DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF THE LOST BAL
1ooNIsT.-Tbe overland Missouri Republican OF
March l7th brings an account of the discovery
OF Thurstons remains
The Adrian Ezpositor, Of the Stb, announces
the arrival there of a part of the body Of Thurs
ton, who took his farewell fight from Sylvania,
near Toledo, last September. The remains were
found about four miles from the lage Of Syi-
vania by lad named Hoag. The SKULL one foot
in boot and a few other small bones, we're all
that remained of the body; dogs or other animals
had carried off all else. The coat, vest, pants,
shirt watch. knife, cards, memoranda and letters
were found, fully proving the remains to be those
of Thurston. The watch was stopped at 20 min
utes to IL O'Clock, which probably shows when he
| fell.
The Toledo Herald says: 1t is stated that Mr..
| Thurston was seen to fall, by younger son of
Mr.. Hoag, who supposed it to be paper balloon,
but he only laughed at when he told his story.
The reason why the body was not discovered
sooner because the spot where it fell was
small knoll surrounded by morass and covered
with underbrush and small trees. The force of
the fall was such that the head was forced into
| the soil four or five inches.
The Toledo Blade says a second boy also saw
the balloon and thought it kite, and asked his
folks how high kite would fly.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Thurston was
seated on the valve, clasping the silk with his
arms, when last seen When the balloon was
/ found at West Tilbury, Canada, the disc of the
valve was torn off threefourtbs OF the way round.
When at the great height at which the little boy
thought that immense balloon was a kite, almost
out of sight the silk around the valve must have
| given away, precipitatng Thurston to the earth.
| The calculations of his friends, based upon his
! probable powers of endurance, led the search far
! beyond where his mutilated remains lay. The
wood was frequented during the past winter by
! raj Mr. had hau
near by the tbcket, but the wet nature Of the
ground around the knoll, and the thick brush
wood, naturally turned aside all passers by.
The balloon ascended from Adrian at 9 o'clock,
on the 10th of September last, with Messrs Ban
mister and Thurston in it..
The discovery merely gives a certainty to his
friends and relatives of what was, before an un-
known fate
PLAIN TALK.-Editor Tenney, of the Brunswick
(Me.) Telegraph, has got tired of furnishing news
papers without pay, doesn't intend to do it any
longer, and talks in the following plain, but just
manner:
We have duDned and dunned our subscribers,
until we are actual ashamed to annoy the pay
ing ones with any 'er appeals, and yet our
mail subscribers, May Of whom we know are
good and many subscribers at home have
not responded, and give us reason to hope
they will respond. AS consequence, we have
been dunned for debts due from the office, until
would as soon, almost, encounter old nick, as
a creditor. Such state of things is not pleasant
to US, at all events. We have done more than
dollar of business for one of expenses, and
yet it actually barasses our life out to get on
Such state of things, submit is disgraceiul
at least, to those who bestow a nan paying pat
ronage upon the Office, and it is not crediable TO
our town, which can and ought to sustain one
weekly, if it has any merit at ALL
We are now cutting down our lst-cutting
off the rascals who meant TO cheat us from the
start, and we say distinctly to the friends of the
Tlegroph-to all those who desire to see the paper
permanently established in Brunswick, that they |
must use their utmost efforts to extend its crcu
lation, and give us an increase of those who will
pay, in place of those whom about to
consign to--we know not where-for hardly any
place is bad enough for man who cheats the
printer
