ATTEMPT TO srRANGLE A JAlLoR.

On Thursday evening, while the turn.
key Of the city Jail was in the act Of ex-
aiming the cells Of the prison, and lock
ing up The criminals for the night. he was
siezed by the throat by avery powerful
fellow named Smith. (who is under con-
fnement for embezzling 36 barrels Of
-four. and choked until liieless. Smith
then took the key Of the gaze leading ing
TO the prison from The keeper. and giving
the jsilor's usual signal 10 the black fellow
in the yard. the inner door was opened.
(From the yard 70 the prison there are two
doors, the inner one Of wood, which is
fastened with lock aud key; the outer
one Of bariron. fastened with long iron
bolt Smith then attempted 10 hoist The
bolt which fastens the outer door, but
the negro bad the presence Of mind TO
seize the lower end Of it, and by pulling
il with force, bent il 10 such way that
the prisoner could not hoist it. The a.
larm was speedily given, and the scoun-
drel, finding himself foiled in his efforts
to escape, returned 10 his cell, Lieut.
Wilkinson. Of the watch, was al once sent
for. and arrived al the jail, accompanied
by two Of bis men, in few minutes al,
Ter the occurrence. Finding Smith 10
his cell, Lieut.. w. ordered him to come
out. but the prisoner refusing to obey, be
was dragged forth by The walchmen, and
snugly slowed away in irons. We are
glad 10 learn that the jailor has NOT been
very seriously injured and We hope this
attempt on his life will teach BIN better
than 10 be visiting the cells alone. with
out the means Of defending himself.
