AN ACCOMPLISHED RoBBER.-A burglar,
named Benjamin Harris, who was in PRISON
at Woodstock, Canda West, awaiting his
trial for burglary, has just made his escape.
The Woodstock Sentinel says that since the
days of Dick Turpiu, Harris has not had his
equal. 1t appears that he manufactured an
ingenious lock pick, so small that he could
conceal it in his mouth, with which, by put
ting his arm through the diamond in the door
of the cell, he picked the lock and then pro.
ceeded to the cells of two other prisoners,
and liberated them in the same manner;
thence to the outside door, and he picked
that lock also where they left the lock pick.
They took the sheets from their cells ana
tore them into strips, tying the strips togeth-
or. and throwing the double of this band over
the pillar on the corner Of the Jail wall, by
means of which they pulled themselves to
the top of the Jail wall, and thus made their
escape.

ISTEREsr.-A graphic newspaper, in con.
graduating friend upon the acquisition of a
farm, says, II hope the deeds are recorded
without mortgage or line of any kind.
hope no notes are drawing interest. No
blister draws sharper than interest does. Of
all industries none is comparable TO that OF
Interest. 1t works day and night, in fair
weather and in foul. II has no sound in its
footsteps, but travels fast. 1t gnaws at a
mans substance with Invisible teeth. II
binds industry with its film, as a fly is bound
upon a spiders web Debt rolls man over,
binding him hand and foot, and letting him
hang upon the fatal mesh until the long-leg-
ged interest devours him. There is no crop
than can olford to pay interest money on a
farm.

The DEMOCRATIC REVIEW ON Mr.. FILL.
MoRE.-The Democratic Review for Decem-
Der, 1855, having the Compromise measures
Of 1850, and cotemporaneous events under

"Momentous events were transpiring-

The safety and perpetuity of the Union were
threatened. Already had fanaticism raised
its hydra-head. Schemes and "isms" leaped
from thousand ambuscades. The enemies
of the Union started forth on every side
AboitiOnism here secessionism there; acqui-
sition and fllibusterism elsewhere. These
we're the formidable elements ofmsrule with

met, and how entirely he, for the time, over
came these enemies of the peace the repub-
lie, we leave the historian to relate; but our
retrospect would be incomplete and disn-
genuous, did we not accord the need of praise
Justly due to high moral excellence and IN

ent, as developed in the administration Of Mr..

LIQUOR LAW IN PENSsYLvASIA.--The
Legislature of Pennsylvania has just passed
liquor law founded on the old license sys-
TEN. 1t limits the number of places where
liquor is TO be sold and establishes the
amount of license. 1t fixes $25 for hotel
licenses in the country; $50 in country towns
and other boroughs with over 200 taxables;
1915 in Philadelphia or Pittsburg, one hotel
to be licensed in the cities for every 100 tax
ables, and one for every ITO taxables else
where; and allows one restaurant or eating
house to be licensed for every four hotels
every where, the license not to be less than
$50, aud to be granted by board of apprais-
ers appointed by the judges of the courts
Il limits the restaurants to the sale Of do
mestics wines and malt liquors. Storekeep-
ers are not permitted to sell less than one
gallon.

THE MEDICAL FEE OF EuGrNrk's Accou-

THE MEDICAL FEE OF EuGENIE's AccoU-
cHEUR.-A Paris correspondent says:
"If am we'll informed the Empress's state
of health is, upon the whole, as favorable as
the case admits Of. She remains exceedingly
weak, but is gradually recovering from the
sufferings Of her confinement. ltis rumored
that Nj. Dubois is to receive 100000 francs,
not only for his services, but to compensate
him for the fearful anxiety of mind he under
went when il became inevitable that violent
means must be resorted to bring about the
birth. The poor Empress for hours believed
every moment would be her last, and never
ceased recommending her soul to the inter
cession of the saints; and this conviction upon
his imperial patients part, of course, doubled
the responsibilities ard the nervousness of
NJ. Du6ois-consequently it is held that
f2O,OOO 1.-THE relative dearness of the two
epochs well considered too) is no more than
the equivalent, in 1856, for the E10,ooO,
awarded in 1911 to his father, for his a;ten-
dance upon the Empress Maria Louise, at the
birth of the King.of Rome"

DoS'T ISLANDER Your NEIGHBoRs.-No

misery upon one, whom it would have been

The Paris correspondence of the Indepen-
dance Beige pretcnds that the following are
exact terms in which the Russian plenipo-
tentiary, Count Orloff, lately expressed his
opinion of the character of the Emperor Ma
poleon:
"The greatest grief (cagrin) of my life,"
said the Count, snow that know the Empe-
ror Napoleon, is that my late master, the EN-.
peror Nicholas, did not know him too. II
he could have seen him for but half an hour,
not only would there have been no war, but
the best relations would have been established
between the two sovereigns and the two
countries. The Emperor Napoleon has pre-,
cisely those traits Of character that would
have exercised great influence over the
Emperor Nicholas"

FATAL AFFRAY AT CAMDEN, (Ark.)-We
learn from the Ouachita "Register" that Mr..
+. D. Darlington, editor of the "El Dorado
Union," was shot and instantly killed in
Camden (Ark.) on Monday, the 18th ultimo.
The "Register" thus states the case:
at. B. Darlington, Esq, editor of the 'El
Dorado Union,' called on Mr.. Jones, editor OF
tine Ouacfita Herald and demanded of him
satisfaction for alleged calumnies rejecting
upon his character through the medium of the
Iatter's paper. Jones refused to listen 10
Carrington, whereupon the latter left him,
uttering some abusive words as he retired to
the street. A friend of Mr.. Jones overheard
the language of Darlington, and replied that
he would fight since Jones had refused to do
so. Darlington Immediately drew revolver
and fired three consecutive shots at the indi-
vidual, without effect. The fire was returned
by his antagonist, killing him instantly. The
excitement occasioned by this sad renconter
was intense. Both parties were very popular
with the people. of Camden. Mr.. Darlington
was brother-in.law of Hon. Albert Rust,
member of Congress from Arkansas, and
leaves, we understand, an amable and inter-
es,ing young wife to mourn his sudden death,
besides large circle of warm friends and
relatives"

CHIYcu BUG.-Accounts from various parts
of the State represent this pest TO be very
abundant. The intensity Of the winter has
had no effect upon the wretches; they nre
proof against cold. Long continued wet
weather has alone been found equal to their
destruction. This fact renders the growing
crop exceedingly precarious. Enough rain
to destroy the chinch bugs, will prove fatal
to the wheat. But if the rain withheld, the
bugs will devour the wheat. So we are in
danger of being sped in either rcondition.
