The victory Of the Democratic party
in the nation is already making itself
felt. On Monday alady purchased some
stamps at the postoffice and rendered in
payment wildcat" $500 bill, issued in
August, 1852, by the Merchants Bank,
of Greensboro, Maryland. She appear.
ed greatly surprised when the postmas-
ter refused to reeeiveit, and was advised
by him to take it to the person who
gave it to her with the information that
the Democracy were not yet handling
the reins of Government. The bill had
evidently seen but little use and had
been brought from retirement by some
one who imagined that the Democratic
victory made his bill good. 1t will not
be put in circulation again until after

G,mrgn Eryia. the Horse Thief, Saws
His Way Out oc the Al:eget! Jail.

The insecure condition Of the county
Jail and the ease with which any one
can gain freedom was made evident last
Friday night, when George Erwin sawed
through the bars and made his escape
good, hours before any one was aware
of his departure.
Erwin is "good man" who stole
horse belonging to John Bowers from in
front of Bowers store on the 10th of
last month He was arrested at Green
field the following day by the Marshal
and brought here, and has since been
occupying the north cell on the second
floor of the Jail, the window opening in.
to the Jail yard.
Three other prisoners, John Grant,
Frank Cowman and Ed. Tillinghat, were
in the cell with him Friday night. Sat
urday morning four breakfasts were
taken to the cell and the jailer was Civ.
en- no intimation but that there were
four breakfasters to partake OF it, but
| about half-past nine the Sheriff was
called to the cell and informed that
Erwin was missing. An investigation
quickly followed and revealed the fact
that he had made his escape by saving
through the heavy iron bars across the
window and letting himselfte the ground
by means OF rope made from the bed
clothing. Five bars had been sawed off
as smoothly as the most expert mechanic
could have done and Erwin squeezed his
way to liberty through the 6xl2 opening
thus made. The other prisoners at first
disclaimed knowledge of the time Of
Ervin's exit, but afterwards said that he
had left about three O'clock.
Erwin took his instruments along with
him, but one Of the prisoners on Sunday
revealed the fact that the work was done
with a saw made from case knife by
Ed. Massie, the Samantha fire bug, who
is awaiting trial. Nothing has since
been heard of Erwin.
LATER Erwin was caught at Green
field Tuesday night.
What might have been another sue
cessful attempt at breaking Jail was
thwarted on Sundayby Sam Douglass,
the New Boston knife user, who inform.
ed the Sheriff OF the fact that an attempt
to get out would likely be made by Ed
Massie and that Massie had in his pos
session a lot OF powder which he intend
ed to use in some way. Sheriff McCon
naughey made search of the cell and
found a pound package of powder which
he appropriated. 1t is supposed to
have been brought in by Ed. Cowman
corporation prisoner, and there is MOI
the slightest doubt but that Massie in
tended to use it in some way in making
his escape.

idea of its magnitude when they learn
