pointed them out to number OF our citizens ana We
also learn that they were seen by several, ana IN
various parts Of the city. Mr.. Thur-tOn says that
during the night both balloons kept strong light ex-
hbited which gave them the appearance, from the
hight at which they were of burning stars. Itey

P.S--Snce the above was put in type, the after

descended nesr Sandusky on Monday night We pre-
sumo that it is intended only to say that they descended
within hail so as To- make themselves known and re-
port progress which the Intention on the start

circumstance to doubt the correctness Of our intoru-
snts information. and the testimony of large number
Of our citizens. From this dispatch 1t would appear
that Mons Godard's was the southernmost balloon,
and that Steiners has gone toward Lake Ontario.
