Desperate Attempt to Escape
from Jail.

On Monday evening last, when our
worthy Deputy sheriff, Dan. FletchA
was taking supper to the TWO colored
prisoners confined i'll our Jail, William
horse from Mrs. sullivan, of Mont
gpmery, concealed himself behind the
door, armed with large black DO tile
and on opening it Majors hit him on the
forehead, smashing the bottle. lie
felled Mr.. Fletcher with the blow, and
then jumped on m-mashing him
down with his knees-injuring him
considerably in the chest aud stomach.
Mr.. Fletcher grappled with him, how
ever, and the negro seeing that he was
striving to get out his pistol, he burst
another bottle over his head. Majors
then attempted to escape, but Mr.
Fletcher gave chase and fired at him
when he had a start of about twenty
yGrds-missing him, however. He still
pursued the darkie, aud after running
about thirty yards the Deputy opened
on him again, firing three shots in fast
succession, each shot taking effect. The
SLOTS brought Majors to, and Fletcher
laid hold of him.
Several of our citizens were sitting
around the stores, and on hearing the
shooting some of them OWNED what the
matter was Among them was Mr..

The Senses of Bees,

The senses of bees were the next sub
ject Of investigation, and we will give
in brief the results which Huber reached.
Tue lenses of the bees eyes are not ad-
justable; aud, though they can see ac-
curately to great distances, they seem
blind to objects close by. Bees dart
down to the door of their hives with a
precision which is generally unerring;
but If, from any cause, they miss the
opening, they are obliged to rise in the
air, in order to take another observa-
tion.
If bees hear-which is a doubtful
question, the Old-fashiOned "taBging"
to the eontrary-they certainly hear
only what affects their welfare. Their
sense of taste is also far from perfect,
foul ditch water being often preferred
by them to limpid streams, or even
dew, and ill-smelling plants having
quite as much attraction as sweet ones;
it is the quantity, rather than the quail
ity of their food, for which they care.
They are also fond of the secretiOns of
the dnphideS, the milch cattle and the
ants.
Their sense of smell is very keen; the
presence of honey they detect even in
the most carefully-cOncealed places.
Honey bees often, in scarce seasons, at
tack humble bees on their return from
| fields laden with honey, and force them
| to disgorge all they have collected. It's
presence in the honey bag must have
been detected by the sense of smell. The
seat of this smell is in the mouth; this
Huber determined by presenting sue
cessively to all parts of the body, on
camePs-hair pencils, Odors especially
repugnant to them. When held near
the mouth, the bee started back as if
annoyed. On one occasion he mixed
honey with camphor, which they es-
pecially dislike; they managed to sep
arate and remove all the honey, leaving
the campher untouched.
The sense which seems to be most per-
feet in these little creatures is that OF
touch, and that seems to reside wholly
in the antenn9. Greetings, caresses,
and the communication of intentions
are always effected by one bee toward
another by crossing their antenn9. 1t
must be remem bered that no light en-
ters hive under ordinary cireumstan-
ces. "The bee," says Huber, constructs
its comb in darkness; it pours its honey
into the magazines, feeds its young,
Judges of their ages and necessities, rec

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.-Friday a
teacher in one of the district schools in
this city was before Judge Pyper to an
swer for beating pupil, little boy ten
or twelve years of age. The evidence
was conclusive that the child had been
cruelty flogged, his body exhibiting
several welts and bruises inflicted by
the defendant. The Justice fined the
teacher $25. The day for severe fiogging
in schools is past, and fortunately for
the youth of the country, the Professor
Squeerses are seldom to be found in the
sehoOl-roOm. A few years ago teacher
was considered by many parents as oi
little account unless he exercised a good
deal of brutality in his school; but hap

and with increasing volume. Already
she has made donations to fifty-two OF

81, 800 and making an aggregate of S74, :
500, and the intimation comes from
Judge Hilton that other charitable in
stitutions, if found deserving, will be
made recipients of her bounty. Since
the death of her husband Mrs. Stewards s
manifestations of which the public
have been informed-have reached an
aggregate of about four hundred thous-

The critics have been attacking Anna
Dickinson again, and she has been fir
ing back. We see no reason for giving
more weight to the judgment of critic
than the opinion of one man, for that is
all it is, and amusement is entirely a
matter of taste, in which one person is
no more authorized to decide what will
please other auditors than he is to de-
eide with what kind of dinner they
should be most pleased. 1t is entirely
absurd that the question of the merits OF
Miss Dickinson as an actor should be
settled by the newspaper critics, be-
cause they constitute SO Insignificant a
proportion of the theater-going public.
We can conceive, however, that there is
one thing standing in the way of heI
success. She goes on the stage, not as
an artist, but with as serious and earnest
purpose as she carried to the platform;
and public amusement, according to the
prevailing taste, is not thing of NOR.
ais, as witness the Soldene. If she
could educate new school of taste, in
sympathy with her own aims, she
might secure wider approbation.-Neol

GOOD -Self-reliance is the
main-spring of thrift and enterprise.
Instead of waiting as Micawber did for
something to turn up, exert your own
energies, and turn up something your
self.
If self-denial cost us nothing, it
would teach US little. A caustic writer
says:
1.-THE power of self-delusion is heavens
blessing to FOOLS"
1t needs long bead to control long
tongue.
If you pride yourself on saying what
you like, you will often hear what you
do not like.
How many thoughts we waste; how
much care and anxiety we expend in
forming plans to meet emergencies that
never occur.
1t is better to buy good counsel cheap
than repentance dear.
Never be behind time. 81 have no
ticed," said Napoleon, "that it was the
quarters of hours that decided the fates
of battles"
People may tell you of your being un-
| fit for some peculiar occupation in life,
but heed it not; whatsoever honest oc-
cupation you follow with perseverance
and assiduity will be found for you, and
will be your support in youth and CON-
fort in old age.
A good word is an easy oblation; but
not to speak ill requires only our silence
which costs US nothing.
In the worldly struggle, passive en-
dursnce is no less useful than active en-
ergy.
No bad quality or vice carries its ap
propriate punishment along with il
more surely than heartlessness.
