Heroic Conduct ola saiIor,s WIFE.

The correspondent of the New York Times
relates the following as occurring at Water
town. n. Y. He says:
Early on Sunday morning, three prisoners,
named Wilson, Eddy, Missile and Ward. by
feigning the sickness of one of their number,
got the jailer at this place, Mr. Baker, in their
power, gagged and bound him. and locked
him in cell. This done, they robbed him of
his money and the keys of the prison, and
were calmy taking their leave when they
were" brought all up standing" by beholding
the jailor's little wife pointing at them through
4 railing, a load d revolver, and calmly in
forming them that she would put bullet
through the first man who attempted to come
forward. A conversation something like this
followtd d:
PRTsoNER-The devil you will! You don't
know how to shoot it.
Mrs. BAKER--Try it and see, if You like.

past few days. and l promise you l will kill
the first man who com forward.
PRTsoNER-Wtll, if that's your game we'll
be quits with you. Now, take your choice.

peace, or submit to have your husbands
brains knocked out against the walls of the

The Mfssf ssfDpi.

The Coahoma (Miss) Citizen gives an ac-
count of several breaks in the levees in that
region. The one at Lewis Swamp, so miles
below Friar's Point, it is said will prove very
disastrous to the planters in that neighborhood.
The raftsmen in that nsighborhood are sus-
pected of having cut the levee Another
break near the plantation of Col. Trotter. in
Tanica county, is thus described by the Git
sn:
We learn that the levee near the plantation
OF Col. TrOtter, in Tunica county, has wash
ed away, and that the river is sweeping
through the country. passing through Phillips
Bayou Into Moon Lake, and from Moon Lake
into the Yazoo Pass. The water from this
op-ning in the levee will inundate great ex-
tent of country, and cause the destruction of
great amount of property. The damage to
Leyees alone will be very heavy
The acco ITS from b low represent a
very large portion of the country as over
flowed, and immense damage done TO planta-
tons, stock, &c. The river below the mouth
OF White is said to be higher than il has been
since 1928. AT this place il wanted about
three feet of being up to the high water of
1850. The river here has fallen about four
feet, and Is still rect ding slowly.
The report that has been circulated abroad
that Helena is or has been ovrrtiowed this
spng, is acittOm the slightest foundation in truth.
