On Thursday afternoon a balloon
ascension took place in Chicago, be
ing one of the features of Barnum's
great show on exhibition there at the
time. Prof. Donaldson, who was
much heard of in connection with the
projected transatlantic aerial trip
last year, was in charge of the balloon,
and was accompanied by Mr. Grim
wood, reporter for the Evening
Journal of that city. Up to the
latest advices, nearly a week after
the ascension, nothing whatever has
been heard from the air ship or its
passengers. As a violent wind storm
prevailed shortly after they started,
the sad conviction has gradually
grown upon the public that the da-
ring aeronauts persisted miserably in
the lake.

Harvest is just beginning in this I
county; farmers are busy with their
barley, cutting, stacking and thresh- I
ing. Many have contracted their
cops a 81 per bushel, if delivered
before the lst of sept. The yield is
very good. and the grain much
brighter than for years past. The
annual swarm OF harvest hands Is up
on US. and the city swarms with
them. Hundreds come in with every
up river boat. Some try to get
work, but a great many lounge
around town waiting for some hing
to turn up. About dozen have
turned up in jail. The majority are
penniless. and the market house has
been thrown open for their accom-
mediation at night.

der the circumstances. They were
taken to the Island, shown through
the government buildings, then
brought back and taken SIGHT seeing
through the city. In the evening
there were speeches and ball At the
Sewcomb House. Everything
passed of happily and the guests
we're made very comfortable. II the
people OF Upton ever want to take
an excursion let them come here and
see what kind Of entertainers the
Daveuporters are.
