During the night Of Wednesday Of last week
Augustus Brown, white, and John Watts, col
ored, confined in the County Jail on charges Of
larceny, escaped tlefefrom by filing two Of the
iron bars In the rear window Of the large cell.
The snow Of Wednesday had ceased falling when
they made their escape, by which means they
were tracked over the field of Jos. H. Ke5 to the
public road leading from Town to FoxweIl's
wharf, where the traces could no longer be fol-
lowed Watts has since been captured. Unable
to stand the intense cold Of the weather, he
sought refuge at the farm of WIN. Mattingly,
near the Town. Mr. Mattingly, after kindly
providing for bis necessities, Immediately in-
formed the deputy sheriff, A. ]. Scott, who at
once went out and brought him in. The pris-
oners feet were found badly frosl-btten and fears
are entertained that amputstion will be necessa-
Ky. Brown has not been heard of and II 10
thought he is making his way to Hartford coun-
ty, his home prior to his coming to this. The
work OF fling the bars was done in = profes-
sional manner, a fac saw being used, "a part Of
which has been recoyered), and some acid for
| the purpose of softeniug the iron. OF course,
/ this assistance was given 10 the prisoners by
some one on the outside, and, suspicious are
very strong as TO the assisting party or parties,
which are much strengthened BY the statement
Of Watts, but we forebear giving this statement
as it may be the subject Of future investigation
by the officers Of the law.

In our desire to crafty many readers Of the
