HENRY CnuNrY NEWS.

The Chronicle learns that California
Jack" whose name is a household word in
the prisons Of this locality, was recently ar
rested with two confederates, on charge OF
highway robbery in Pennsylvania; but turn
ing states evidence, be succeeded at once
iu sending his coufederates to prison and
freeing himself. At the time of this per
formance, Jack was Oh bail as one of the
robbers of the County TreaslEer's safe at
Cambridge.
The delegates from Henry county to Joli.
ct, appointed by the last term of the Circuit
Court, consisting Of one murderer, two com
mon thieves and one burglar, met with an
acciden. en- route to their quarters. They
we're mpanied in their journey by the
sheriff, and near Atkinson the train got
stuck in snow drift, which delayed 1t
considerable time. The Sheriff IN the dull
ness of waiting fell asleep, and his fellow
travellers became impatient and lett the
| train without the usual formalities OF sepa'
rating friends. On waking, the officer felt
uneasy without his company, and besought
the passengers to help him to find 1t. A
vigorous search soon revealed the whole
party in a blacksmith shop, trying to get
| their bracelets off. 1t is needless to add
that they all returned to their places in the
train, and reached Joliet in safety.
The name OF the post Office at New Wind
sor has been changed from Rvoli to New
Windsor, to correspond with the name o.
the town.
The Chronicle enters upon its twelfth veal
with its last number, and says it is in {
healthy vigorous condition, and is happy.

State Teachers Association meeting
is an important event to all practical edu'
Gators as we'll as to oil interested III the
cause of education. Every teacher that can
possibly do SO, should be present and obtain
facts from the general experience of State
teaching which will be there presented. A

BARGE SuNK.-From the COurierdnd
Argus We learn that on last Friday, the
steamer Lady Pike grounded barge, load.
ed with seven thousand bushels Of wheat,
on bar few miles below Burlington.
Every effort was make to get it sfoat, but
without success, SO it was left until some of
he wheat could be transferred to another
barge. On Monday, and before this could
be done, the ice cut the barge to pieces, and
the entire cargo, valued at about five thous.
and dollars, was total loss.
On the same day, and while the ice was
running heavily, the steamer Pretender
grounded on the same bar, and was obliged
to throw overheard several thousand dollars
worth of -four, wheat, and other produce,
before she could get of. 1t seems as though
there has been more destruction on the river
during the last four weeks than in two years
before,
