note on the odd custom among the

animal devices, usually pigs. An in

nITING ON THE GULF.

Accepting the Hospitality OF that
prince Of good fellows, Col. Raymond
Cay, it was my happy privilege to
form one of as merry party as ever
glided over the briny deep on pleasure
bent Taking the cars, 1t was not
long before we were at st. Marks, one
of the Oldest ports in the United
states, from whence in ante-bellum
times over $4,000 bales of the fieecy
staple went to New England and Eu-
ropean ports yearly. Taking the
steamer David Hill, commanded by
Captain Turf, with Admiral Cay CHIEF
in command, assisted by Captain Cay
Mccall, the party was soon on their
way up the beautiful st. Marks River,
bound for Newport. After remaining
there a short while fishing, we
started for the light house, reaching
there in about one hour. What feast
was spread before us by the charming
wife Of the admiral in command! The
menu fit for a king-diamond back
terrapin soup, fish, oysters, crabs,
turkey, melons on ice, wines and
lemOnade-delicac of every kind.
Two of Tallahassee's most charming
young ladies, Misses Hall and GenO-
Mr, were with the party, and their
presence added much to the happy oc-
casion. After spending several days
cruising around with gentle breezes
night and day, how regretted to
have to part company with so pleas
ant a party. Long In memory will
this happy occasion be treasured up.

THREE PRISONERS ESCAPE.

Last Thursday three negro prison
ers escaped from the Leon county Jail,
and up to this writing have not been
recaptured.
It seems that, as usual, Jailer Strick-
land went to the door and ordered one
of the prisoners to bring out the buck
ct of slOps, which he did. AS Strick-
land stopped over to take up the
bucket, the prisoner seized him from
behind and called out "a1l right, %
when two other prisoners who had
concealed themselves in the bath
room, rushed out and all then over
powered Mr.. Strickland.
They then made their escape, al
though Strickland recovered himself
in time to send several shots after
them, one of which he thinks took
effect.
Two of the negroes who escaped
were charged with assault with intent
to commit murder, and the other for
burglary. They were Jim Roland, who
shot Will Edwards. He is nearly
black, between % and "a years old,
and about 5 feet inches in height.
He weighs 14O to 155 pounds, and has
a round, full face with a mole on
one cheek. He has pretty white teeth,
and smiles when spoken to, and is
thought to be wounded with SO pis-
tol ball.
Dan Bivins, the other negro, charg-
ed with murderous assault, for the
shooting of Bob Edwards, is black;
from IS to 40 years old; about feet
8 inches in height, and weighs from
14O to $50 pounds. He has scar
commencing on the nose and extend
ing around and about one-half inch
beyond the left corner of the mouth,
and has also scar on the left side OF
his head. He can grow good beard
or mustache.
VIII Myers, in for burglary, is ginger
cake in color, between "a and % years
old; about feet inches in height,
and. weighs about 135 to 145 pounds.
His nose is inclined to be Roman. He
has small scar on bridge of nose,
and two small scars over left eye.
