- jence. 4 GLORIOUS CLOUD SCENE, By the time our excellent repust had been con- cluded it was thirty-our minutes after four o'clock, the aneroid indicating an elevation above the lake of 5,659 feet. At this moment the balluon Tose majestically upward through the cumulus, and in less than ten seconds we were above ali the clouds visible in space, A scene of loveliness un- surpassable Was now presented. We had passed beyond any sounds from the earth beneath, which jor a time Was entirely snut out from onr view, and the almost deathlke silence that prevailed tor several minutes, added to the first feeling of ad- miration for the glorious picture spread out before our eyes, Will render the moments ever memora- ble to all present. Above us there was not a cloud. mE ihe the sweetest blue, clear, transparent, and ha That chastity of look which seemed to hang A veil of purest light o'er all. Looking away to the southeast fora distance of thirty mues, nothing but the uneven sammits of mountains representative of the purest snow, ap- peared, and though here and there the peaks would suddenly change their shape or disappear, Others wouid stana up higher and higher, unt a division occurred, letting in light trom below. As we rose above the moving but spotiess looking mass, the sun seemed to lighten the whole upper surface, and the misty particles giistened and sparkled beneath the rays ol the king of day, until the eye became pained and had to be taken off and fixed upwards for a moment to secure reliet. Far away to the northeast, through a break in the clouds, the broad blue waters of Lake Ontario could again be seen. its appearance at this height was absolutely beyond description, especially when looking down upon tae water through the broken, floating nimbus cloud, Her sister lake, Erie, reflected the rays of the sun in very yellow tints in our rear, represeuting a piece ofsinoked glass, Here was an Arct.c scene with its snowcapped summits and floating icebergs; a true representation of the real, 1 doubt ifever the French critic whose words I have quoted above, could have resisted the influenee of scenic beauties so rare, so instructive, 80 chu: APPEARANCE OF A PARHELION. While here we saw the first -parhelion” of the voyage, Which was a halo of bright colors repre- | sentative of the rainbow, around the huge balloon, the ring being beautifully clear on the upper sur- face of the clouds still below the car. As this was @ rare occasion, we watcned the time of the exist ence of the ring and found it to be about fiity seconds. A SECOND WINGED MESSENGER, Desiring to let our sriends at Buitalo share to some extent in the splendid voyage we were mak- ing we selected another pigeon, and determined to vend him back with a despatch from above the clouds, which was as follows :— — Sept 16, 1873, 4:18 P. M. Above \the clouds, about a inile, Saleving a glories seene. Just over the village ot Warsaw; Lake Krie Jooks like a fleld of gold under a bridge of snowy clouds. Forty miles in an air line trom Buitalo. The timid pigeon leaped readily from the basket, having the message firmly secured beneath its Wing, made # semi-circle, then turned off and flew upward jn @ northeasterly direction, subse- quently coming down and darting through the | clouds out of sight, EXTREME COLD. “fortunately, we brouzht these buffalo robes,” remarked one of my companions, ia reply to a ques- tion as to the cold, We had been floating lor a distance of twenty-five miles above cloudland and ail at once we became conscious of cold feet. Every person complained, ta fact, of the extreme chiiii- ness about the feet and knees, slight impression of the lungs also, wihile Mr. iioiden compiained of an impression over the temples. It was now twelve minutes past » and the aneroid registered an elevation of 8,624 fect, with the thermometer down to 43, Cold and silent Mr. King and your adrial commissioner dotned the buffalo roles, and, to Judge jvom the broad smile of one of our com- unions, Wwe must have looked as handsome as lodocs Out Great coats were tu demand also. At tii it Was proposed that the pulse oPeach pass be taken, and resuited in an average vf 100 pulsations to the minute. Unwl ten minutes to six P.M, it continued very cold, our jeet being pertectiy benumbed, We passed Lake Hemlock at about twenty minutes past five, when we had reached a height of 8, ue three-quarters, with the thermometer down to 40, SUNSRT AS SEEN FROM ABOVE. Notwithstanding the severity of the cold (it affected us more On account of the previous warn strata we had passed through), we were enabled to enjoy agrand and rare spectacie—a sunset as na mile and three-quarters trom the lake level. The sinking sun appeared through the cloud like a huge bat! of Le tinging with carmine and gold the Dinter gdagp of Mae oumUtus, ag’ cagting uD the Mr. King feit a | it vo greater ad’vuntage on account of the clouds bemg so far’. fow us; ® per took filty seconds tolall from the car to the upper suriace. ‘The etfect, therefore, was as though a huge flagration, was going on bene balloon, “being only rotected — from flames, ‘by the density of the smoke between it asd the earth. With orgeons aex sary of ye.~ow and purple below and the aspect of a purely ‘shite and apparently endless field of snow above, the effect was truly magical and mapired us with an enthusiasm bet previously experienced, Above the suu itself there was that delightini shade of ob the Lighest points of the Catskill Mountains, OUR THIRD MESSENGER Was sent out on his homeward jouer ah four minutes alter six o’e'ock, No sooner had ‘aurly sunk below the horizon than an oppressive darkness began to cover the entire cloud surtace, and we at once mare the necessary preparations Re equipping our last pigeon. ‘The despatch read thus : P.M. bably over Yates county : the y—cun't tell; sun setting be- ill above the clouds: St th There seemed to be a kind of natural instinct of dread on te part of pigeon No. 3; it remained for aiew seconds on the edge of the basket, then dashing boi cloud, disap pe: red in the twilight, We all ques- toned if Ute little fellow could wing lus way back | that night, THE LAST OBSERVATIONS BY DAYLIGHT, At six minutes past six we had descended con- siderably again, the aneroid barometer indicating 7,089 feet above Erie Lake, ‘the thermometer stood at thirty-two degrees—or ireezing puint—the coldest part of the journey, We had now reached the string of lakes. Pass- iny to the southwest of Lakes Conesus and Hem- lock, we were speedily in sight of Little Honoye and curling Canandaigua, All along this course, which suddenly turned at ‘tyrone, in Schuyler county, (rom east-southeast to southeast, we had a most exciting ride, Seneca Lake was in sight aiead of us, Our last observation by daylight was thirty-six minutes pust six, when the altitude was 8,626 feet and the thermometer at forty-six. TRAVELLING IN THE DARKNESS. We were overtaken by the darkuess immediately alter crossing Crooked Luke. it then became a question whether we should come down at some clearing in Steuben county, anchor for the night and go up agai early the next morning, but the majority appeared anxious to proceed further be- jore resui! We were gradualiy descending, how- ever, a ir. King finally determined to let us have a land ride with the aid of the guide rope, Presently we heard the rope rattling among the tops of the trees, and occasionally ‘elt a sudden check, when it would catch and snap off some hight bough with @ crack and @ quiver. Ahead of us, in our rear and at either side, were seen twinkling lignts in the farms and cottages, that seemed like bright stars beckoning us tothe earth. Here and there the rope would jail from the tree tops into @ clearing with a whiz, whiz, and the next instant it would be scraping over a wooden tence, whizzing and cracking, and beiore the astonished dweller in the land could understand wiy the geen cackled and the dogs barked so furiously, he would find the rope scrap- ing over his chimney top and be greeted with Whoops thac would nave driven Captain Jack wild witu jeaiousy. In many places we found the peoplo out Watching us, and we invited them on many occasions to catch the rope anil pull us down, but the answer invariably was, “Where is ity”? “Can't you see the balloon?” King would demand, in deep tones, being conscious oiten that it must have been at least 200 teet above tne heads of the poor people, who would have been only too anxious to see the “critter.” LIGHT AHEAD. Just before we struck into the splendidly wooded hills and valleys of Hornby, we saw an immense halo o1 light in the distance, directly in our course, We ull concluded .t was a large town at first, either Corning or Elmira; but as we approached nearer, we saw a row o! flerce-looking blazing fires, bignl: suggestive of blast furnaces. We had scarcely concluded that they must be either iron turnaces or fires at the mouth of @ coal pit, when we found ourselves in the valley ieading right over them. The balloon, however, now shiitted her course a little,and we passed over a very high hill and satied along quietly unttl we were over the farm of Thomas Oldiieid, in Post Creek Valley, about six miles over the mountains to Corning. After attracting the attention of Mr. Oldfield we desired him to seize the rope and bring us down, knowing that le could easily do so, as the wind had dropped entircly and we were only mov ing at the rate of six miiesan hour. The hil! on which we were was about 600 feet high. In the valley is wuat is known as Post Creek road, leading from the farm house to Corning. The balloon gradually settled down over this road, the rope dragging just above it. Here we learned that ey were bush fires that hud attractea our atten- tion. OBSERVATIONS.
