J., March 13, 1871. Again has Cape May he come the scene of considerable excitement, very much similar to that which oocnrred in oar midst pome two weeks since. Then the cause wan the breaking np of a lawless gang, egaicst six of whom sufficient evidence of guilt was obtained to warrant their incarcera tion in the County Jail. This time the ovine is the breaking out and escape ef Facemyer, the ringleader of the gang, and Abe Garrison, whose reputation is almost as kad. We had hoped that by this time, in connection with an eooount of their escape, we should also be able to chronicle their rearrest, bat np to this time the most vigilant search has failed to discover their retreat, or the direction they have taken, if they have at all managed to leave the connly. The time and manner of their escape are as follows: On Thursday evening last, at about 845 o'clock, as the night guard entered the jail yard to take his position, he discovered in the darkness a man loitering near, and upon hailing him the fel low ran off. Not having yet armed himself, he Btarted for the keeper's r-om for his gun, when another came np from nnder the wall of the prison, and also made off. This proved to be Facemyer, and he made his escape in his tinder-clothes. Upon examination it was found they had dug out nnder the wall, after having removed a portion of the floor of the cell for that purpose. The other prisoners fry they managed this by heating the stove I lute red hot, and with it burning off the planks, and then prying them np with part of a, claw-bar which they found in the building. The alarm was immediately given, Denniaville being aroused about 11 o'clock by the ringing of bells and the firing of guns, but little could be done until the dawn of Friday morning, when numbers engaged in searching the woods and by-roads, hoping to gain some trace of the whereabouts of the fugitives. Sheriff Steel man offers $125 for their delivery at the County Jail, or $100 for Facemyer and $25 for Garrison. It was ascertained that they had been at home, supplied themselves with clothing and money, bid their families good bye, and departed. A letter was leftjby them in the jail, bidding all farewell, adding that they would leave a car key belonging to the West Jersey Railroad Company where it could be found, also a lot of tools belonging to one Vanzilder. It is evident they felt sure of making a final escape. FROM lESTKKDAY'a F1FTII EDITION. Dlnakter at Pea New York, March 13.

The most turbulent of tne lot were a large African lioness and her mate, confined in a cage near the centre of the row of animals on the Thirtieth sweet side or the museum. Pop Taylor keeps the animals' food in a corner closet For some reason be was a little louger ttma usual in selecting the puces for mttriouirm. Tu lions became almost wild in tbelr roaring for rood. An uuueual noise in the direction or the lions' ago attracted Fop's attention just he was starting towards them with tlieir meat. The spectacle that met his gaze was appilllng. The beasts were standing uprigui, taeir ciaw grasping tbe upper bars or their cages, their jaw extended, and their eyeballs glowing. The cages are made with heavy iron railing doors, that a'e lifted from tbe bottom. The soor on the lions' cage was unbolted at the top. in tueir anger the Uus were never known to place their paws under the railitg. always grasping It at tbe top. on loo Aire towards tne cage, hop Taylor stw the lion place bis paws under the door, winch be raised In a twinkling.

Tbe height was too grout for him to venture a leap. Now la our time," said Jen. Davis, as he sprang to tbe window and grasped tbe lion by the tail, close to tbe animal's body. Fop Taylor followed np tbe attack by seizing tbe beast by the haunches, air. La Foirest moDiited the window sill and show ered heavy blows on the brute's skull, and stunned hltu for a minute. Taking advantage of this, the tbiee men dragged the beaut back to his cage. At this juncture Mr. William A. Lildendahl, su peilntendent of the Museum, eutered the room. Tbe lionets was driven to tbe back part of the cage, tbe door was raised, and tbe king of beasts was f unned into his den. Jen. Davis hung on to the ion's tall until ths oor closed oa the animal. -V.
