 af the New Depot.


 Deputy Warden Osborne, of the New York Penitentiary, passed through here last even- ing from Boston with Mrs. Slater (alias Frisbie, alias Hooker), the most notorious shop litter in New York city. She made big haul of silk about week ago and escaped to Boston, where she was captured by War den Osborne, who was well acquainted with her from her being in the penitentiary several times. She asked to go in the dressing room at the depot. The officer in charge of her requested the lady in charge of the ladies' room to watch her in the room, as he thought she would try to escape if she got g chance. Sure enough, when the door was opened she was in the act of raising the window to es- cape. Her husband accompanied her. She is said to conceal fifty yards of silk without being noticed.
