REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM JAIL.-Samtcl
Ferris, one Of the parties who robbed the
Grafton bank in October, 1870, escaped from
iail in Worcester, Mass, some time during
Friday night or early on Saturday morning,
and is now at large. He got out Of his cell,
on the west side Of the north wing Of the
county house, by sawin. off two Of the iron
bars, one inch thick, guarding the window,
thus obtaining access to the pass;se-way,
from which u staircase leads to the corridor.
From this he forced IN entrance to the Wo-
mems work-room, occupying the fourth story
of the north wing of the building, by break
ing or picking the common lock which
fastened the door, carrying the blankets OF
his bed with him. From one Of the north
windows Of this room, guarded with per-
pcndictllar iron bars III inch and half i'll
diameter set five inches apart and
braced by transverse bars set two feet
from each other, the prisoner made his escape
by novel method, for which it would seem
he had ingeniously prepared himself by out
side cooperation, the arrangements for which
had been planned some time previous. Ii Is
supposed that his wife, who had been allowed
weekly interviews with him, the last time she
saw him being only the day previous to the
escape, must have been an organ of COMMUNE
cation with other parties outside engaged in
the planning and execution of the details Of
the affair. 1t appears that the prisoner had
been supplied with slender cotton-string,
which he let down to the ground from the
north window aforesaid, and drew up Il three
quarter inch rope, knottcd every six or eight
inches, and with this rope drew up Il jack
screw, alerer, and jimmy, al carefully sewed
up in black cambria. Placing the base Of the
screw against the side Of the casing Of the
window, he forced one of The upright iron
bars to one side three inches, thus making an
opening eight inches wide and Two feet high.

LOYALTY AND THE GossIrs.-Ne,u York.
Aprll "a London letter says that the OIL
Jcct OF the visit of the queen to Germany,
though ostensibly to see her half sister,
Princess llohcnlohe LanScnbcrg, was really
to hush up IL scandal which threatens the
royal family. The story is that Prince Teck.
son of Prince Alexander, of Wurtcmburg,
ha> been accompanied in his late travels by a
wcll-known London actress that the Prill-
cess Tcck, Princess Mary. of Cambridge,
who was born in 1893, and who is four years
the senior Of her husband, is so cnlaged
thereby that she is about to apply for di-
vorcr, to prevent which her Majesty went to
Hlueu.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
UrrER JAMES RIVER, NA..}
April s, 1872.
NcSsys. Editors: We are gradually coming
out of the torpid state on the Upper James,
and If the weather continues mild and plea
SAINT everything will soon be moving in a
lively manner. The farmers are bestirring
Themselves to get their plou"hin@ done.
The winter afforded very little season fer
breaking up, and the consequence is the
work Of the farm is little bchndhand.
The wheat is somewhat injured from expo
sure to freezing. 1t was not covered with
snow during the greater part of our worst
weather. We will not know the extent OF
the injury until the spring is more adj
Vanccd.
our tobacco crop will be larger this season
than usual. More of our farmers are turn
ing their attention to the crop, and the prep
arutions are greater on the part Of all.
Interviews with persons who pretend to
know something OF the plans of the Dircc-
tors have revived our tagging hopes Of the
Straioht-Shoot railroad from Clifton Forge.
An enthusiastic friend so clearly dcmon-
strltcd to lis few days ago the necessity and
certainty Of the road that we have felt happy
ever since. If we only had 80 potato patch .
secured on both routes, and felt a certainty
of being hit, 40 matter which of the pros
pcctcd routes the engineers determined on,
our happiness would he complete. But Il
little doubt makes your friend anxious and
mars his happiness. QCoNDAM.
PAY REDuCED.--The emoluments of the
Commissioner of the Revenue were consider
ably shorn. For several years past this officer
has gotten between $1,000 and $4,000 per
annum, the exact figure no one knows, rs 1t
is nobody's business to find OFT, but it APP
pears from the statement Of the State Audi
tor that he drew tor percentage on assess
mCntS last year from that source about $3.50.
4 like statement from the City Treasurer
shows TINT he drew from that source, for
similar services, Sl,200-total, >, 100. Then
there were the transfers (about one thou
