extraordinary Affair at a Lunatic A.v,pu
In Ohio.

ENHasrdlnary Affair at a Lunatic Asvluu
In Ohio.
a LUNATIc CUTS HOLE IN THE FLOOR WITH
ALsE TEETH, PICKS LOCK WITH PIN,
CUTS OUT A WINDOW SASH AND sBUrrER
WITH RING, AND ESCAPES
From the Cleveland Herald. Marcb5l
Among the inmates of the Northern Ohio
Lunatic Asylum is person named Wheedon.
once mighty respectable citizen in good cir
cumstances, and said to have been a member
OF the former coal firm of l. c. Pendleton &
GO: lie has been in the Asylum for some time.
For some time past he has manifested strong
disposition to escape, and the utmost care and
vigilance has been exercised to frustrate his
designs, but not always with success. Before
oelng placed In his sleeping room at night he
mas been always stripped and carefully exam
med ined TO preYept the secreting of any iastru-
ment, and all his clothes but his shirt, panta-
looms, and stockings taken away In spite of
these precautions, he has succeeded three times
within few days in escaping from his room.
About two weeks since he took set of false
teeth out OF his mouth, and by constant work
eontrived with them to saw a hole through the
floor of his chamber, making a hole sufficient
to admit of his dropping through into another
part of the house, and then escaping He was
traced and caught at the house of Mr.. Pendle
ton, on Euclid street.
A few days since he secreted a pin. and with
that exoeedingl y unlikely instrument managed
to pick the lock Of his door and escaped into
the hail. where he was fortunately arrested
He then stated that pin was of more value
then ten thousand dollars when he wished TO
escape from a room
Last Saturday night he was carefully exam
ined, as usual, before being placed in his room,
but succeeded in secreting a small brass ring
split at one part, in his hair On being lock ed
up for the night, he set to work, and with the
ring he cut through the window sash and shut
ter, so as to enable him to remove them from
the window. He then took the coverlid of the
bed, and tore it into strips, with which he
made rope reaching nearly to the ground. a
distance of some twenty FIVE or thirty feet.
Some of the cotton batting with which the COW
erlid was wadded, he placed in his stockings to
protect his feet, as he had no shoes. Then
dressing himself in shirt trowsers, and stock
ings, he slid down the rope and escaped.
Striking across the country to Eight Mile Lock,
he then took the towpath of the canal and
walked down to University Heights, where he
arrived yesterday afternoon. The officers of
the asylum on his track, came on him yester
day Sunday afternoon. He was yery quiet
when arrested, and spoke freely of his escape,
and made no resistance to being taken back to
the asylum. We question whether this series
of extraordinary escapes can be we'll matched.

In society, the dress of civilians is divided
into full dress, dsmt -t0iIStfe and upolipe In
the army, it is divided into full dress. undress
and fatigue dress; and as we'll might general
appear at review in undress, as for a gentle
man to appear in a drawing room at a select
invitation party, without wearing dress coat
AT mixed assemblies it is otherwise; for gen
tIeman habits himself in full dress to the honor
of his friends; but in mixed assemblages. and

alone to be consulted, keeping within the GEN

are longer and more graceful than they were
last year.
Hats seem to be in transition state Eyery
design, from the Grecian felt to the modern
silk plush, is in vogue; so that the following

pR. CUNNING ON THE SIGNS OF THE Tines
Dr- Cumming has been stating his opinion at
Leeds respecting the great events which, ac-
cordlng to his Interpretation of the Book of
Daniel and the Apocalypse, are looming in the
future. He said the year 1857 seemed to end
o,UUU years Of tie Id 3 history, and from the
earliest periods onward it had been the almost
universal belief that the six days of the crea-
ton were typical Of those 6 900 years, and that
the 7th day OF creation, or the Sabbath. was
typical ot the millennial rest 900 wears. Rut
they would say that, supposing this were So. they
were at this moment over 40 years short of the
0,0OO years. twas a remarka able fact however
that the ablest chrOnologists irrespective of all
prophetic theories, had shown that mistak o
OF upwards of 100 years had been made in cal
cuiatlng the chronology of the world. and that
the year 1860 of the Christian era began not
from the year 1904 of the worlds history but
IN the year 4l3S, and that the year of Christ 8
birth was i've years before that, or in 1922 IF
his promises were just, then they were at that
moment within seven years Of the exhaustion
OF the 5000 years; so that if 1866 was TO be the
termination of this economy. they had arrived
at the Saturday evening of the world ; long
AMI dreary week. If this were so. it was q
magnificent thought that there were some in
that assembly who would never die. Thew were

before seen; an European war was looming.
more dreadful than that through which thew

happened it would be seen that the sentiments
he had uttered were not the dreams of fanati-
cism, but the words Of soberness and truth
