a few days ago the News contained an
article in regard to a strange looking

wandering about the town OF Madison.

much speculation among the peaceful
residents OF that community and they
sought in vain for an explanation of the
apparitiOn. His prOclivity OF vanishing

fed the wisest heads. A few nights ago
he made his appearance at tho house
OF well known resident OF the place.
and when he was asked what he wanted
no did not respond. The owner OF the
house promptly fired at the stranger
with a pistol. and he promptly vanished.

IL would seem. SO far as the safe Gus
tody Of the prisoners is concerned, that
the money expended few years ago for
the purpose OF erecting a new jail was
decidedly poor investment; and from the
frequency and apparent ease with which
criminals have made their escape Ia re-
