Death of Vice President Wilson.

1t is announced by telegraph that Hon.
Henery Wilson, Vice-President of the
United States, died at Washington at eight
o'clock Monday morning. The news was
unexpected, as well as sorrowful, as Mon
day mornings papers stated that MIR. Will
son had quite recovered from his illness
and was about to return to Massachusetts.
He has been carried off now, without much
doubt, by recurring attack of apoplcxy or
paralysis. For his sudden death we have
been in some degree prepared, but the ac-
tual event brings with it as much and as
sincere regret as that of any other public
man. No one has stood higher in the es-
TEEN and respect of the American people
than Henry Wilson. They have always
believed in his entire purity, honesty and
devotion to the public interests. He was
63 years of age Beginning life in very
humble way, as shoemaker, he first be-
came known in politics in 194O as mem-
Der of the Massachusetts Legislature. He
was elected a United States Senator in
1855, and has ever since been conspicuous
in national affairs. His place as President
of the Senate will be filled by Hon. Thomas
w. Ferry, of Michighan, who was elected
presiding officer, protein, by that body last
March. Mr.. Ferry now stands next in the
line of succession to the President Of the
United States.

Ok Monday 18th inst. aladywho gave her
name as Frances Stanard, was brought
to this place, on charge Of stealing some
clothing from the residence Of James Steen,
il Jackson township. The officer in charge
delivered her over to the authorizes Of this
place for commitment, but where to confne
her, was a question not easily solved. The
new Jail not being completed, she could not
be placed there. The dilema was overcome
after considerable consultation. 1t was deci-
ded that she should be locked up in the old
Grand jury room, and there she was placed,
and every thing seemed to work smoothly,
until Friday morning, when Mrs. Daniel
futile, called to furnish the prisoner her
breakfast. On approaching the door Mrs
T. discovered considerable smoke, and on
raising the wicket in the door, discovered at
once the room 10 be on FIRE, and gave the
alarm, which soon brought to her assistance
several persons who were near the Court
House 1t the time. On forcing open the
door and the application Of several buckets
Of water the fire was put out. But what
had become o the prisoner? some were fearful
she had perishcd in the flames, as the bed
ding in the room was nearly all consumed
and large hole, nearly seven feet square,
was burned in the floor and several of the
joists nearly burned off, butwhat had become
of the prisoner was not made manifest until
the discovery was made that she had made
her escape through the window and left for
parts unknown to tie authorities. Itappears
the prisoner before making her escape, had
taken the doors off the stove-a Morning
Glory tipped it over on the floor and piled
the bedding on top Of the stove, and then
left, supposing probably, that if the authori-
ties discovered her escape too soon for hel
safety, they would have something to attend
to besides pursuing her; and thus enable her
to get out Of reach Of the strong embrace Of
our county officials. But cur new and
formidable Jail will soon be completed when
birds Of this feather win find it difficult to
give our amiable officials the sack in this
uuIady-iikc manner. We hope, therefore,
that they VIII console themselves with the
hope Of better time coming.
