large standing reward turned the peas
ant population of the surrounding coun-
try 1nio volunteer army of man-hunt-
ens, but fortune made amends for her
former spite, and the fugitive reached
the Austrian border by one of the few
mountain trails that were not closely
guarded. Frederic Trenck, Il is true
was a giant, as well as an athlete, and
one of the responsible sentries protested
that they might as well have tried to
stop a rampant steer. The Risk of q
hand-to-hand fight with the desperate
6-footer may have helped to improve the
chances of his escape, but little Andrew
Bretano, the Ecapegoat of the italian
liberals, achieved a similar miracle by
sheer cunning. He had been wounded
too, and was shaken by Intermittent fe-
vers, but that very circumstance fur
nashed him the basis of a successful
Stratagem. HIS friends spread the re-
port that the little champion of the Car
bonari was dying, and one evening that
runlor appeared to be confirmed by the
arrival of a Mantua priest who obtained
permission to prepare The Inflated pa
triot for the approaching end of his
earthly career. The confeSsor was ac-
companied by a stranger in the uniform
of a regiment that had bsen garrsoned
in Mantua that week. That stranger

from yellow fever have occurred in

the city is estimated at this time to
be 410,S as against S21, 1854 according

of Feb. 10 last the vice consul says:
The total number of deaths has de-
creased from ], oil last week, to 1,72S
for the week under report, but as the
exodus still continues, this difference
is believed to be accounted for by q
corresponding decrease of the poDula-

is confirmed by the low birth rate. The
