INGENIOUS ESCAPE FROM PRISON.
James A. Hamilton's recent escape from a
Pennsylvania prison is the most marvel
lous rogue's work on record. Hamilton
was an old prison bird and one of the most
dangerous convicts in the Lancaster pris-
on. Assigned to n solitary "iron- clad"
CELL he was set to work at shoemaking.
Some time ago he complained that his
bench was too low, and asked for conple
of short pine planks to put under the legs
to raise them a few inches. For weeks he
worked under these boards at night, cut u.
ting a hole through the floor and in the
day covered his tracks with the boards.
Having cut through the floor he reached
solid masonry, and worked upon that with
such success that eventually enough was
removed to admit the passage of his body.
Having cleared the mason work to a space
a foot thick and about three feet broad, he
attacked the solid prison wall from his
narrow crevice under the floor, and al
though it was three feet thick, he made a
breach and passed safely through, and let
himself down two stories by a very thin
but exceedingly stout shoe-thread. Break
ing into the wash-house and carpenter shop
he procured change of clothes and lum-
Der to construct ladder with which to
pass over the Jail yard wall. The ladder is
a model of ingenuity. None of the lumber
was stout enough to make the sides, so he
dashed several slender pieces together with
BEDFORD, and tied broken barrel slaves
across for rounds. With this the prisoner
found his way to freedom. Early Sunday
morning his flight was discovered. In his
cell fully cart load of debris was found
carefully stored under his bed, the Stats of
which were cut in half and bored at regu-
lar distances to make ladder, which, how
| ever, he had been unable to get through
the peculiarly shaped hole by which he had

1t is related of a clergyman in northern
Vermont, who years ago made visit to
New York, and was invited to fill a city
pulpit during the time of dog day pastoral
vacations; that he never had the pleasure
of listening to a church organ, and was to-
tally unacquainted with the fashion of hir-
ing few vocalists TO do the singing for the
congregation. Giving out the first hymn,
tho organist played a fancy prelude, and in
dered the four verses. Addressing the
throne of grace in fervent invocation,
which stamped him as a man of intellect
and power with his audience, he coolly re-
opened the hymn-book, and turning TO a
page, exclaimed; "The audience will now
Join with me in singing a good old Metho-
dist hymn, and those persons running that
