this city last night He himself remained to search for
bis friend To-day he comes back espairingy He states
that the balloon valve which Thurson sat torn
from the silk of the balloon three quarters of the way
around indicating unerringy that the weight of the
fortunate too great for the strength of the Sides
and that the silk gave way when he must have dropped
Off His only remaining cance would be to cling to the
smooth material Of which the balloon made, and he
could not have sustained himself in that manner When
this occurred only conjecture but that it must
have been within hour after he started highly
probable The balloon for nearly two hours

body, full sixty feet high only the size OF man

Six gentlemen came up from Adrian to-day to 60 down
to search for the body Of 1hnston but at g. p m they
were not decided what course to pursue They Inclined
to the belief that his body if not in the lake. would be

Monroe The only hope now left is that the body may be
found and the hand of affection be permitted to lay it in
its final resting place We earnestly trust this may bethe
