ESCAPE OF IRWIN THE BURGLAR. Outside
friends aided Irwin the burglar to escape from
the Raymond street jalin New York. He
had by some means become possessed of an in
strument with which he tore out portion of
the plastering and lath work of the wall of the
retiring room, adjoining his cell, and made
hole about foot square, through which be
crowded into the adjoining debtors room,
which was unoccupied. He then proceeded to
the door leading to the corridor which, fortu-
nately for him, had been left unlocked, though
it had been fastened. Irwin would have ex.
perienced little or no trouble in making a hole
in the thin partition which separated the room
from the corridor. Once in the corridor, Ir-
win found it easy to escape. He quietly de-
scended the stairway to the lower corridor
within twenty feet OF the keepers rooms and
dozen feet from the front jail, and proceeding
along the corridor opened window and de-
scended another stairway and was in the Jail
yard. Then he coolly walked to the gate, pried
off the lock and staple and was a free man.

DISASTER AT sEA.-The steamship Cuba,
from New Orleans to Baltimore, the 23d inst.
about 12O miles east of Charleston, saw her,
maphrodite brig nearly abeam steering north
east. Shortly after the brig suddenly changed
her direction and came down stem on to the
Cuba, striking nearly amidships, the bowsprit
making large hole in the port side near the
upper deck and the stern taking the steamer
further aft crushed in plank above the water
line, tearing off the copper and making large
opening just under water. The steamer was
in sinking condition, the water coming in
rapidly and at one time reaching nearly to the
fires, but by great efforts the ship was imme di-
ately given list. blankets and everything
day the ship was placed in condition to make
the harbor. The name and the condition of the
brig are unknown as nothing was heard from
her, but she was seen after the accident with
her D1asts standing and canvass hoisted.

Paris has followed the example of Sedan
S,rasbourg and Metz and fallen before the as
saults of the victorious Germans, and with
her surrender The war has ended Although
the result has long been anticipated; the daily
laports from the city and the encircins armies
bave gradually increased the conviction OF the
hnal triumph of the Germap emperor, the
pews at last breaks upon the American peo-
ple with an affect that is almost startling
The history OF this short war is almost incom.
prehensib;e. From the day when the Ger
man army crossed the Rhine, the conflict has
been one continued triumph for the invaders,
varied with scarcely an exceptional reverse.-
Paris, enclosed first by strong military wall,
strengthened by outside entrenchments, lu-
nettes and redoubts, and next by an exterior
circle Of the strongest modern Notifications
with the city itself and its defences occupied
by three hundred Thousand fighting men, has
been held so closely in the grasp of Germany
as to fail in every attemptto free itself; and
with every outside movement for its relief by
provincial armies Of three hundred and fifty
thousand men, It has surrendered and the
government has submitted to the most hu-
initiating terms ever imposed on a nation.
France presents most melancholy spectacle
for with the surrender the Republic dies, and
Ehe dynasty that was driven forth by the pop
ular will few months ago is to be re-estab-
lished by foreign bayonets; and though slight
iy changed in form, it will be the same in
fact, and doubly oppressive aud tyrannical.-
The rapid and terrible change in the condition
Of France suggests many questions; among
them an inquiry into the cause of the ill-suc
cess OF the French arms; why this decadence
as power since the time of the first Napole
on, and that Prussia has been growing and
developing as military nation and particu
larly In that most important element o

fooR DEBTORS ORGAN.-It appears that
All oroer has been passed in the House in Au-
gusta' directing the Committee on Judiciary
70 inquire IL any legislation is necessary to de-
fine the rights of poor debtors. This lust
meets the case. Gross imposition is often
practlsed upon honest debtors simply because
their tights are not defined with suffic;ent
precision. This usually happens in the nreN
liminary proceedings before an examination
into the merits is reached. To have the rights
of debtors defined would not, we believe
place the poor creditor in worse condition
than now, though "Lex" and his profession
generally would make less out of both.

We promised in our last to show up the
mining interests of this place. We have
not had the opportunity necessary for 8
thorough examination of the mines as we
had hoped. We shall however, at some
future day, pay more attention to this par
ticular branch of business so vital to this
place. ..t
Highland has been, and is still, the prin
cipal mining station in Iowa county, and
here can be found some of the best paying
mines in South western Wisconsin,
Among the most noted are those owned by
J. Rowe & Co., Nondorf & Knoll, P. Nc
CURE & Co., G. G. David, Delaney, Will
liams, Edwards, Spensley Imhoff & Co.
All the above firms arc doing good bust
ness in mining. The minerals are said tc
be better than they have been for the Last
eighteen years. Laborers are in good de-
mand at fair wages.
Many improvements have been made ir
the village of Highland during the pas
two years. The most prominent at the
present time is the grading and repairing
of the Main street, and if the completion
is in accordance with the plan proposed
their main street will compare favorably
with the streets of any other village in the
county.
We had often heard Of Highland as be
ing hard place, and we were partially
prepared to see some outlandish thing
done, but we have thus far failed to see it
i Everything was in order and proper as III
other villages we have visited, and we car
say, that in all our rambles through the
county our lot has not been cast among
more peaceable, sober, social people thar
we found at this place.
Highland contains four churches-one
German Catholic, one Irish Catholic, one
Lutheran, and one Methodist. The Ger
man church is one of the finest buildings
in the western part of the State the Irish
church is not SO large or so grand, but an
other one is in process of erection. It il
to be built of fine cut stone, The ceremo
ny of laying the corner stone was perform
ed last Sabbath. When finished, this
church will be beautiful ornament to the
village.
This place is not behind its neighbors
in the important matter Of schools. The
people have erected one of the largest
school houses in the county about two
years ago, and now it is we'll filed with
scholars, aid is under the supervision q
the sisters.
