INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF THE ESCAPE OF
UNION PRISONERS.
Baltimore, Feb. II.

}, Baltimore, Feb. II.
The escaped Union officers reache
here this morning, and 60 to Washington
this afternoon. The account of their es
cape is full Of thrilling interest, but 70
prudential reasons many particulars ar
withheld from publication at present.
They were fifty-one days in making .
tunnel, having managed to find access t.
the cellar. They commenced work, re-
Iieying one another as they had opportu
nifty. Their instruments were case knives
pocket knives, chisels and files. Twice
they bad to abandon their work and com
mence anew on account of the obstruc,
tons which they could not pass. They
had hoped to avail themselves of cu!-
vert, but found it impracticable. After
getting through the wall they disposed of
the soil by drawing it out in spittoon
which they attached to cord. This
would be filled by the party at work in
the tunnel and pulled out into the cellar
by their companions who disposed of ii
by spreading it in shallow layers over
the floor and concealng it beneath the
straw. The work was necessarily very
slow, so close Was the atmosphere in the
tunnel that they could not remain in it
but few minutes at q time, and their
candles would 90 out. AT one time they
got so near the bend of the street that a
small hole about the size of a stove pipe
broke through, but fortunately was not
discovered by the guard, and was a great
ervice in admitting air and enablingI
hem to work more rapidly. The tunnel
When completed was about sixty feet
Dng and opened into an old tobacco shed
eyond the line of guards. As soon as
hey found the way clear they emerged
lowly in small squads of two or three
nd sauntered off until they got clear of
he guards, making their way towards
he Williamsburg road by the shortest
)utes. The darkness favored them, and
le fact that all the rebel soldiers whom
icy met were habited in the army coats
Uncle Sam, which they had stolen
ON the supplies sent to our prisoners
our government was of great service t
them. Although they were atiired in H
r army oyercoals, and many of them n
d their haversacks, they found the ma r.
nal uniform a better disguise than if h
y had been provided with genuine II
forms. la order to elude the pursu- V
who they knew would soon be on the W
ok they scattered as much as possible. ht
Many were their hardships and suffer
s, and frequent we're their barrow es- ~
es from the rebel cavalry, who the b
t morning were h-whacking in ev- OF
direction for them. The joy which ha
Y experienced when 'ioy Hrst caught
1t of our troops sent out to help aud oe
tect them from their pursuers, cannot as
expressed. To the officers and men be
the Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry or
ON they first met, they express most be
found gratitude for their unbounded pa
dness, and also bear testimony to the to
lantry with which these gallant fellows tn
sued the rebel cavalry and rescued pr
ny Of the way-worn fugitives who 9TH tn
rise would have been recaptured.- err
ere is good reason to hope that many de
re will yet come in safe. su

ANOTHER PENsioNER GoNE.-Died
in Reading, Feb. 6, Mrs. Sarah Rice
widow of Abiah Rice, aged 81 years
mouths and II days.
Mrs. Rice, says the Bellows Falls
Times, was at the time of her death, the
Oldest person in Reading, and since the
death of her husband who was ser.
geant in the revolutionary army, has
drawn Il pension from the government,
and was probably about the last revolu-
tionary pensioner in the state. Her ia.
ther, Richard Sterling, was among the
first settlers in Woodstock, and she was
not only made acquainted with the tolls
incident to life in the wilderness. as
Woodstock was at the time her father
moved there, but the priva;ions encoun-
tered by those who lived during the rev.
dictionary war, which she sustained with
a fortitude characteristic of the noble
women of that day. The "reminiscences
Of her youth were fresh in her memory
up nearly TO the time of her death. Du.
ring the past twenty-five years she has
resided in Reading, and has by her ami
able disposition and many virtues, fully
sustained the exalted character which
gives an undying reputation to The Moth.

THEFT.-On Sunday last we learn
that Jacob Prescott of Dummerston had
seventy dollars of money and goldIwatch
and chain stolen from him. A man by
the name Of Edward Rose who had been
for Prescott, was accused of the
theft, brought before Justice Field for
examination, bound over for trial at the
next County court, and in default of sur
ETY., was committed to jail at Newfane.
The money we understand has been re-
covered Phenir.

CROPS FOR NEXT SEAsoN.-On
those grain farms where a rotation of
crops has not been adopted 10 years past,
it would be good policy to turn the tho'ts
for a short time towards this important
subject.
Have oats, Indian corn, and barley
been the principal products for a number
of years past? Let some other crop be
grown the next season. If the soil is at
all clean and friable, it would be good
policy to SOW fax, or something else
which has not been raised on such fields,
which will return a remunerating crop,
without injuring the soil for a crop of
cereal grain.
ROTATION OF CRoPs.-Every farmer
in the grain growing regions, should de-
eide upon some good rotation of crops,
which he has the assurance will be adapt
ed TO his soil and climate. And during
the long evenings of February, when
there is much leisure, the subject should
be thoroughly investigated, and some
plan adopted for future action,-Coantry
Gentleman.

GRAND RAPIDS WISCONSIN--TIURSDAY, FEBRUARY
A Postrophy to Freedom.

Shanghai Chandler was recently imprisoned
for thraShins copperhead, in the quiet vii
lage of Friendship. IL late number of the
Adams Co. Press, he discourseth as follows:
Gel-lorious art thou, Liberty. None can
appreciate thee fully save those who have
been deprived of thy blessings Shades Of
Miguel d Ceryantcs, co,Tass Of S. NJ Booth,
and all ye shades and all ye corpus-es of all
ye lllustrious living and defunct who were or
are pent up and oppressed: you are the very
fellcrs L wish to congratulate me.
Blessed art thou, Judge Pierce, 0 my libe-
rator For even as the peerless Joan of Are
drew her sharp instrument in behalf of the
down-trodden, SO didst thou stalk forth with
thy powerful writ Of Hav'is Carcass, and yanl1
the fierce, cruel, tyrannical iron heel of Sher-
1T Cox from off the undersigned's neck =
That's what thou didst. Thou found me sick
of being in prison for no offtnse save slapping
an old copperhead's lanb chops, and thou un-
dldst the CALLING necklace from my neck,
gathered me together even as a chicken gath
ers the goslngs under her wings, bound up
my wounded feelings, pouring in tanglefoot
and lager beer, and coming various humane
games O that s)rt.
Yes, Freedom, you're bully. I'm reveling
into you, ''about these days" Truth mashed
to ycarth will get up again, Bryant says
That's me- Let no man henc eforth call me
culprit, or ask me how like Jail soup-be-
cause | don't banker arter it.
(Sigh-ned,) julius SHANGHAI

LEAP 1EAE.-Ve had forgotten to
mention to our unmarried lady readers that
this year of our Lord 1864, is leap year, but
It may not be news to them, since it has been
announced il the almanacs for several weeks
past. 1t is one of the privileged years, and
like all great privileges it involves great re-
sponsiblities as we'll. By ancient usage and
law maidcns have the exclusive right to love
making during leap years, and bachelors have
to submit to their fate, under heavy penalties
for refusal. As it may not be known to all
the unmarried what their respective rights
and duties are, we will produce the law on
the subject, showing that the advent of every
leap year completely overturns the old rules
which have governed the kingdoms of love
In an old law book printed in the year 1906,
where it treats of ''courtship, love and mat
rimony, we find the following:
Albeit, it is now become a parte of the
common Lave in regarde to the social relay
tlons of liie that SO often as cverie besextile
year dothe return the ladves have the sole
privileges during the time continueth of max
ing love unto the men, which they NAV doe
either by wordes Or lookcs, as unto the n
seemeth proper: and, moreover, no man will
be entitled to the benefits Of the clergy who
dothe refuse to accept offers of the ladyes or
who dothe in any wise treat her proposals
with site or contumelv.
