ALMOST AN EscAPE.-The prisoners in the
county Jail were prevented from escaping
yesterday. by very narrow chance. 1t
seems that everything was arranged for them
to break out last night A prisoner named
Jas. Archie, who is one of the robbers arres-
ter for robbery near Forest City, few
weeks ago, succeeded, by means of file
made out of knife.blade, in saving through
and taking out one of the bars of his cell
which he had replaced in such manner that
he could take it out without any difficulty at
any time, and thereby leave a space large
enough for any ordinary sized man to pass
through. 1t so happened that man named
Mosier, who had been sent to the county
Jail from the Recorders Court, had Just served
his time out and was discharged, yesterday
morning Knowing that the bar had been
sawed out and that the prisoners were only
waiting for the shadow of night to burst
forth and escape, he volunteered the infor.
nation that such was the fact, and the scheme
was of course frustrated at once.
The knife, out of which Archie made his
saw was slipped inby his sister to a Mexican
prisoner named Romam-confned for cattle
ssealng-who passed it through his cell into
the hands of Archie
Archie could easily have escaped, himself
after saving through, provided he could have
got through the guards, but the balance Of
the prisoners told him that he must wait nm.
til all could go, or they would "peach on
him.

We find the following in the Hydraulic
Press, of Saturday.
SAN JUAN HILL-The last run OF the
Bloomer Company yielded Sl,927. These
claims are filled with very large boulders,
which have to be blasted and the fragments
hoisted out by derrick The Ohio Compa-
ny cleaned up this week $1,000; and the
Knickerbocker Company, from dirt nifty or
sixty feet above the bed rock, realized $500;
Lowe d Co. raised a shaft from their tunnel
and found dirt which prospects over an ounce
to the pan Such a prospect is unprecedent-
ed in these diggings, and goes far to confirm
the opinion that there is II lead of great rich
ness running through the hill.
! A very large amount of water Is now used
ON this hll. When the hydraulic process was
| first introduced there was seldom a larger
head than from twelve to twenty inches uset
in any claim. Now a single Company, The
Sailor Boys, employ two hundred inches
and several others from one hundred anC
! twenty or thirty to one hundred and hitI
| inches. Such streams as these divided be-
tween two pipes and having a pressure o
| from one hundred to one hundred fifty feet
dash with TREMENDOUS force against the bank
of earth, the hardest of which must yield Il
their influence.
JUNCTION BLUFF.-The Palmer claims late
ly yielded $780, from a run made on frs
opening. The McKeeby ground is still "giv
ing out" The proprietors this week go
prospects of SO to the pan.
SwEErLAND.-A single item from this place
The Kentucky Company have cleaned VI

two years, till death relieved him of tn,
wretchedness of existence He inherited

Amiable and patient disposition, and looked

resignation but with hope and joyousness.-
This bereavement leaves Mr.. Delano will
only one child, but she is indeed treasure
and long may she live to comfort the heart o

PHoToGRAPH OF UIsToRIAN.-The Century
closes a critique on Fanny Kemble Butler by
saying:
We must acquaint our readers with an
amusing incident of the evening. After the
hall was well crowded, and it was difficult
to find a vacant seat, an elderly gentleman of
very lively and knowing aspect, entered and
walked with noticeable selfpossession to-
ward the platform. He was not a man to go
unobserved. His angular-shaped head was
streaked with iron-grey, and pair of light
gold spectacles bestrid his nose. lie delibe-
rately unfolded bunch of sticks which he
carried in his right hand spread out a set of
wooded legs, planted them firmly on the
floor, and rejoiced in the Independent possess
sion of a chair, directly in front and within
twelve feet of Mrs. Kembles desk. There
was not more attentive auditor in the hall
than this chars owner-Mr. Bancroft the
historian

RAILROAD REsPoNsIBILITY.-At Cincinnati
a judgment has just been affirmed in the Gen,
eral Term of the Superior Court, which is oil
interest to travellers and railroad companies.
A gentleman purchased II ticket in Washing
ton, from general agent of all the lines,
through to Cincinnati. When he arrived
there his baggage was missing, and he sub:
sequently sued the Little Miami Railroad
Company for its value, and judgment was
recovered in the Court below. This was
affirmed upon the ground that the ticket was
recognized by the defendants, which was sut-
ficient evidence of the authority of the agent
at Washington. There were no circumstan-
ces to show that there was division or
separation Of contracts as to the various lines
in regard to the transportation of the passen-
ger and his baggage.

DoN'r TAKE-A wag of a correspondent
sent us the other day short communication
which took the Marshal of this city to task,
with much mock gravity, for allowing the
chain gang to sit in the orchestra of the thea
ter. We thought everybody would see the
pint, but we understand that there are per-
sons in the community who are very indig-
nant about it and are disposed very severely
to censure the Marshal for the outrage. Well
this is the elimination of the joke and make,

Christian Advocate relates of a New York
minister, who desired to make sensation in
preaching on the crucifxion. He instructed
the sexton, when he got to that part of the
discourse where he describes the darkness

the gas, giving light only enough to make
the darkness visible. The sexton, however
awkwardly put the gas out altogether
which so confounded the preacher that he
was unable to proceed, Some of the trustees
of the church hurried to the sexton in the

SroP THAr-We noticed a gentleman lead
ing horse over the Eighth street foot bridge
yesterday morning. If such acts are not in
violation of law they should be made so by
the Common Council for there is no necessi-
