About three o'clock yesterday morning a

A halt was nnide opposite the residence OF

leaders of the gang directed the band to pay
the "Rogue's March," which the leader re- re-

A BALLOON AscEHsIoN-1he Acronaul
Missing. A man named Winchester ascrn-
dcd in a balloon from Norwalk, Ohio, on
Thursday Of last week and was soon lost
from view in the clouds. The "Expcrimcnt"
of that place, says:
"A, the time Of putting our paper to press
FRIDAY evening" three days have elapsed
since the ascension was made, and rs there
have been no tidings received from Mr..
Winchester, the most fearful approximations
are rife H. to his fate. When he started, he
said he intended to 60 higher and further
than any mronaut had ever dared to think Of
going. It is feared by some that when he
rot up into the supper current the intense
cold which prevails in that region soon rem
dcred him insensible and that he was frozen
to death. Others that he must have come
down in the lake and was drowned.
alt will be rrcolected that Mr.. W. made
his first ascension from Milan this fall and
landed near Hubs n. He rose to the height
Of over 10000 feet, and was so cold Mt one
time MS to become sleepy and inscnslble, and
that wh hen he next observed the thermom'
eter the mercury inccntcd 5 degrees below
zero. The bags of sand in his balloon were
