OOO.  A rnrsoNen named Madeley escaped from Strange. w qaol, Manchester, on Vlrednesdsy. He was awaiting* trial at the &Asians, and WAS ernol,ted with thee man in repairing the chimney stack of the engineer's house. A ladder was reared against the side of the house, and a ert ladder, twelve feet in length, placed oil the roof. When the work was completed, the warder directed Madele.y to throw the cat ladder into the yard, but instead of doing that, Madeley dropped the la bier over the reverse side of the house, slid down the roof and down a pipe at the side of the building, talting the ladder with him. He then ran past the scaffold, and reaching a wall which divides the w Iris, he scaled it by means of the ladder, ran along it to the boundary wall, then tied the ladder cord to one of the spikes, slid down the ladder, and dropping into the street, made off. Tut representatives of the press who gathered in Dubliii during the investigations at Kilmainham have, it appears, been playing practical jokes on two or three of their number. In one case spurious threatening letters were sent to the :representative of a London newspaper, awl so terrified did he become at the fate which was said to await him as "the Saxon emissary" of a brutal race that ha fled from the city and recrossed the Channel without delay. In another instance the repreaottative of a Scotch newspaper was made the victim. lie was first of all sworn a member of a spurious secret ,oc:ety, with a theatrical accompaniment of pistols cud knives, and then tchosen one o: a select inner circle" who were to "remove" an objectionable personage. When this paint had been reached, the Scotch reporter also thought it discreet to take marching orders. Lysol LAW is still in full fore; ~it Weet.

At I lawarden, durin4 the last 14 days, there have been only 11 casuals as compared with 77 in the corresponding week of last year.
