o"'hunter got out of the house with thc
utmost expedition; and when told the wild
owed pair were mother and daughter
(Which was not the clse) he was conso,cd
~ once as he had narrowly escaped, he
said, marrying into a family of hell cats -
Having seen the mar we are inclined 20
tllink the escape OF the widow equally
fortunate.
We are not disposed to depreciate the
claims Of Mr.. II. p. Buxton, OF Carlyle,
whom we shall probably announce soon, as
candidate for the Supreme Judgeship; but
we must confess that during our thirty-two
years residence in Southern H., we never
heard of II. p. Buxton as lawyer or other
wise, until we heard his name used in con
nection with his present candidacy, If his
mental and moral measure fits him for the
position lac seeks, no one will dispute his
right to enter the field as candidate If
he Is not the man the high trusts and the
grave responsibilities Of the position require,
he has no right to obtrude himself in the
way ofmen who are confessedly qualified
We repeat that we do not know--we never
heard ofMr. Buxton, If he is a legal lumi-
nary whose light has been hidden under a
bushel measure, we shall when so assured,
recognize the fact publicly and chcerfully,
The convict James w. Geay, who
escaped from the Chester penitentiary, a

e the register mark on his underwear. He
IS owes two years service to this State, and
If as jim White owe, several years to Mis-.
lie souri, He was in charge of the engine,
Is when he made his ESCAPE. The guards
J. having retired for he moment, the fellow
rs attlred himself in dtizens clothing and lit
is out. In the hore that some of our detec-
tives who need ''he usual reward" will
ct come across Jim Geary alias, etc, we pub
ct fish the above description.
