he stepped out of the •cfir, t:efoi.e he
could transfer the articles named, those
who had stolid .9f the car let g , and the
balo,m shot up with a rapidity that car'
r•ied it to an all. rude of two miles with-
-in a few . rininut s. A perfect gate of

rope, with the intention of lr•wering
himself gi•c-Equally. To his , unwise. the
valve would not open. The rain and
sleet had frozen the valve so tight, as to
resist the plessuie from` blow. • Put-
ting his whole stren;;tu to the task, he
gave a strong pull on tee :tope. 'pulling
out the iron staples attaching the rope
to the valve, the rope • fa.ling down
into the car. The hnloori was mount-

the Storrs!. cleud, which was a •mile

Clingiug to the ropes With one band,
with the other and his teeth, after some
exertion, he succeeded in tearing a, relit

opposite side the same way he descend

says that lie heard the cloth tearing, the

interspersed with woods.

the North Branch be in tine thick wood
country, which se the commencement of
the mountains, about two hundred
miles, is represented as abouirdirg in
marshes with patches of land in parts.
In this distance the banks of the river
display beds of lignete coal. Beyond
it the remaining course of the river lies
in the vasaeys of the mountains, to the
glaciers of its source.. - . -

sweeps northerly parallel to the course
of the North Braneh at the distance of
forty to twenty miles beyond it, then
curving to the southward crosses it
about thirty miles a,bcve Edmonton and
continuing in that direction strikes the

Without entering into particulars
stere as to climate, we may observe that
Capt. Palliser, who with Doctor Hector
explored a greate• extent of the Sas-

visited by any other scientific niers Says
that the climate of the Scothern - and
'Western Frau, of it is decidedly milder
than that of Rect River.
