ADMITTED.—On Monday last, on motion of A. W. Benedict, Esq., E. H. Miles, of this borough, was admitted to practice in the soy eral Courts of this district. Mr. Miles passed a most creditable examination. We predict for him a brilliant future. Wo have only room to give the Ticket nominated by the Union Convention, in this is• sue:—Assembly, Col. Wharton; Prothonotary, Jas. E. Glasgow ; Register, dm., H. Glazier ; Treasurer, P. Lane ; Commissioner, G. W. Matteru ; Director of the Poor, Perry Moore ; Auditor, Philip Stevens. J. S. Stewart recei• veil the Senatorial Conferees. Proceedings in our next. .11Cr The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the German Reformed Church, was witnessed by a great concourse of people, in this place, on Saturday afternoon last. Rev. S. H. Reid delivered an address on the occa sion, which, we are free to say, we have seldom heard equalled—it is unnecessary for us to add thilaoysyscm,...ajl have over had the that he stands unrivaled. The proceedings passed off very pleasantly. bar The elections in the Southern Stales have resulted in sweeeing victories of the De. mocratie party. In Kentucky they have elec. ted a State Treasurer, eight of the ten men, hers of Congress, and a majority of the Legisla• lure. The latter secures the election of a Do. moerat to the U. S. Senate, to succeed John It. Thompson, Whig. In Alabama the Demo erotic candidate for Governor has been elected without opposition, and all their candidates fur Congress. The same party has carried five out of the eight members in North Carolina. War The Locofocos have suddenly discover ed that it very improper for a candidate (or Governor to take to the stump in an election eering canvass. With all their boasting of Gen. Packer's talent and eloquence, they are afraid to permit him to enter the lists a. gainst Judge Wilmot, in discussing the impor. taut principles at issue in the approaching struggle. The Pennsylvanian, a few days ago was especially severe in denouncing the prac tice, but unfortunately for its consistency, the very same number contained a notice that Gen. P. would soon address a Mass Meeting of Locofocos in Clarion county t The people, af• ter this dodge, will have no difficulty in seeing where the shoe pinches. Is A - NEGRO A C trues ?—The case of Mit chell (colored) vs. Lamer, (white) iu the U. S. Circuit Aiourt, at Chicago, was decided on the 14th inst. Mitchell, residing at Galena, 111, sues Lamar, of Wisconsin, for damages com mitted upon his person iu a brutal assault. The plea of the defence wee, that Mitchell, be ing a negro, is not a citizen of the U. Stalest and could not therefore bring a suit before a United States Court. Much interest was man ifested in the result. Judge McLean held, itidge Drummond concurring, that the plain tiff had never been a slave, nor a descendant front slave ancestry, and the presumption was that he was a citizen of Illinois. and come quently entitled to sue in the Federal Courts. So negroes are citizens, the Dred Scott deci sion to the contrary notwithstanding, and can sue and be sued in the Federal Courts. go- The Ohio defalcation is now definitely ascertained by the official examination of the books of the Auditor and Treasurer, at Colum• bus, to have amounted to $728,691 01 on the 13th of June, 1857, of which it is proven that John G. Breslin, the former Democratic State Treasurer, was the defaulter; as, of more than one million of dollars which he took from the treasury, he only returned $353,000. It is, however. said that, for a portion of the deficit mentioned, Breslin subsequently furnished de preciated bank paper amounting to $154,636 31 leaving the State loser outright to the tune of $574.854 65. Gibson, the lute Republican Treasurer, claims tLat instead of b.ing in ar rears on his own account, he has a balance of $16,000 due him by the State, and there can be little doubt that he became the victim of a desire to screen his relative, Breslin. The lat. ter has fled to IVindsor, Canada, where his fa.l mily has joined him. A rumor having reached him that a Cincinnati policeman would be sent to secure his arrest, he armed himself thorough ly with pistols, r es, etc., to resist. It is said that it will be i rnpossible torecover any of the money lost through him. . Muss Among Ye "Dead Rabbits." "How now, you secret, black and midnight hags What jet you do ? Saturday last was a day long to be remem• bered and will be sorely felt by the Locofoco "Dead Rabbits." It witnessed the complete rout of one wing of the "unterriGed" and the triumph of another. At an early hour the lea ders of the immaculate "Dead Rabbits" began drumming up their forces, to elect delegates— and as it was rumored that opposition to or in favor of a sale of the public works, would be made an issue in the election of said delegates, a lively time generally was expected. Two del egates who were in favor of the sale were elect ted over two oppositionists, by a most trium phant majority—the vote standing GO to G. During the progress of the election, several pugilistic demonstrations were made by two of the leaders of the rival factions, resulting, how ever, in no sakes damage. The "talking" was "orful," and we ate told that one of the beligerents became intensely poetical, and waving a billet of wood over his head, a /a Ted• dy the Tiler, burst forth with a "Phillaboo, Hullaboo, whack, hurrah ! Fight away, tear away—Erie go bragh I" Not to be outdone, however, his opponent, ex tending the "right arm of the Democratic par ty of Huntingdon county" towards him, an swered in the language of Kingsley— .41irelingonammonite, pedant and knave, Crawl to your muskrat hole ! —sneak to your grav'e." Further trouble was stopped by the friends of the pugilists. This is another example of that harmony which the Locofocos would fain have us believe exists it: their ranks. Who denies that they are "split all round V' Thus it will be seen that the "Dead Rabbits" endorse the sale of the pubiie works, by a very extraordinary vote. Can they consistently en dorse Wm. F. Packer, their candidate for Gov ernor, knowing him to have been bitterly oppo sed to the sale; knowing him to be a public plun derer, a "canal robber"; knowing him to have become rich at the expense of over.burthened tax payers. We shall see. But if there is any . honor or consistency remaining in the party, 'they will spurn this aristocratical nabob, who has not the coursge to meet the champion of truth, David Wilmot, for fear his plunderings would be exposed. From Kansas. The collection of the taxes imposed by the Territorial Legislature, is reported to be the main object or Governor Walker's dernonstra• tion against Lawrence. No taxes have over been paid, though it is now three years since the territory was opened. These taxes are its posed by a Legislature never lawfully elected, and will go to pay the expenses of the grossest - - usurpation ever perpetrated in the United States. The lion. A. G. Brown, of Mississip pi, is reported as having said in a peech at Yazoo, that he heard it from the President's own lips, that this thing of squatter sovereign ty was one of the most damnable heresies that ni ear, bcfotemihNitgrillnuthgtgiVelh thing undone to throttle it. Mr. B. had told the speaker this in all sincerity, and he believed him. Ile had no doubt but teat Walker's ap. ',ointment will be cancelled. A correpoinlent of the Boston Traveller, writing from Osawkee, ander date of July 18th says: "An instance or the manner in which justice is dealt out to free State men in pro slavery districts, occurred at Tecumseh yesterday.— ' Henry Boynton, a free State man who lives seven miles from that town, is surrounded by pro.slavery neighbors, who have attempted to drive him from his claim. One, named Adayns, has been especially offensive, and on three se• veral occasions has attempted to shoot Boynton, without any previous assu nit having been made upon him. Boynton had bins arrested and ta ken before the United States Commissioner at Tecumseh, and although he made out a clear MC, the Commissioner refused to hold Adams over on any serious charge, but simply placed both parties under $5OO bonds to keep the peace. During the trial, Mr. Newstm (the Territorial prosecuting attorney, elected by the bogus Legislature) pronounced Boynton a d—d liar. After its conclusion, Boynton as ked ass explanation of the language, when he repeated it, .d at she same instant struck bins spots the head with a bowie knife, inflicting a wound upon the temple from two to three in ches long. Boynton, though blinded by the blow, bad sufficient strength left to knock Newsom through an open deer, into an adjoin. ing office ; but he was instantly set upon by the bystanders, including Adams, who had been pieced under bonds to keep t h e peace not five minutes belt., and was compelled to flee for his life. He has gone to Lawrence as the only place of safety in the vicinity, for a few days. The Old State Canals, The Philadelphia Evening Argos says it is understood that the Union Canal Company are negotiating with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for the purchase of the line of the State Canal train Columbia to Pittsburg, re. costly sold by the State, and that capitalists largely interested in the Union canal and the Schuylkill Navigation are disposed, if the line can be obtained at their rate, to invest largely in the effort to make this water route to the West efficient and productive, as we have little doubt it can be. The negotiations, as yet, have assumed no positive shape, but it is un derstood to be the desire of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to keep the whole line open and their propositions as to terms and the reg ulations in reference to freight passing over the mountains, &e., are understood to be quite liberal. The company desire naturally, to devote their whole energies to make thefr now contin• tutus line of railway from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in the highest degree productive and efficient in meeting the requirements of trade and travel, and it is not doubted that in the hands of a single management, distin• guished for intelligence and experience, this great central route will be able to defy all cow• petition and realize the design of its projee. tor. Nor will the keeping open of the line of canal in any way injure, but rather, advantage the business of the road. There appears to be Iberality in the propositions submitted on both sides, and we hope to see the pending ne. gatnations result satisfactorily. for The American Republican delegate meeting in this borough, was harmonious. The delegates were elected by acclamation. Another Horrible Tragedy in Chester County. About the 10th of July a mon named William Baugh and a colored man were hay-making in West Pikeland township, with a slight prove cation, the former ran the pitchfork several times into the latter, not, however, wounding him dangerously. The black man made com plaint before a magistrate, when a warrant was issued for Baugh's arrest. M. Moses, the con stable, tried to persuade him to submit to an arrest, but he said he would not be taken, but he would kill any man who might attempt it. Word was sent to West Chester, when consta ble Lynch. who is not a very able bodied man, deputized Milton Layman to assist him; they arrived at the house of Baugh on Saturday morning last, about six o'clock and found him at his wood pile with a sharp axe in his hand. He told them at once that he would not be ta ken, hut would kill the first man who should touch him. Lynch, the constable, read his warrant and corntnanded Layman to seize him when 13augh who had bsen standing with the axe uplifted, brought it down on the neck and shoulders of Layman, making a gash nearly three inches deep I The wounded man in an instant took a revolver from Lynch's hand and and fired at the villain, but the ball glanced from the axe helve and only grazed his shoe!. der. Baugh rushed at the deputy again, when be was seized around the arms by Lyt.ch. and the whole party were borne to the earth togeth er. After a desperate struggle they succeeded in hand-culling and getting him into the light wagon, when they started fur Lionville, two miles off. After proceeding for some distance, Layman finding his strength failing from loss of blood, told his companion that he must get other help to secure his prisoner, when the ma nacled desperado seized the opportunity of at tempting to force Lynch from the wagon, when the latter drew his pistol ; Baugh seized it, and after a desperate struggle between the three for the weapon, Lynch succeeded in discharg ing it at the temple of Baugh, who fell over and expired in about an hour afterwards. Baugh is noted in the; neighborhood as a desperate character, although a man of some property; indeed, he was so well known that the first officer was afraid to arrest hint ; and a black man who was summoned to assist, about the time he was shot, was also afraid to inter fere against him. The axe in descending on the wounded man, cut through 16 thicknesses of cloth, splitting slightly the jugular vein, and during the strug gle Baugh thrust his hand into the wound, greatly increasing the hemorrhage. Layman lies in a very low condition, though the doctors think he may recover if serious inflammation does not ensue. The officers are worthy of all praitiO4iteir conduct being universally justified.

There are now about one hundred Wilmot papers in the Commonwealth embracing all the political journals in tie State that are not either Locottico out right, or playing into the hands of Packer bi• the support of the llaz.lenut ticket. Opposed to the Sale. The liarri;il;nrg Union, on being intcrroga• ted by the Telegraph, respecting the pusition of Gun. Ricker apse the bill fur the sale of the Main Line of the Public Works, says it has the best authority for declaring that Gen. P. was unempromising opposed to the count. meet of the Legislature of 185 i ,, authorizing the sale; and that he believed it tmcoastittt• tional and an outrage. The great mass of the people of the State, who rejoice that the Main Lino has been sold, should malts a note of this. The Next Congress. The Congress which is to assemble in Da• comber; will be in the hands of National Ad• ministration. As (or as elections have been held, the condition of parties stands, 91 Re. publicans, 78 Democrats, 2 South Americans, and 3 vacancies. The States yet to elect are all Southern, and will of course return Anti. Republican members. They number 60, which added to 78 Democrats, as above slated, would give a total of 138, and with the vacan cies, 140 on a party contest. Toe SALE OF TUE LINE—TUE TRANSFER— TUE •DEND TIIEREVOIL—The Deed conveying the Main Line of the Public itnprevernents to the Pennsylvania Railroad company has been signed by the Hon. A. G. Curtin Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This will be 11(1 news to the honestly disposed cit. izens. State has, as is well known, spent an enormo s amount of money on these itn• provernents, and by mismanagement lost large sums of money. We kayo no doubt that the Stockholders will new receive some profit from the large in. vestments they have made, for some of our most skilful business men are connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. On Thursday last, the 30th of July, the State debt was reduced, by the payment on the part or the Company of the sum of seven and a half millions of dollars—that amount having been paid to the State Treasurer, and the money is to be applied to reducing the State debt. The Company will of course pay interest on the bonds, which will reduce the State debt to that extent. entil Notts; A cuiers awing ye takin' notes, And faith, he'll yrent it.

Up. wards of one hundred and fifty rounds were fought, the fight lasting about three hours. Fifteen or twenty fights were going on : at the time putside the ring, and drunkenness was al most universal. Religion seems to have en tered somewhat into the affair, one of the par. tics to the fight being a Catholic and the other a Protestant Irishman. Poison—Tea—The Chinese. Much apprehension iq felt among the tea drinkers, lest the Chinese who hate all foreign. ere, and at present have especial cause to hate English, for their unjust aggression, should poison all the tea and other articles of luxury, for which the world is dependent on them. It is knoWn that the administration of poison is their favorite mode of effecting their revenge. It is also known that they have already tried in that manner to wreck their vengeance on the English (including all foreigners) since the working out of the hostilities between them and the English. While it is almost irration al to suppose that any nation—the Chinese even—however insulted, injured, oppressed, by any nation, would run the risk of running its foreign commerce forever, by poisoning all its exports, which are brought by the civilized nations of the north, just to revenge a wrong committed by one nation ; yet caution admon ition, especially when coming from such a din. tinguished source as the London Timm, should not lightly be passed over. We therefore give for idiot it is worth, the following short'extract from that journal "Is there anybody foolish enough to suppose that the Chinese will not poison every box or chest of ten, preserved ginger, sweet-meats, chow.chow' ' marmalade or anything else flint is exported for the use of foreigners'? We be. liens honestly and- truly that the destruction of human life in this country and America from the use of poisoned tea, will he the most fearful calamity that ever Visited the two countries in thin century. It will kill more people in Eng land than were killed in the Crimes. It will destroy mote hoot on life in the U. States than one wars, the yellow fever, or the cholera. People continue to,-drinli tea, and think there is no danger ! It will be a fatal mistake. Wait until the cargoes of ten now en the way to our ports are landed. Those who dream we shall escape poisoned tea, had better peeserve the extracts front the Times. We him no doubt our warning, articles about tea will save thou. sands of lives in this country. We wish all wuuld take warning in time." The End Draws Nigh. Under this caption the Times ;peaks blunt. ly of the ultra American movement. It says that sines the southern twelfth section was a• dopted in its platform, the party has declined in strength; until now it is utterly broken both North and t outh. Almost all thnt wns essen• tial and vital in its strength, has gone over in the North, to the Republican party. The de• feat of Mr. Fillmore was the signal for a gene ral stampede to those who still adhered to its fallen fortunes. In the South, its remaining strength is fast oozing away. The election in Kentucky evinces clearly that there is no more hope for it even upon its chosen soil. What prospect is there, then, of its resuscitation into a national party ? There in none—there can be none. Where,then, will the honest portion of those now go who have still clung fondly to it? They must seek some new affiliation. They cannot remain isolated. Those who prefer Democrat. is principles to thostrof Republicanism, will go thither. But those who desire to see fairly what was substantial in the doctrines of their putty, carried out, will, at least in Pennsylvania, rally to the support of Wilmot: THE CANVASS DECLINED-PACKER BACKED OUT !--Gen. Packer the Democratic midi. date for Governor of Pennsylvania has declined to canvass the State in company with Judge Wilmot. Packer referred Wilmot's lour to the Democratic State Central Committee, who upon consideration, declined snatching a dis• cussiun of the slavery issues. Just as everybody expected—his party views on the subject wont bear discussion be.. fore the people. Here is his letter. Williamsport lit., fulp 27, 1857. Hou. D.

You will receive herewith a copy of my let ter !o the Committee, as also their reply, by which you will perceive that your suggestion dues not meet their approval, and that, for reasons stated at length, I ought not to secede to your proposition.

The contemplated fraud was made known to the District Attorney by her medical adtfiser, and measures were taken to detect and expose her design. tinder the counsel of the officer mentioned, the doctor feigned compli• once with Mrs. Cunningham's plot, and proton. ded to have found a "California widow" who, being about to become a mother, desired to dispose of her child. Mrs. Cunningham ea gerly seized upon this, and undertook to get ill. The doctor borrowed a child from the Belleville Hospital, and it was sent to the boom in Bond street, where the denoument took place on Monday noon. There Mrs. Cunningham took it with a motherly affection, in the presence of a nurse and her former physician. Dr. Catlin. In the midst of the proceedings the police marched in and arrested all the ',fifties Dr. Catlin and the nurse were taken to the police station house; but Mrs. Cunninghan, still feigning to be ill from her acoucheinent, was allowed to remain in her chamber under the surveillance of the police.

Y., for being in male attire. Catharine, it is stated, has lived in Oswego, some nix months, nll tho time in the employ of Mr. Jones, fruit dealer, as an errand boy, etc., and has been noted for her honesty, modesty, industry and general good behavior. She says she has been in male attire, fur three years, and assumed the dress in order to earn bo i ler wages than she could get as a girl ; and she had succeeded in laying up a little money. She is aged t 9, and a dirk knife was found upon her person, which she states she carried for the purpose of defending herself, should her sex ever have been disco, ered, and no attempt made to trifle with her honor, Huntingdon County Entitled to the Sena• Mcnonni EDITORS As the conference will soon assemble to place in nomination a candidate for Senator of the District composed of Huntingdon, Bedford, and Somerset, it is proper to any a word in re• lotion to the incontestible claims of Hunting. don county to the nominee. In 1811, thirteen years ago, John Morrison, of Huntingdon coml. ty was elected Senator from Bedford and Hun. tingdon counties, and Alexander King, of Bedford minty was elected from the seine din. trict, (Blair being then a separate county in. eluded therein) in 1847. Another apportion ment was then made which constituted Hun. tingdon, Blair and Cambria counties a Senate. rial District, and R. A. MeMurtrie was elected to represent it in 1850. In 1853 Cambria county furnished the Whig nominee, but he was defeated by Jelin Cresswell of Blair. Last fall Huntingdon was considered clearly entitled to the candidate but was again passed by. A new apportionment of the State was made last winter, which constitutes Huntingdon, Bedford and Somerset a district; and as Bedford does not claim the candidate, (having had two sena tors, since Huntingdon had one—one of whom Mr. Jordan, has just gone out of office) the contest lies with this county and Somerset. Now, which of those two have the strongest claim? Somerset had a Senator who went out of office three years ngo. She has furnish ed Conzressmen, Senators and Judges to all districts with which she has been connected for many years back. Bet further she is now connected with Hun. tingdon in a Congressional District, the latter having had one term in the person of Dr. John McCulloch, and she having two terms in the person of John H. Edie. In all the district nominations, where other counties presented candidates to her voters, 'Huntingdon county stood manfully by tham, and cast her votes with unfaltering fidelity. Site feels now that reciprocity and the courtesies usually extended by county to county in the harmonious arrange• menu of their path ical affairs, when forming district, requit, that she should have the can didate at this thee. JUSTICE. ror We heartily endorse the sentiments emtained in the above. We should and must have the State Senator. Zit- The People's Advocate, sty county says that Mr. John Shaffer, hitherto a firm and reliable Democrat of New Buffalo, has been dismissed from the Foremanship of the Susquehanna Canal from the Junction to Northumberland, to make room for a raw Irish Roman Catholic, named Holland. Holland is one of tl.e last imp l / 4 ations of Archbishop Hughes from Irelatid, and is not yet a natural. ized citiz.n.

The Pope is a .e.id in Perry lEirJolin H. Stringfellow, the fatuous pre slavery leader in Knneac, publishes a letter in the Letuotrat, saying that in January last the proslavery puny in Kansas abandoned it or• ganization ; that at that time a national Demo. credo party oat organized in the Territory, and nominated as its eittollillite for Congress, ex• Governor Ransom, of Michigan, who, he says, hod never before taken any part in Kale sea politics, and who is not a pro slavery man nor the candidate of the pre•slavery party The whole tone qd the letter, emsidering the party addressed, is significant that Stringfellow himself no longer cares a button fur slavery. Letters from Kansas say that in consequence of the fears that the overwhelming preponder ante of Free Stat., men in the Territory will induce them to break up by force the Constitu tional convention at Lecompton, and also . to ta..e possession of the election polls in October, the United States troops are to he quartered at all the prominent points to protect the pro.slin very officials. The new apportionment of Kansas Territory fog members of the Legislature is published in the western papers. On examining our map, we find it fully justifies the telegraphic accounts characterizing it as intended to disfranchise the Free State men. Another Mob in Kentucky. A Mintaler Dragged out of the I ttlidt while Preaeholg.—Cunanina, Rockcastle Co., Ky., July 22.—Last Sunday, as Rev. John G. Fee was preaching., at this place, an armed mob forced their way into the church, seized loin and two other ministers who were with him, thee. J. Richardson and Rev. J. M. McLean, and after abusing and insulting thew, finally decided that they should bo token out of• the county. Mr. Fee was struck on the head and considerably injured. On the way out—a din• twice of about ten tniles—query opportunity was improved by the mob to insult and abuse their victims, and they heralded through the neighborhood they passed that they had three horse-thieves and nigger.thieves, that they were going to lynch. The mob was composed of the lowest class of Kentuckians, awl, all of them drunk ; yet such is the state of public opinion that it would be uncles to prosecute. This has long been an antislavery place, but the immechate cause alb° outrage was the at• tempt to establish a school there. Schools are regarded us most dangerous and incendiary in stitutions in this part of Kentucky.— Cincinnati Gazette.

Kim, condemned to be hung on the dist of this month, for the murder of young Doctor Norcross. The prisoner was free in his man ner and communicative us ever. He still keeps up his jocular vein of conversation, as if to stn• press visitors with the idea that he feels no con• cer•n in regard to his impending fate, while at the same time he frankly admits that lie has no hope of escape. Since his late attempt to escape, by cutting his hobbles, he has been ironed more securely, and indeed presents store the appearance of a wild beast or a maui• an, than a rational Kaman being. He him chains attached to both legs, in addition to hobbles, in addition to which be is closely handcutTed. The reader cats possibly form some idea of his painful situation, but language cannot fully describe it. lie is, ns it were. buried alive. And yet, such is his remarkable character, that with but u little over three weeks to live—With the full knowledge that his body is to swing upon the gallows, and then fill a murderer's grave—he can yet indulge in jests and frivolous conversation. An individual who occupies the next cell, one night last week tore otr a portion of the plastering, fur the pur• pose of setting the plastering on fire, This circumstance gave McKim no little satisfaction and when speaking of the matter he remarked that his next door neighbor was a good me• chanic, and did not like to remain idle. But as fur himself, although he lobed industry, he lots at mosent bound to remain in inactivity. He would wet*, if he could only get a chance, but his hands were tied, and if he died for want of exercise the blame should rest upon other. than hiwetlt;—lii s•narg Union. Desperate 'Attempt to Brea Jail —Baron Trenck Rivalle7. This Chain homburg "Valley Spire has au account of an attempt of two persons to release tht mselves from the county jail, which rivals the exploits of Baran Trenck : "Theprisoners engaged in this attempt, aro the burglars Barns and Kelley, imprisoned on a charge of arson. Barns, by the aid of a case kill°, converted into a saw, severed the iron bar of his hobbles and freed hinisellot his fe lets The wall of the room in which they were lodged is constructed of brick ; and is about three feet and a half in thickness ; barsj citron are built in the well at such n distance' apart as not to allow the passage of a man's body between them.

By means °fame Manufactured cut of their beibelothing, they descended into the prison yard and passed the greater part of the right in filuitless attempts to scale the wall by the aid of their ropes. Morning beginning to dawn and their grapples obstinately refusing to take hold on the top of the wall, they aband oned - the idea of escaping in that way, and, with des peration, they attacked the wall itself. In or• der to do this they were necessitated to re-enter the prison and obtain the•pieee of brbken sho vel which had done them such good service in tearing down the wall of the house. The re entrance into the prison teas effected by means of the plank of which the steps are constructed that leads Con the buildings into the yard. Having obtained their implement, they set to work on the holid masonry of the massive wall. A small chink was discovered, in whirl, the point of the shovel would.barely enter—a little mortar was loosened—a small particle of stone gave way, then another and another, larger and larger, followeff. So.ya workmen about the depot, passing the prison at an early hour, discovered what tons going on and gave the alarm to the sheriff. Ott entering the prison yard, no one was to he timed.
