Sergeant jenkins, Keeper of the Work"
house, has submitted the following report
for the month of August to Receiver Bass.
From this report we learn that the store
account for that month amounted to $50
%, fresh beef $40, salary S28 S35, which
summed up shows the whole expense to
be only $l33 81. The number of prison.
ers received was 304.
In order to show how much less il has
taken to run the Workhouse under the
present management than when Flagler
had control of it we publish the reports of
Flagler for the months preceding as fol-

The Memphis Avalanche of Thursday
ssys:
The rains for the past few days have
been general, and hopes are entertained
that the fall Of rain has been sufficient to
cause rise in the water courses. The cot.
ton season will soon open in foil blast,
and unless low water interyenes business
on the river will be quite brisk, and in
the next thirty days there will be plenty
OF business for all the boats that are in

Atfemnf 10 Break Jail.

The Paris Intelligencer says that an un-
successful attempt was made last Tuesday
night by the prisoners coLfned (six in
number to set themselves at liberty.
Fortunately, however, they were discovered
in time to prevent anything of the kind
occurring which would have been detri-
mental to the best interest of our commu-
nifty. 1t seems that the wife of one of the
prisoners concealed a case knife, with a
file upon the back of it, in plug of to-
bacco and gave it to the husband, and this
is the instrument with which they worked.
A few hours more or less vigilsnt jsilor
and all would have been once more at
liberty.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN mICHIGAN.

The Saginaw (Michigan) Enterprise Of
the Dist says:
"a terrible tragedy occurred at Salz-
burg about 4 O'Clock, yesterday morning,
after the return of the steamer W r.
Clinton, with an excursion party from the
bay. Mrs. Grace, formerly the wife of
James Grace, but separated from her
husband, keeping boarding house at the
salt works, was accompanied on the ex-
cursion by one of her boarders. After
getting off the boat at Bay City they
were waylaid by young man named
Foote, who shot Mrs. Grace twice, once
through the head and once in the shoul~
der, instantly killing her. The murderer
then fred in the air, apparently as a
feint for shooting himself, and then
jumped off the dock and was drowned.
1t is thought his jumping into the river
was a strategy to escape by getting
under the dock but it is supposed he
struck on log that stunned him, and
was drowned. No cause but jealousy is
assigned for the cowardly murder"
