EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT A LUNATIC
AsYLUM.-Among the inmates of the North
ern ONO Lunatic Asylum S person named
Wheedon, once highly respectable citizen in
good circumstances, and said to have been
member of the former coal firm of l. c. PEN
dleton & Co. He has been in the asylum for
some time. For some time past he has mani
tested strong disposition to escape, and the
utmost care and vigilance has been exercised
to Illustrate his designs, but not always with
success. Before being placed in his sleeping
room at night he has been always stripped and
carefully examined to prevent the secreting of
any instrument, and all his clothes but his
shirt, pantaloons, 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 a set of
false teeth out of his mouth, and by constant
work contrived 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 es.
Gaping. He was traced and caught at the
house of Mr. Pendleton, on Euclid street. A
few days since, he secreted a pin, and with
that exceedingly unlikely instrument, manag-
ed to pick the lock of his door and escaped
into the hall, where he was fortunately arrest
ed. He then said a pin was of more value
than ten thousand dollars when he wished to
escape from a room.
Last Saturday night he was carefully ex-
amined as usual, before being placed in his
room, but succeeded in secreting small brass
ring, split at one part, in his hair. On being
locked up for the night, he set TO work, and
with the ring he cut through the window sash
and shutter, 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 a rope reaching nearly to the
ground, distance of some twenty five or thir-
ty feet. Some of the cotton batting with
which the convict was wadded he placed in his
stockings to protect his feet as he had no
shoes. Then dressing himself in shirt trow-
sers, and stockings, 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 yesterday Sunday afternoon. He was
very 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 well Matched Cleveland (Ohio) Her

CITY AND COUNTY.

MEMORY OF Col. TIMOTHY BIGELow.-1t
is well known in this community that some of
the descendants of Col. Bigelow are about to
erect monument to his memory within the
enclosure of our old common. Col. Timothy
Bigelow Lawrence of Boston, great grandson
of the subject of this notice, received permls-
sion from the city government, last year, to
enclose lot of sufficient size, and to erect such
a monument as might be deemed suitable and
proper 1t is understood that Col. Lawrence
and his family friends will commence this be-
nevolent and patriotic work in the spring or
early summer. Let me suggest to Col. Law
renee, and to all whom it may concern, to the
mayor and council and to the descendants of
our townsman, the propriety OF laying the
foundation stone of this monument on the 10Th
day of April, which will be the eighty. fifth an
niversary of the marching of the minute
men" from Worcester, under the command of
Capt. Bigelow. 1t seems to me that Worces-
ter cannot "afford" to let this opportunity pass
without making some signal recognition of the
event. Cannot the citizens of Worcester, for
the first time in eighty-fve years, gather with
their families round the grave containing the
last remains of her noble son

The SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, in an
account of the state convention. makes this
statement 1.-THE gratuitous attempt to insult
Gov. Banks, was defeated at all points, This
is very remarkable statement Nobody else

to insult Gov. Banks" The Republican would
do well to consider carefully, whether, itself in
making such a statement, it does not Fin.

o. B. Matteson, the corrupt member of the
94th Congress, has been detected in the i'm
proper use, for his own benefit, OF S65OO OF
the funds OF the Central bank, Utica, N l.,
of which he was the president, and at the re-
quest of the directors he has resigned and re-
tired from the institution.
Hon. Abraham Lincoln spoke in Woonsock-
ct, Thursday evening, to one of the most en-.
thusiastic republican assemblages ever gath
cred in that section of the state. Some four
or five hundred visitors went up from Provi.
dence in a special train.
On the morning train TO the convention,
Wednesday, between Groton junction and
Worcester, a presidential vote was taken
among the delegates, with the following re-
suit Seward %; Bates 8 Banks 2; Chase
/; Fessenden l /; Fremont l..
Since the announcement that the republican
state convention in Pennsylvania had instruct

The st. Louis "Westliche Post" a German
republican paper, copies the New York Tri-

tionists are unanimously urging Mr.. Bates for
president, and very strongly denies it. The
Post quotes it as an evidence that the Tribune
aims to mislead public sentiment on this point.
1t declares that "ninetenths" of the Missouri
republicans are opposed to Mr.. Bates, and
says 1--WE, for our part, protest against this
Justification of public opinion; and we declare,
without fear of contradiction, that if the repub-
Hcdns of Missouri mot the know nothings,)
should Immediately take vote, their first
choice would be Seward or Fremont; and af
ter these, their votes would be given for
Chase, Lincoln, or Trumbull. Bates would
be their very last choice"

How RALPH WALDO EMERSON BRIGHTEN
ED THE WoLvERfNEs.-It was announced not
long ago that Mr.. Emerson, while on lectur-
ing tour at the West, having "missed the
train" chartered special locomotive to take
hi m to Marshall, Michigan, where he had an
appointment to fulfil. The Boston correspon-
dent of the Woonsocket Patriot relates fun
ny incident which happened to the transcen-
dentalist in that prudent village. The older
and more cautious citizens having heard the
terrible rumor floating through the air, that
the lecturer was an abolitionist, and believed
in John Brown, resolved to rebuke him by
staying away from the lecture. 1t happened
that Mr.. Emerson was in his best mood, and
gave an excellent and every way satisfactory
lecture, not even once abiding to the pro-
scrbed and ''pestilent" theme. On the follow
ing day, by the invitation of some of his
friends, he visited the union school in the vii
lage, and made brief remarks to the scholars
Some of the children inheriting the dread and
suspicion of abotionists from their fathers,
went home with the story that Mr. Emerson
had exhorted them to buy and read the life Of
John Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry.
There was a brief season of frenzy unseem-
ly exhibitions of profanity; hurried and ex-
cited councils ; and everywhere sense of in
jury and virtuous indignation. The principal
of the school was rebuked and the town was
in an uproar. 1t finally came to the light that
Mr.. Emerson, in alluding to the joys and per-
plexities of the school boys life, had recon-
mended "Tom Browns School Days at Rug
by" the school made famous by its connec-
ton with the excellent DR.. Arnold. 1t was
some time before the good old hunkers came
to realizing sense" that they had been sold,
or were willing that the sage of Concord"
should depart in peace.

SEVERAL GOOD TABLEAUX were presented
at the Old South tea.party last night, some of
them evidently having cost much time and
labor. One was a marriage scene from the
ministers Wooing;" Joan of Arc was
another excellent representation and there
was very pretty tabeau in which the May
pole, little children, evergreens and flowers
figured very largely; but the most fiowery and
suggestive subject was presented when the
curtain rose on the Flower of the Family"
The audience was hushed and made to I'M
derstand by the reverent tones of the prompt
er that thing of unutterable beauty and joy
would be revealed. The curtain rose on-a
barrel of -four lat sight of which the large au-
dience manifested uproarious applause. The
family flour is indeed popular. There were
several other excellent tableaux. The old fash
toned supper by the cold folks" was grand,
and only needed the large old kitchen with the
roomy old ire-places to render the illusion
complete. Evidently Worcester was ransack-
ed to procure the utensils used, many of which
bore the unmistakable stamp of colonial times.
This well managed tea party evidently brought
in considerable money.

his room was taken possession of by the teach
ers of the St. Johns Sunday School, forty in

complete silver tea set and very compliment

usual pleasing style. The company were sub
sequently entertained in manner conformable
to the regulations of the Lenten season, and
were highly gratifed with their visit. The
presentation and address were made by Henry
