After the execution of this wayward
young man at Belyidere, on the 9Th
inst his remains were conveyed to the
home of bis parents, about four miles
west Of Blairstown, arriving there
about six o'clock P. NJ.
On Saturday afternoon the body
was deposited in its resting place on
the farm Of Mr.. Harden. The general
esteem which the Harden family have
long and deservedly enjoyed in the
neighborhood, and the deep sympathy
felt for them in their afiiction, called
out an unusually large attendance Of
of acquaintances and friends, and a
deep solemnity pervaded the entire
multitude. The opening prayer was
offered by the Rev. |. n. Vansant, oi
Hope; an appropriate hymn was
sung when an impressive dis
course, founded on Hosea vi, 4, was
delivered by the Rev, j. B. Mathis,
Of Saltwater. The solemn services
wereclosed By the benedictien, pro
nounced by the Rev. Mr.. Reilly, o.

Broke Jail.

On Tuesday evening about half past
ten O'Clock, our town was suddenly
thrown into state of excitement by
the ringing of the Court House bell
So unusual sound at so late an hour,
soon attracted large crowd In the
street, many supposing there was an
other fire. We soon learned, howev-
er, that only prisoner had escaped
Dr. Field, who was imprisoned some
time since, and indicted at the last
term of court for an assault and bat
terry on the person of j. King Arndt,
of Milford. Field had by good beha.
vior somewhat won the confidence of
the Sheriff, who was In Consequence not
SO strict with him as he might have
been, but allowed him the freedom of
the jail and yard till late in the even
ing, lie took advantage of this, and
on Tuesday evening after dark prepar-
ed for fight. The means used for
scaling the wall were somewhat inge-
nious He 6rst placed table in the
corner of the yard, and on that chair;
then with two Stats from his bedstead,
securely tied together, on which were
nailed blocks to be used as steps, he
made q ladder to reach from the chair
so the top of the wall. Once on the
top he could easily reach the ground
outside by jumping on the top of q
shed which stood very near the yard.
1t was thought he had some aid in es-
Gaping, and q stranger who arrived in
town about dark, and acted In a sus-
picious manner, was strictly watched
and afterwards closely questioned and
searched, but nothing was proven a.
gainst him to implicate him in any
with the escape Of Field. That some
one aided him, is evident, for he could
never have completed his arrangements
alone.
The sheriff has offered g reward of
Jyfy dollars for his capture. -Hs.ateg'~

A Correction.

A Correction.
Mr.. Editor: I crave few lines In
your sheet for the purpose of setting
right q Misrepresentation which ap-
peared in tho Beacon last week. To
he brief, will say the article in ques-
ton is the one purporting to be cor
rect account of a little scrub game Of
cricket, played on Wednesday last,
between seUea of the lst eleven, and
the entire End eleven OF the Delaware
Club. BY an arrangement of words
the writer Of the article gives out that
the first mentioned portion of the club
were out in full force and power, and
in that condition were defeated. The
impression given is an erroneous one,
and apparently done with wilful, evil
intent. Any clear headed person can
not fail TO perssive the mighty odds of
seven against eleven, yet We are re-
ported as receiving an inglorious de-
feat We call the attention Of tne
writer to the score, and perchance a
ray of the true facts Of the case may
enter his noddle.
