Escape of Prisoners.

On "Wednesday last, through the
criminal carelessness of Yves. Pow
ell, keeper of the county Jail, four
prisoners, all dangerous characters,
escaped, three of them making good
their fight to parts unknown. Hal.
Magruder, charged with murder,
having been confined about ten
months, was unable to run, and was
found concealed in the graveyard.
He surrendered very willingly, and
on re-entering the jail he remarked
that . he would have to wait for
another time" The other three
men were Robert Harris (white),
charged with murder; Geo. Pannell,
(cold) mule stealing; and Nose
Johnson with burglary. Hal. Ma
gruder states that the jailer, on leav-
ing the Jail, dropped the cell keys
at the door of Il cell occupied by
Crazy Ann, where he left them. As
soon us he had gone, she reached
the keys and threw them to Geo.
PannelI. in the cell beneath her own.
He quickly unlocked bis Ow ii door,
and liberated the other three men. !
The outer door was only hooked,
and striking it with a large log of
wood, which happened to be in the
jail, it flew open, and they were
g free to roam" Hal. MaSruder's
EGGS were too stiff to run aud SO he
was lett to tell the story. The proof
against Harris was conclusive, and
We would probably have had a big

hat the prisoners had escaped,

Hot Weather and Oils.

The thermometer says the tenn
perature now varies from 80 to 1000
in the shade. Probably few per
sons are aware that it is at that
temperature that ordinary coal oil
reaches what is called its flash
ing" or dangerous point. Persons
can have their fears allayed, by
burning the Headlight Oil, which is
as about safe as lard or sperm oil.
It burns with the ordinary coal oil
burner, burns one-third longer than
coal oil, and costs seventy five cts.
per gsllon-which makes it safer
and cheaper than coal oil. 1t can
be found at N. G. Orrick's, No. II

WEATHER AND CROPS.--The
weather, though we have some very
sultry hours during the day, is
more pleasant than usual at this
season of the year, the heat and
sultriness being relieved by pleas
ant breezes.
We learn from some of our farm
ing friends that the crops of both
corn and cotton are doing very well
indeed, are better than last year,
at same time.
Altogether, things look hopeful,
though the dull season has set in,
in dead earnest, and the merchants
complain of no business, and we all
complain of no money.
