Lebaudy, a well-known French aeronaut, who had a narrow escape from disaster and worse the other day. After having safely brought his navigable balloon from La Ferte-sous-Jonarre, he was just anchoring at Chalons Camp with the help of the soldiers there, when a sudden gust of wind tore the balloon from its moorings and dashed it against some trees in the neighbourhood. The soldiers, who were attempting to hold it down, were carried for some distance with it in its flight, but, luckily, they received nothing worse than bruises."
