Escape from Jail.-Two of the desper

vile burglar and one of the villains who is
charged with making the assault upon
Jacob Billinger--made their escape from
Jail, on Friday afternoon last. As Henry
Brandt, the turnkey opened the door lead
ing into the corridor of the prison, he was
knocked down by the prisoners, when they
passed out of the door and ran in the di-
rection of Louck's mill. Albert Keach and
Emanuel Bear, teamsters at the almshouse,
happening to see them, procured a double
barrelled gun and pursued them. They
overlook them just as they were about
to cross the creek near Louck's mill.
They would doubtless have swan the
stream, had they not been afraid Of re-
ceiving the contents of the gun, which had
already been drawn up to fire upon them,
in case they had not submitted. With the
assistance Of a number of other persons in.
the vicinity, who had gone in pursuit of
them they were brought back and safely
lodged in jail York Press t

DIR. Berkley, formerly resident Of this
borough, died few days since quite sud
denly, at Altoona. His death is supposed
to have resulted from too free use of Nor
phine. At the time of his death, the DIR.
was in poor circumstances, but sufficient
means were found among his effects to pay
his funeral expenses. His wife, who was
telegraphed to, declined to come for his
body, as she said she was not able to bear
the expenses, and had been divorced from
him.

The Counterfeit Money Circulars.-The
recent arrest Of the scamps who foo ded
the country with circulars offering TO fur.
nish counterfeits of U. S. bills, has devel-
oped the fact that it was one of the mo st
extensive swindles ever attempted. In
searching the premises occupied by the ras-
calls, over ten thousand letters were found
coming from every section of the U. S.
The ". Y. Sun has been publishing somo
of the letters found, and among the would
be scoundrels desiring to circulate counter
felt money, was one member of Congress.
Perry county is also represented among the
fools, one Of the letters found being from
Montgomery's Ferry, Pa. The magnitude
of the business done by these fellows may
be imagined when we state that theirbooks
showed the receipts for a single day to be
over $1,000. They were discharged after
hearing, there being no charge upon which
the justice could them, as they had never
sent anything in answer to their CORE
spondents except wood or sawdust. OF
course, they will still continue to send their
circulars as long as there are fools enough
in the world to make it profitable, and we
again warn our readers against remitting
any money in answer to these crcuars.-
They are sent out over several different
names, and they use various styles Of cir
culars to suit the locality.

A ScOundrei Caged.-Thc Lancaster In
telligencer says that the barn of Thos A.
Clark Drumore township, was set on fire
on Sunday night last and destroyed, to-
gether with all its contents, consisting of
two mules, one horse, one heifer, the entire
crop Of grain and hay and many farming
implements. 1t appears that shortly after
the fire was discovered, it was asoertained
that one of the horses had been stolen and
ridden off by the incendiary. Parties at
once started in pursuit and succeed in cap
turing the thief near the Maryland line He
was taken to Lancaster and after hearing
before the Alderman, was confined in the
county Jail. When placed in his cell, the
keeper noticed the prisoner vigorously
chewing something and upon examination,
it was found to be almost q gard Of safety
fuse, which he was endeavoring to swallow
to conceal his guilt. A six shooting revol-
yer, five of the chambers loaded, and sever
al boxes of matches were also found on his
person.
