CohMIrTBp TO JAIL.-1he two y oun
Edds. OF whose arrest We spoke las
week, had their trial before Jus,ic
Besrdsley last Thursday. After q hear
ing. they were required TO give bonds
in the som Of Que hundred dollsrs esch h
for their appearance at Court, and il
default OF which were committed TO Jail

BRoKE JAL.-The two Individual
calling themselves Edds. to which allu

jsil on Wednesday afternoon last, b,
digging out under the jail yard fence
The isilot had permitted them the
"freedom Of the yard, to recruit,

sad having managed to &c, . msttock
which. strange to say. somehow found
in way into the yard, they dug hole
under the fence sufficiently large to
crawl out, in the absence OF the jailor
They we're discovered. about the time
they were getting out, by some Of ,he
neighbors, who gave the alarm but
they bad reached the woods before pur.
suit was commenced, and up to the time
of writing. have managed to keep out
Of the reach OF their pursuers. Blu,
Dt the evening previous, our Sheriff
,sd received dispatch stating that the
houes these fellows Lad in possession
were stolen in Mercer county. Penn.
syivania. The fact that such info:ma
ton hid been received here so very
recently will suggest the query -
Why was not the matter seen to tha,
these fellows were confined still more
closely, and guarded with redoubled
care? Why were they turned out into
the yard, with all the conveniencss
q, hand for making good their escape,
At the very time when officers from
q distance we're expected to take them
in charge for horse stealing We
do not believe the jailor kr ew any thing
OF these facts, or had any intention OF
letting them out; but being OF an easy
unsu'pec'i9g turn Of mind, he was the
one to be imposed upon By those per,
sons about Findlsy who are ever ready
to help rsscsls ont OF their difficulties,
and was not, therefore. a suitable per.
son for that place. The reception OF
the dispatch one day and the escape Of
the prisoners the next. are coincidenis
certainly significant enough. Why is
!, that within little over q year, six
Persons. charged with criminal ofenses,
have managed to make their escape,
three OF whom were 10 for horse ste al
ing. one for burning a barn, and TWO
others for minor offenses? Five Of the 50
SIX. broke jail. and one was permitted to
give "leg bail" by having his bonds
reduc ell TO mere nominal amount. OF
what account is it that our county has
been at the expense Of building q good
substantial Jail. End that the people arc
taxed for the supper, Of ou.t. Of justice
II such rascals are permitted to 90 un'
whipt Of justice and the property Of the
community is left without any pro,ec.
ton? Ws have been pretty severely
denounced by certain OF our officials for
exposing the reprehensible conduct ol
those who have been chargssble with
deTsliction Of duty in these mattsrs.-
Tho public will judge how Justly.
