That UnIucky Number.

The Jail in this county now has the
unlucky number OF prisoners-thir-
teen-confined within its walls. But
notwithstanding the supposed am
luckiness" of the number there are
no fears entertained that any of the
number will quit the institution on
that account
The entire number OF prisoners are
awaiting the sitting of the district
court, which will pass upon their
cases at an early date. The offenses
represented in the citizenship of the
Jail comprise almost all known, or
dinary, everyday offense-arson and
treason alone excepted. Murder,
burglary, petit and grand larceny,
rape, highway robbery and so on,
are all represented on the list.
