Attempt to Break Jail.

An attempt has been made to break the
kennebec Jail in this city, by Greenlief Ar
mold and Otis Haskell of Augusta, and Geo.
Mack and Fred Roderick of Skowhegan.
These prisoners are in Jail awaiting trial at
the August term of the Supreme Judicial
Court-Roderick and Mack for breaking open
a store In Clinton, Haskell for robbing house
In Belgrade, and Arnold for having in his
possession jewelry taken from house that
was entered In Albion. Sheriff Thompson
had been absent in the country three or four
days, and it was probably during his absence
that tie preliminaries for breaking Jail were
effected. He returned Saturday afternoon,
and while standing in the south door under
the kitchen, heard grating, scraping noise,
similar to that produced by saving iron. Mr..
Sewall, the turnkey, had stepped out for
few moments. Mr.. Thompson crept up
stairs, opened the door of the Jail Office, and
az he did SO saw Roderick dodge suddenly
back from the wicket, where he had been on
the lookout Arnold was alarmed and sud-
denly turned round from a window, and was
seen to slip something into his pocket. No
apparent notice was taken of these move
ments, the design being on the part Of the
Sheriff to catch them while at work on their
Job. One of the heavy bars at the south win
dow had been sawn nearly off, and by prying
could be so adjusted as 10 allow man to
crawl through, shove up the window, and
pass out. A mirror hung over the bar that
had been operated upon, ami the imperfec
ton was concealed by putty, and was only
detected after diligent search. 1t was ascer-
tanned with considerable accuracy that the
hour fixed upon by the prisoners for their
new departure" was on Monday morning,
while the circus band was passing by, and the
public attention attracted in that direction.
But the prisoners were cunning enough to
mistrust that their matured plans had leaked
out, and the inal dash was not attempted, as
laid down in the programme. Arnold, the
master head and lister workman in the tran
saction, was made to disgorge on Monday
afternoon, modestly and very humbly passing
over two saws made from case knives, and
couple of files some six inches in length, but
not word out OF his mouth by way of con-
fession. The detection of their little game
has deprived these confederates of many lit
tie privileges and liberties they enjoyed while
they behaved themselves. The tools were
possibly brought to Arnold by his wife, who
has visited him in jail.

NirALlzE THE HAIR.-Why does the hair
become harsh and dry-why does it become
gray? Simply because the life has gone ou,
of it. The 1ibers draw sustenance from the
scalp as the grass draws aliment from the soil,
and when the supply of nutriment is cut off in
either case the product withers and dies. A,
the first symptom of decay, therefore, the I'M
fed or half-fed roots of the hair should be re-
freshe and reinforced with LYON $ KATHAIRoN
the only preparation which will nsurish the
filaments and keep them in vigorous condi-
ton after they have begun to suffer from a
deficiency of their natural s,imulant. As
long as the kathairon is faithfully used, with
a proper degree of friction, morning and ev-
ening, so long will it be impossible for the
lair to whiten or fall out from the scalp.

\ lively sensation was created in the House
this morning by bold protest from Tom

adjournment of Parliament for the Derby
dav which occurs to morrow.
Mr.. Gladstone moved that the House ad-
journ until Thursday.
MIR. Hughes in rising to oppose the motion
was received with ironical cheers and laugh
ter. He pointed to the fact that the House
adjourned only two hours on Ascension day,
divine worship, and now proposed to adjourn
"a hours for the Derby. Itwas Incompatible
with the dignity of the House of Commons to
recognize horse racing. The English race
course had introduced the most corrupt AID
insidious system of gambling which bad ever
dsgraced any country. While he was OPP
posed to this species of amusement. he be-
iieved in manly sports, like international

More Than 40 Fishing Vessels Lost
Near Lahrador--4ooo Men Missing.

The New York Times publishes the follow.
ing particulars Of recent losses Of Ashhg
vessels in the ice of Labrador and New.
foundland, to which We have already had
some allusion by telegraph:
"Over 40 vessels including 4 steamships,
have been heard from as total wrecks, hav.
ing dashed to pieces while amid huge ice
burgs and plains of ice during > terrible hur-
ricanes. On an average each Of these vessels
carried about one hundred men, employed Is
seal hunters, and out of those 1000 human
| souls only rs have been accounted for. The
large majority of these unfortunates have
left families behind. exclusively dependent on
their support.
Many others have not yet been heard from,
but all those recounted above were totally
wrecked and crews have not been accounted
for except in very rare instance. and the few
who were saved could not give any definite
intelligence of those they left behind.
During the night Of the loss of the Re-
triever rs sail of vessels were hemmed in by
high boulders and bergs of ice over which
tremendous seas dashed high and wild, 80
that it was impossible at times to discover
the islands, and charge after charge of un-
governable ships against the mighty barriers
soon cleft the bows and bulwarks assunder,
and consigned many stalwart forms and brave
hearts to a watery grave.
While this fleet lay to as a last effort to
survive the wild 81 northeastern hurricane,
many of the tossing crafts cut down each
other. One fearful instance is recorded
where a vessel was driven on an iceburR by q
large sea and fell back with mighty crash
on the brig Twin Sisters" which lay be-
meath the iceberg.
A large number of men were instantly
literally burst in two. The rest, only Is out

presented itself to those on board the only
survivor of the feet of sixteen, the Retriever,
cannot possibly be described. The ice had
wedged in the space intervening between the
position of the vessel and the shore. Upon
the rudely heaped boulders and fakes of ice
were strewn masts. yards, rigging, clothing
