General Jail Delivery.

George Smith, the Wilcox burglar;
Charles Coffee, the Centreville rioter;
and Dave Donaley, the man who was
sent to Jail for stealing blanket from
Jacob Butterflies, and whose term ex-
pired week ago Monday, all took
trip over the Jail wall, on the west
side, and are now as free as birds of the
air. Saturday evening last, at eight
o'clock, the three aforementioned wor-
thies were supposed to be safe and
sound in our securely arranged county
Jail. At a later hour they were gone.
They made graphing hook of stove
pokers and rungs from their iron bed
stead; these irons were bent in the
form of hook at one end, and the
bundle secured at the other end with
wire. The bed clothes were torn into
shreds, and made into rope. This
rope was fastened into the wire end of
the graphing hook, or anchor, and at
the right time was thrown over the
Jail yard wall, when the anchor caught
on the coping, and by this means the
exit was accomplished. When on top
the wall the hook was secured on the
Inside, the rope lowered on the outside,
and good-by John. The day of his es-
cape was the first time Smith had been
allowed to leave his cell since his at
tempted escape on March 9th, and was
only out at this time on account of the
Jail being whitewashed, and it was
therefore, necessary that his cell door
should beopen. The door that opens
into the Jail yard had not been UNI
locked for week, and was secured,
besides the regular lock, with a patent
paddock, which is considered to be
burglar proof. The keys were all found
in their accustomed place, by the jailor,
H. H. wensel, on his return from down
town at about 8 o'clock. How the
door came to be unlocked is a mystery
that will probably not be solved until
one of the prisoners is caught. In the
meantime would it not be good idea
to give the Jail wall coat ofwhite
wash, for that might help to keep the
boys in.

Election of County Superintendent.

The Elk County School Directors
assembled according to law, on Tues
day last, to elect a County Superin-
tendendent for the ensuing three years,
and.to fix his salary. Forty-one, of
the sixty-six directors, in the county,
were present.
The meeting was organized by the
election of Thos. Irwin, of Spring
Creek, Chairman, and E. j. Miller, of
Ridgway, Secretary.
Geo. r.. Dixon, present incumbent,
was the only candidate before the con-
yention, and was unanimously re-
elected.
On the question of salary, ]. l..
Brown, Esq, of Wilcox, read the new
law in relation to the salary of County
Superintendents, and which gives the
Elk County Superintendent only $500
from the State fund. He also stated
that any greater amount the directors
might allow would be paid from the
school fund of the county. He then
moved that the salary be fixed at$12OO.

Elk County Sabbath school Association.

The Second Annual Session of the
Elk County Sabbath School Associa-
ton will be held in the M. e. Church,
at Ridgway, on Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, May 22nd, 2Srd, and Gath,
1873. Commencing Wednesday, at
2.8o p. NJ, and closing on Friday at
noon.
This association perfected its organi-
zation at Wilcox, in May, 1877, when
there was q fair representation of Elk
County Sabbath Schools, excepting
those in the southeastern portion Of the
county. Wehope to have every school
in the county represented this year by
good efficient delegates. "In union
there is strength" and the object Of
this association is to unite all of our
Sabbath Schools in this society, that
each may be strengthened by the union.
We cordially invite every Sunday
School worker in the county to be
present during the whole session, If
possible, no matter whether in the
capacity of regularly elected dele
gate, or in your own individual ca
pacity, we say come!
Entertainment will be provided free,
for all, from abroad, who will favor us
with their presence and assistance,
providing they notify the President
that such entertainment is desired.
Good music will be furnished for the
occasion, and our sessions will be en-
livened by the presence and assistance
of Rev. Crittenden, of Bellefonte, and
several other good speakers and work
ers, from various parts of our county,
who have promised to be present.
BY some mistake of the Secretary,
| this convention was announced, in
one of our county papers, to take place
in April last, but this was simply a
mistake, and we hope that no harm has
been done by it.
