For some two years there has been confined
at prison a covict named Frank A. Goodell.-
Since the remodeling Of the prison Goodell,
who is graduate OF the Syracuse Polytechnic
College and first-rate architect has been set
to drafting plans and doing architect work gem
orally. This, Of course, gave HIM many addi-
tional privileges and relaxed the rigor of his
confinement. He had never manifested any
purpose Of abusing his liberty until yesterday
morning, when he arose at five o'clock, and
telling the gate-keeper he had some work to
finish before the men went to work, he was
passed through the gate. He obtained the cloth :
ing of recently received convict and departed.
His escape was discovered before he had been
absent long, and Mr.. Morris at once telegraphed
in all directions and ordered bills printed Offer
ing 800 reward. 1t is quite likely that these
prompt measures will result in a recapture. He
only had about a year tostay.-Jackson Patriot.

lection of prophecies which had been made

after its settlement, connecting the several

in reference to the result of the convention

documents in his possessions as we'll as to
any conversation which may have Leen had
in years past between himself and Mr..
Bcechcr or Mr.. Tilton. 1t is a very re-
markable fact provided it is fact, that
Frank Moulton should thus unbosom him
self in such extraordinary statements as
those alleged by Townsend to have been
made TO him by Moulton, Willie he has not
allowed his own father to see the letters,
nor has he stated to his father up to this
day either the substance Of any CONVERSE

any admission Of gull. by Bcecher In the
