RIcHsIoND, APRIL l9.-Quite Il Hero
ine.-Uuder this head, the Fincas'le Dem
ocrat gives an account of the ingenious es
cape OF one Of the coun erie ;.:rS. whose
conviction and sentence to ten years impr.
sonment, we noticed few DAYS SINCE
Heath has made his escape. The demo-
crat relates the circumstance as follows {:
"The wife of the prisoner was admitted
by the TAILOR to an Interview with her hus
band, representing that she was about TO
leave this country. and that it was the last
time she expected 10 see him. Atier some
time, the iailor returned % the prisoners
arartmen,, and found Mrs. Heath (as was
supposedly ready TO leave her husband--
wrapped up in a cloak and her face con-
cealed by her bonnet. Thus a.tired she
was suffered to pass odt Of tic prison, all
the time sobbing aloud in the greatest appa-
rent distress. On visiting the jail next
morning, instead Of the convict, Mrs. Heath
was found neatly dressed in the clothing Of
her husband, who had been permitted % pass
out in the manner described, the night pre-
vious. The heroine, af,er 4 loud laugh,
explained to her vislter, the secret Of her
l,asta d's escape"
