JAM pEMvERY.-We clip from the
kcossuqua Republican, the following
account Of tho escape of prisoners
from the Jail Of Van Buren, equity,
Iowa. Let our police DO on the
lookout:
"Four jail birds, confined in our
county iail-one for murder, and
three-two men and one woman
for Grand Larceny-made their o.
cape on Tuesday night last. Their
exit was made through pipe.hole in
the floor Of the second story; the
Same through which the notorious
Chas. Cackley made his. The wo-
man occupied the room in the second
story in which was the pipe.hole in
question. BY removing the boxing
which Twas fastened over the hole,
aud then the pipe, nothing remained
to proven. the parties below from
getting through except a way to
reach the hole above. This Difficult.
~ was overcome by letting wooden
blanket through the hole, by which
the parties below easily effected a
landing upon the upper door. After
reaching this point the battle was
virtually won. Tho locks upon the
doors in the second story are of q
very common character COM
mon house door lock. With . case
knife, or screw driver, that was ev-
identity in their possession, the task
Of unscrewing tho locks was a mat
tor of but a few moments work
passing into tho hall, tho fastening
to this door was easily removed and
from thence down stairs, through
tho main hall, to tho door leading out
of the building was their next move
mont. Reaching this, their last bar
rier to freedom was soon torn away
as those in their rear had BEEN
Out into the open air, away they
went and off they've gone, to-the
sheriff or nobody else knows whero. .

The BELLE AND THE STUDENT
Alta certain evening party a naughty
young beauty turned to q student
who stood near her, and said: "Cou.
sin John, l understand your eccen-
trio friend l. is here. Do bring
him here and introduce HIM to me-"
The student won't in search of his
friend, and at length found him loung-
lug on sofa. "Come, L." said
he, "my beautiful cousin CathariEe,
wishes to be introduced to you."
"Well, trot her ont, John"
drawled L., with an affected
yawn.
John returned to his cousin and ad.
vised her to defer the introduction
to a more favorable time, repeating
the answer he had received. The
beauty bit her lip; but the next mo-
ment said: "Well, never fear, shall
insist on being introduced"
After some delay l. was led
up, and the ceremony Of introduc-
ton was PERFORMED. Agreeably sur
prlsed by the beauty and command
ing appearance of Catharine, L--
made a profound bow but, instead
Of returning il, she stepped back
ward, and raising her glass, surveyed
him deliberately from head to foot ;
then waving the back of her hand
toward him, drswled out: "Trot
him of, John trot him of that is
enough"

ROLLING WHEAT.-ln general.
wheat ought to be rolled when it is
from two to four inches high, as that
will give it tendency to start new
roots near the surface, and conse-
qucntly derive all the benefit of the
mellow ground that has been crushed
with the roller, and the grain will
be plumper and brighter, if cut in
time, before the straw loses it's color.
l have traced the roots of wheat
three feet from the main stem. When
the ground on the surface is left hard
and cloddy, the surface roots have a
tendency to descend in search OF the
natural food they ought to receive
on the surface, ard if the subsoil is
bard and clayey, damp and cold,
they do not receive any benefit, and
consequently the straw is why
ana short. and the grain correspond
ingly small and shrunken.
Oats should not be rolled, as they
have tendency to give more straw.
