JAIL DELIyEKY.-Jonathan Ingram,
indicted for assault with intent to com
NIT rape, in the County Court last
week, and confined in the county jail at
this place, made his escape threfrom, by
saving in two the hasp fastening the
door Of his cell, on Friday night last.
The saving was done with saws irnpro-
vised by hacking together two case,
knives, which he had adroitly managed
to abduct when furnished his meals.
Whilst regretting the general fact that
any prisoner should escape the clutches
of the law, we may with perfect safety,
we think, congratulate the county upon
the escape mentioned above. Inns man
Ingram is represented to have been an
Illinois Yankee soldier, whose boasts OF
having occupied the "guard-house
during the greater part of the war were
boldly and frequently made, and he is
reputed VIGOROUSLY bad character, and
the offence with which he is charged Is
not punishable by confnementin thepen-
itentiary, his sudden and we trust per
manent departure, may with truth be
termed a happy riddance.-Sp,rH.
S@- What in the name of common
sense does the above mean e.! This
startling announcement A prisoner
escapes from bran new County JAIL
(Which cost the taxpayers of Jefferson.
County thirty thousand dollars,) with
two case knives. This is certainly
hard case! 1t will be remembered
that committee appointed for the
purpose of examining this Jail, reported
it "condemned," and insecure and
that report is now too truly verified,
and proves conclusively that the COM
mittee of examination were men Of
sound judgment, and "knew whereof
they spoke" And yet, in the face Of
the report, parties Of that town heralded
forth that the new Jail was IS firm as
the Rocks of Gibraltar, and that all h.
could not sup trip" it. But this is not
all. Thirty thousand dollars of the
hard earnings of the taxpayers are ex-
pended in that Jail. What say you,
citizens of Jefferson Couuty-you who
till the soil for living, and earn your
.'bread by the sweat Of your brow Z
Unnecessary taxation was heaped upon
you in the building of this Jail, in the
first place, and yet, after all this expen-
diture, prisoner escapes by the use OF
two case kniues! Is this not an ex-
tremely hard case? Further comment
is unnecessary. We drop the curtalnln
disgust.
We do not wish to cast any refiec-
tions upon the worthy contractors,
Messrs. Holmes 81 Rust, who built the
jail They did their duty creditably
and honorably, according to specifca-
tons.

REYNOLDS, Manning and Magruder, per-
formed an autopsy, and large ovarian
tumor was removed from her, the con-
tents of which weighed nearly eighty

RS FIRE.-On Sunday afternoon
last, about 4 o'clock, the citizens of our
town were startled by the cries of fire,
occasioned by the burning of a roof Of
a small back building on High street,
belonging to Miss Virginia Entler. The
fire, however, was arrested before it
had gained much progress, by our citi-
zens who were promptly on hand with
the Engine. 1t is supposed that the
roof caught by spark from the main
building. The wind, at the time, was
blowing gale, and it was fortunate
that the flames were so soon suppress
ed, or serious consequences might have
resulted.
