LIFE IN AND OUT OF New YoRK.-A
New York correspondent Of the Boston
Journal writes:- az ]ak--
Cuisines is 4dull-very dull. Hun
dreds Of young men have no work. -Four
thousand clerks have left the city for
want Of employ. Fine looking, intelli-
gent and capable young men take any
mental service, rather than have nc
work to do.aoOne young man, capable
book-keepelr, may be seen daily ON a
dray, with his horse, getting living on
that plan. AT no time since the panic
began, have times been SO hard for
men of moderate moderate means. We
have a great many of your Boston
young men here, out of employment,
who left good comfortable situations at
the East, attracted by the glare and
temptation Of New York. Many of
them wish themselves at home. All bu-
siness is eyerdone; the law, physic, mer-
chandise, trade, clerkships-all but
preaching. If any man, right smart
wants to come into the mission field Of
our city, work like a galley slave, and
get his ''vietuals and his clethes,' . the
first scanty and the last coarse, he can
come to New Y ork and get employment.
All others had better stay away" 1-' :

THE AMERICAN CHESS PLAYER.

The English are boundlessin their admiration and astonishment at the performances of Morphy the young American chess-player. The London Times says
 "A young man of twenty appears amongst iis modest, without ostentation or assumption. and performs the most astonishing feats with coolness if it all quite natural. Still there is self confidence and reliance on his own powers which determine him to travel all through Europe in search of a worthy antagonist, should he not find a conqueror here. This is at least a real chess player from head to fuOt-such as few have vet appeared Since the days of PhillidOr and La- tourdonnas, we do not remember similar appari- tion.'

THE LOST BALLOONIST.
HE DOo1 DhBI1OONIDI. From the Detroit Tribune, September

From the Detroit Tribune, September 22d.
 We change our heading to-day Lost is fearful word to say of one who but now was in our midst in the high tide of life, strong, bold. full of hope, with troops of friends about him. Lost it sounds like the wailing of the wind in the tops of the pnes!" All hope of ever finding poor Thursttn alive is plotted out, and we can only benioan him as lost.
 Mir. Bannster, his companion, returned this after nonn and can bring only the worst tidings. The balloon he identified and sent the silk of which 1t was composed to this city last night, He himself remained to search for his friend. To-day he comes back de~pairngly He states that the balloon valve which 1hurstOn sat is torn out from the SIX or the balloon three-quarters of the way around indicating unerringly that the weight of the unfortunate man was too great for the strength of the des and that the silk gave way. wheu he must have dropped 'if His only remaining chance would be to cling fhe smooth material of which the balloon was ni''c. and he could not have sustained himself it. at manner When this occurred can only co' i'c ture but that it must have been within ah l., r after he started, seems highly probable. The bal loon for nearly two hours with glass, but it must be remembered that this great body. F'll sixty feet high. was only the size of mans hand. when thus visible. and it would be utterly imp<si ble to see the ill-fated if he had dropped fl. Mir Bannister feels quite posi- i've that he must hH,e fell before reaching Canada at all
 The stories that are so plentiful that man WAS seen in the balloon as it came down near Baptirfe Creek he wholly discrcdits. as we have, from the first He has investigated these rumois pretty tho roughly. and puts no faith in them whatever.
 Six gentlemen came mp from Adrian to day to go down to search for the body of Thurston, but ct P M. they were not decided what course tc pursue. They inclined to the belief that his body. not in tbe fake wonld be found between Knights Station, where he started and Monroe. The only hope now Jeff is that the body may be found. and the hand of affection he permitted to lay it in its final resting olace. We earnestly trust this may be the poor md only boon left for aching and sorely-smitten hearts to crave.
