The REFORM SCHooL.-A correspond
ent of Walton's Journal states that the
Commissioners, Rev. Messrs. Pease and
Dunn and Lewis Pratt, Esq, met some
of the citizens of Waterbury, and said
they had come to inquire into the facili-
ties of that place for the establishment
Of the Reform School.
Various places were talked of, and
finally a committee of three were ap.
pointed, to go with the commissioners to
visit the most suitable places in that
vicinity. All par ties met again on Tues
day evening, when it appeared that the
farm of Lyman Beebe was decided to be
the most suitable for snch a school,
And should the commissioners decide
to locate the institution here, and proper
terms can be arranged with Mr.. Beebe,
the Waterburians will soon have "the
boys" with them.

HE INVENTOR OF RBCoHsrRuorIos.-
Somebody in the Boston Traveller, evil
IDENTIFY we'll acquainted with him, tells
US who is j. Q, A. Fellows, the man who
says he drafted the plan Of reconstrue-
ton, which was adopted by President
Lincoln; and which Is now in progress ::
~. Q. A. Fellows was born at Tops
ham, Orange county, Vermont, gradua-
ted at Burlington College, and after
studying law went to New Orleans.
When the war broke out he was known
as Union man, and opposed the seces-
sionists with whom Elk Gov. Hahn then
acted. After the capture of the city he
was ranked among the conservatives,
and when Hahn, who had become
Union man, was run for governor, Mr..
Fellows was the unsuccessful demo-
cratic opponent. Though slower than
many of the original secessionists to &C
cept the consequences of the war, he has
the reputation OF being an able and up.
right man, and If his character has not
greatly changed since his school days,
his word may be implicitly relied upon"
The Burlington Times adds to the
above, that Mr.. Fellows married his
wife 10 Burlington, and was classnate
of Prof. Petty and VIM. J. Shaw, of that
city, Col. Farnham, of Bradford, and
other well known citizens.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.--It is prob
ably known, that the prisoners in the
jail are ordinarily kept in room, the
entrance of which is secured first by an
iron CRATE, and outside of that by an iron
door, both of which are locked For some
time past seven convicts have been con-
fined there, and some OF them appear to
be tough customers" Last Thursday
evening about s O'Clock, while the Jailer,
Mr.. Briggs, was absent, three or four of
the persons took down a plank which
had been kept in the room for them to
stand upon to look out at the high win
dows. and commenced thrusting it with
all their might against the iron door,
This they continued to do till they
broke the lock and forced open the
door. They were OF course still held in
by the grating, and what their precise
intentions were, whether mere mischief
or final escape, we cannot tell. Mean
while Mr.. Briggs came home, and imne-
diately sent for Sheriff Field, who soon
arrived with sufficient force for any
emergencies. Placing themselves be-
fore the entrance with drawn pistols, the
officers called upon three individuals by
by name, and ordered them to come out,
one at a time, and take their places in
the dungeon. This after some hesita-
ton they did.
OF the three men thus closely confined
two are horse thieves, and the other Is
the one who was put in jail the other
night for disturbance in the street.
