0TWe notice an attempt to cast some
reflection upon the county commissioners
about the Jail wall, growing out ofthe es
cape of two prisoners last week. Why
did not the author tell the whole story
why not state that the sheriff was from
home, that the prisoners were let into
the yard in the morning without an
examination being made, and that by the
assistance of plank, which had been thrown
IN to them, they scaled the wall. If the
wall was high as Gibralter's rock, with
plank enough it could be surmounted. We
cast no reflection upon any one, but those
who do, should look somewhere else than
to the height OF the wall. Some people
in their anxiety to find fault with others
often turn the tide of censure upon them,

man named Manlove shot man named
Crow in Sassafras Neck, one day this
week. Crow had been to grog shop,
and went INTO the barn ofthe father of
Manlove to lie down, as is supposed.
The young man saw him go in, told his
father Of the fact, and the latter told him
to hail him; which he did; receiving no
answer, the father told the young man 10
shoot, he did so, and killed Crow dead.
BY the side OF the latter two jugs of
whiskey were found. These are the cir
