Mis-, Chase,s sTarrIage.

Next Thursday the wedding OF Miss
Chase will be celebrated in the most elegant
manner. A large number of invitations
have been issued in the upper circles OF
Washington, and no doubt son1e of the
numerous friends OF Mrs. Sprague and
Miss Chase from other cities will come
here to attend the wedding. The ceremo-
ny will be performed at st. Johns church
at O'Clock Pm. The envelopes inclosing
invitations contain, first, an Invitation in
tho name Of Chief Justice Chase to be
present at the marriage of his daughter at
st. Johns Church, this is engraved on
note paper the invitation to the reception,
to take place from 8 to 5, Is on card, and
ia Issued in the name Of Mr.. and Mrs.
|Eprague; next are the cards Of Miss Chase
and Mr.. w. 8. Hoyt, which are not tied
together according to the custom hereto
fore, and lastly, there is card on which Is

card of admission to the church has been
Sent to guests invited to q wedding in

INGENIOUS EsCAPE.-The story Of the
recent escape of James A. Hamilton, one
of the oldest and most dangerous convicts
in the prison Mt Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
reads like q leaf from Dick Turpin's ex-
pioits. He was put at shoemaking in q
solitary cell but complaining that his bench
was too low, got sene planks to put under
it. Beneath these he cut hole through
the floor, working by night, and covering
the traces by day with the planks. Be
meath the floor was solid masonry, through
which, with wonderful persistence and
success, he made hole through which he
could pass, and then attacked the solid
prison wall from his narrow. crevice under
the floor, and, although it was three feet
thick, he made breach and passed safely
through, and let himself down two stories
by a very thin, but exceedingly stout shoe
thread. Breaking into the wash-house
and carpenter shop, he procured change
of clothes, and lumber to construct q lad
der with which to pass over the jail-yard
wall. The ladder is q model Of ingenuity.
None of the lumber was stout enough to
make the sides, so he lashed slender pieces
together with BEDFORD, and tied broken
barrel slaves across for rounds. -

Message from the Presiden

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The follow
Ing Message of the President was sent to
Congress to-day:
condition of affairs now exists in
some OF the States of the Union rendering
life and property insecure, and the carry
ing OF the mails and collection of revenue
dangerous. That such condition of af-
fairs exists In some localities is now before
the Senate. That the power to correct
these evils is beyond the control of the
State authorities, do doubt. That the
power of the Executive of the Tinted
States, acting within the limits of existing
laws, is sufficient for present emergencies
is not clear. Therefore, urgently recom-.
mend such legislation as, in the Judgment
of Congress, shall effectually secure life,
liberty and property, and the enforcement
of the law in ali parts of the United States.
1t may be expedient to provide that such

Atabout o'clock, p. n, Wednesday, smoke
was discovered coming from Mr. w. 7. Par
hams stable, and before the fire could be stop
ped the hay, roof, &C., were blazing up SO
rapidly that it was impossible to do anything,
only save other buildings nearest it and watch
it burn down. Itis remarkably strange how it
caught fire, the stable being locked and no one
having been in or near it for some time, and no
dwelling or other house with fire about them
being anywhere in reach. It seems that the
only possible chance for its taking IRE must
have been by some smoker passing by, and

disposed toward the commission they are
truly thankful that the Alabama claims
have never before been settled, for among
the Englishmen now here are several
young unmarried men, who are disposed
to seek out the attractive ladies and show
them much attention. Earl de Grey has
his son and heir Viscount Goderich, with
him, and there are three or four other
young gentlemen whose rank is not 80
high. Sir John Mcdonald is the only
married man belonging to the Commission
who has brought his wife with him. Lady
Mcdonald is quite tall and has very good
figure. Her face Is decidedly pleasing, If
not handsome her hair is quite dark, and
she wears it arranged with several long
curls on each side Of her .ehignon. She
dresses very simply, but English women
rarely dress with anything Ike the ex-
travagance to which we are accustomed.
Lady Mcdonald is English only by de-
scent, but Is of noble blood From. one
who knows her well have heard much of
her excellent characteristics. She is a
