Last Monday an idle darkey, whose
bond for assault and battery had been
made good by Mr.. J. H. Jones, was de-
livered to the sheriff by that gentleman
because be would not work. Mr.. Tay-
lor was in Sardis, but his representa-
tive chained the sluggard to a post,
after bandcutiings him. About half
past six the prisoner saw chance for
liberty by breaking the chain which
confined him, and made bis. escape,
carrying the eshacdcuds With hin. The
officers don's care so much for q lazy
law breaker, but it is pity to lose .
good pair Of handcuffs. -Panolian. Y

rious Sol. Mitchell, inc negro car-rob.

he waited quietly until the train reach
cd point two or three miles south pf
the city. He then begun his opera
tions, and attempted to throw goods
from the cars, intending to return and
.remoye them. Being discovered, how
ever, be sprung from the train, and
though apparently hurt by his leap
and fall, managed to make his escape.
