-On Saturday afternoon the Valley School
House near Moore's Station, on the Belvidere
Delaware Railroad, was entered by Eve strag-
glers, generally called tramps. and robbed of
school books. The robbery having been dis
covered, the thieves were pursued by citizens
of the neighborhood and captured. They
were taken before Benjamin Atchley, Esq, at
Titusville, who gave them partial hearing,
aud in order to give time to hear from some of
the Trustees of the School the extent of the
robbery, the Justice committed them for a
further hearing. They gave their names as
James Barry, William Smith, Charles Smith,
William Henry and James Crane. They were
placed in the charge of Constable Davis, who
lodged them in the Mercer County Jail about
10 o'clock ON Saturday night. They allege
themselves to be innocent of the charge, but
there is very little doubt of their guilt.
ESCAPE FROM JAfI.s-On Tuesday night
last, William Miller and Charles Hamilton,
the two boys who broke into Thatchers sa-
loon at Three Bridges,last September, and
stole small bill of goods, together with a
young man named Richard Stone, confined in
our County Jail for the alleged forcing of a
lock of house in Annandale, gave the Sheriff
the slip. and are now breathing the sweet air
of freedom. The escape was made soon after
dark and while they yet had access to the jail
yard. There is no doubt at all that some one
on the outside helped the prisoners over tie
wall by throwing rope to them and hauling
them up. A short ladder was found standing
a e,a met tha ,ra II on the outc;da which had av
identity been used by the outside pal. AS tie
offences of all three were of trifling charac-
ter, their escape is Of no Importance, and the
county is well rid of further expense with
them Hunterdon Democrat.
