STOCKBRIDGE, FEB. 14.
From an Edirgburgb paper ©j a, j ;
Tuefday night left GcorgeDavity^.
for forgery, and James f^h/w, L;< ^
loldier in the 35th regiment,for fee, -
ry, were both condemned at theG.^f
gowCircuit on the 22d of last month,
and who were to have fuffcred on the
26th inst, effected their escape by
means of the following very lingular
stratagem :—
In the evening two men in th ha
bit of clergymen, with white tandr,
&c# biked and obtained admission 10/
the criminals. When the jailor
let them into the room where the
prisoners were confined, he reired
and locked the door behind aim.
Some time af^er they began to hog
psalms, during which they were em
ployed in drilling off their irons, and
in order to prevent a discovery, they
fang so loud, that they completely
drowned the noise of the hammac.
When this uas done, the figging cca
fed, and the jailor having come to
let out the two pretended clergymen,
he had no foener entered the room,
than he was seized, and, while one
of them held a pistol to his breast,
threatening to Ihoot him, if he made
the fmallelt noise or refinance, ano
ther took from him the keys o's the
'prifon. This done they put the jai
'for in irons ; the criminals then ex-
I changed clothes with the other two
men ; and thus, in the habit of two
clergymen, they very deliberately .
walked down stairs, and were let out
of the prison, without 'any fufpecion.
It is remarkable, that in various

est vulgar among the men, have vo
luntarily assisted the city guards in
reducing these priest-ridden viragos
to reason: This ungovernable tem
per in our women is not difficult to
be accounted for. In times past it
has been the policy of the teaching
clergy, always to make fore of the
mistress of the family. No pains
having been previously spared to
make them sincere conver s to the
tenets of bigotry and fanaticifm, the
men, of con sequence, became an ea
sy prey, an d were nor so much atten
ded to. The principles of intole
rance having by these means taken
such deep root in the minds of the
lower clefs of our females, no wonder
that the laws of equity and justice
find it difficult to inipfre them with a
spirit of tolerance in matters of uli,
