VOLUNTARY RETURN To A DUNGEON
Ina n Penitentialy Preferred TO the
Cold Charity OF soe World and Con-
slant Appre hen sions OF Arrest.

From the Cincinnati Chronicle. Jan. 20.
One day last week we published an ac-
couRt of the escape of p convict who Was
under sentence TO the penitentiary, from
the Jail at Liberty, Ind. Immediately after
the escape became known. the sheriff of the
county published the offer of a reward of
$50 to whoever would return the fugitive
to his quarters in Jail. Now this reward was
not sufficiently large to induee any person
to undertake vigorous search, aud so
there was no prospect that the Jail breaker
would be brought back, except by mere
accident. The escape was the talk of the
town for day or two, and of course every
body had to visit the Jail to see how the
escape had be en- effected, and to make such
suggestions as the occasion might call forth.
On Thursday morning last, about 10
O'Clock, while party of gentlemen were
thus engaged, the door of the Jail opened
and man walked deliberately in, making
the remark. Gentlemen, guess you don't
know me-" A close inspection Of the
speakers features, however, revealed the
fact that he was none other than the great
escaped, and in the conversation which en-
sued, he stated that after escaping lie had
made his way southwark into Kentucky,
lodging from place to place, often suffering
aHu toutluuiilt Dy
the fear that the officers of Justice were on
his track seeking to rearrest him. In this
way he finally reached Lexington, KY, from
which point he retraced his steps. deter
mined to give himself up again to impris.
Onment
He further stated thst he had about con-
cluded tkat while he WAS serving cut his
term of four years in the penitentiary, he
could by hard work acquire some good
trade. which would enable him to obtain a
livelihood after the expiration of his term
of immurement. He was also sure that
he would have warm clothes in the peni-
Tertiary, even if the suit he would wear
there should hardly be deemed presenta-
BILE one in which to appear in society
The prisoner also showed that in return
ing he had qui- all eye to business, for he
very modestly made claim to the convenient
little sum of $50, which had been offered as
reward for his return. He could not see
why he was not as well entitled to the re-
ward as anybody else. Very much to his
regret the officers of Justice informed him
that they couldn't see il that way, and pro-
ceeded forthwith to induct him safely into
the most secure quarters about the Jail,
where he will probably remain until the
Sheriff conducts him TO the great bas,lle of
Hocsierdon, which graces the banks of the
muddy Ohio at Jacksonville.

HORRORS ON SHIPBOARD.
Terrible Mortality Among Emigr nts
Ernrn the Now York TimasA

~ ..
From the New York Times.)
Sanitary Superintendent Harris has just
received the report of the Waterside Sani-
tary Inspe ctor, DIR. johnson, in regard to
the ship John Berram. This vessel, which
Is of us tons burden, arrived at quaran-
tine on tie 10th instant, after VOYAGE of
103 days from Hamburg, more than half of
which had been spent in battling the con-
trary winds of the North Sea. The ship
started with AS German emigrants, who
stepped on board at Hamburg in ruddy
health, with all the stolid strength of
Fatherland unimpaired. When the ship
came to anchor IN the Lower Bay at the
close of this protracted and stormy voyage,
nineteen of these sturdy emigrants had
been committed 20 deep sea graves fifty
others had been Frustrated by almost NOR
tai sickness, and nearly all of them were
but the ghosts of the sialwart men, wo-
men ana children who shipped at Ham
burg.
Upon examination the ship was found to
be in the terribly filthy condition naturally
resulting from the crOwding o. so many
human beings in SO small space for so
long time. Although the vessel had a
liberal supply of medical stores. she car
ried no surgeon, and her medicines were
Of little avail when ignorantly administer
ed. The sickness and mortality Were ma
erialiy increased by the neglect during the
voyage of the simplest SANITARY rules. -
There is no pretense that there was on the
part of the officers any intentional neglect
or ill.treatment OF the steerage passengers,
bat the most deplorable results certainly
followed the over-crowdng. which was not
their fault, and the protracted voyage,
which, of course, was a circumstance be-
yond their control. The sick of the vessel
were removed TO hospital, and on Friday
last she was permitted to come to her dock
| in the East river She was officially visit
ed by DIR. Judson, who caused her TO be
thoroughly cleansed and had removed from
her two carloads of the refuse of the voy-
age, which was foul beyond description. =
Previously to this those of the emigrants
who Were styled well because they were
not stretched upon their backs; were land
cd at Castle Garden. They were able &c
crawl upon the land they had thought tc
reach in perfect health, but ther seemed
only spectres from shadow ship.

A Terrible Sforv.

In an article referring to the necessity for
harbor Of refuge at Port Washington, the
Advertiser tells that story of shipwreck of the
Toledo off the port in 1856 Ths disaster oc-
Cured within a stones throw of the pier and
the scene is described as one of the most
heart rendering ever witnessed. Through
out the entire day while the gale was fright
ful and the sea running mountains high the
boat lay, her flag at half mast, tossing and
pitching about, the large throng gathered
knowing that she must soon go to pieces and
they unable to render any assists nee. Effort
after effort was made to get to the ill-fated
steamer with boats, but no boats however
skillfully managed could pass the breakers
aud each one had to return, while the doomed
victims could plainly see that the efforts to
save them were unayailing and that their fate
was sealed.
As darkness came on the wailings of the
women and children on the vessel could be
distinctly heard by those on shore sending
thrill OF pain to every heart, and making the
scene one never to be forgotten. Shortly af-
ter pieces of the wreck could be seen aud
every one knew that the fate of the steamer
was scaled. Dat Of 63 souls on board ONLY
three were saved. 1t is to guard against such
disasters as these that harbor is wanted at
