During last week, an individual who had
been confined in this Co. jall for some time
for various offences, the last of which was
Tor an attempt 10 break jail, made his es-
cape IN the following cunning manner. For
some days previous TO the time he made
his escape. he had been in the habit Of lay
ing himself upon his bed in the same post
tIon, about the lime he expected the sheriff
to lock his door. On the evening of his
escape he had prepared, by siufiing suit
of his clothes with straw, a paddV, and a
face smile Of his own form, which he plac.
ed IN his bed; representing him, in the po-
stion he had prac,ised for the time we have
mentioned, with a newspaper over its face,

paired to the yard, with a rope he had made
of his blanket, and secre!ed himself. When
the hour for locking up had arrived, in the
evening, the Sheriff proceeded to perform
his duty-~lOoked into the apartment
ndstook the paddy for the prisoner, and
locked itua securel y for the night. Every
thing passed off quietly until morning, when
it was too late to lind that the prisoner had,

came SO troublesome in his pranks that !,
was threatened by the Captain if they vera

hung hole for the admission Of air. That
night the ship encountered violent storm

boy, rolled over into the sea. The circum-
stance was not noticed by those on board.
Fortunately TIE cask struck bung m, and
hoated about thirty hours when it was
thrown upon the Beach at Cape St. Bias.
Here the boy made desperate efforts to ex-
trica'e himself from his prison without suc-
cess, and in despair gave up to die. Some
cows however strolliag on the beach, were
attracted 70 the casl;, and in walking around
1t, one of the number it being fly time..

after running some two hundred yards with
the cnoK struck it agaiustd 10y on me beach
and knocked it as we say, into cock'd hat.
The boy thus provdentialy released was
discovered by some fishermen on the point
and taken into Apaachicola, where small
