SHREwD ESCAPE FROM THE AUBURN PR1soN-
RECArTURE OF THE FUGITVE-On the 9th ultimo
Governor Seymour received from Auburn two
sets of papers-one signed by DIR. Briggs, physi-
clan of the prison, setting forth that young man
named Francis B. Edymoin, convicted of burg
larry in the second degree in Tioga county, in Oc-
tober, 1852, and sentenced to the Auburn State
prison for hive years, was consumptive, and fit
subject for executive clemency; this paper also
stated that his conduct had been of the most ex-
emplary character. The other paper, containing
the same recommendation, was signed by Mr.
Pomeroy, the agent, the warden, the keepers of
the prison, and the chaplain.
The Governor. on reading these papers, forth
with forwarded pardon for the young man to
the agent, and he was suffered to take his depar-
turc almost Immediately. Subsequently the agent,
Mr. Pomeroy, being called to this city on bust
ness, inquired of the Governor the cause for the
pardon of young Edymoin. Tho Governor re-
piled that he had the best of cause-papers con-
tanning the strongest recommendations, duly
signed by the officers of the prison, and, among
them, himself Mr.. Pomeroy expressed his sur
prise ut this statement, and upon looking at the
papers pronounced them forgeries--at least SO far
as he was concerned. On his return to prison he
found the names of the other officers had also
been forged He was arrested and will return to
his old quarters
He is very genteel and bright-looking young
man, aged about twenty-six years. Before his
conviction in Tioga county, he had served a six
months term in the Erie county penitentiary.
While confined in that prison he nearly made his
escape by stealing the keys from the pocket of the
keeper.
The papers which were forwarded to the Gov
ernor are now in Auburn. They consist of let
ters--the first from DR.. Briggs, representing Edy-
moin to be lying in the hospital in the last stages
Of consumption; another from the chaplain, Mr..
Warren, endorsing this statement, and others from
the agent, warden, and other officers about the
prison, recommending his pardon. In addition to
these were letters purportng to be written by
Edymoin's relatives and friends, saying that they
were ready and willing to remove him at their
own expense, and urging his pardon He is an
accomplished penman, and can initiate almost any

Christian PRIESTS whose ntolerant spirit and thirst
for domination brought about the decree Of ex-
pulson OF 1857 are not in the nineteenth what
they were in the sixteenth century; that they are
animated by more enlarged sentiments that they
detest monopoly, were it even profitable to them;
that they avoid with the greatest care all that has
the semblance OF an usurpation of the rights of
the temporal power; finally that they have the
most profound adherence of political intrigues
If, we say, Commodore Perry could on these
points remove the prejudices Of the japanese au-

reduced SO low that it will not yield enough to

NTASON'S PATENT PURIFIED

This oil, for brilliancy, durability, and purity
light and for lubricating purposes, whether applied
to the delicate works Of watch or the most ponde
rous machinery, surpasees any oil now known.
1t is warranted not to gum, being entirely depriveo
of that substance, which seriously impedes the
pid movement Of all kinds Of machinery; and foT
burning it is cheaper and better than any olesgno
substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas campbine,
it Is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter, being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure is this oil that it will not freeze at any de-
gree of cold known within the limits Of the United
States having thereby in this, as in every other par
ticular advantage over the best sperm oil now
used
After devotng many years in experimenting with
the various oils for the purpose of overcoming their
impurities at present fabricated, the undersigned
the public that he has succeeded in producing
the ne plus ultra of oils He offers IL superior
to any known oil in the world for the purposes Of
burning and 1ubricatng, and invokes the scientific
of all countries to test IL and pronounce their opinion
satisfied that all will agree that it h the finest oil

Byron and the Tailor.

In the verdi Of anecdotes, one is told of
Lord Byron, which is ludicrous, if not in
structive. 1t is said that Byron would
never have gone to Greece but for tailor
in Genoa. The noble bard, he went on to
say, was very economical, as was we'll
known, in small matters. He had hired q
villa at Genoa, and furnished it, with the
intention Of making it permanent resi-
dence. Lord and Lady Blessington, and a
large society of English people of good
style, were residing there at the time. In
the fullest enjoyment of his house and his
mode OF life, Byron wanted new coat:
and having some English cloth, he left it.
with his measure, in the hands of Genoese
tailor, with no particular instructions as to
the make. The tailor, overcome with the
honor of making coat for an EcceUenza
Inglese, embroidered it from collar to tail, and
sent it home with bill as thickly embroid-
cred as the coat. Byron kept the coat, for
fear of its being sold, as has, to an actor of
English parts on the stage, but resolutely
refused to pay for more than the making
of plain and plebeian garment. The
tailor threatened an attachment, and Byron
assigned over his furniture to his banker.
and finally quilted Genoa in disgust; ready,
OF course, as he would not otherwise have
been, for new project From indignation
at an embroidered coat tail, the transition
to elderly or deathn' sswoe to the Mos
lem" or any other vent for his accumulated
bile, was easy and natural. He embarked
in the Greek cause soon after, and the en-
broidered coat was not las it should have
been) ''fung to the breeze of Salamis,"-
the banner of inspired heroism.
