Jail Delivery.

The Miff1intown jail cannot come
up to the number of escapes that
take place from the Huntingdon jail.
The latest escapes from the latter jail
is reported as follows by the Altoona
Tribune. A general jail delivery oc-
CURED here at an early hour this
morning, resulting in the escape of
four notorious and dangerous char
acters named William Walker, Sam
uel Shetram, John Carr, colored, and
John Fremont. The two former
were awaiting trial for burglary and
train wrecking, and the two latter
for riot. Walker and Shetram are
now suspected of belonging to the
gang Of counterfeiters of which John
Wilson was the head, at whose house
there were recently found a kit of
counterfeiters tools. The escaped
prisoners were confined in cells in
the newly bukt portion of the Jail,
and by means of a sharp file they
succeeded at intervals in filing the
thread from the staples in the cell
locks, which with slight pressure
conld be forced from their fastening.
This file was taken from them, but
no Inspection of their cells was made
at the time. At about 2 clock this
morning they forced open their cell
doors and stealthily crawled past the
sheriffs quarters to the lower corri-
dor, where, with the aid of an iron
bed-post, they quarried their way
through the thick stone wall into the
Jail yard from which they escaped by
scaling the wall. After their escape
at house in Portstown, they were
given a repast. A reward Of 500 is
offered for their capture. This
