A MURDERER TWENTY EIGHT DAYS UNDERGROUND.
Early i'll the month of May measures were taken in
Brownsville, Texas to inlct the death penalty upon
one Rodgers Tho had killed the assistant surgeon of
his regiment (the ,Seventy-seventh 0hio.) The gal
prisoner received religious consolation and expressed
his willingness to die. On the morning of the in
tended execution, however, be was found to have
suddenly disappeared. Search at once made,
but the utmost diligence failed to discover trace
that he had escaped into Mexico, and the pursuit
was accordingly abandoned The New Orleans Times
publishes a letter from Brownsville, by which it
appears that Rodgers had all this time been concealed
in hole under ground, which be 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.

PEAT FOR FUEL.-The New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield Railroad Company recently made an ex-
that for using peat for fuel in locomotive The
New Haven Journal reports that the trip to Spring
field and back was made with about twelve hundred
weight of peat, and adds:
In the generation of steam. it far exceeded either
wood COAL and even while running at the greatest
speed so rapidly did it gain that the furnace door
had to be thrown open The last six miles of the
return trip made without using particle of fuel
One great consideration, which will be hailed with
joy by the travelling public is the entire absence of
smoke or cinders, the whole substance burning to
ashes. The engine on its return, apparently as
free from cinders as when it first started out"
In certain localities peat could be obtained by rail-
roads at q very cheap rate.

A"BLAcK-MAIL" EDITOR CAuGHT:-The chief ed
itor of the Lucifer scandalous publication belong
ing to the lower order of the Lisbon periodicals. has
just been sentenced by decree of the supreme tri-
bunal of Portugal to fifteen years transportation.
This person, whose name was Guedes, made it his
business to call occasionally upon personages of the
of personal character which he regretted must ap-
pear in print unless certain sum could be paid to
his colleagues, who were of course most mercenary.
In this way he appears have eXtorted money from
the Marquis de Wanna. Lorenzo da Luz. director of
Bank of Portugal. and others. But finally he flew at
higher game. and trumped up scandaous story
about the King and the Duchess de Pamella, In
consequence of this he accused and brought to
trial.

Crops IN WEST TENNEssEE.-The Memphis Argue
of the Sd inst. says:-"A visit through five of the
counties of West Tennessee, satisfies one that the
crop prospects are better than could be anticipated
under existing circumstances. The heavy falls of
rain during the past few weeks has very materially
inUerfered with the progress of agricultural labors
among the farmers and planters throughout the dis
trct visited yet the farms looked to be in much bet
ter condition than would have been expected. Wheat
will be poor no large quantity having been sown.
and the fields which put, will not produce more
than half a crop. Cotton does not look very -four
ishinG, but will if the weather changes to few de-
grees higher temperature come out, as it has
generally boen well cultivated. Corn looks very
WELL and has received excellent culture thus far.
