A MURDERER TWENTY EIGHT DAYS uN-
DER GRouND.-Early in the month of May
measures were taken in Brownsville, Texas,
to inhict the death penalty upon one Rod
gers, who had killed the assistant surgeon
of his regiment (the 77h Ohio) The gal
lows was erected, all due preparations made,
the prisoner received religious consolation,
and expressed his willingness to die On
the morning of the intended execution, how
ever, he was found to have suddenly disap-
peared Search was at once made, but the
utmost diligence failed to discover any trace
of the missing criminal 1t was generally
supposed that he had escaped into Mexico,
and the pursuit was accordingly abandoned
The New Orleans Times now publishes a
letter from Brownsville, by which it appears
that Rodgers had all this time been conceal
ed in hole under ground, which he had
followed out with his own hands. He had
lived for twenty-eight days within easy
hearing distance of the guard, and only
hunger would have led to his recapture.

A FUNNY SToRy.-The Detroit Advertiser
is sponsor for the following:--About one
year ago one of orr business men visited
New York city, and while there ordered II
half dozen cartes ds pisite of himself, which
he distributed among his friends in that
place. A few days ago he was surprised TO
find one of these counterfeit resemblances"
in possession of the family cook. An inves-
tigation into the matter disclosed the TACT
that she had received it from fortune-teller
in New York city, who advertised to forward
correct likeness of any young lady's flu
ture husband, all for the sum of fifty cents,
which amount the cook had remitted, ac-
cording to the advertisement, and received
her employers likeness in return.

THE CLOSh OF BT. JOHNS FAIR
We understand that the Fair and Festival
of 81. Johns Church, which closed on We'd
nesday evening, met with very great sue
cess. This was well deserved by the extra
ordinary zeal and liberality, not only of the
members OF the congregation themselves,
but of very many of our citizens in general
Indeed, no such undertaking has ever been
more popular in Wilmington. Every one in
attendance speaks in high terms of the en-
joyment which they received, either from
actually assisting in the work, or from mere,
ly visiting the exhibition. Some idea can be
had of the numbers thronging the hall from
the fact of there being consumed during the
six days about one hundred and ten gallons
of Ice Cream and three hundred and forty
quarts OF Strawberries The number OF
bouquets furnished daily was also very large,
and much of the beauty of the Fair was ow.
ing to the display in this direction. The
prices of articles for sale were unusually
reasonable, and buyerswere left free to make
their purchases without those annoyances
that often deter persons from visiting such
places. We feel that all concerned meri
very general congratulation upon the happy
and prosperous manner in which everything

The first volume of the Reports of Judge
Houston has been published, and is now
being circulated among the members of the
bar in this State This work contains all
the important decisions of the several Courts
from the Spring of 1866 to the Fall of 1858.
Judge Houston has faithfully performed his
duties as the official reporter; the cases are
given with sufficient fullness to bring out
clearly the exact points adiudicated, and the
syllabi have been evidently prepared with
great care. The index is full and complete,
and the mechanical execution of the work is
admirable. We understand that the Judge
has on hand sufficient matter for another
volume, which no doubt will be put to press
as soon as proper arrangements can be

AN IN%VULNERABLE COAT.

We have no sooner come TO know the
efficiency of breech-loaders than an in
ventor steps in to neutralise them. The
game of guns .verSus armour, which has
been played so long on a great scale,
must henceforth be transferred 10 the case
of smaller firearms. We write thus
on the authority Of a report furnished
by LIE N0rd of q remarkable test, TO
which the invention of a light coat impe-
netrable to musketry fire has been sub
iected, the inventor being NJ. Charles
Bernard, with whose invention rumour
has for a few weeks been busy. Accord
ing to LIE Nord the trial took place two
DAYS ago at the Belgian Tir National, in
presence of M. Duly, president of the
competition, and of a great number of
marksmen. The experiment was made
with cavalry carbine, charged with three
grammes and a half Of powder, and the
conical ordnance BAH for that arm. The
carbine, after having been tested and re-
gulated, was placed upon a stand pointed
at the level of the breast. M. Bernard,
placing himself at the distance of a hun
dred metres, commenced by taking oft his
coat, and showed that between his breast
and his capote there was absolutely moth
ing but his shirt and his waistcoat. He
then put on his capote, which is a flowing
garment falling to the ground, and cover
ed his head with a steel casque. The
shot was then fired. The public were
greatly moved when they appeared to
see M. Bernard stagger and fall. Hap
PLY, he had only made a false step in
STOPPING to pick up the ball, which had
struck him a little above the waist and
to the left side. The ball deadened
against the stuff. had fallen at his foot,
it. At a short distance he threw the ball
to the marksmen, crying to them not to
approach. Not yet having taken out a
patent, M. Bernard absolutely refused 10
let the garment be examined by which
he obtained so marvellous a result. The
ball was only slightly beaten out of shape,
and bore on its point the impress of the
stuff. The inventor offered to renew the
experiment; but, in presence Of the re-
suit obtained, those present declared a
new experiment unnecessary. The coat
is said to weigh very little, so that there
can be no objection 10 it on the score of
ats-Durdcnsomeness. Are infantry hence
forth TO be useless against each other
unless they are armed with heavier wea-
pons, which it will certainly be a novelty
TO introduce after all the desire of militia
ry men to have the lightest possible
weapon? But there will be nc help
for it if it is possible, by increasing the
weight and power of the infantry soldiers
weapon, to make the necessary defensive
armour, even with the advantages of the
present invention, too heavy. - London
