A DESPERATE CONVICT. —In tbe Penitentiary
at Philadelphia there is a decorate and trouble
some convict, a man from Perry county,
Pennsylvania. A few days since he provided
himself vritti a singularly complete defensive
armor. One of the jailors unlocked the con
vict's cell early one morning, and found him
girdled by a belt stuck full of sharp uails.—
liis arms were eooased in the same accoutre
ment to the elbows, and he wore a tiara of
tbe same strange contrivance around his head.
At the end of a pole used to sustain the sky
light, he had fixed his knife in the manner of a
lance, and when tba officer unlocked the cell
door the convict made a lunge at him which
very uearly put a quietus upon any future
uctiou of the deputy warden. This ferocious
man was captured after a desperate struggle,
when a bloody plot for his escape, and that of
his fellow prisoners, was revealed. In his ceil
was (baud a rope for clambering over the wall
made of nits of blanket and bed quilt. Knives
nud other weapons were concealed beneath his
pallet, and he had removed several heavy
atones from the solid niasourv. The intention
of tbe convict was to mount the lower wall
encompassing the yard of the cell, and w hen
the deputy entered the yard through the reur
gate, in the eveuing, to lock the cell door, to
strike bitn dead with one of the heavy stones
be had secured. The keys were then to be
secured, and au attempt made to pass through
the main entrance. In case this should be
frustrated, the rope and hook were to aid him
iu sealiug the high wall. At last accounts,
however, the convict was repenting his fool
hardly behavior iu one of the dark cclls.asaist
ed in his retrospection by a diet of bread and
water.
Storm, and Loss or Saw Logs.—Oii Fridny
afleruoon the northern counties of the central
part of this State were visited with a most
terrible storm of rain.
Pine creek was higher that it has been known
for many years, and the'Chemung, Tioga, Siti
nemahoning, Kettle Creek and other streams
in this section of the Stale were raised to a
very unusual freshet. Pine creek raised about
nine feet in three hours and committed great
destruction to roads, bridges, farms and lum
bering establishments. The Booms near the
"mouth of the Creek were broken and a vast
quantity of logs escaj>cd. The Williamsport
Boom was undergoing repairs, and was closed
until after daylight. Some of the logs that
were rafted out lor some of the mills below
broke loose about two o'clock in the morning
and they continued to breuk tln-ir fastening'
until after six o clock, when the Booms and
other fastenings were secured. About three
- millions of feet escaped from the Jay-burg,
biliiamsport and Lovalsuck mills. The fas
teuings of the Lock Haven Boom gave way,
where they had been ratting out, nearly the
entire stock escaped, amounting in all to about
15,000,000 feet. About 0,000,000 feet esc ap
ed fmtn the Pine creek Booms Many of
these, logs were caught ir. the Boom at Wiham
sport, how ma! y, we are enable at this time
to determine.
The Jogs comment".d to piss Wiliiam-pirt
about two o'clock in the morning,and at tines
in large quantities until the Boom sik; ■ ded in
stopping them.
The river at U'Uiliam&port at, its highest
point was twelve feet low water. — William

Instrumental Music will not,aaheretofore, be tanght in
the Institution, but by special arrangement--* class will
be taught in a hail adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher ot Vocal Music.
This arrangement lias U-en adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special pains wili be
taken to se ure the greatest progress of those wMiincr to
take lessons In this branch. Terms will be as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per term 810 00
Use of instrument on which to take lessons 30

ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when other* ise, these will be
furnished at a sligtit charge.
It is strongly re ommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, aa better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.

Teachers of Common Schools, prof. ('. It. GOBI"UN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, ha- kiudly consented to organize the Tea

He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Ten< hing, as aiau on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it gr- ttly to their advantage
t. be present during the Fall term.
Prof. GotiunTs connection with the inst'tution is not
such as to In any way interfere with the discharge ot the
regular duties of hi- office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty anil
Trustees in sustaining the high repnlatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, aiul iu rendering it more wor
