GEN. HENRY'S RETIREMENT.
From the Quebec Chron!cleD

y. -
II Is with the greatest regret n regret
which will be fully shared In by the clti-
zens Of Quebec that We learn that the
popular consul Of the United States In
this city has sent in his resignation to
Washington. which has been accepted,
and his long service here Will he ternt-
mated by the arrival Of his successor.
Mr. Gerhard Willrich about the first of
August next. The general took up his
Official duties here In September 1877
and his ~ years service has been mark
ed by singular ability and energy, and
by q tact and courtesy which has won
golden opinions from all with whom ne
came into official contact. In his private
capacity he has attracted tho esteem and
cordial good will OF all who have had
the pleasure OF his acquaintance Gonial
and unassuUing, and of great kirdlncss
OF disposition. he has entered heartily
into our private life, and had become
one Of ourselves. The government OF the
United States will lose valuable SER
want here though we are happy to learn
that II will st!ll command his services In
another sphere In Washington. and the
citizens Of Quebec will mourn for the
loss of good friend whose sterling
worth they have long learned to appre-
ciate highly.

What angels leaned from out the sky
In years when youth was more than

And man and nature seemed divine,

How insubstantiai looked the earth,
Aladdin-land! In each advance.

And nothing then but had its worth,
Even pain Yes, pleasures still and pain

A lovers quarrel. happy strife

Even to his grave bed has he gone
And left me lone to wake by night
With heavy heart that erst was light 2

DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK.
Fred Muir Walked Out of Jail when
I!c WINS Ready TO Go.

II WIS disct vered Thursday morning
that Fred Muir. prisoner in the Chit
tendpn county jail. had escaped some
time during the previous night.
The escape OF the prisoner Is not a
credit to the manner OF construction OF
the new jail Muir wrenched one of the
iron brackets from his bunk in the base
ment and first attempted to wrench the
iron screen from his cell window. He
abandoned this effort but succeeded
with the bracket In prying tho
coll door open. Ordinarily he
would have met with difficulty there
after but the Jail has settled to such an
extent that it is impossible to lock tho
basement door so the prisoner opened It
and was free. Muir was alone and con-
soquent!y his efforts We're unheard.
Muir has a bad record He was serv-
ing a term of rs days for stealing q BIZ
cycle and was held also on charge OF
grand larceny for stealing another. on
his way between the court room and Jail.
following his hearing, Muir escaped from
tho officer In charge bu; was recaptured
before he had made much progress to-
ward liberty.
