Breaking Into a State Prison.

Jane Wade, girl about 20 years old was
imprisoned in the Connecticut State Prison,
by the Court in New London county, for
stealing horse. Her time of prisonment
expired last October, when she was employ
ed by family in Wethersfeld to do house
work. In March last the family finding that
she was accustomed 10 stealing turned her
away. Frequently since they missed articles
about the house, and found evidences that
some person had been about the premises.
They finally discovered that she had been
there frequently and slept in the ash hole at
night. But her strangest adventure was in
the State Prison One night last week she
scaled the stonewall that closes the prison
by climbing tree. The wall was about
twenty feet high. From the yard she craw.
led into the kitchen, which is separated from
the male prisoners and is not guarded at
night, throughan outlet for the ashes, which
connects with the yard She slept in the ash
hole six nights, and when found had six
empty mush or pudding pans by her side,
which she had taken from the kitchen when
full. On Sunday night last, she snored SO
loud in her ash hole bed as to attract the at.
tention of the matron, and after a search she
wac foaed and dragged gut. Tho opinion
of an eminent lawyer was given that Miss
Wade may be indicted and convicted for
burglary-she having broken into the Stale
Prison in the night season, and stolen six
pans full of meal pudding. There is not a
parallel case on record. d.-Haryord Times.

BuReLARIEs.-On Fridaynisht Of last week
several burglaries Of daring character,
we're committed inSunbury. The Wa'ch
and Jewelry establishment Of Joseph Kess.
Ier, on Market street, was broken into, and
watches and jewelry TO the value of 5000
were stolen. The entrance was effected by
forcing the door on the street. The drug
store of Geo. Bright was also entered, by
forcing the back door open by means Of
wedges. The haul in this establishment
was very light, some three or four dollars
only being obtained. A valuable gold
watch which Mr. Bright had in one oil the
drawers was carried from the drawer TO a
desk, bnt not taken. A roll of quarter dol
lars, don,, up IN paper, belonging to the
Lutheru Church, was overlooked, or at least
not carried off. A quantity of cancelled
notes and pri vate papers which Mr. Bright
had in his desk were overhauled, but none
were taken or injured. An unsuccessful
attempt was made upon the front door of
Enge's store. The wedges were found
driven into the crevice of the door SO tightly
that they had TO be extracted, with consid.
cradle difficulty, in the morning, before the
door could be unlocked. Sunb,uy Gazeite.

w 1t is said by The friends of Douglas
that he will go 10 Washington, buckle on
the Democratic armor, and fight Black Re.
publlcanism to the bitter end--that he will
convince those who thought he had gone
over 10 the enemy, that he had done no such
thing that he is as good and true Democrat
as he ever was, and that he is as much of
an Administration Democrat as any man of
the party, He is determined, they say, to
show that Anli.Lecomptonism, SO far as he
and his followers are concerned, does not
mean Black Repnbtcanism in any shape We
hope his friends will not be disappointed.
The breach now existing in the Democratic
party must be healed, or we will have dan.
serous times in The campaign of 1860. The
South works shoulder 10 shoulder with the
QemaGrstic PGiy of lhe IIaioa, aud we see
no reason why the North cannot do the
same.

prietor OF the champagne vineyards, in
France, whose daughter was married short
time since, has just met with her death in
most extraordinary manner. She was
gathering flowers in her garded, when she
felt herself bitten by a fly. She thought
nothing of the slight puncture, but, in the
evening, her face. began TO swell, and in a
few days afterwards, she died, in intense
agony. It is supposed that the fly must
have fed upon putrid flosh.

FoR FEMALEs--lt is lamentable fact that
SO large number of Females are afflicted
with Irregularities, proiuse orsuppress-
