the other four with larceny, The circumstances of
the case are these In the morning, about o'clock,
Mr. Armour, the calaboose keeper, went into the
caaboose to replenish the fire, and while there no.

posts Of the prisoners cell by handkerchief, and
on inquring the cause, was told that it was to keep
the rats out of the water Satisfied with this answer,
he went home about six o'clock to breakfast, and
during his absence the prisoners escaped. seems

GENUS AND Bella HAIL. We notice in the last
Genius of Liberty, that the editors pounce upon
Bella Hail. an old brother blacksmith of ours, in real
eagle shape. They not only tear the pockets of the
poor fellow, but actually dig the eye-balls out of his
head Although these editors are rather savage in
this case, we do not attach much blame to them, be
cause Bella had just thrown his hammer at them,
through the Mercury, and if we were in their places
should try to fix the fellow so that he could not
find another hammer to throw. AS near as we can
learn, this Vulcan chap about as efficient in his
recent agency as he in obtaining subscribers to
the Voice few years since; and when we learned
that he was the Agent Of the Genius, we guessed to
oursrlf about how much benefit that paper would
derive from the man who sometimes looks one way
but HAULs another!

VOICE OF ISDUsrRY.-This paper which was
formerly published at Lowell, but more recently at

management of the paper for short time, but he
and Mr. JAours sent out their valedictories on FRI
day last.
The Boston Daily Wing establishment is offered
for SALE and we judge the publisher, Mr.. Shepard,
designs soon to discontinue that paper. We were
well pleased with both papers, and regret that the
publishers have found it necessary to soil out or
discontinue.

FATAL OCcURREHcE.-On Friday morning 18th

rocks in the garden of Col. j. D. Mitchell, near the

As we have the report, another man stood near by
when Mr. Cowan was about firing the fuse-but
was walking away from the rock when he heard
the report-turned round and saw the deceased
about six feet in the air and descending The face
was most shockinGy mutilated, and this death sum
mons was so cnectual that struggle was seen af-
ter the body fell.
We learn that the deceased was nm Englishman,
and had been in this country only about eight
months.

The wings elected 10 of the IS Aldermen. The
Assistant Aldermen stood wings to democrats.
A pretty even run, We think.
Brooklyn gave large majority Of votes for the
wing candidate for Mayor, and elected large ma
jorty of the other officers.
