TOM BALLARD.
HIS ESCAPE AND RE-ARREsT.

HIS ESCAPE AND RE-ARREST.
The following statement in regard to Tom Bal
lard's escape from the Auburn penitentiary, his
capture and return, is from superior sources OF
information. He was arrested at Buffalo on the
9th Of October last, having in his possesylon a
large quantity OF counterfeit money, twent y-three
plates and presses for manufacturing It, and a
plate for making counterfeit notes on TIE British
Bank Of North America. He was con Ined at Au-
burn, and his trial set for the 2lst or November,
but he had his case eOntt0ued for u.ial at Albany
in January. Last Saturday night he bored
through two floors with augIrs and escaped 70
the roof of the penitentiRry, and by means Of
ropes let himself down to the ground. He was
Immediately pursued, and at Homer, New York,
yesterday morning, he was recaptured, taken
back to Auburn, and put in close confinement
There is a striking coincidence in this escape
of his and the escape he made from LudloW-street
Jail in 1871 1t was by the same means, and the
Instruments for doing 1t were undoubtedly far
nished by the same parties. he is considered
more dangerous man as q counterfeiter than any
one hundred Of the fraternity combined, hence
the great importance alta ched in the first instance
TO his capture at Buffalo and the sensation created
by his nearly successful attempt to get of with
out-fue process Of law this time.
The secret service, under Mr.. Wsshburne, is
doing fine service in behalf Of the integrity ef the
currency and bonds OF the United States. Since
his short administration thirty-hVe notorious
counterfeiters have been arrested, and are now
awaiting trial With them has been captured
100000 in money and United States bonds, and
many OF the costly implements Of the counterfeit
'ers' business.
The Ballard family are a bad set. Besides the
accomplished villain Tom, his aunt and sister-in-
law are in Jail at Auburn, awaiting trial for
manufacturing counterfeit money. Ben Ballard
terfeit money. John Ballard is a retired "coney''
man, living on a farm in Wisconsin. George
Ballard, an expert photographer of bank notes, is
now being sought for by the secret service officers
with every prospect that he will soon be earning
an honest living in jail. Besides his family con-
necuOns, Tom Ballard has an army of retainers,
who will do everything possible TO rescue their
notorious chief from the clutches Of the law.

Music has not the charms for the Watts family
that 1t used to have. The other night, just IS the

that 1t was Jack Seeley.
Mr.. Watts imagined that deputation had
come to appoint HIM leader of party. Trembling

around his unprotected limbs. he told his wife TO
get ready to illuminate, and hurried to the front
window to behold solitary figure seated on the
doorstep and saving away on an instrument, evil

JEFFERSON SCHOOL BUILDING.
A HAPPY TINE BETWEEN TEACHERS

A HAPPY TIME BETWEEN TEACHERS
AND PUPILS.
The Jefferson school building, in the Fourth
public school district, was yesterday afternoon
the scene of happy and interesting exercises. 1t
has been the custom of the scholars in the differ
ent schools at the close of each year to present
their teachers with testimonial Of their regard
and affection.
Yesterday was the anniversary Of this auspi-
cious event, and after school hours the pupils of
the different departments assembled in the large
hall and met their instructors, where the presen-
tations took place. Many Of the articles were
rich and costly, and the pleasing, Joyous counte-
nances of both teachers and pupils over the be-
stOWal and reception Of the gifts showed that
HaVenner, the accomplished music teacher, and
a universal favorite with the scholars, received a
handsome silver stand for Derfumery and jewel
~. Mrs. Martin, preceptress of the Female
Grammar school, o unique and solid silver cake
basket. Miss Tunnel, the able snb-assistant in
the same school, received gold pin, with chain
attached. Mr.. John L. Thompson, teacher of
the Male Grammar school and superintendent of
the Fourth district, beautifully designed and
costly silver coffee urn. Mr.. E. H. Thompson,
subassstant in the same department, q silver
butter dish. Mrs. Bowen, teacher OF Third Inter-
mediate, silver card case. Mrs. Wise, teacher
Of First Female intermediate; Miss Van Horn,
Of the Second Female intermediate; Miss Den
mis- Of First Male intermediate, and others, re-
pupils. The hall was crowded with children, all
interested in what was transprinR, and listening
to the presentation speeches and replies. Take
the occasion as a whole, it can certainly be said
that it was one of the most enjoyable that has
ever transpired in the Fourth district.
