The necessi ty forthcse sanitary regulations is rendered more I urgent, in view of the rapid approach of the Chol era to our borders. The secure keeping of the prisoners requires the substitution of new locks for those now in use: the escape of one ingenious inmate from his cell, Would in a fewittieutets work, effect a "general jail deliv ery.".

Whilst attending college, it was customary during thV daY of the fall muster, to dispense with college exercises. On the day of the regimental mister inlets , - fall of 1820, Jo. was engaged in hulling. - ,Welnuts, a few miles below Blotunington; and wai observed by some, passers by. The walnuts were kept till winter, and sold by him' to snit+ of the ;wealthy students, and the proceeds expended in the, pur chase of books, and applied to the support of his widowed mother. It so happened inlthe .fall of 1827, that one of the`persona wlio,hati recognized Jo. the previous fall, engaged in hulling Walnuts, attended the regular inhibition of the college studenfai and amorig,lthe speakers was Jo., who is described hy ;he author:of ,a hook nu' common • in Indiana, by the name': of 4 , HentY;'• ashaving '; delivered an addressdit.'‘Mitn,";lialafter.theiesp ercisea Of ilicday hafflcioised, and. the , subject lof the speeebe.s. was under 'consideration, - our traveler remarked; "for inY pqrt, .1 ,1* flee walnut.
