THE LOST ERoNAuT.-The Toledo Times

The LOST ERoEAuT.-The Toledo Times
says:
As the hours and days pass by since the
aerial flight taken by Thurston, the aronaut
from Knights Station, on Thursday last, the
first sickening forebodings we INDUCED have
ripened into reality as to the horrible fate
he must have met. Mr.. Bannister has iden-
tilted and recovered the balloon, which was
a new one, of silk, and cost $1,000, and
which is now in Detroit Himself with
others, prompted by the better feelings of
humanity, have instituted vigorous search
for the body of the missing man. which has
been prosecuted to the present time without,
so far as we are aware, the least success
Not ray of hope is indulgcd by any sane
man that he is yet numbered among the
living. Persons who saw it alight in Tall
berry township, &. W, are positive that no
man was upon il, although it went eight
miles further before it finally rested. Spec
ulation is rife as TO the distance from the
place of ascent he might have attained by
clingng to his frail and uncomfortable po-
sition. We can scarcely believe that he re-
tanned his hold till out of the limits of Mich
igan, and we think it more than probable
that his body will be found, if it ever is, not
thirty miles from the place Of ascent.

GES. ScoTT.---Thc New York papers con-
tain the following account of serious &c
cident to the old veteran.
General Scott had severe fall on the
stairs at Cozzen's Hotel, in West Point, last
week. He was proceeding to dinner party
given in his honor by Col. Dela6eld. Hav-
ing had a bullet through one shoulder, and
a sword thrust through the other arm during
his campaigns, he was unable to break tie
force of the fall by his arms, and his back
was severely injured. He cannot move
without great pain. He has been cupped
and leeched and is somewhat better, but
suffers intensely. At his advanced age and
with SO ponderous frame, it is serious
affair to have such fall, and he is fortunate
to escape with life.

MATTER-oF-FA ACT ARGCMENTs.--The Phila-
delphia Ledger, some days ago, made the
following statements
"In Pennsylvania. alone, there we've pro-
duced last year, nearly $50, tons of pig
iron: of manufactured iron 221,837' tons.
The entire production last year was l;0o0,-
900 tons, while the consumption WAS only
1856, 900 tons, q fact in itself which, to q
great extent accounts for the unusually
small demand from England. The iron
manufactured in the States, in 1856, was as
much as it was in England 35 years ago.
In Pennsylvania, alone, there are employed
40, 900 persons. taking the furnaces, mills
| and forges."

one of the best custom establishments on
Broadway, New York; has been adopted by
