ESCAPE OF PRIsoNERs.--The New York Express Of

the 10th says:
who working near the river, took advantage of
the fog and ran out on the ice, which had not yet
broken, and soon disappeared. The guards ran after
them, but two OF them fell through holes in the ice
and were with difficulty taken out alive. Four and
perhaps more are known to have escaped-one Of
them, St. Clair, who ran away last summer, but was
retaken. They are supposed to have reached the
opposite shore. Two men with plank set out tc
track them the river several times and the
traces of their having been drawn out.

three witnesses swearing with much pertinacity and
mnuteness of detail to his guilt. The negro, Wesley
Miss Mary Worden, and the accuseds own brother
all firmly and repeatedly deposed that he wanted
them to murder Mr.. Livingston; that be furnished
them with the means of committing the crime, and
promised them valuable considerations for consumu,a

STUBBORN STRIPLIN.-" Once upon time' a
big, strapping, awkward YOUTH fresh from Vermont,
entered the Dummer Academy at Byfeld Mass, for
little share Of erndton which is doled out at this
temple Of Minerva at economical prices. At that
time-we know not how it is at present-the boys
and girls were kept in one apartment, only the
middle aisle separating them One day this Yer.
mont STRIPPING, who had just been helping one of the
girls through hard sum-he was cuten on CIPHER,
fng-thought it not more than fair that he should
take toll for his valuable services-aecordingly he
threw his stalwart arms around the rosy dansel and
gave her sly but rousing smack which started the
whole school. "Jedediah Tower, come up here ~
roared out the preceptor.
The delinquent appeared, his face glowing with
bushes like red.hot warming pan and looking as
silly as ninny :" Hold out your hand, sir!s said
the pedagogue. I'll teach you not to act thus in
this institution"
The huge paw was extended in horizontal line
towards the instructor, who surveyed its broad sur
face with a mathematical eye, calculating how many
strokes of his small ruler it would take to cover the
large number of square inches it contained.
q Jedediah at length he said, Z" this is the first
time that you have been called up for any delin
quency now sir, if You say that you are sorry foi
what you have done, will let you off this time with
out punishment
"Sorry,s exclaimed the youngster, striking an att

The lady who sends us this little incident has the
best means Of knowing it to be true, She says:
certain mother who shall be nameless, told her
little girls they must not be hanging around and ks-
sing the young gentlemen who visited the house it
was not becoming in them, and they might be trouble
some; few days afterward an old gentleman, a
TREND OF the family, called, and while noticing the
children drew one OF them to him, and offered to kiss
the little thing But no, she would have nothing of
the sort, and when the gentleman was gone, the
mother said:
My dear, when nice old gentleman like that
offers to kiss little girl like you, you shouldn't put
on snch airs and refuse him. was quite ashamed Of
your conduct
But. mother, you told US we mustn't kiss the gen
tlemen," said Maggie.
Maggie, there is a great difference between let
ting young men kiss you, and such old people as Mir
Venable who just went out When such persons ole,
to kiss you, it is to show their kind feelings and you
should take it as as compliment and not act fool
ishly,i'
Maggie put on very serious face, and after think
ing on it awhile, replied, swell, mother if hav
to kiss the gentlemen, l would great deal rattle
kiss the young ones"
Children and fools speak the truth.

How TO JUMP OFF THE CARs.-Unless you intend
suicide, don't jump from the cars when in motion
but you think you must, and won't be persuaded to
behave like a sensible man. this is probably the way
to do it jump sdewise as high as you can, and when
in the air screw your legs up and bend the head for
the body that is should be cushioned by nature for
the purpose, and you will roll away from the train in
the manner of Wheel Hands, to avoid the scratches,
had better be in the trousers pocket. If you survive
the operation, you will feel better, it is quite likely,
than if you had Numbered off without regard to the
rules of science and broken your neck or cracked the
dome Of thought One experiment will probably sa-
tsfy you as to the convenience and comfort of this
method of getting off the cars.
