ATTEMPTED Jail Escape.

Edward Tatro, the convicted murderer of
Mrs. Butler, and three other prisoners at
tempted to escape from Jail at St. Adams
last Sunday. They had dug through the
wooden floor and were removing the ma
sonry underneath when discovered. Their
objective point was the sewer underneath,
through which they expected to crawl until
they reached some opening in the street
They confessed that they had previously
planned to knock down the sheriff, some
time when he should come to the door, and
make their escape through the Office, buI
they abandoned that because no one of then
was willing to be the leader.

Robbery at Chester.

The postoffice at Chester was broken in
to Tuesday night for the second time
within three months and robbed of what
small change and pennies the postmaster
had, amounting to about 5000 and few
postage stamps. The entrance to the
building WAS gained by breaking pane of
glass in the window; pushing the spring
and raising the window, scaling the parti-
ton separating the postoffice from the store
and wrenching the money drawer from its
place. The probability is that it was the
work of tramp or any skilled burglar.

A Farm of the Good Old Sort.

Nearly every adult in the united coun-
ties is more or less acquainted with that
large property situated about six miles
out of the town, on the Perth road, and
known as the Flint farm. 1t has for a
number of years been owned by Mr..
Samuel Flint of this town, who has con-
tinued to rent it from year to year, de-
irving from its rental quite hansome
amount. For the past four years it has
been managed by Mr.. Frank McCrea,
formerly or Merrickville, who has put it
in the best possible condition, and has
reaped from it some of the best crops
ever raised in this section. This spring
Mr.. McCrea bought the farm out and
out, paying for it the handsome sum of
$15, 900. Our reporter obtained from
Mr.. McCrea the following statistics in
reference to this years business on the
farm, together with the quantity of land
titled. He has reaped and housed 125
tons of hay, 1900 bushels of oats, 900
bushels of barley, 100 bushels spring
wheat, 900 bushels potatoes, l, 800 BUSH
els of turnips and 100 bushels of peas.
COWS are kept on the place,
the milk being sent to the factory, and
during the best part of the season ae-
$50 pounds at each milking.
Four men with seven horses do the
work, and they are now engaged in put
ling into shape fifty acres of ground,
which will this fall be sowed to rye.
The farm comprises 500 acres, half of
which (250 .acres) is in a good state of
and has upon it some of the
best farm buildings in Canada.-Brock-

The clsng OF bells on his dreaming broke;

Coat and hat were alike forgot,
As mp tho highway the blacksmith ran,
In face and mien like crazy man.

And women prayed, AZ women will, .
While DER the tumult the wailing cry
or frightened children rose shrill and high
Night in its shadows hid sun and earth;

But wifeless, childless, forlOrn and old
He thought Of the family cross the way;

Slaughter Of Cattle Thieves.

A special from Leavenworth. Kansas,
to the st. Louis Globe Democrat says a
private letter, received at Fort Ellis,
gives an account of fight between cat
tie thieves and party Of pursuers in
the Cheyenne country, Kansas, some
days ago. 1t seems large number of
cattle had been stolen during the past
summer, and it was finally determined
by the herders and owners to put q stop
to it and make an example of the thieves.
In this instance it is said some 1000
cattle were run off from Western Kan
sas and Colorado by twelve robbers,
who started North with them. A party
of fifteen rangers, we'll armed and
mounted, started in pursuit, and, after a
hard ride of five days, came upon the
thieves in the extreme northwestern
part of Kansas, surrounded them while
at supper, killed seven of them, hanged
another to tree, and recovered all the
cattle. None of the rangers were hurt,
the surprise being so complete the rob-
bers had no chance to return the fire or
make any resistance.

The Great Wall of China.

The great wall of China was measured
in many places by Mr.. Unthank, an
American engineer, lately engaged on a
survey for Chinese railway. His
measurements give the height at eigh-
teen feet, and width on top of fifteen
feet. Every few hundred yards there is
q tower twenty-four feet square, and
from twenty to forty-fve feet high. The
foundation of the wall is of solid granite.
Mr.. Unthank brought with him brick
from the wall, which is supposed to
have been made 200 years B. @. In
building this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 1900 miles the
wall goes over plain and mountain, and
every foot of the foundation is in solid
granite, and the rest of the structure
solid masonry. In some places the wall
is built up against the bank, or canons,
or precipices, where there is sheer
descent of 1000 feet. Small streams
are arched over, but in the larger
streams the wall runs to the waters
edge, and tower is built on each side.
On the top of the wall there are breast
works, or defenses, facing in and out, so
the defending force can pass from one
tower to another without being exposed
to an enemy from either side. To cal
culate the time of building or cost of
this wall is beyond human skill. So far
as the magnitude of the work is con-
cerned, it itsurpasses everything in ancient
or modern times of which there is any
trace. The pyramids of Egypt are
nothing compared to it.

A Problem Solved.

Probably one of the greatest problems
of this age is the mule. Although
volumes have been written on the mule,
yet the accident statistics show that he
is as little understood as ever. How to
mix kindness and frmness in the proper
proportions and then apply the concoc-
tion successfully to on energetic mule is
one of "those things no fellow can find
out" The mule is deceitful and des-
perately wicked. 1t knows no north, no
south, no west, no east, in tho rigid i'm
partiality with which it bestows its
favors. In trying to solve the mule
problem many very wise men have been
baffled, and likewise knocked into q de-
moralized heap in the opposite corner Of
the stable from which the mule stood.
And yet how strange it is that after all
these years of Intellectual research the
true solution of this vexed question
should be discovered by a small boy.
This little fellow livesi in Richmond, Vir-
ginia, and while playing near mule
was, by means of that animals method
of rapid transit, suddenly landed in
neighboring field. When he recovered
from the emotion caused by SO unex-
pected an event, he managed to insinuate
himself into the mules affections, taking
care, however, always to keep at the
correct end of the mule. Finally the
innocent and unsuspicious quadruped
was firmly tied to a tree, under whose
shades we're several hives of bees. The
mule brought disaster upon himself by
kicking over hive just by way of rec
reation. The combat that ensued was
dreadful to behold. The boy is not
quite certain whether the bees or the
mule Won the victory. He thinks it was
the mule, because when the owner came
after the body, there was not a vestige
of the hives to be seen, and the bees
had all disappeared, while the remains
of the mule still occupied the battle
field.
