JAIL DELIvERY.-Last Sunday NOR
ming Just after sunrise, seven prisoners
confined in our county Jail made an effort
to escape by knocking down the Sheriff
and locking him in the cell. Mr.. Ball
enger, the Sheriff had confined the lot, ten
in number, in two separate cells--they cut
through the partition, and al, at the time
the effort to escape was made, were
in one cell, and when the Sheriff opened
the door for the purpose of attending to
their necessary wants, he was seized, and
bailey beaten over the face and head with
an iron bar in the hands of one of the
prisoners, and with the jailor, F. Wann,
dragged into the cell and the door
locked. The prisoners Immediately
broke for the rear of the Jail, and had a
good prospect for escape. but happily the
the alarm was given in time to sight
the negatives, and about one hundred
citizens started in pursuit and captured
the whole seven, within one mile of town,
they having kept in body. Mr.. Ball
engerss injuries are severe, but not fatal.
The same fate had been in store for the
old Sheriff, Mr.. Paxson, but having had
his suspicious awakened he was too wary,
and he heard their conclusions to wait
and try it on the new Sheriff.
