yesterday on the lesees Of the Peni-
Tertiary,
Some year Or 80 ago, prisoner made
an attempt to escape, aud wa wounded
in the leg by shot from one of the

planned much Of the wound. and there
fore was kept at easy, snd fatteoi"g
work in one of thu shops. Yesterday
his time was up, and the question was
how should the Prison get lid Of this
incumbance. He thous ht the best
way was to place him on an easy couch
in reclining position, and ride him to
the steamboat landing. where he de.
sired to be shipped to New Orleans
from whence he came. A number OF
persons were on the landing when he
was very carefully brought down !;
and when he got there, wha' was the
surprise ofthe multitude to find him
rise to his feet without assistance---tear
of the bandages frm his leg. and walk
firmly aboard, an upright man, on his
legs again to walk more correctly IN
the path of rectithdc, or rerhap, Ia
bare supposition) TO sin again, and re-
visit again his only sympa'hizing
friends --thc Williams within the prison
walls. The guard we learn. have his
daguerreotypc, and no alias will pre-
vent their recognizing him again.
Should he come back either on short
fashionable visit, or a long one, he
may expect to go at it" like the bal
ance, for he has not yet served his ap.
