ATrEMpT TO BREAK JAIL.-On Thursday
hi Iht last, about Ct o'clock, the prisoners
confined in The County Ill were seized with
an intense desire to possess themse Ives Of
those three inalienable rights-"life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness"-with which
all men ore said to be endowed To crafty
this desire they had recourse to an old stove
door, poker and razor hone, with which
they eucceeded in removing one of the
stones in the south end Of the building,
which was at height of about three feet

chuse, while Mr.. Horton valiantly defended

ting Attorney, Gin his own happy style. =
The officers of the Jail, hearing the alarm,
immediately locked the prisoners, eight in
number, in their cells and order once more
