BROKE Messrs. Baird and Jones,
Inform us that the prisoners in the Jail at
Tyler, all (six in number) escaped there
from on Thursday night of last week,
among them John J. Boyer, who has been
confined for several months past, charged
with robbing the mail at this place. The
Tyler Reporter gives the following partic-
ulars of the escape:
JAIL DELIvERY.-On Thursday
night last we had another Jail de-
livery here. This is the second since
the appointment of the present
jailor, neither of which is, in its de-
tails, very complimentary to him
or TO any body whose business it is
to look after the safety of the occu-
pants of that institution. Six per-
sons escaped this time-one, a negro,
sentenced to be hung yesterday, but
whose time had been extended by
the Governor; two sentenced to the
penitentiary, one white man, for
Is years, the other for a time not
now remembered. The other three
were either convicted or charged
with high crimes. The Jail here has
always been regarded as one of the
safest in the State. 1t is a safe jail.
All six ofthe escaped prisoners were
in the iron cage in the lower room.
No one was left on the outsidein that
room. IL is impossible for any one
on the inside of the cage to reach the
cage locks. The entrance locks to
tAe Jail were not interfered with.
About q week ago a fire in the Jail
burnt in two a sill at the corner of
the house on the inside, Just in the
right place. 1t is singular that the
fire was not dicovered until it had
Just accomplished the necessary
work 1t is stranger that no move

injury then done. 1t is passing
