preserve Autumn leaves, may be glad
of the following recipe: Spread the
fresh leaves and press them in a suita-

the leaves smoothed under a hot iron
dipped for a moment in clear French
spirit varnish, and allowed to dry in
the air.

JAIL BREAKING.-Last Sunday
night, three prisoners, Frank Deem,
Henry Malloy, and George Sherwood
escaped from st. J ohnsbury Jail. Deem
is the man who has cut up so many
antics in Caledonian county during
the past summer. Among other wick

East Burke the trail was lost, although
