HOODLUNIS.
a NlbanYis perhaps as free from that
nuisance known as hoodlums as any
city on the coast, but nevertheless, AL
bany has its hoodlums, and among the
few that infest our city, can be found
those not much larger than bar of
soap after a hard days washing. We
have now in our minds eye, two-a
brother and sister-the oldest not more
than five years old, who are a pest to
the whole neighbOIhood in which the
family live. These two young rogues
invade the premises Of every family
in the neighborlIood, when they can do
so unobserved, and pluck the flowers
from the gardens and from the fower-
pots upon the porches and door steps;
and to show the wantonness Of the act,
and the vandalism Of theayoung ras-
calls, it is only necessary to state that
after committing these depredations
they march to the banks ofaCalapooja
river and dump their booty over the
bluff.
Children of sdflieientintelligence to
watch for an opportunity to commit
such acts have sense enough to he
tallghtstlhtit is ~ 1crime, and in de-
fault of such teaching and such re-
straints on the part of parents as will
prevent a,repetition of such acts, the
parents may not be surprised at any
time to find themselves under arrest
for malicious mischief. If the chill
dren are not old enough to be held per-
sonally responsible for such acts, the
law will presume they acted in obedi-
ence to the command Of the parents
and parents must answer for the tor
tious acts of their children.
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE. --lPwoh white
men and an Indian made an unsuccess-
full attempt to escape from our county
iail last Friday During the day they
are allowed the freedom of the corridor
in which to exercise themselves, and
last Friday afternoon took advantage
of this privilege to cut a hole through
the brick wall in the privy, at the back
Of, the Jail. After accomplishing this
much they hid themselves in q space
left for ventilating purposes between
the tops of their cells and the second
floor of the Jail, expecting the sheriff
would think they had escaped and
would leave the Jail without any
guard and go in search of them, when,
under the cover of the night, they
could easily, enlarge the hole already
made and make their escape. When
the hole in the wall was measured II
was found to be only about 8xl0 inches
In size, and, as person cannot con-
veniently force himself through such
a small aperture it was known that
the prisoners were still in the jail
IJpon search being instituted they
were soon found and returned to thell
cells,
4 HuArTNe EXP Ep1rIoN. Last Tues
day VIM. Tally, Geo. Burkhart, Billy
Miller and Geo. Weller started for th'
