An article having appeared in the Philadelphia Herald that Prof, Wise had become dissatisfied with the arrange ments for the voyage, and that the material used in the construction of the balloon was not suitable for the purposes intended, Prof. Wise writes to that paper, that the story is totally false.

He says: "the writerof the article, whoever he may be, must hare been influenced by other than honorable motives. Shonld the weather be favorable for the inflation and departure, I feel satisfied we shall be enabled to render a eood account of the experiment. The most cordial relations have existed between the Graphic Company, Air. Donaldson and myself, up to this moment, and will no doubt continue so for all time to come. The Graphic Company is doing everything in their power to make us comfortable, successful and safe in this undertaking." A Home fou Dkskrvixo Aokd Destitute Persons.

A notice apiear3 elsewhere that a meeting will be held at Library Hall, on Thurs day evening next, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of arranging anil providing for a "Home foi Deserving Aged Destitute Persons." A cor respondent writes as follows in reference to tho matter "This i haritv has lont been needed. Our aged ioor have gone begging to other cities for homes and coinlorta tor their declining years, while here there is enough and to spare, it is time a helping hand gave shelter and provision to those who have worthily but, unsuccessfully to themselves, borne the burden and heat of the day. The quiet room, the rest from care, a place to wait and pray, so prized and wished fur by those who have reached the evening of hie, is their due, and should oe provided and bountifully nmiutained. Now, before the storms of winter the season of suflering and dread to the destitute, shall not a Home be prepared for them Will not every one contributing feel their winter more comfortable for having done something for the aged poor?" ThkRkamngRaii.iuiad Excursionists. After completing the inspection of the lateral railroads in Schuylkill county, the Reading Railroad excursionists started on Thursday morning from Mount Carbon, and proceeded over the Schuylkill Valley branch to Taniaqua.

From Taniaqua they proceeded over the Oata wissa Railroad to Williamsport, where they arrived about three o'clock in the afternoon. An Inspection was made of the Williamsport boom, and large steam saw mills, and in the evening the party partoek of a banquet at the Herdic House, where addresses were made by several officers of the Reading Railroad, and Messrs. Wootten and Bell were congratulated for the successful manner in which the trip had been conducted. The party started upon their homeward route jjcstcrday morning. They returned over the to 1 to Quakake, and proceeded thenc u.

Chunk. They then passed over Valley Railroad to Al lentown, the a to Reading over the East Pennsylvania Ra road, arriving in this city at 4 o'clock p. m. The party reached Philadelphia shortly before I'clock, ha', ing been occu pied five days i 'g the numerous The entire branches of the distance traveled a thousand miles, mi' each day. was over an average of over 200 Being weighed down with presents.

Enterprising business men in various parts of the country arc taking advantage of the balloon excitement to secure advertisements for their wares. One firm gets a notice by sending mat tresses for the use of the aeronauts. Everything conceivable that can be carried on the voyage has been forwarded with a flourish of trumpets. The other day some rifle factory sent a rifle of elaborate finish. This is doubtless intended for the use of Donaldson who will go out in the smaller balloon and shoot the big birds that will be likely to light on the large balloon and over load it.

We expect that some party will send along a small criiion for the firing of salutes when they pass ovi a ship, and a ton or two of fixed ammunition in case they land in Africa and must fight their way out of the woods. Of course there will not be any trouble about taking all these things along, for what will not go into the car can be put in the boat, or a trap door can be cut in the side of the balloon, and the stuff can be stored in there where there is plenty of room lor small packages. We expect to hear of samples of pig iron to be taken along, and Saratoga trunks for the voyagers to keep their clothes in, and extension tables for dinner, and a four post bedstead for them to sleep on at night, because these things will be so handy to have in the balloon when the poor fellows are so far away from home. Pic Nics and Ckleurations. The following pic nics and celebration will be held in this county to day and to morrow.

They are occasions of much interest to the young folks of the rural districts, and are frequently attended by people from this city.

Another of our most prominent aud influential citizens ia no more, aud our community has sustained great loss in the death of David McKnight.who departed this life, yesterday afternoon, at his late residence, No. 13li North Fifth street, in the sixtieth year of his age, after a lingering illness, Though not unexpected, our citizens were un prepared to hear of his demise so soon, and the announcement yesterday afternoon of his death startled many of his friends, who wero una war of his low condition.

For a number of days, howjvor, the deceased had been sinking, and his death was momentarily expected by his family. The deceased was bom in this city on the 3rd of May, 1811, in the bank building now occu pied by the National Union Bank, but at that time used as a branch of the Bank of Ponnsyl which latter institution his father, John McKnight, was Cashier. He continued to reside in this city up to the time of his death. II is father, John McKnight, wasofScoth descent. and was born in Chester county.

In r808 he removed from Philadelphia to Reading, and reared in this city a large family of children, The deceased was his second son, an older brother havinc died manv years ao. Three sisters and two brothers survive him. Col. C. McKnight, Cashier of the Union National Bank, being the oldest brother now living John McKnight was a gentleman of lino education, extremely exact in nil his dealings, a strict disciplinarian, and a financier of rare ability.

He personally superintended the educa tion of his sons, and they received such a course of training as was tho fortune of but few per sons educated at the best institutions of learning which the country then posssssed. His sons were taught book keeping and banking when mere youths, and hence we find the deceased at the age of 15 a clerk in the banking house, of which his father was Cashier. All the sons acquired to a more or less extent the excellent habits, and superior business of the father. David McKnight was educated in Reading, with the exception of several terms which he passed in Col. Roumfort's Military Institute, near Gcrniantown, Pa.

After his appointment to a clerkship in the Pennsylvania Bank he continued in the institution until the death of his father, in 1855, when he was elected President oi the Branch Bank of Pennsylvania. This po sition he held until 1857, when, in the financial panic of that year, the Pennsylvania Bank, with its numerous branches, failed. The following year, 1S5R, the Union Bank was organized, and he was elected President his brother, Charles B. McKnight, having, a short timo previously been elected Cashier of the same institution The deceased held the office of President at the time of his death, the institution having become a National Bank, under the law' relating to their establishment. The deceased was also engaged in extensive real estate transactions, and had a Real Estate and Trust Office at No.

021 Washington street, He was guardian of a largo number of wards, and was engaged in the settlement of numerous large estates, being frequently selected for that purpose, on uccjuut of his great experience in financial management, excellent judgment, and sterling character. rem having so many wards he was fniuiliary known as "Governor" McKnight by both old and young. The deceased was a public spiritedcitizen, and participated actively in every movement of a character calculated to prove of benefit to the interests of the city. While Reading was still a borough he was elected at one time Chief Burgess, and in 1802, during the absence in the army of the Mayor, Maj. Joel B.

Wanner, Mr. McKnight was Acting Mayor of the city of Reading, having been elected to that position by the City Councils. In 1803, during the ab sence of Postmaster Knabb with the Pennsyl vania militia, Mr. McKnight acted as Post master pro tern. The deceased was at one time President of the Soup Society, an officer, on different occasions, of tho Reading Benevolent Society, and was identified with every object of a benevolent or charitable character in this city.

He was also a Director of the East Pennsylvania Railroad, and held office in various moneyed institutions at dif ferent times. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, but for a number of years had been worshipping, with his family, in the Trinity Lutheran Church, Rev. Dr. Fry, pastor. In person, Mr.

McKnight was a genial, pleas ant gentlemen. There was ever a smile upon his frank, open countenance and a kind word for all. He was a person of warm friendship, social cisposition, easy in conversation aud of orfeet manners. He was a kind and indulgent father, greatly attached to his family, fond of children, and of a sweet and amiable disposition, l'isendwas one of peace; as sink the setting tun, so sank he to rest. He was fully prepared to die, and in the blessed faith of the Christian, his spirit softly passed away.

The funeral of the deceased will take place on Tuesday, September 2 p. m. Retcrx Home of JIayob Evans. As announced in our issue of yesterday, Mayor Evans returned home last evening from his trans continental tour on the 7:10 o'clock train from Philadelphia. It was desired to tender the Mayor a public reception, and a meeting of citi zens for that purpose was called at the City Hall, at one o'clock in the afternoon.

As there appeared to be some uucertaiuty about the exact hour of his arrival and the time for preparing a reception was short, it was decided by the persons present, to accept the arrangements which had been made to receive the Mayor by the Penn sylvania Club, of which he is a member. This Club held ajmeetiug on Thursday evening, at which a Committee of Arrangements and another on Ileccption were appointed, and it was resolved to receive the Mayor at the lower de pot, convey him to the' Club Booms, on North Fifth street, and entertain him there. Invitations were extended to members of Councils, the officers of the city government, members of the press, and others. The Committee of Arrangements consisted of the following gentlemen S. K.

Kerjier, C. Holton, G. W. Klock, II. Weigel, Henry M.

Kingle, A. A. Ileiz mann, A. J. O'Reilly and Johu I).

Missiuier. Messrs. Kerper and Missimer, of the latter committee, proceeded to Poughtssville on the 6.20 p. m. train, where they met the accommodation train upon which was tho Mayor.

A large number of citizens had assembled at the lower depot, including inaay members of Councils, and upon the arrival of the train, there was a rush for the cars, in order to welcome the Mayor home, and enjoy a hearty shake of the hand. The Mayor and members of the Committees took carriages at the depot and were driven to the rooms of the Pennsylvania Club in Hoft'A Millholland'8 building, Fifth street above Penn. A number of citizens called upon the Mayor at the Club rooms, and after all had been received by the Mayor, and a short conversation had occurred, Mr. F. W.

Lauer, President of the Club, on behalf of the officers and memliers of the Pennsylvania Club, bado the Mayor a cardial welcome home, and presented him with a magnificent bouquet of rare flowers, the gift of Mr. Johu McNab, florist. Mayor Evans in reply staled that he wai loo much fatigued with travel, having beeu on the J. at rr to fi Ir fi be irr at in. rr IN cars for nearly eight days and nights, to reply at any length, He expressed bis gratitude this reception, and was proud of the confidence and esteem that had been manifested by the citizens in coming tot the ia', such numbers to witness buetum.

The Mayor then adverted briefly to his trans continental Journey and various Incidents thereof, speaking In glow ing terms of the enthusiastic manner ia whioh the excursionists had everywhere been received, and in conclusion returned his heartfelt thanks to the members of the Club, and the citizens of Reading generally, 1 The gentlemen retired Into the adjoining apartment where an elegant banquet was served. The table was docorated with flowers, and loaded with meats, vegetables and fruit. Liquid re freshments wero also liberally dispensed, and the evening was passed In a very pleasant man ner, he banquet was prepared by Miller, or the State House Restaurant. A letter from Henry S. Eckert, Presi dent of Select Council, was road expressive of his regret at being unable to be present at the recoptlon.

Laaer, Esq. The remainder of the evening was spent ia social conversation, and the company separated at a late hour. Summer Resobts. The watering place season will soon have to writ "finis." The hotels are emptying, cool nights and cheerless rain storms have dampened the ardor of the pleasure seeker, and along the Atlantic coast he is now assailed by mosquitoes. The piles of huge trunks and the full trains no longer leave our cities, but are coming back to it.

People begin to think once more of buaiuess business is beginning to look after them trade prospects are brightening, and merchants arc preparing for the fall trade. August is nearly at an endt and the autumn opens next week. Yet Sep tember aud October are to many minds the most pleasant portions of tho year for tours of recrea tion. The glories of the American autumnal forest have often been painted, and no eye can scan them without admiration. The season is nevertheless closing, seaside excursions are no more, pic nics aud Sunday school excursions will soon be over, aud tho city will soon assume its usual business aspect The letter boxes are being painted a green color.

The public schools of this city will re open on Monday next. i Another heavy raiu storm last night be tween 9 and 11 o'clock. The Peuu Street Passenger Railway will bo organized on Tuesday next. The Committee on Nuisances of the Board of Health were out on a smelling tour yesterday afternoon. Ever since Old Probabilities" has sailed for Europe, the weather has been doiug pretty much as It pleases.

Mr. Joseph Wiuter, the accomplished leader of the Ringgold Baud, has received a batch of select musical compositions from Europe. They were sent to him with the compliments of Messrs. Isaac Eckert, Jacob Bushong and J. George Seltzer.

An exchange says, "Some of our futuro poets may be found among our street boys." Better, far better, would it be if some of our present poets were to be found among our street boys though goodness knows the street boys are bad enough now. The balloonist who accompanies the Great Eastern Circus came to grief on the occasion of their visit to Wilmington. He ascended all right for a short distance, but something went wrong and the balloon came down by the run, and when near the ground the car turned over and tumbled the aeronaut into a mud puddle. Fortunately he was uninjured. The regular monthly meeting of the Y.
