Broke Jail. Last evening the prisoners confined in the jail, at this place, concluded they would take their departure for more congenial climes. They had, in some way, obtained pos sess of some lead or type metal, which they manufactured into a key, and un locking the outside door passed out into the jail yard, scaling the wall by means of a rope made of the 'bed clothes. The following letter was found by Sheriff Oyster, together with the key, this morning, in the jail yard: To the Sheriff of Elk County: Dear Sir: We, the undersigned, return you our most heartfelt thanks for the kind ness you have shown us while under your charge. If we thought it would in any way iujure you we would not un dertake so rash an act as to attempt to escape. But Freedom is sweet, and the ingenuity we have used in attaining our liberty, will, we hope, remove any stigma which may be east on your character as a jailor. Signed, James Croak, John Kelley, Pat.

A Luthersburgh sorrespondent writes to us saying: We had quite au excitement in our town on Saturday, caused the narrow escape from death of old Mr llishel, father of Adam llishel. His son Adam came to town in a two-horse wagon, bringing his father, an old man of eighty year3 of age, with him. After attending to their buiucss, they 'gut into the wagon to start home, but just as th'iy got seated, tho horses took fright aud started off at full speed. Adam tried to hold the horses as they ran through town, but in doing so he pulled them ou tho bank of the road, and ho was thrown out of the wagen. The horses ran by tho school house and out by Mr. Shea's and on to near Mr Marshall's where, after already hitting several stumps, the wugon struck the fence, breaking the coupling and tougue, and throwing tho wagon box. with the old gcntlemau in it, off against the fence. The horses ran on to Weaver's trough, where they wero caught. Tho old gentleman rect.ved no hurt, except bruising a couple of his fin gers. Adam is bruised a good deal by his fall. The wheels of tho wagou are all broken and it is a complete wreck. The distance from town to where the old gentleman was thrown out is about a uiile,'and the feelings of the poop le in regard to his fatj, on seeing tho horses start away with him in the wagon aud no one to check their speed, can be im agined. A number started in pursuit, expecting to find him killed, but wero much rejoice! upon learning of his mir aculous escape. Clearfield Republican, 21st inst. Eating Negatations. Never eat when you are not hungry. Never eat when you are very tired. Never eat just before severe ineutal or physical effort. Never eat while in a passion. Never eat when very low spirited. Never eat just beloro a bath. Nevtr eat while greatly worried.- W. W. JIall, M. D. The Printers Estate. We find in an exchange, tho following remarks, which all printers and publishers will agree in calling sensible, and commend them to tho attention of the reader. They will npply to all localities, in which newspapers circulate. The printers dol lars where are they? A dollar hero and a dollar there, scattered over the tho country, miles and miles apart, how shall they be gathered togflthctf Tho paperniaker, the journeyman compositor, the building owner, the grocer, tho tai lor and all assistants to Lira in the carry ing on his business have their demands, hardly ever small as a single dollar. But the mites from here and there must bo diligently gatherod and patiently hoarded, or the wherewith to discharge the liabilities will never become suffici ently bulky. We imagino the printer will have to get up and address to his widely-scattered dollars something like the following : "Dollars, halves, quart ers, dimes and all manner of fractions into which you are dividing, collect yourselves and come home. You are wanted. Combinations cf all sorts of men that help to make the printer a pro prietor gather in such force aud demand with such good reasons your appearance at this counter, that nothing short of you will please them. Collect yourselves, for valuable as you are, you will never pay tho cost of collecting. Come here in single file, that the printer may form you into battallou, and seud you forth again to battle for him and vindicate his feeble credit." Reader, are you sure you havn't a couple of the printer's dollars sticking about your clothes? If you have, order them homo immediately. Worth Tryi.no. Very many ladies of our town, arc posesed ot exquisite taste in arranging and ornamenting their gardens, aud to them we suggest iho trial of a novelty in a hanging garden. Take a white sponge of large size and sow it full of rice, oats or vtlieat. l'luce it for a week or ton days in a shallow dish in which a little water is constantly kept, and'as the sponge will absorb the water, the seeds will sprout before many days. When this lias fairly taken place the spouge may be suspended by cord- in tha sunshine aud wet moderately every day. Tunnelling the Rocky Mount ains. The Denver AVics says a scheme is now on foot for running a tunnel through the Rocky Mountains. The idia is to tunnel the mountains from a point about one mile below Black Hawk to thu Middle l'ark, running in a north westerly direction. The tunnel to bo run will, it is parsnmcd, cut many r ich veins of gold aud silver, and thus a great mining interest be developed. Money ior the prosecution ot the work is fur nished by English capitalists, who are sanguine of tho ultimate success ot the enrei prise. Some idea of I he mtigni'.udii ni the task may be gathered from the fact that the tunnel, if completed, will be twelve miles iu lenirihi It is intended to make it large enough to be used for ! railway purposes, and so, if a road is ever to be constructed to tho Middle Park, it will find its most convenient route through the tunnel. A Divorce in the "Good Old Times." Before the war, in tho j:old miuitig regions of Burke county, N. C, there lived an industrious, well to-do free colored woman named Nancy Ruyce. She was engaged to marry Jack, a slave, and in order to have everything pleas ant, she put her hand in her pocket utul bought him of his master. But she was shrewd enough to take u bill of salo of him, fortunatly, as it happened, for Jack proved to be worthless, aud a perfect sot. But little need was there lor Nancy to CO to the Courts for reliel by divorce. She knew a better way than that. She owned her man, and she simply sold him to a slave-dealer, who carried him off to the far Southwest, so that the sharp Nancy vas never bothered by him again. Husbands have been badly sold before, though not iu this particular way. Quill pens coming in npnin. Texas bees make best honey. Michigan has 51,000 more men than women.

The an nual inquiry for a good whitewash has commenced, and tho following may be found useful : Take halt a bushel of freshly burned lime, slake it with boiling water; cover it during the process, to keep in the steam, Strain the lipuid through a due sieve, and add to it 7 lbs., of salt, previ ously well dissolved in warm water j 3 lbs. of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste and stired in boiling hot water ; i lb. of powdered Spanish whiting, and lib. of clean glue, which has been previously dissolved by soaking it well and then hanging it over a slow fire, in a small kettle withiu a larger one filled with water. Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir it well, and lot it stand a few days covered from dirt. It must bo put on quito hot. For this purpose it can bo kept in a kettle on a portable furnace, About a pint of this mixture will cover a square yard. Mustard Plasters. How many people are there who really know how to make a mustard plaster? Not ouo in a hundred, at the most, perhaps, aud yet mustard plasters are used in every fam ily, and physicians prescribe their appli cation, never tolling anybody how to make them for the simple reason that the doctors themselves do not know, as a rule. The ordinary way is to mix the mustard with water,tempering it with a little flour, but such a plaster as that makes it simply abominable. Before it has half done its work it begins to blis ter tho patient, and leaves him finally with a painful, flayed spot, after having produced fur less effect iu a bcuificial way tli mi was intended. Now a mus. taid plaster should never mule a blister at all. It a blister is wat.tcd, there are other plasters far better than mustard for that purpose. When you make a mus tard plaster, then, use no water whatever but mix the mustard with the white of au egjr, and the result will be a plaster which will "draw" perfectly, but vsill not produce a blister even upon the skin of an infant, no matter how long it is al lowed to remain upon the ptirt. For this we have the word of an old and em inent physician, as well as our own ex perience Excluder. RiMAr. K.A15LK Escape. On Satur day, the. Kail of May, Jefferson Caldwell of Cui wciibvilic, ws landed with a crew of raltuiou at the White Hou"3, above Middbtown. At about eleven o'clock at night it commence! to thunder p'etty i-harp. and he trot up an J went outside to eo that, uli was riht. Upon return im: to the shanty, and jut as he was en tering the door, he ws struck b light uinsj aiiii knocked down. Hie "erew in the iihauty hearing the noise, pot up and found him insensible. Those in the shauiy le'.t Tio effects of the lightiiinjr, while the hands on mi a;ijoiniug raft were sensibly shecked. Mr. Caldwell being well drenched with water and his limbs coiihtintly rubbed, rev ived iu about au hour after he was struck and on Tuesday following was able to reach his home, although seriously injured. An investigation iu the morning showed that the lightning had struck a little hemlock which had been placed on the shanty by boring a hoio in tho roof, pointing the tres a:.d sticking it in, and when the electric charge struck the ruof a portion of it ran along the roof to the stove pipe, tearing pine au! stove to pieces ac l passing into the timber, while another streak pas-ed down the end of the shanty, where Mr. Callwcil was standing, with his left baud braced a-rnitiht the upper corner of the entrance The lightning ran down his left arm aud side, of the hip, and there crossed over hi:- body and down the right leg, ruffling and burning tho skill in its course. This w.is a wonderful escape, and an other remarkable feature is Unit those who were lying by the- side of the stove which was toru to pieces never felt the shock. But the boys declare the shanty was full ot smoke and brimstoue.-Clear-field Republican. ITew Advertisement; i x s s turns? s s.i f, e.
