NICHOLAS Court House, W. Va, May
1l.-On the night of the 4th inst. Eaos
Martin broke Jail at this place. The bui Id
ing is made of cut stone, and ceiled on the
inside. He burned a hole in the ceiling
with a pointer and removed q rock from
the wall about two feet square by .one
thick, and about three feet from the
ground. Through this he made his es-
cape, took part of his bedding with him,
since which nothing has been heard of
him. 1t is believed, however, he had
Assistance From the Outside.
There were no other prisoners in the
Jail at that time. Last summer be was iu-
dicted for rape and in default of bail was
committed to Jail, although it is doubtful
whether or not he could have been con-
yiCted. He is married, has a wife and
three children, who have been supported
by the county since his incarceration in
our Jail. He is about thirty years OF age,
light Completed, and will weigh about
$50 pounds.
Clever SeOundrei.
Last summer man came into this eoun-
ty and secured boarding near Cross Lanes.
He said his name was &. J. Williams, and
no one knew from whence he came. He
said he was q life insurance agent, pension
agent, etc, and assisted in getting PEN
sion of some 8. 600 for VIM. King. When
the check came he. by some means, got 1t
from the mails and tried TO collect 1t. for
which he was indicted at the November
term Of the United States District Court at
Charleston. By this time he had won the
confidence OF some of the good farmers OF
the vicinity, and he took John S.
Malcolm, his son Ephrarm, and sOn.in-
law, Allan Milsm to Charleston as his
bOndsmen, vino went his security for his
appearance at the present May term OF
the court, and he returned. lie had not
Duped Them Enough Yet,
but borrowed several sums OF money, Civ
ing them as security. Finally the time
came and he started for Charleston, but
purchased ticket for somewhere else and
IS gone TO parts unknown. Not satisfied
with this he even did more before leaving.
He created great domestic troubles in
the family. but about this | shall not
speak. IL is 20 be hoped that our P 'ople
will keep their eyes open and not be roped
in by such sharpers.

ALASKA.
The Land of Wealth and Mysteries

The Bureau of Education at Wash
ington has published a very interest
ing pamphlet on Alaska, which con-
tains the following facts:
The area Of Alaska is about $50, 100
square miles. which makes it about
One-siIth as large as the rest of the
United States, east OF the A1issippi,
and north OF Georgia and the Caro-
inas.
From north to south, on an air line,
it is 1,4OO miles; from east to west on
an air line, it is 2,200 miles. or as far
as from Washington to California.
And the center of a line from the far
thest east to the farthest west of
the United States is San Francisco.
Alaska has coast line of 25,-
COO miles, or two and half times as
much as the Atlantic coast line of the
remaining portion of the United
States The total area of the islands
OF Alaska is 81 ,205 square miles, or
twice as large as the state of Maine
The climate of Alaska is very even
and temperate along the coast. At
Unatashk, on the 50 uthern coast, the
"AAhOA III ue-
gress above zero, and the mean sum
mer temperature is II degrees above
zero, or about the same as the climate
of Kentucky, but in the interior the
Thermometer often rises above hun
dred in the summer, and goes down
below 40 degrees below zero in the
winter.
Along the coast it is very rainy,
and more than half the days of the
year are either cloudy or rainy. The
largest river in Alaska is the Yukon
which is seventy miles wide across its
five mouths, for the first one thous-
and miles OF its length it is from one
to five miles wide, and, including its
largest trib utary, the Pelly, it may at
certain seasons of the year be navi-
gated for 5000 miles. Alaska has a
large body of fine timber, consisting
of cedar, spruce and fir; also valuable
fur producing AMI mails, including
seal and otter. Salmon, herring and
halibut abound.
Taken altogether, Alaska is a
grand country, and Secretary Sew
ard and President johnson showed
their wisdom in recommending its
purchase by theE Enited States.

To Judge Swan, OF Washington

this FISH and the thanks Of British

for the information he has furnished
ON the subject. We are under obi
CATION to Judge Swan for q fine spec
linen ut the fish cured while On his
recent visit To- the Queen Charlotte
group on behalf Of the Smithsonian
Institute We found the fish rare
-delicacy such as can only be aPpre-
ciated by those who have enjoyed 1t.
1t Is extremely fat and rich and has
very much the flavor of the best
uuckerel The texture OF the fish Is
tender and delicate and quite free
from the wooliness and hardness
which are the chief defects IN ealted
Goldfish. 1t i not too much to say
that the quality and general excel
leuce Of these fish aTe 80 great that
they cannot fail to meet with unIver-
sal appreciation wherever introduced
From Judge Swan We learn the fol
lowing particulars: The fish when
taken from the water average about
thirty inches III length. They abound
all along the west coast of Queen
| Charlotte Island and mainland up to
Alaska Territory. Owing to the
great depth at which they are found
the Indians do not fish for them gen
orally. but could be readily got to do
so were the demand great. With
proper tackle white men could take
these fish in any required quantity.
Here there is an opportunity that
will doubtless be taken advantage OF
by our merchants or traders to start
a line of business that viii undoubt-
| edly at no distant date attain large
proportions. So soon as the railway
into the great Northwest comes to be
| opened up there Will be a never fail
| ing demand for all the fish that
British Columbia can produce, and
the Black Cod, dry-salted, barrelled,
smoked or kippered, will readily find
a market throughout that vast terri
tory. We look forward with conf
dence to see this field of enterprise
promptly taken advantage of, and we
believe it will be mine of wealth to
those who avail themselves of it and
afford a source of great benefit to

THE GRAY's HARBOR RoAD.-An Olym-
pia correspondent of the Tacoma Ledger
has the following to say of the Seattle,
Puget Sound aid Gray's HaTbOr Rail
road: The right of way has been Sc
cured except for short distance near
Montesano. There are some pig-head
ed immigrants lately settled in that vi
cinity who do not require Il railroad to
have just tied from Kansas to escape
from grasshOppers and railroads. They
are sure the hoppers cannot line here,
and they'll be cursed II the railroads
shall. But the wheels Of a great enter
prise are not to be blocked by stupidity
imported from Kansas, and the loco
motive will soon come whooping up the
valley of the Chehalis, screaming at
them in gay derision. Now for the
scheme, cold facts and figures. The
railroad is to be of standard guage, steel
rails; the distance between the termini,
on Gray's Harbor and Budd's Inlet,
sixty-fve miles. The surveys have dem,
onstrated that there will be no grades to-
exceed 20 feet to the mile, and that the
road can be built and equipped for S15.-
600 per mile The Treasurery says SI5,OOG,
the Secretary says $4,000; It's a small
difference anyhow, less than 100000;
you pays your money and you takes your
choice. A donation of 1000 acres of land
is given on Gray's Harbor, including
1000 feet of water front, and on Budd's
Inlet 1000 acres and all the water front
desired. From this point line OF the
company's steamers will connect with
Seattle.
