REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF Boys FROM A HoUsY
OF hEFUGE.-The Rochester Union gives an
account Of remarkable attempt made bv
twelve boys to escape from the House Of Refuge
In that city on Sunday. The twelve bows were
missed from the school-rOom in the morning
and Immediate search was made, but for some
minutes no trace Of them could be found On
going outside the walls, however two or three
coats, besmeared with mud, living on the
ground, revealed the course of their opera
tions. The account says:
There is sewer some 20 rods in length
running from the centre of the yard and ter
minating some rods outside of the wall. The
sewer Is used for draining the ward is feet
under ground, and only 20 inches SQUARE, and
Is guarded by two iron grates-one at the vent
In the yard, and the other directly under the
wall. 1t seems that during the week previous
the boys had filed of one bar of the erate in
the yard, leaving an aperture Of about Sinches.
through THIS passage the twelve BOYS passed
In minutes time, and, single file. thew
crawled on their bellies down the sewer to the
second IRON crate, where the first bow sue
ceeded, with the aid of broken shovel 6lade
IN opening passage under il through which
all passed; but the last one, who poi fouI. re-
mained there ten hours before it bees known.
when he had to be dug out.n
When the officers reached the outlet of the
sewer, hve OF the boys had made good their
escape, but were pursued and recaptured du-
ring the day. A small boy was sent into the
sewer to tell the others to come ont. as thew
could not escape. After an hours hesitation,
five OF them crawled out, covered with mud
and filth, saying that there were no more OF
them in there, and the remaining two were for
. time supposed to have escaped. But about
six O'Clock noise was heard in the sewer, and
boy being sent down to explore, reported on
returning that two boys remained thers-one
last under the crate. Both would inevitably
nave perished before morning but for this
umsiy discovery. II required an hours work
win spades, picks and crows to extricate the
one VINO was under the CRATE, and when taken
oul ne was SO much exhausted that medical
treatment was necessary to restore him.

Taking the Census.

In most parts of the United States the work
OF taking the Census of 1860 commenced on the
I5t OF the month, and the heads of families NAV
prepare themselves to answer any number of
questions. You must tell them how old YOU
are, how many children you have got. how
much money they are worth, what thew ars
good for, or if they are good for nothing
brotner Jonathan has always been renowned
iOr MS curiosity, and he is now about to give il
an othclal illustration which will turn eyery
tnlng inside out in the affairs of everybody
VINO owns his allegiance. Every head of a
family Is required to give the name, age. sex.
color, occupation, and birthplace of every
member of his household, the vaIue of his resI
and personal estate, and the causes of sick-
ness ana death, If there be any, in his family.
Nhat day OF Judgment it will be for single
persons OF an uncertain age, What n book of
doom the records which the man who takes
the census will carry under his arm But
there Is TINS consolation If you don't choose
To answer, or If you see fit, after the approved
YsIkee fashion of answering one nneition bx
asking another, to demand the age of Brother
Jonathan, what he is worth and vbether his
motner knows he's out, you are at perfect lib
erty to do so. And besides, though the cues.
lions embrace details, only general results
VIII be published in the returns from each dis
ulct, ana, therefore, no man need fear that
ms domestic concerns will be known To any
one but the officers of the government and
taelr particular friends. Seriously, we trust
that all good citizens will impart cheerfuIIy
10 the census-takers such information as will
be useful to the government, and not visit
upon their heads the responsibility of ques-
tons some of which SAVIOR strongly of imper.
tinence; but which, while not your duty To an.
sTer, it is their duty to ask. Everything that
relates to population, and which will throw
light upon progress in every department of
industry, should be promptly stated. Manu-.
tacturers should be prepared to give particu-
lars In respect to their capital, number of
hands employed, value of raw material used
value OF articles manufactured, motive mower
and cost OF fuel, cost and description Of ma.
chinery. Agriculturalists will be expected IN
furnish information in regard to their farms,
ana everything that gives value thereto, or
affects the productiveness Of the land Politi-
cally this census is very important, for by il
we are to be governed in the number of Rem
resentativeS from each State in Congress. The
rule IS now to give one Representative to eve
ry ninety-twO thousand inhabitants. and the
people should not, through obstinacy or care
lessness, withhold information that is of such
value to them.-RtehmORd Dispatch.

The Mission of a Flower.

We are not OF that sort. Like lingo in

dread cat whose lives or tails are nine;
Though other dangers but little heed,

There's something very insinuating
about the animal. It wheedles and
coaxes you, with its graceful motions
to assume conviction of its good faith
but we never do. The creature is en-.
