Mr. and Mis. Jchn M.

She was teaching school a few miles from Medaryville and was riding home to that place on horseback, and when about a mile from home a dog ran out and bit her horse’s heels. This made the horse jump so violently that Miss Brewer was thrown off backwards, and the back of her head striking upon the hard ground the skull was crushed in and a blood vessel was ruptured in the head, thus causing almost instant death. A doctor was summoned in all haste from Medaryville, but he could do nothing for her. A few beats of the pulse were the only signs of life after the doctor’s arrival. She never regained consciousness after the accident She was 26 years old. She was well known in Rensselaer, having at one time attended school here.

Fisk, one of the ablest and piost experienced aeronauts in the world, will send up a big balloon with a parachute attachment, and attached to the parachute will be two live, trained goats, which, when a high altitude is reached, will be automatically detached from the balloon, and with the parachute will descend safely to the ground. The goats are of long experience in the business, and have never met with any injury. Besides the goats several cages of geese and

Guinea fowls will be sent up, which will be automatically released when high in air, and will fly to the earth. Every one of these Jowls will have attached the card of some business man of Rensselaer, who will pay a reward for its return. The exhibition is fully as exciting as if human beings went up in the balloon and much more pleasant, because devoid of any danger to human life. The entertainment will be wholly free to the spectators, the merchants and business men of Rensselaer having contributed the amount necessary to secure it.
