WHOLESALE JAN DELIyERY.--No Not here,
but at De Witt on Sunday night lot OF
seven prisoners made good their escape
from jail, and are now at large Their
names are William Caslsnd, Vim. Clancy,
James Ormsby, John Burns, alias Bradley,
and two others, by the name of Spencer and
Reed. A liberal reward is offered for the
recovery of all or any of them by Thos. G.
Ferreby, sheriff of that county. The Clinton
county jail is q very weak affair, from which
it is deemed no special honor TO make an
escape. The only wonder is that any prls
oner is kept over night against his will, for
TO roll out of bed is equivalent to rolling out
