An amusing incident is reported from Goulburn'iu connection with a parachute descent made there the other day. The balloon ascent was from the grounds of. the Agricultural the weather being stormy. Some two miles out a man was engaged in cutting wood in the bush, and as he happened to look up he saw ttie Parachutist descending in close proximity to him. Evidently he bad heard nothing of the proposed ascent, and, . being ! thoroughly scared, he dropped ! his axe and fled for his life half | a mile to the nearest dwelling, j where he astonished the resident with the ne vs that the end of the world had come.
