On a daik and tempestuous tiight
Marshal Baznine escaped from the
island of St. Marguerite, where he bad
been sent by a crazy French Court
Martial lor surremling hi troop and
the f irtrets of MeU. Few ojtside ot
those direct y interested in bis confine
went regret his escape. Tbej rather
couteuiplate it with pleasureable feel
iugs, for it is b-!rered that he was un
just I v convicted. He wis a victim to
the j-alju-y mi l wrv.h of a c-nmn
French f nr. i tiv w;.s ut-t MacMa
hon tried, convicted au 1 seatenoed ?
15 iz une did no w:irs thiu he.
The Marshal's wile, it is said, took a
leading part in the plinning and execu
tion of the escape. S'jc was in a
small boat awaiting his egress from
the fortress, aud when he reached it,
wounded and exhausted, herself took
an oar and helped to row it to tbe ship
in which they completed their escape.

Pome id-a of the amazing numbers
of locusts out west is formed by the
fact that ou the line of the St. Joseph
and Deurer Railroad, between Axtalt
and Reattie.'they covered the track two
inches deep, and although theengiuecrs
put ou a powerful head of steam and
tiied to drive through them, the train
was nine hours going eleven miles! On
tbe same road a train pulled out of
Senaca on time, tut, encountering the
locusts, was driven ba;k and had to
wait u tn 1 1 the myriads of insects Lad
crossed the line. As this was in Kan
Mis the grain crops there are threatened
as well as in Mitiuesota and Iowa.
Of the extent of the ravages 110
present conjecture can be formed,
but in the regions occupied by
homestead settlers tbe suffering is se
vere. Tbe western journals still persist
in calling the insects grasshoppers,
though they differ entirely from that
species, and are clearly locusts. The
visitation carries complete destruction
to all vegetation in their path, and it
now seetns that they are a very serious
obstruction to railways, as the crushed
bodies of the locusts nil the tracks and
prevent the wheels from taking bold on
the rails. .YorfA American.

A fclu.rt time ago, Robert M. Mack
ey, son of i nomas JJackey, residing
near New London, this county, left his
father's Loose for southern Delaware,
for the purpose of purchasing cattle, be
being a drover. That was tbe last time
he was seen alive by Lis family. On
Friday of last week the body of a man
was found iu the Chesapeake & Dela
ware canal, near 0 Je-sa, Delaware. He
was unknown, and upon his person there
was nothing to identify biui, except tbe
initials MU. W. M." iugraved upou his
tobacco box, and a pass book contain
ing the names cf parties in the vicinity
of New London, and JeunervHle. No
enort was maac iy me parties unoing
iw . . . i .- i
the boa to ascertain Iroru these reler-
ences in the pars book, any clue to the
dead man's history, but after a bisty
trial and a verdict of accidental drown
ing, the body was interred. Later,
however, news reached Odessa that a
person closely auswering the descrip
tion of the drowned person, was miss
ing from New London, and immediately
parties started for tbe father's home,
where, after a description of the corpse
and tbe exhibiting of the articles found
upon the deceased, the distressed lather j
I 7 I
proceeded to Odersa and bad tbe body
disinterred and brought Lome for burial.
From the fact that the deceased was a
drover, and that be left home with a
large amount of money and wheu found
was p.-nuiless, ther is suspicion that
his drowning was not accidental, but
that be was robbed and murdered. We
have not learned whether or not any
effort will be mado to investigate the
affair. Tl.e deceased was about 35
years old, and an unmarriee man.
Since writing the above we have
learned tbe following further particu
lars, in relation to tbe case of Mr.
Mackey : On Wednesday of last week,
the 29: h, he drove to Newark, in Dei
aware, and there fell in with a roan
named Joseph Taylor, living neir Jen-
nerville, Ldderzook former home. j
After drinUinu together freely. Mackey !
. . , c 1
aud Taylor drove away together to t?t.
Georce's, several miles distant, aud
- . , . , , !
there they orac more, lackey paying ;
ho hilla km! exhihitin considerable
money, while Taylor appeared to have
njne. This, according to present iu
fonuation. was the last seen of Mackey
alive; and subsequently Taylor ap
peared at Odessa alone, iu possession of
Mackey 's horse aud buggy, and iu stop
muz at the hotel displayed a lar;e sum
of money. Driving away he returned 1
on TLuriday, to Middletown, near
Odessa, sold the horse aud bu"!TV for I
half their value, and disappeared. On
Friday the body was found, and it is
now reported that marks of violence
appeared on it, though none were re
ferred to in the verdict of the coroner's
jury. Taylor is represented to be a
person of previously bad character, who
had forged his father's name and com
mitted other criminal acts.
In some particulars this bears a re
semblance to the l.'dderzook case

dead man a resideut of Jenuerville, the
scene of the great tragedy in which
Udderzook played so conspicuous a part.
