BY reference to our advertising
columns. it will be seen that that old
established and favoritc institution
Dolbear's Commercial College; is
still in existence, and offers. as of
old, superior advantages to parents
wishing to give their children a good
commercial education. Young men
wishing to improve their business
qualifications, should avail them
selves of the advantages offered, and
our word for it, they will be aston
ished at the rapidity of their i'm
provement. We take pleasure in re-
commencing the college, which has
been in full operation as far back as
we can remember.

There WAS a stampede from Au-
burn State Prison Yesterday. abou,

We're about to cease. Eight convicts
had planned an escape, and executed
it by undermining the wall near the
creek. The entrance to their hole
under the wall was covered from
view by large box, which seems to
have been left there for their advan-
tage. 1t was the holdrst dig out we
ever heard OF, and that il was success
10 be the characteristic of the man
agement of the prison.
When the eigh, rogues had mace
their escape and were running away,
they were discovered by n guard up
on the wall, as they wore the prison
uniform. He gave the alarm and
followed. firing upon one, shooting
him through the body. The convict
died in short time.
-Four of the fugitives soon after
surrendered, finding escape impossi-
bic. Another, more defiant, turned
upon his pursuer, who had gun, aud
refused to yield. The man shot the
dead. Two alone of the
eight were at large last night when
the chase was given up.
