ATTEMPTED ESCAPE FROM PRISON Eight Man Break Out and are Recap turcd Exciting Chase Dravery of a Boy. . An exciting affair occurred at Treuton, on Saturday atternoen, at about three o'clock. Eight prisoners, all ol whom bad been sentenced to ione terms, made an Ineffectual attempt to escape from oontinenient. They were employed in tbe blacksmith shop, and had made every preparation to "leave." The preconcerted sltr nnl was given lust as a loaded wagon was pass ing through the gate. A board which had been loosened In the side of the shop was removed, and the eight men oue alter another passed through the opening, before tbe overseer was aware ot the movement. Each of the desperadoes was armed with a lar of iron or a hammer. The gate-keeper, Peter Ossenberg, who had his back tinned towards the shop, was atiucked and at once over powered. He was struck violently in three pluces, bis head, arm, and le jt, and as they thought they had placed him hors de combat and prevented his giving the alirm, they passed out without doing him an; further injury. But he Immediately jumped up, closed the gate, and gave the alarm. The onlv prisoners who were aware of what had happened, were those who were working in the blacksmith shop, and they kept right on as it nothing remarkabte hal occurred know ing that a oullet through the head would stop the first man who bbouui dare to follow. Some of the keepers and others at once started in pursuit. Sis ot the men had made straight for the Delaware, while the other two had gone in dilleient directions. One of the latter was a man named Sullivan, from Camden, who wns serving out a five years' term tor burglary, and who once broke out of the Camden County Jail. He ran with all the vigor imparted by the hope of liberty, taking a southerly direc tion, towards Bordentown. A son of Mr, Rob inson, the keeper, a boy only about fifteen Tears of age, gave chase to this ruflian, aud, toeiut swift ot foot, soon came near enough to take aim anu fire. . The ball of the single bar relled pistol passed uder S'i! Avail's arm with out doing any daroaua ;ie cc2?'.Ct tuiuGa lull upon his pursuer. Swift as thought the boy cocked the unloaded pistol, aud taking aim, de manded his surrender. Again the convict started to run, and, while folio ving him, young Robinson quickly reloaded bis weapon. Tne convict was chased by the boy into the corner of a field, and finally came to a stand, with his back to the fence. He held stones in his fists, with which, while his eyes glared with anger and reveDtre, be threatened to kill his youthful pursuer; but the latter bravely kept him at bay until the men came up and secured tbe prisoner. The other men were followed by armed men, and the boys of the neighborhood, and most of them were captared while endeavoring to cross the river in a boat to Pennsylvania. Within three-quarters of an hour the eight men were all inside of the prison walls aein, in irons. It should be stated, in this connection, that only two prisoners have succeeded In escaping during the incumbency of tbe present keeper, and this was during his first teu month. Among those who made this desperate at tempt to retrain their freedom was a man named White, from Hunterdon county. As ha had twice belore endeavored to escape, he was fas tened by a ball and chain, of which he dis encumbered himself bv means of a file. Toe others were John McKane. Baines, McCaffrey, Reynolds. Mains (a horse thief), and one whose aame we did not learn. Newark Advertiser of last evening. Retum-of Mrs. Galaes to New Orleans.

JWywik'v ZiuU, fi.'t, Death ot a French Kiecutloner. The recent denth of one fitmon, a celebrated public executioner in tbe south of France, but who, outliving his fume, like many other artists, baa died in tbe hospital at Carcasorje, has brought np tbe subject of death upon the scaf fold once more in Fiance. This Simon had been the hero of many adventures in the course of bis career. One of those is recorded as being tbe original cause of the abolition of the punish ment of branduig. An unfortunate culprit being brought up to be marked on the shoulder with a red-hot Iron by Simon, the latter let the Instrument fall just when he had applied it to the Mesh, so thai tbe mark was not considered valid. On co more did he heat his iron, and once more did he miss the mark. Again a third time did be try amid the terrible yells of the sufferer and the shout3 of execration of the populace, until the unhappy wretch fainted away and was borne from the scaffold. The allair made a great noise at the tine: and a jouijg advocate ot Montpelier, where it hap- Eeued, took the poor wretched convict's case in and, and sued tbe executioner for damage?. The facts were palpable. The man bad been burned to the very bone, so the tribunal con demned the awkward executioner to three huu dred francs damages, which, the recipient being a convict, went into the public treasury. The next fiasco made by Simon was hi the case of a priest condemned to denth for the murder ot a woman at Alx. Simon's hatred of the priest hood was well known, so that the unfortunate manuer in which he let full the knUe, cutting away a portion of tbe skull only, was attributed to vengeance rather than to accident; and the turbulent arieks of tho spectators so trouble i tbe executioner that, oa trying a second time, he let go the cord too boob, and cut off tbe hand of his assistant. This time the Court condemned its slngu'arly unfortunate ofOct.-r to three months' Imprison ment and five hundred trauc6' flue. Toe next lailure was at Bcaume, where a young poacher had been condemned lor the murder of a garde chasse. Simon bring uuable to compete either in strength or skill with the criminal, a fright ful scene took place on the scaffold, the account of which hxs prevented the schteuceof death from being pased since that time in taut same city. The struggle ended in the defeat ol Simon aud his two assistants, and the culprit was conveyed back to prison amid an emeule of the populace of tho town. This time the parques of tbe South resolved that thouah forbidden to abolish the punishment of death, they were not forbidden to abolish the execu tioner, and dismissed Simon irom his office. But the love of his profession was strong upon bim to the last, and be would officiate as ama teur whenever the professional was prevented from attending. His previous instincts were satisfied at last by his appointment to a place as attendant at the diBsecliug-rootn ot the hospital of Lyons, where he remained until, worn out and infirm, he went to die at bis native place. Victor Hugo bad made this man celebrated for a time by his "Last Days of a Condemned Con vict," but the temporary publicity given to his name had faded long before bis retirement into the obscurity tor which it is evident he was best fitted. The Author of Junius, In Merivale's "Lilo of Sir Philip Fransis" just published in LouaoD, the (olio wing estimate is made of his character, implying that he was i'ust as malignant and ungrateful as Francis as ie was as Junius: There never was a character in which light and darkness were mote strongly contrasted. The deeper shades of it are brought out only too powerfully by its own revelations of hiscouduct and motives. With the vindictive and ranco rous quality of his animosities, the world is already pretty well acquainted; not so well, jjerhaps, with that unhappy nature which made him quarrel with one fiiend and benefactor attcr another, and leave on record the most cutting memorials of his displeasure against them. I have felt at times, when falling in with these productions of perverse malevolence, as if it was a violation of what is due to the dead to publish them; but, in point of facr, many of the documents which contiin them, were evidently intended by himself lor posthumous, if not earlier, publicity. . Setting aside altogether the sins of which Junius was guilty in this respect, those perpe trated in the unmasked person of Francis were sufficient to constitute a heavy indictment against him. One Irtend, supporter, patron, and colleague alter another Kinnoul, Chatham, Thomas Wood, Calcraft, D'Oyly, Clavermg, Fowke, Coote, Fox, the Prince of Wales those who nad wished well to bim, defended him, showered benefits on him appear at last in his written records, branded with some unfriendly or contemptuous notice, some insinuated or pronounced aspersion, ungrateful at best, but treacherous also, if, as has been already conjec tured, he meant those records to be known some day to the world. From such displays ot charac ter as these and it is of no use lor the honest biographer to attempt to disguise them the observer shrinks with natural aversion. Another Mortars Case. The "Monthly Letter" of the English Protest ant Alliance contains the following: ''Another Mortnra case has lately-occurred inGalicia. A petition from a Jewish, lather came to the Pre sident of the House and Dr. Mublteld by tele graph, stating that his daughter was detained in the Venveut or tne eisiers oi si. ueneuici, m Lpmhertr. where she was on the point of re ceiving baptism. The Minister of Justice rose and stated that ne nan receiveu a biuiiuu- ieie gram, to which he had immediately replied, directing the Stadtholder to prevent the bap tism, to allow the lather access to his daughter, to inquire into the matter, and bring It before the tribunal, and to report about it, as well as a similar case which occurred at Biala. He ex plained that four weeks ago he bad a similar telegram from a Jew, stating that his daughter of fourteen had absconded, taking with her money and valuables; that she had taken re luge In a convent, where they were trying to convert her; that be bad tried every means to get ber back, but had tailed; and that he now piayed tor the intervention of the Minister. Tbe baptism in this case bad been prevented, but the Stadtholder, although asked three times to report, had not done so a statement which caused cries ot 'depose him.' " Tbe Death Penalty In Holland.-"" The Courant of Rotterdam makes a new point against capital puit-bment. It says the gallows is too expensive un institution to be maintained by a small State. In the last budget of the Minister of Juotico one item is lOid florins for pay and pensions to executioners. As sentences of cipital puTilshmeut are, on the averaire, only curried out in Holland once in ten years, eucii execution may be said to cost 70,400 florins lor executioners alone, not reckoning other ex penses. Tbe cost of a prisoner to the Slate, on the other hand, Is 50 cents a day, and supposing that he is detained for tweuty years, which is the maximum period, In prison, he would have cost 3U50 fioiins only, or about a twentieth of tho sum he would have cost if he had been exe cuted. Thus, according to the Courant, the dispute about capital puulstitucnt has an economic as well as an humanitarian side, and can be argued as a simple question of profit and loss. AMUSEMENTS.
