Attempt to BredI JaiL-rhe night before
in i. about nine o'clock, Tailor Smith attract
ell by an unusual noise, to a cell in the prison
occupied by John Bugher and a man named
Jordan. Upon going 10 the door and looking
in, the jailor ancied the prisoners looked rather
Hurried Tor sleeping men and their actions con
vinced him that something was up. As he ex5
amined closely he discovered that the occupants
of the cell had cut the bars in the window by
means of a common case knife, fashioned into
saw, and succeeded in removing all obstacles
to their departure from the premises. The bed
clothes were torn and attached SO as 10 enable
them to descend from the window to the ground
outside, without any risk of personal INJURY.
But there's many slip twixs the cup and the
lip. They were surprised in the very act of
bidding good by to their old quarters. They
had written note TO the Jailor, bidding him
good by, stating they were confined upon false
evidence, and that they would return as soon as
caught, &c. Jordon is confined upon the charge
of picking mans pocket on board tue steamer
Fortune, some time suce, and Bugher, alias
Shanghai, was convicted at present term of the
circuit court, of passing counterfeit money and
sentenced to the pcnitentiary.

IT Is NOT OFTEN THAT WE NorIcE EDrroRtALLY
patent medicine; yet we feelit duty whenwe
are convinced an article is very merrito,ions to
inform the public, that they, too, may be bene'
flied by its.use, and to prevent them from using
other articles that have no merit in them.
Now We wish particularly to recommend TO
our readers, DR.. Sa1fords Lirer iRDjgOrator, as
an article that has given benefit and performed
cures, in our circle of acquaintance, that were
little less than astonishing. It is particularly
recommended for all Diseases of the Liver, as it
is a Liter larigorator. Especially among our
own children have we notedits beneficial effects,
where the little sufferers, from bowel complaint,
worms and other diseases, incident to children,
have been made quiet and perfectly cured by
the use of the article. 1t has testimonials that
none can doubt, for the cure of Jaundice, Dys-
pepSia and such troubles as always follow a de-
ranged Liver. a few such cases have come I'M
derOu observation where it seemed almost 10
work miracles.
Our advice to families is rot TO be without it,
as it will save many hours Of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makesits attack.,-AtGtoo-

Ruimous Rate Of LroItd,iye. An unsopistica-
ted "Reuben' from Marshall county was swim
died out of $50, yesterday afternoon on the Ian
ding. Reuben was going to Cincinnati on the
Courier, and learning that Wheeling money (of.
which he had twenty dOllars) was not quite as
acceptable there as at home, expressed wish
to have it exchanged for other bills. An ac-
conInodating young man present offered to
make the desired exchange, and produced the
sum Of twenty dollars in ones, two's and threes
which were handed over for two NJ. d NJ. los.
Reuben was full of thanks, at the time, but
upon making a trifing purchase shortly after
wards, one OF his bills was refused, which led
him to examine the rest. Not ono of them was
current, some on broken banks, some counter
ieit, and some were not known in the history OF
banks, at all. OF course the sharper was not
TO be found.

The troubles of High Station.

From all accounts Mr.. Buchanan is complete
" in the hands of the Philistines. Ofice-seekers
dog his footsteps, besiege him in his chamber,
and fill his house like the frogs of Egypt On
late occasion the members of the Washington
City Councils called upon him to pay their re-
spects, and after q brief interview he excused
himself and went off to receive his pressing
friends upstairs" He is still suffering from the
effects of recent sickness, but rest is allowed
him day or night, and he is hardly permitted to
eat his meals in peace Under these circum-
stances it will not be strange if he share the fate
of Harrison and Taylor, and fall a victim to the
demands of office seekers. 1t is, however, a
matter of establishment that the President sub
mits to the annoyance. He has the means OF
prevention in his own hands. Let him drive off
the clamorous horde, make appointments to Of
fee only when vacancies occur, and remove no
body except for good reason, and both his own
comfort and the public interest will be promoted.
