Of Salisbury Post Office has been changed
to Middleport We are glad to hear it
In population, wealth, and business impor-
tance, Middlcport is now the second town in
Meigs county, and may yet become the first
And yet, up to this time, she has borne ar
assumed name abroad. The same may be
said Of Albany, which, we believe, is the
second town in Importance in Athens Co..
and yet is known abroad only as Lee P. 0
These double designations not only create
erroneous impressions abroad, in relation t.
the Importance of town, but are frequentl!

ey near Patriot, in this county, succeeded
in making his escape on Friday night last.
he was confined in the cell with Jas. B.
Smith, and it appears the iailor allowed
them an iron poker with which TO stir The
fire. With this poker Walker succeeded in
cutting the cement from around and remov-
ing large stone from The wall Of his cell.
He then with the same instrument re.
moved several brick from the outside wall,
making a hole sufficiently large to admit his
body, when he slipped ou. feet foremost, and
bid farewell TO our efficient jailor, resolving
10 do this STATE no service. He proceeded
up the river and passed q three dollar coun-
lerIei' bill on Mr.. Lowry, a, Campaign, and
crossed the Ohio river al Pomeroy.
He is said to be anoted rascal, for one so
young, having broken several jails before. -.
