A Boy Coareyet By Adams Esprss,-
Cases are by no means rare where
boys and girls. and even children of
older growth. are conveyed to diiler'
ent points Of the country by express
The last example of this kind we read
Of occurred ths other day, when boy
named Walton was shipped bv ey-
press from DOylestown to M. w. De.
witt, White Haven, passing up tho
1000 train. Tho bill read as follows :
'One boy, from 4. II. Walton, Doylcs-
town to NJ. w. Dewitt, White Haven,
weight 80 pounds. lie had the regu-
lar tag fastened to ono of the button
holes on the coat. Young Walton is n
lad of IL years rs ho was compelled
to make u number of changes in go
ing from DoylestOwn to White Ha-
ven his friends determined to express
him. Before reaching his destination
he was checked Ivy eight different mes
songers. Tho cost of the trip was
e5,2j. Tho novelty of the thing at
tractod general attention. Tho loss
of the hoy would raise n fine point OF
law.-HdrriJury hdepcnisa.
CAPTURED. John Maguire, tho pri-
soner who soapcd his body aud crawed
through very small window in the
Jail on Thursday night Of last week
was arrested at Lock Haven on Mon
day night aud brought back 10 his
quarters on Tuesday, by Chief of Pos
lic0 Keller. IL is not likely that he
will soon attempt TO escape again from
the jail in that way, Mcguire says
that If tho window frame had been n
quarter inch narrower he could not
have escaped How he got his head
out is yet marvsl. Tho space was
only 5i inches, and ho requires, go he
says, AZ Ia hat. The pressure he said
was awful. He got through into the
yard about eleven o'clock, and waited
some time in trying To get Dawes
through. Finally he scaled the guard
wall between two and three o'clock n.
m, having fallon back twice before he
succeeded. He then made his way on
the railroad over the bridges aud put
APP for the night at the lime kilns abo g
Northumberland. aud remained in the
woods next day. The next night he
got on freight train Mt Milton, accom-.
panied by tramp TO Milliamspoft.
AT the latter place tho tramp seeing
him wash the soap from his body aud
having read the account OF his escape,
suspected him, and gave information
that led 10 tho arrest Mt Lock
Haven. The escape OF Maguir
was certainly not the fault of the
Sherlh. uor any Of his attendants. II
has been demonstrated, Ia this very
case, that the openings IN the iron
ifame ought not TO he more than four
Inches, while these ere %, and when
