THE Conservative heads its column Of
election returns with the following fam.
ing announcement: "Our entire ticket
elected with the exception of Farr and
Poor" The candidates named will be
amazed to learn, first, that they were on
"our" ticket, and second, that they are
excepted in the list Of candidates cleo
ted. The rhetoric of our contemporary
is none too clear at any time, but the
election seems to have jumbled it up fear
fully.

FIRE AT BRANDoN.-A story and a
half house, owned and occupied by Mich.
olas Albert, at Brandon, in this county,
took fire from defective flue last Mon
day about noon, while the family were
at dinner. Before the flames were dis
covered, they had made such Roadway
that, despite the efforts of the neighbors,
it was found impossible to extinguish
them, and the house was entirely con.
sumed. The contents of the lower rooms
were removed, but nothing was saved
from the upper story. The loss is esti-
mated at $500, upon which was no in
surance.

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS Sunday
evening, about half past seven o'clock
our citizens were startled by short,
sharp alarm from the town bell. Rush
ing to the street they found, not fire,
but a hurried summons to spread out and
recapture, if possible, three prisoners
who had just escaped from the jail The
rascals who had thus gained their liberty
were the two Wrights. whose crime has
been detailed in our columns, and pick
pocket named Dunn, and the manner Of
their escape was as follows: A younger
brother of the Sheriff, Mr. Farr, has per-
formed the duty of furnishing the prison
ers with food, coal, &C., for this purpose
opening the door which leads from the
residence to the Jail proper. 1t has been
his practice when doing this to compel
the prisoners to retire to the part of the
lil re hottest from the door. On this oc-
casion he looked in and saw two of them
at the other side of the room, and sup
posed that the other (the elder Wright)
was in his cell, as he often was on such
occasions. He therefore swung the Jail
door open without hesitation, and had
just set the bucket of coal upon floor,
when he received full in his face ter
rife blow from Dan Wright, who had
posted himself behind the door for that
purpose. Young Farr was knocked
clear off his feet, but full of pluck, and
with the blood streaming from his face,
he rose and went for Wright again, only
to be felled second time with tremen-
dous blow from the ruflian. Rising the
second time, he sliced Wright by the
collar just as the latter had got through
the Jail door, and was dragging him back,
when the younger Wright came up, and,
by blow in the neck, doubled him up
the third time. Before he could regain
his feet, all three of the Williams had
passed the door and making their way
through the honse, escaped to the open
air. They left in a northerly direction,
and have not been seen or heard from
since, although Sheriff Farr and others
spent the whole night seeking them. We
do rot see that blame can be in justice
attached to the Sheriff for this escape
The faulty construction of the Jail, in
having but one door intervening between
it and the dwelling, makes occurrences
like this possible, and the only way nov
to guard against it, is to have as man!
officers present as there are prisoners
upon each opening of the door, whicl
plan is not always practicable or possible

tied Romance of Old Cour, Life in France,"
by Frances Elliot. The opening chapters of
this work are laid in the sixteenth century,
when the power of Europe was divided be-
tween Henry VIII of England Charles v
of Austria, and Francis /. OF France, and the
closing chapter relates the death of Louis
XIV. OF France. The period covered is one
fall Of intrigue and scandal, t.le acts of iisso-

courts, that corrupted the life Of the uation.

Of these characters and times that the present

One o! the books issued by ID. Appleton \
60. that will most engage the attention OF
thinkers is work upon ''Mind and Body
examining the theories of their relation. The
author is Alexander Balm, l.. l.. d. Professor
OF Logic in the Uuiyessity of Aberdeen. His
process Of asccrtaining the relations ofahe
mind and brain is to study the operations of
the organs of sense and motion, and the ncr-
vous system with which they communicate.
and find hoW, the brain is affected, and from
such knowledge as he obtains in this way he
forms his conclusions. He holds that mind
and matter are two substances, one inmate
rial the other material, 5u. so intimately re.
lated that it is difficult to make the division.
He agrees with the Aristotelian theory. re-
Jec!ing that of the most of the Grecian phil.
osophers, who believed tha. mind and matter
were two material substances also that of the
Maerialists, who believe they are but one
substance, Horace North will supply any of
the above books.
We have from d. Appleton < Co., "Driven
from the Path, novel By DR.. Charles Smart
1t purports to be story OF the life of one Lew
! Gordon. The author disclaims any intention
to make his tale sensational, but the reader
can judge whether he has kept his purpose or
not. 1t is not a tame book at any rate.
The same publishers issue another novel
entitled s.Miriam Montport," by the author of
''The Household Of Bouverie.' An interest
! ing work, sure to find readers.
| Lee & Shepard publish "Ilis Marriage
! Vow" by Mrs. Corbn. Whether the author
has promoted morality in this volume is a
question that will admit OF controversy. The
hero Of her story married girl unfortunately
crippled for life, whom he swore to love as
long as he lived, although she was an incura-
BILE invalid. For several years he kept his
vow, and then came temptation in the shape
of another loveabe woman, with whom if his
relations were not criminal, they we're not
such as the world holds proper, although we
believe Mrs. Corbin thinks they were some
thing angelic. The end was that the invalid
wife died and the other succeeded her. Per-
haps if Mrs. Corbin could place herself jus'
in the situation of the crippled wife, her ad-
miration for the husband and his second love
would not be SO profound as it appears to be.
