81. RnfrIcIt.

Saturday, March IL, the 1494th anniver-
sary Of the birth of Saint Patrick (Patri-
cius),, the patron saint OF Ireland, was very
generally celebrated, and, so far as wehave
heard, without any of those outbreaks or
disturbances of the public quiet that were
anticipated. In lieu ofa notice of any pub
lie demonstration here, which, we believe,
did not take place, we give from an ex-
change the following sketch of the life of
st. Patrick: ttt,-,. n-,-
He was born, tradition says, near the site
Of Fitzpatrick, at the mouth of the Clyde,
in Scotland, in 372. and died at Down.. Uls-
ter, probably in 464, aged % years. AT the
age of 16 he was carried captive to Ireland
by band of marauders, but made his es-
cape after six months and reached Scot
land. Carried off a second time and again
escaping, he re- olved to becomea mission
ary TO the Irish, was ordained in Scotland,
and, after long preparation, was conse-
Grated Bishop. Having previously, accord
ing to some accounts, visited Gaul and per-
haps Italy, lie passed over to his chosen
field of labor about 432, and preached the
Gospel with such extraordinary effect that,
although not absolutely the first to intro
duce Christianity into that country, he has
always received the credit of its general
conversion. He baptized the Kings of Dub
lin and Munster, and the seven sons Of the
King of Connaught, with the greater part
of their subjects, and before his death had
converted almost the whole island to the
faith. St. Bernard testifies that he fixed
his metropolitan see at Armagh, and 1t ap-
pears that he appointed several other bish-
ops, with whom he held councils to settle
the discipline of the church which he had
planted. In his old age, he wrote his "Con-
fession," the authenticity of which, howev-
er, is doubted. 1t may be found in Sir
James Wares edition of the works of st.
Patrick (S vo., London, 1859. The Roman
Catholic. church keeps his festival on
March II. A popular legend ascribes to
him the Punishment of all venomous crea-
lures from the island by means of his cio-
sier or staff, which Ralph HigdeH, in his
"PolychrOnicon," mentions as being kept
with great veneration at Dublin in 1850. 4

The Enterprise Given mp ne Had
Sob--rhe Undertakors Ironed aud
Confined 70 the Dung con.
Three notorious individuals, indicted at
the present term OF our Common Pleas,
made quite an enterprising attempt on Mon
day to break out of our county Jail, without
waiting for the slow process of the Court to
deliver them from incarceration in that
riekety old building, which is destined soon
to, be abandoned as prison for the new,
more commodions and stronger structure
recently erected.
Z The enterprise In question was underS
taken by Charles Stewart, VIM. Miller and
VIM. Miers. Against Stewart, two indict-
ments are pending for robbery; against
Miller, two indictments for burglary, and
against Miers, three indictments for burg
larry. They did not choose to remain in
jail until jury should declare their inno-
cence of these heavy charges; but they took
into their hands to work out their own dis
charges, without putting the Court to the
trouble, or the county to the expense of
public trials in their several cases. 0aHt
They were confined In the range of cells
on the south side of the Jail and in the
third cell from the western end of the range.
With small knife and stick, being all the
/ tools that could be found, they c0ntirevd
to make a hole through the sixteen inch
brick partition into the cell next beyond in
tine west. Through this hole they passed
into the next cell, and then, inSlike manner,
through the next partition into the last cell
on the west The door of this cell being
open, admitted them into the room where
the female prisoners are usually kept con-
fined in the day time. .3 ..r
Passing from this apartment into the
hall on the west of the cells, they COM
menced mining the brick wall Of the jail,
nearly under the front entrance door of the
Court House. After digging In some few
feet, they found they had undertaken
hopeless enterprise, and gave it up, as they
afterward said, as bad job, and returned
to their own proper CELL. fAa
Their mining operations were discovered
about six o'clock in the evening, when prep
arations were being made to serve out to
the prisoners their evening meals. They en-
deavored as much as possible to palliate and
conceal their operations, but these were too
plainly visible, and Sheriff Domigan was
inexorable. He ordered Stewart, Miller
and Miers to be forthwith put in irons, and
confined in the dungeon until the Court
should make different disposition OF them.
This is the sixth unsuccessful attempt
made by prisoners to escape from the Coun-
ty jail, during the administration of Sheriff
Domigan, which commenced a little over
two years ago. 1t seems to be utterly use
less to attempt to elude the vigilance of the
Sheriff and his ever watchful assistants.

meeting Of the Association.

3. The meetingof the Franklin Democratic
Association last evening, was very well at
tended. The subjectof discussion was the
question: "Where does the sovereignty.
in our form of Government reside-in the
people as whole, or in the people of the
several States?" The discussion was open
ed by r. Hutcheson, ESD, Of this city. We
heard portion of fhisremarks, in which he
gave brief, but interesting sketch Of the
history of the formation Of our Federal
Union, with the object Of demonstrating
that the sovereignty resides in the people
Of the several States separately considered.
We did not learn who followed Mr.. Hutch
eson, but presume that the same subject
was continued for discussion at the meeting
next Tuesday evening. aii sf1d i91

The Nep York ribune has correspond
ent travelling in the South, who, OF course,
sees things through the Trfbupe's specta-
cles. He makes mention OF recent cleo
ton of county officers in the heart of North
Carolina, and says, "of course successful
candidates were original secessionists. y
Immediately after this, he adds: The new
ly chosen officers waited upon the officers
of the Freedmen's Bureau for the district,
and expressed themselves anxious to under
stand their duties as affected by the Bureau.
and to cooperate with its officers in guard
ing the public welfare. Such an arrange
ment was of course made without difficult
ty." 1t is very good sign for the "heart Of
North Carolina when even ''original Sc
cessionists" manifest an honest desire to
know what the Government requires, and
a wish to aid the United States officers In
their rduties.-CleUeldnd Herald.

Another Lady-eh oking at SPRING.
field.

The Springfield burglars, who are said to
be quite numerous, daring and cunning,
must be fond of putting their hands around
ladies' necks. Some time since we gave an
account of young lady of Dayton, who
was choked by burglar at Springfield,
and has not yet recovered from the injuries
inflicted. .. . .r. tt.
The Republican gives an account of
another operation of similar kind, which
took place about four o'clock on Saturday
morning. A young lady, Miss Alice john
son, was suddenly awakened by feeling the
clutch OF hand upon her throat. She
was choked SO severely as to cause the
blood to flow from her mouth, and her face
afterward to swell and become discolored.
BY some movement she made, or from
some other cause, the ruffian who had her
by the throat, became alarmed and fled,
throwing her sisters dress over his head as
disguise. But the injured girl had the
strength and courage to follow the rascal
some distance from the house to an alley,
where he dropped the dress, which was re-
covered. The burglars, for there appears
to have been more than one, carried off
about $40 worth of plunder from the house.
They replenished fire to make themselves
comfortable while consuming some parched
corn found in their explorations.
