Out of Jail.

When Deputy Sheriff Callaghan
went into the corridor of the jail at
nine O'Clock last night to lock the
prisoners in their cells as usual, he
saw George Walker, the young ruff
fan who was committed some time
since for assault, standing near the
door. Walker said to Mr.. Callaghan
Pm not going to stay here" and at
once took hold of the officer and be-
gan pushing him down the steps in
to the hallway. Six of the other
prisoners were ranged close together
behind Walker in single file, and by
their combined strength they easily
forced Mr.. Callaghan, who was I'M
able to draw his revolver, to the
street door. Here Walker, who is a
very powerful youth, knocked the
deputy backwards down the steps,
and before he could recover himself
the seven prisoners dashed out the
door and took off in the direction of
West Virginia. AS soon as Mr.. CAL
laghan got up he gave chase and cap
tured one of the seven, called
skinny" in the river, wading some
distance out 10 get at him, he ha wing
"taken water" and brought him
back to Jail. The rest, how ever, made
good their escape into West Virgin
ia. The daughter of the sheriff, with
great presence of mind and cool
courage, slammed and bolted the
corridor doors, thus preventing the
egress of the thirty-four other prison
ers confined in the Jail. None of the
six have been recsptured.-C Ubaber-

On last Saturday most distressing
accident occurred on the farm of Jo-
mas Beachy, IN Grantsville district,
this county. 1t appears that two of
Mr.. Beachy's grand-sons and a hired
man named Robert Hileman We're
cutting oats, when they discovered a
rattle snake and proceeded to kill it /;
after it was killed one Of the boys
took it to the house, and while he
was absent his brother found another
which Mr.. Hileman told him to
kill, and laid down his grain cradle
in order to assist the boy. After dis
patching it Hileman went back to
where he had left his cradle, and
slipped or stumbled, falling upon the
scythe, cutting cash eight or ten
inches long in his left thigh, from
Which he bled to death before assist
ance could be rendered. His remains
were buried on Sunday evening,

ton has been able to ascertain, there
is no wish among the people there to
have the standard silver dollar put
in circulation. They much prefer
paper money as being more conven-
lent to handle. Mexican eagle;
dollars, which it is believed in Gal
weston are intrinsically equal iii
value to the standard dollars, are on
ly worth.9O cents in that market, and
pass at that rate il, retail transac-
tonsi from which it may be inferred
how difficult it would be to give any
currency to the standard coin. 1t is
believed at the Treasury here that as
soon as the New Orleans mint gets
into active operation the Mexican
dollars and trade dollars in circula-
ton in the southwest will be retired
by purchase at their bullion value,
and coined into standard silver dol

OAKLAND, Md, Aug. 9TH, 1873.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: Please al.
low me space in your paper to give a
few rambling thoughts relating to
our visit, last week, to the District
Conference, held at Kingwood, Pres
ton county, w. Va.
KingwoOd is a beautiful country
town, situated about S miles from
the B. d o. r. R., has about $50 in
habitants, and more good substan-
tial dwellings, than any other town of
its size within our knowledge; ma
tional bank, a good supply Of stores,
commodious county buildings, a
splendid brick school house and two
beautiful brick churches. The Pres
byterian church was dedicated few
weeks ago, and is free from debt.
The NJ. E. Church is being erected
and it is expected will be ready for
use this fall. When completed, we
are told 1t will be free from debt.
There is far more wealth among the
citizens Of Kingwood than is usual
in villages of its size. Her beautiful
residences, largo and tastefully ar
ranged yards adorned with shade
trees, interspersed with flowers, with
spacious walks, school house, church.
es, make the village present an in
vitipg appearance, and speaks for the
intelligence and morals of the place.
Were it not that our home is in Oak
land, we should conclude it is the
best town within our knowledge.
The Conference was grandly enter
tanned by this very hospitable peo-
pie, every one claiming he had been
sent to the best home in the place.
When we are led to think of the
people of Kngwood and our visit
there, it will be with pleasing recol-
lections. AT the Conference there
was fair attendance-aVera 80
or 10 members at the different Ses-
sions. The usual amount Of bust
ness was transacted. General good
feeling prevailed. Sometimes a streak
of pious holiness was INDUCED in, at
the same time feeling the response
bility resting upon the Conference
in transacting the business of the
church. The literary addresses were
all first class. Among the many in
teresting addresses was that of Hon.
w. 7. Wiley, subject, "Where are
the Amens Of the fathers" Mr.. w.
contrasted the dizziness of worship
now with the enthusiasm of former
days, when all the people sang and
hearty responses were often heard
whilst the minister was preaching.
The 9Sth Psalm was quoted, and ref.
erence made to the responses and en-
thusiasm when great political CUES.
lions are discussed in our legislative
halls. AT the close of the lecture q
collection of $50 was taken to'place
a memorial window in the new NJ
+. Church in memory of Father
Sigler, an old citizen, who led an
exemplary life and died few years
since. More than the required
amOunt was raised
The last evening of the session q
love feast and communion service
was held. A deep religious feeling
pervaded the entire assembly. The
evening meetings were held in the
new Presbyterian church. The pas
tor and congregation not only ten.
dered the use of their beautiful
church, but most heartily united in
the services. The pastor gave few
very hearty and warm words OF
cheer and "God bless you's," at the
close Of the Conference.
