A man named Allen G. Laros, a great
criminal who was confined in the Penn
sylyania Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg.
made his escape on the 18th of October
last, and drifted here to Memrhis. He
nrst went to work as a carpenter, then
with the idea that he ought to die.
he went among the sick, slept among the
infected bed clothes, and did all be could
to catch the yellow fever. But it refused
to touch him, as it did scores of Others of
his sort. Finally, Laros left here for
Marion, Crittenden county, Ark. There
he revealed to Sheriff Beatty the fact that
he was a culprit and a refugee from the
Harrisburg Asylum. He also wrote let
ters to the Sheriff of the county where
Easton is situated, and the Gene of his
crimes. He wished to die, he said, and
also wished to surrender himself to the
authorities that he might be hing to end
his miserable existence.
On the 22d of last month a detective
named johnson arrived here and crossed
over to Marion, where he fou. Laros,
apparently well and hearty. He claimed
that he was not insane, but expressed a
perfect willingness to return to the scene
OF his crimes, which he did without being
manacled, travelling in railway cars the
same as other passengers, no one knowing
him to be a prisoner.
The information regarding the crime
in which Laros is said to have participated
and acted a vile part, is not definitely
known here, but he is pronounced a great
criminal by the Easton Argus. a paper
printed near whore he formerly resided.
In one of his letter Laroa wrote to the
sheriff at homethat he was not Of unsound
mind had no conyulsions; and said his
parents were kind and a~ffectionate also,
that he was unable to explain his conduct.
He further said:
am tired Of life and do not wish to live.
as my days are spent in sorrow and my
nights in grief; and knowing il to DO your
duty as m officer to bring me back and
hang me, ] will ask you 10 do it as soon a,
possible, for l have been unhappy ever
since tho commission Of that horrible
crime. BY so doing you will put an end
to my sorrows, for | long to die and be
With my God, whore peace and joy abideth
forever, and ] car never again DO happy
until death %releaves me Of my sorrows.
Laros has been returned to the ASYLUM
at Harrisburg and placed in a ward occu.
pied by patients who are in the most fav.
orable condition. II is surmised that he
was instrumental in numbering members
of his own family.

Springfield Record,
A few years ago English sparrows
were shipped from Europe to America
and sold in pairs-male and female.
While In Philadelphia in 1876 we
noticed large coveys of these birds ON
the streets, They would rise when
the street cars approached and alight
at the rear of the oars when they
passed, On the sidewalk shade trees
we noticed numbers of little boxes for
their homes. They were very gentle y;
one could almost pick them up off the
street. Now the country, or at least
this section, is flooded with them.
Last week we saw a drove of thousands
Of them around and in our town. They
afford much sport for all who want to
kill q heap of birds at one shot, but.

shot has fewed away, whar is de bird?

near New Madrid, and after breaking loose
had no provisions or FIRE.
Captain Eugene Smith, of the Marlin
Speed, and Mr.. Wash Floyd, chief clerk
Of the same steamer, arrived here this
morning via the Little Rock railroad. The
Speed is in a safe harbor at Helena and
has on board 200 bales of cotton for Men,

Texas passed Helena Sunday evening all

here to New Orleans, passed Helena yes

Jerry Williams paid five dollars this

dollars for assault and battery and disor-
DERBY conduct. He is in prison for the
present. Thomas Runnels, for vagrsncy,

five dollars for the fun he engaged in
whipping some one. All of this happened
