missing from Cincinnati, has been found in
the river. 1t seems that, after separating

st. Louis has inaugurated a reform among
the drinking saloons of that city, by the en-
forcement of an ordinance which stipulates
that no application for a dram-shop license
shall be granted unless it is accompanied
by a petition signed by a majority of the
taxpaying citizens in the block where it is
proposed to locate the establishment. 1t is
found that the lowest class of d~ram-shops
are unable to obtain the approval of their
neighb ors, and the result of this has been
that some of the lowest lens in the city
have been closed.

escape from the Jail of this County.
Their escape was effected with small

destinely furnished, and with which they
broke the lock to trap-door, through
which they gained access to the roof of
the Jail and cut through. This being
done. they made ropo Of blankets and
reached the ground in safety. Sheriff
Dewberry, when he discovered the pri-
sonors had made their exit. caused pur-
suit to be made. Thomas II. Doyle was
overtaken about fifteen miles from town
and brought back to JUL. Tho other
two have not been heard from. We
learn that the Jail was guarded by a de-
tail Of United States soldiers. Doyle
and Barline arc the soldiers who were
charged with the robbery of Smith, their
sutler, which took place some weeks ago
in the camp If the garrison at this place.
One Of the prisoners, who is charged
with being n Ku Klux, without attempt
ing to make his escape, Us he might have
done, called the sheriff aud informed
him thut these prisoners had escaped.
