OBrTUARY.-One Of our most popular
physician, DR.. ]. T. Sale, died on Satur-
day morning Of a disease Of the bowels.
! DIR. Sale was an indsfatiga0le and sue
| cessfsl practitioner Of medicine, and was
held in high esteem, as q gentleman and
| companion, by all who knew him. This
[" taking of % was fearfully sudden, and
carries to q grief-stricken family and a
large circle of friends that sorrow which
no consolation or sympathy can reach
save that which comes from Above. DR..
Sale removed to this city from Louis
vile, Kentucky.
ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAL.-On Sun
day afternoon Mr.. McFall, u Of the
keepers st the county jail on Adams
street, discovered that eighteen negroes,
confined in one of the cells, had con-
cOcted q scheme for their escape. They
had raised a plank and eXcavated quite
q good distance toward the front wall
aud would probably have succeeded bat
for the watchfulness Of Mr.. McFaH.
They proposed to escape by the grating.
The little game, however, was put a stop
to, and ten of the inmates heavily ironed.
The new jail is badly required to keep
prisoners safe. It is emily owing TO the
wRtchfulness of the jailor and his assist
ants, that many have not got away long
since.

SECURE YOURSELVES In the midst
Of life we are in death. The every day
experience Of our lives but goes to prove
the correctness of this saying. Knowing
that life is Of but short duration, at best,
ii is g duty that all owe to their families
or surviving relatives, to provide for
them in case Of their demise. It costs
but = small amount, and untold good is
often received by a small outlay. Our
old friend, Mcclure, who has an office at
IS Jefferson street, represents one of the
best companies in the Union, and will
insure on the most advantageous terms.
Drop in and see aim.
