The Danger He Was In and How He
Got Out of IL.

Fishermen have their i'll luck as well as
other people. AS for instance: A party of
citizens and railroad men went fishing the
other day in the placid Scioto. The scene
of their operations was near Mohler's dam.
They had fine sport for time, in dragging
their net in the river, and catching "red
horse" An engineer on one of our rail-
roads was placed behind the net to keep it
up, so as to prevent the "red horses" from
leaping over, instead of running plump in
to it. r..sH
But soon the party entered one of those
"deep holes" with which the gentle Scioto
abounds. Our Engineer, who is far better
at managing locomotive on a railroad
than a fish-net in deep water, in his efforts
to keep his head above water and preserve
his balance, became entangled in the seine,
and fell plump over head and ears into the
deep and dark river. Floundering for some
time, he at length recovered, only to repeat
the operation over and over till he became
quite exhausted.
At length, by strenuous effort having
succeeded in getting breath, he called out
to his companions in broken language for
help, somewhat after the style of the drown
ing Frenchman, whose knowledge of Eng
lish was rather imperfect: 81 '0iH drown
Nobody shall help me-" But his comrades
did come, like valiant sons OF Neptune, to
his rescue, releasing him from his entangle-
ment in the net, and from the peril of the
"dark hole" Before he goes a fishing
again with seine, he win probably learn
to manage one on dry land, like the gentle
man of whom ancient Greek jest books tell,
who, after meeting with catastrophe in
the water similar to the above, swore he
would never 90 into the water again till he
had first learned to swim.

THE NEW JAIL.

Occupancy of the New County Jail
Building -RemOVal of Prisoners
from the Old TO the New Jail-Their
Names and the Grimes for which
they stand Committed, dc.
The dwelling in the new County Jail Is
occupied by the Deputy Sheriff, W. L.
Turner. The Sheriff's office in the new
building, fronting on Mound street, is now
open tor business. 1t is much easier of
access than the Office in the old building,
and will be more pleasant and convenient,
both for the officers and the public. 1t is
on the same floor with the cells for the
prisoners.
The cells in the new jail have been sup
piled with new beds and bedding. On Fri'
day, the prisoners were removed from their
old quarters to their new ones in the new
structure. For some two weeks past, the
more desperate among them had racked
their brains and tasked their ingenuity to
effect their escape, knowing 1t would be
useless to attempt such thing after their
incarceration in the new prison. Buttheir
efforts or plans of escape were all complete
ly foiled by the unsleeping and constant
vigilance of the Sheriff and his assistants.
The prisoners themselves confessed they
knew not how it was, but they found that
their every movement, trick and device for
escape was as well known to their guards
as to themselves.
The prisoners, before being put into the
new cells, were stripped OF their old clothes,
thoroughly washed and dressed In new
suits. The fetters of such desperate ones
as had been put in irons for their safe Gus
tody, were taken off, it not being consider
ed necessary to keep them manacled to in
sure their remaining in the new jail until
discharged by due course of law.
The number of prisoners now in jail Is
nineteen, all males, OF whom nine are
white men, and ten are negroes, giving the
latter race majority of one.
The following seven prisoners are con-
fined under indictments pending against
them for the crimes named:
James Patterson, forgery; Thomas b.
Merrill bigamy; Charles Stewart, robbery;
John Slater, do; James Mullen, do; George
Swan (colored), shooting with intent to
kill; VIM. Jones, grand larceny.
The eleven following prisoners are in
jail, awaiting the action of the Grand Jury
in their respective cases. They stand
charged with thecrimes and offenses speci-
fled:
Charles Harris (colored), burglary; Hen
ry Williams, (colored), do; Nimrod Free
man (colored), shooting with intent to
kill; John Humes (colored), horse stealing;
Washington Moore (colored), assault with
intent to kill; John r. Smith, committing
rape on woman So years of age; William
Davis, (colored), burglary; James A. Con-
don, grand larceny; VIM. King, horse
stealing; VIM. Arthur (colored). grand
larceny; Thomas Ridley (colored), do.
One man, VIM. Welsh, is in prison for
want of bail on warrant for breach of the
peace.

[From the st. Clairsville Gazette, Maya
Terrible COn6agratiOn-One of the
Principal Squares of st. ClairS-
willie i'm Ashes-LOss 100000.

On Tuesday last, between two and three
o'clock In the afternoon, the cry of fire was
heard in our streets. The rear building of
Jepson's property in the middle square
was discovered to be on fire, which spread
with fearful rapidity until the entire square
on the south side of Main street from AL
bans alley to the slated roof building, erect
ed by John II. Williams, on the corner of
Main and Market streets, was entirely con-
sumed. This building, 1t is considered, pre-
vented the entire destruction of the whole
east end of town, and the Herculean efforts
of the men and women on the Alban prop
erty saved the west end Of town, although
they once or rtwice had given 1T up in despair.
The stables and back buildings in the rear Of
this square, with the exception of CampbelPs,
were entirely consumed, together with the
Methodist parsonage on the next square
south on Market street. Several times some
of the buildings on the north side of the
street-although the wind was from the
north-were on fire from the intense heat.
The square destroyed was occupied by
Messrs.L. Hoffner, Merchant Tailor; private
residence of w. s. Campbell and Judge
Harris; Geo. Brown & Co., Silversmiths;
residence and Grocery of John Jepson q
Son: Dry Goods store of John Patton !;
residence and Drug Store of l. II. Patter-
son: Law Office OF 0. j. Swaney; Boot and
Shoe store of John Bickham; Watson q
Gressinger, Dry Goods store; Henry Meyer,
Merchant Tailor; and the Gazette office.
The real estate belonged to Messrs. w. s.
Campbell, Geo. Brown, John Jepson, Isaac
II. Patterson, and Charles Collins.
We have lost our entire office, with the
exception of the standing matter on which
this number of the Gazette is printed; we
were engaged in making up our inside
form when the fire broke out. By the
courtesy and kindness of Col. Poorman,
this number Of the Gazette is issued from
the Chronicle office, where we expect to issue
it regularly until we get another Office OF
our own.
Our people behaved nobly, and fought
the flames with true courage. When we
reflect that we had nothing but ladders, and
no means to use water but with buckets to
contend with the raging frey element, our
people accomplished wonders. The wo-
men, Cod bless them, worked like heroes,
carrying water and assisting in saving per-
It is SUPPOSED that SlOO, 900 will not cover

cts for vocal music. We cannot specify
further. What we have stated is sufficient
to prove that the entertainment to be Civ

The Cohrmbus Morning J Journal is no better

The Columbus Morning journal Is no better
pleased. 1t INDUCES In these comments:
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
NJ. Key. the nominee for Supreme Judge,
is an old Whig. He was in the State Sen,
ate lin 1858 perhaps), and distinguished
himself as a mild conservative without any
strong convictions on any subject in partic-
ular. He was on McClellan's staff, and is
said to have written the best OF his dis
patches. He would not disgrace the bench,
if the Lord in his inscrutable Providence
should see fit TO place him there. 1t would
be rashness which Mr.. Key will not be
guilty of, however, for him to close up
his business in Cincinnati, with any ex-
pectaton of being so distinguished by Prov
idence.
General Ben. LeFevre is soldier, much
too good for the company he is in. His
name will not be sufficient to relieve the
Copperhead party of the odium OF their rec
ord during the war. 1t would take more
than one soldier to do that. The trick Is too
transparent.
OF Mr.. I.arwill we know nothing, ex-
cept that he was member of the last Ohio
House of Representatives, from Ashland
county.

serious Accidental Brute Of a Man

Serious Accidental Brute OF Man.
We learned at a late hour last night of
serious accident that befel couple of la
dies on South High street yesterday after
noon, of which we have only time to give
a few brief particulars. 1t occurred on
South High street. near Philip Esper's
grocery. A buggy, in which Mrs. Ed.
Reynolds and her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Green, were riding, was met by wagon
drawn by team of two horses, in which
was man, driving at rapid rate. The
wagon was driven into the buggy, smash
ing one of the wheels and otherwise break
ing it, and throwing Mrs. Reynolds out
who fell with her back upon the curb
stone. There she lay in an insensible con-
dition until removed. ...
Mrs. Green, though not thrown out, es-
capped from injury, as 1t were, almost mi-
raculously. She was entangled in the lines,
and her limbs got between the felloes of
one of the wheels. The horse, frightened
by the collision, started forward, and had
he not been seized by the head by Mr.. John
Short, who, with another gentleman, hap
pened to be passing at the time, Mrs. Green
would probably have been seriously, if not
fatally injured. ,.
While Mr.. Short was engaged in attend
ing to the rescue of Mrs. Green, his COM
panion hailed the man that was driving the
wagon that had caused the disaster, telling
him what had happened, and entreating
him to stop and lend his assistance. But
the more he was called upon, the faster he
drove off, and was soon out of sight. We
have heard OF such brutes elsewhere, but
were in hopes that none of them dwelt
hereabouts.
Attention was next directed to Mrs. Rey-
nolds. Mr.. Short and his companion, by the
aid of others whom they called to their as
sistance, carried her to house pear at hand
Strange to tell, they were refused admit
tance, and the door fastened against them
But upon making preparations to break
down the door, it was opened. Mrs. Rey-
nolds was taken in, and properly attended
to. She remained in an lnsensible state for
some time; but when our informant left
she had recovered SO far as to be able to
speak intelligently. We have not been able
to learn the precise extent of her injuries
but fear they are very serious.

their understanding of the contract for do

High NchooI Concert.

We congratulate the pupils of the High
School and their Instructor in Music, Pro-
fessor Schoppelrei, the brilliant success
of their Concert last night. In the first
place, they had large audience, filing the
Hall, which, we suppose, will seat from 800
to 1000 persons, to its full capacity.
In the next place, the music, both vocal
and instrumental, was truly grand. The
solos, the duets, the choruses, and every
piece in the programme, ELECTED, as each
well deserved, rounds of applause. The
choruses by the Pupils and the Manner
chor were executed in excellent style, and
produced grand effect. OF the perform
ances of Profs. Schoppelrei, Schirner and
Cherrier and the De BeriOt Club, 1t is un-
necessary to speak; they are always ex-
cellent. .~" '"-
We canuot close without passing COM
pliment to the pupils and their musical
teacher, Prof. Schoppelrei. They are for
tunate in having such an instructor, one
whose whole soul and energies seem to be
absorbed in the divine art to which he has
devoted himself, and his pupils gave evil
dence last night that they had proflted by
the Instructions and training given them
by the Professor. We trust that the en-
couragement afforded last night by the
large attendance of so many friends at
their Concert, will induce them to perse-
we're in perfecting themselves in music, as
we'll as in their other studies.
Thepupllso of the High School will re-
peat the Concert tonight, with several new
pieces added, for the benefit of Prof. Schop-
pelrei. Children will be admitted for %

1t will be seen from the above that there
are many of our citizens who are largely
interested in the building OF this road,
whose names do not appear In the list. We
do not deem it necessary to say word In
regard to the great Importance of this work
to the interests of our city. All understand
and appreciate the vital Importance OF the
enterprise. And if all who are interested,
will respond in amounts which will not In
commode them at all, the work will go on
and the road will be built; otherwise, the
enterprise must fail. Seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars Is asked from citizens
on the line directly interested in the road.
Four hundred thousand of the seven has
been assigned to our city; three hun
dred and fifty thousand to the remain
der of the line. Athens has, we are
Informed, already raised the quota as
signed to her; Columbus should respond
promptly with her quota. With the re-
quired amounts made up at the two ends OF
the line the amount assigned to the inter-
mediate points could be easily made up.
Mr.. Grau, of Athens, who has been labor
ing in this enterprise incessantly for the
past six months, is now in the city and will
remain for a week or two to aid those en-
gagged in the work here to raise the addi-
tional sum required of our city. We hope
those of our citizens who have not yet sub
scribed stock will respond promptly and
literally when called upon. We cannot
afford to allow this enterprise to fail.

men. Mr. Wilson, an old workman, has
been busily engaged in making "Wilson's
Combination Plow," and Mr.. N. Bowman,
another old and experienced workman
in the same establishment, has been en-
gagged in making the NO. 10 Steel Plow,"
with wrought iron standard. A rivalry
sprung up between them, and to test the
matter it was arranged to have a plowing
match. Yesterday afternoon, by invitation
of Mr.. John Short, Superintendent of the
Company, we witnessed the trial of superb
ority in these two plows on the farm of
Col. G. S. Innis, two miles south OF the city.
Col. Innis being an old farmer, was made
the umpire. Both plows were tested in
loose soil and sod, and both were pro-
nounced excellent, but the Colonel gave his
Judgment in favor of Mr.. Bowman's steel
plow, stating that it was by far the lightest
draught, and in loose soil secured exceed
, ingly well. The Wilson's combination did
good execution, making furrow in the sod
fourteen inches in width and seven to eight
inches in depth. The fact is, that in the
manufacture of Plows, as well as other
machinery, this Company cannot be excell-
ed in this er any other State.
