Mitchell gets through with him. Here
i, a specimen of Mitchell's rejoinder:
..Some months ago, as above stated,
he made an uncalled for and unpro.
voked attack upon US at Hunters
Hall one Sabbath afternoon. because
forsooth, we were unwilling to throw
away our views on theology and adopt
those of such bull headed ignoramus
as himself. We made brief reply to
his attack, and from the way that he
seems to be smarting and wincing un-
der that reply. he appears to think
that in it, we rather 'sgot away with
him. At any rate, he seems to have
made up his mind that this time he
would pitch into us far more savageiy
than ever. We have not space this
morning to give anything like syn
opsis of his harangue. aud it is per.
haps entirely unnecessary that we
should. as, if he holds forth here on
Sunday, as he probably will. he
doubtless will take occasion to pour
out the walls of his wrath on our de-
voted head again, when the public can
have the privilege of hearing his pious
vituperation from his own lips-if they
have yearning for gospel of that
sort. We understand, however, that
he said that while conceding that we
had more education and more literary
culture than he had, that he yet boast.
that he has what we have not, viz. a
good character! All, indeed! Well,
now, Bob, we do not claim to be per-
lection by any means. but should dis
like most Internally to exchange char
acters with you; and, if you place
very high estimate on your character,
you do just what good many others
do not. But let US maks a brief com.
parison between our respective char.

did. We never used to get drunk and
wallow in the gutters-you did. We

SEVERAL articles in Lippincott's Magazine
for December will be found of special interest
to different classes of readers. All who have
made mechanics an object of study, theoret
ical or practical, should read Edward H.
Knights lucid description of the machinery
exhibits at the Paris Exposition, which is &C.
companied with cuts of the most striking and
novel specimens. Every one who care about
art will find mastery, yet not too technical,
analysis of the characteristics of the different
schools of the present day in "Some Aspects
of Contemporary Art" by NJ. G. Van Rens'
selaer. Those who care to know something
of what Spain is doing in the way of iitera-
ture, and indeed general readers as well, will
be charmed with Professor T. F. Cranes ac-
count of "a Spanish Story-Teller." Ed
ward King writes pleasantly of "Danubian
Days" with the aid of many good illustra-
tions, and Isabella Anderson, resident OF
Venezuela, gives a graphic account of the
great earthquake which destroyed some Of
the fairest regions of that country in the
spring of the present year. "FOr Percival''
is concluded in this number, which is, we OBJ
serve, enlarged to admit of its completion
with the year. Miss Olney's "Through Wind

JAIL DELIVERY.
Four Less to Eat County Hash.

On Tuesday night between the hours of II
and 12 o'clock, four prisoners confined il the
county Jail made their way out of the bastile,
and into the free air. 1t has been the custom
of jailors to permit prisoners during the day
time, to have free access to the area between
the cells on either side of the iron cage in
which they are confined, and at night to lock
them up. On Tuesday night about o'clock,
after adjournment of Court, Sheriff Kinney
went to the outer door of the cage in which
were the prisoners, and ordered them into
their respective apartments. Each man re-
tired to his cell at once, and apparently pulls
ed the door shut after him, when the Sheriff
pulled the lever of the shifting lock, which
operates to secure by three bolts in each door
the entire row of cells.
Subsequent developments, however, lead
to the belief that by previous arrangement and
Immediately before the lever was pulled, four
of the cell doors were pushed little ajar so
that the bolts of the lever-loCk would miss the
stay and pass on the inside of the door, thus
leaving the prisoners free access to the inner
court. The escape from the heavily latticed
iron cage into the vestibule of the Jail was eff
fected by taking up small piece of the wood
floor in the southeast CO ner of the cage,
which was done by cutting it off at one end
and burning it off the other, which they could
not reach through the bars, by pouring kero'
sene oil upon it and setting it on fire repeat
edly, thus charring it so that it would break
easily, and the removal of piece of the stone
flooring beneath it, nearly feet long. feet
wide and 10 inches thick, and extenci un'
der the iron work into the outer chamber. 1t
was also necessary to get rid of heavy piece
of timber at this point, which they succeeded
in doing by saving it off with saw made of
strip iron which they had torn from the bot
tom of bedsted and hacked in some manner
so as to make the edges jagged.
Through the aperture thus made, which
was but ten inches deep in one direction, ac-
cess was gained to the outer hall Of the jail, land
from this an easy ascent was made to the roof
of the building, and then by means of ropes
manufactured from bed-clothes, they reached
the ground in the jail-yard and made off, it is
supposed in the direction of Wheeling, as
such party was seen making tracks at live
| ly speed going out of the east end of town
about that time of night.
The prisoners who escaped are John W. II

cerated on the 10Th of June, for shooting will

HoPEpALE NORMAL SCHOOL.

1t is a conceded fact that Jasper coun-
tvs corps of teachers rank with the best in
the State, and Kellogg, Richland and Newton
townships take the lead in regard to the pro-
ficlency of their teachers. This is fact un-
deniable and for proof of the above statement
we would request the skeptic to visit the
schools in said townships and witness the
methods of their teachers and we are thor
oughly convinced that the above would be
fully corroborated. Some of the curious,
are, perhaps anxious to know, why it is that
these townships, in particular are favored with
better teachers than other portions of the
county. TO all such, we would say that there
are at least twenty teachers in said townships
who have graduated or have been members of
the Hopedale Normal School, located in Hope
dale, Harrison County, Ohio. This institu-
lion is one of the best for Normal training in
the L. s., it being under the immediate
charge of VIM. Brinke-hoff, LII. d. who has
had an experience in Normal work Tor over
forty years. This institution has two courses,
Scientific and Classic, both courses being
very complete and requiring four years each
for graduation. By this article we do not
desire to distract students from our home in
stitu.ions but to those who desire to attend a
first class institution abroad we would unhesi-
tatingly recommend the above. We think
that all teachers and those who intend to
teach, should avail themselves of thorough
normal training if they wish TO become pro-
fcent in their calling.

Officer Umstead started in pursuit about 10
o'clock yesterday morning, but it is hardly
likely that he will overtake them soon, after
giving them ten hours start. 1t is probable
that the prisoners were several days in making
their arrangements, and in doing their pre-
liminary work before their delivery, taking
advantage of the absence of the officers, and
adroitly covering their operations.
It may be said here that all the escapes
from our Jail of recent years, and they have
not heen infrequent, has been effected
through the roof of the building. With small
outlay the Commissioners could remedy this
defect in the prison. 1t should be done at
once.

CoURT has been engaged since Thursday Of
last week in hearing the case of R. D. Walsh
against the bellaire & st. Clairsville Narrow
Gauge Railway Company. Walsh was the
original contractor TO build the road between
this point and Quincy, and put it in condition
for the cars. Owing to dispute between
Walsh and the Directors of the Company, a
settlement was never effected, and the pres
ent suit is brought to recover what is claimed
to be due. Walsh was to construct the road
on certain line for $4,000. He claims that
the line of the road was changed without his
consent, and that thereby it was made much
more difficult to construct, and suit was en-
tered for $16, 900, less $500, admitted to-
have been paid by the Company. The suit is
contested by the Company on the ground that
the contractor abandoned the work before it
was completed, and thatwhat was done, was not
up to the requirementsof the contract. Consid-
erable interest is manifested by the people
here in the final determination of the case
The evidence was concluded on Tuesday, and
the arguments of counsel began Wednesday
morning. The plaintiff is represented by P.
TallInan, Esq, of this place, and Judge M.
NJ Granger, of GAINESVILLE, and the defence
by D. D. T. Cowen and st. Clair Kelly, Esq.
