ATTEMPT TO BREAK Enthusiastically
morning Sheriff Forwood's attention was at.
tractcd by some unusual noise in one of the
cells on the lower floor of the Jail, and
upon careful inspection of the same he
found that hole large enough for man to
pass through had been made in the wall be-
tween two of the cells-the orifce being neat.
ly concealed by newspapers. The Sheriff also
discovered that the lock of one of the cells
had been tempered with, by one of the pris-
oners, and was nearly ready to permit the
free access of the prisoners of two cells-four
in number-to the hall of the Jail, from which
escape would be comparatively easy.
prisoner named Washington, in Jail with
a companion, Smith, for stealing pair of
mules from Mr.. Edward Hall, of Havre dc
Garce, confessed to having made the attempt
to escape.
The instruments he used to make the hole
in the wall were a short piece of hoop iron
and stick of wood. With these he succeed
ed in picking hole through three feet of SOL
id stone wall, and would no doubt ultimately
have made his escape.
FARMING IN HARFoRD.-A correspondent
of the Oxford Press gives the following ac-
count of the operations of Hartford county
farmer:
The notable farmer, VIM. Woolsey, of Har-
ford county, Md, known to some of the lead
ing farmers in your parts, told the subscriber
that his field of corn of about 90 acres will
turn out this year from 90 to 100 bushels per
| acre that he has not for the last fifteen
years raised less than rs bushels per acre.
He was one of the first to use bone in this
country. | asked him how much we ought
to put on. He said a poor man ought to put
on q ton to the acre, and rich man what
he pleased, signifying the poor man needed
to make money. l asked him now much he
was going to put on that piece of ground be-
fore us for wheat. He said he had put on q
half ton lost year; that he would not put on
so much this year. He had ploughed it up
because the grass did not take properly. He
| feeds about 100 head of cattle-feeds all the
corn he raises. IIauls the manure out on
the grass the year before he plows for corn
His barn is nicely fixed, so that one man
tends to all the cattle in winter. When saw
him he was hauling out some salt to put on
some of the Canada thistles that had come
up on his farm

A report was current here yesterday that
the banks of Baltimore city had suspended
payment. Deposits, however, were received
as usual, and chicks presented, if good, were
certified, but no payments were made. The
measure is supposed to be merely precau-
tionary one, to prevent rush of depositors

The Brandon Fire.

We publish, herewith, q communication
forwarded to us by a most respectable
citizen of Brandon, which may have bear
ing on the closing paragraph of an article
in our editorial columns:
BRANDON, Oct. Z, 1878.
Editor Of Rutland Globe In the state
ment of the Brandon Fire Department, in
your paper of this morning, 1t is announced
that after the fire company made an effort
to throw water on Simonds' block, "they
then went back to the hollow, where they
did great service in saving the mill, Briggs
shop and the foundry" Now it is evident
that the writer of the above communica-
ton (who is fire warden) is entirely pre-
JUDGED one acay, and that icay is with the
power who controlled the fire company on
Saturday evening, to give direction to the
firemen only one way. 1t is well known
in Brandon, not only by our "best citizens"
but by the fire company themselves, that
they did not throw water on the mill, that
they did not throw water on Briggs shop,
and that they did not throw water on the
foundry, but did try to throw water from
the hollow up onto part of the burning
building.
We do not think here in Brandon that
the fire company are to blame, nor that
your article of yesterday morning reflected
severely or at all on them, but your article
was just and true, and does as it was de-
signed, reflect on the "fire wardens," for
their inelllciency, in aiding and giving di-
rections to the tiremcn, instead of causing
some blunders, which ought to have been
avoided. There is another thing to be
looked at, all the men composing the fire
company, are employees of the Brandon
Scale Company, and it would not be strange
if some of them at least felt more inclined
to obey orders from that direction than for
the general good. For this we do not
them, nor reproach them, only speak of il
as one of the things that have its influence.
