more "Gazctto gives the following account
of the femalo horse thief recently appre
hended in that city, and scfflenced a few
days sinco to two years imprisonment in
tho Penitentiary. The only name the Am
azon wjll acknowledge is George Wilson,
and her ficrco and untraclablo spirit will
probably sot at nought nil efforts to Ttfirter
hersubmissive to the discipline of thopris'on:
Tim female'is certainly a very extraor
dinary individual, and her personal adven
tures, if she could bo induced to rolato'lhe'm,
would doubtless form a volumo of uncom
mon interests. But she is silent fa almost
every particular in relation to herself. A
few things mentioned to her fellow' prison
ers nave been repeated, -ami 'tlifiy only cre
ate a desire to know moro of her character
onil history. At a very early age, say thir
teen or fourteen, shossumed male attire,
which she has wrjfn with but one or two
brief intermissions, for nine or ton years,
undiscovered. She entered very young as
a sailor before thn mnsf. nnil ImR crossed
tho-occan in tliat capacity eight or nino
times. For stealing, she was some time
since confined in tbo New York state pri
son lor two years fifteen month's'of which
timo were passed in solitary 'confinement.
"While there, she steadily refused to work,

bare back, a regimen of bread and water
ivr wccks at a time, ann -various other pun
ishments were resorted to, but sho remained
immoveable in her determination not to
work, and was only relieved at times from
this severe treatment by direction of tho
physician, who frequently found nature
yielding to severity, Until the term of her
imprisonment expired.
In our state prison, she is equally incor
rigible. No punishment which has yet
been inflicted, or kind persuasion that has
ucch ujjcrcu, -can move her from her nxeu
resolution not to work when imprisoned.
Under -the severest punishmdnt, she shows
not the slightest sign of anger tir emotion;
'and will strip to receive the lash with as
much unconcern as though sho were going
to bed nor does she criniro under the stroke.
Her determined perseverance is a source of
mucn pain to tne Keeper, Who cannot allow
of any insubordination, and has 'therefore to
inflict such punishments as the regulations
oi mo institution demand m cases where
prisoners to refuse to woik-.
In stature she is somewhere about live
feet eight inches, and as muscular as a pu
gilist. Her face looks like the fnrnnf mnn.
It does not show anv tliinir like a "wicked
spirit; but is settled, stern, and th6ughtful
never relaxing into a smile. She, ol course,
knows nothing of woman's work. She can
handle -a needle "frith nn fnrtlipr ilnvlprilv
than will enable her to sew a button "on her
