ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF SLAyEs.-The Staun-
ton Spectator of Wednesday says, on the
morning of Sunday, Dec. 80, two very bright
mulatto girls, one belonging to Mr.. John
Churchman, and the other to the estate of
Col. Crawford deceased, took the cars at STAN
ton aud made their way successfully to Bali
more, en- route for a free State At Baltimore
they were detected just as they were about to
take the train for Philadelphia, and informa-
ton OF their arrest was Immediately forwarded
to D. Churchman of this place. On Friday
evening the young ladies arrived at Staunton,
having enjoyed, we presume, very pleasant
holiday trip. They were so nearly white that
their success in imposing upon the conduc.
tors of the cars Is not astonishing, and the on
ly wonder is that they were detected at all.
Some are disposed to think that their plan
of escape was concoctod by some abolition
emissary i'll our midst, but we do not think
this probable. Ladies of their complexion,
and reputed intelligence, might well make
such venture-"on their own hook" without
resorting to underground railroads, and with
out the assistance ofanybody. Their attempt
was bold one, but "the best laid schemes of
mice and men" as well as colored ladies',
''gang alta gley."
Since their return, the negro girls have been
sold-Mr. Churchman'S for $1,000, and the
other for $3.50. I

FATE OF THE MURDERBRs OF LovRJoY-A
correspondent of the Ravena Democrat, writ
ing from Alton, Illinois, saws:
Gan old and Intelligent citizen, formerly
of the East, who was present at the death of
Lovejoy, stated to me as he was acquainted
with the two men who shot him, he resolved
to mark their after history. The first, DIR.
Beall, went to Texas, was taken by the In
dians, and chopped to pieces and divided
among the tribes. The pther man, by the
name Of Jennings, went to New Orleans, and
in an afiray in gambling house, was cut to
pieces with a bowie-knife. Thus persisted the
miserable murderers Of Lovejoy.
The fall of Lovejoy was the death blow to
the growth and prosperity of, Alton. Many
business men became disguised, and abandon
ed the place, snd others who were seeking
homes and business places in. the West passed
it. Thus, for more than twelve years, Alton
was hiss and by-word, and it is only very
recently that 1t has exhibited signs Of life and
growth. 1t is a fixed fact in the minds OF the
people OF Alton, that no such occurrence
would be permitted to transpire in their midst
again."

EXTRAORDINARY YIELD OF Conn FRoH
BROADCAST SOWING Major w. .. Mellinger,
near Monongahela City, Washington county,
informs us that about the first Of May, he SOW
ed "a bushels of corn broadcast on one acre
OF ground, intending to cut it up for fodder.
Finding during the summer that twas grow
ing about as rapidly as his corn planted and
worked in the usual manner, he concluded to
1 leave II to mature. When the time arrived
for harvesting, he found it to yield 100 BUSH
els OF ears of good corn, and five tons Of fod-
den He says that he had, besides, about 80
bushels Of nubbins, not counted in the above.
lffuch results could always be anticipated
from sowing broadcast, we see no reason why
corn intended for feeding purposes should not
be planted in this way or in drills, (Which
would be seientife.) 1t would not do, how.
ever, to rely upon this kind of planting for
seed, as we think there is no doubt but it
would degenerate to its originality We sup
pose, however, that no reliance could be plac-
cd upon this, except when a wet season like
last summer would prevail, or when the land
could be properly irrigated. - Wcstoyh 1gri.
