A Desranatx Evrort ron Presnou—Spa#evt Recarrters. [From the Mopmouth (N. J.) Inquirer Extra.] Freenonp, N. J., Monday, Jan. 4, 1858. The murderer, James P. nelly, con! in the Monmouth county jail, under sentence of execution on Friday next, for the murder of Albert 8. Moses, at the Highlands, on the 23th of Aw last, effected his escape about 10 oe lastevening. The watchers employed to guard the jail for the night, Messrs. Obadiah Lamberson and James Brushanan, had not en- tered upon their duties when the escape took place. ' Their attention was first attracted by hearing a noize ss if a door had been shut in the jail part, whilst they were sitting in the front room of the Court House, which is occupied as a sit- ting room by the family of the jailer. (The jail is immediately in the rear of the Court House.) They at once went there and found the door of the prisoner’s cell iocked as usual. Upon looking around, however, they discovered the i.on door leading to the jail yard slightly ajar, and at once surmised that the prisoner had made his escape. and immediately entered his cell to ascertain. la There the bed presented rather an unusual appearance, a bolster having been placed 20 as to give the appearance of a man lying asleep. The chain with which he had been confined was also found in the cell, having been cut and left there. Thecell door had also been un- looked, as well as the heavy door opening into the jail yard, which is inclosed by a brick wall about 14 feet in height. A piece of wood had been placed against this wall leading to the window sill, from which the top was reached, an@ a ladder had been placed against the outside, by which the descent was made easy and safe. Up to this time this is the last trace of the prisoner, so far as we have been enabled to iearn. 4s soon as it was found that Donnelly was out the alarm was given, the Court-house bel! rung, and the citizens of the village gathered to learn the fact. Messengers were at once sent to Jamesburg to telegraph to New York, and to Keyport, and all the various stations on the route. The Jailor. Mr. Van Doren, was in the jaila few minutes prior to the time the escape must have been made but discovered nothing wrong. Doxsevty Recarturgp. P. 8. 54 o’clock.—Donnelly has been re- taken He was captured between this village and Keyport, by rv esas Lamberson and Chas. Conover, who met him on foot. They had heen to Koyport, and saw a boat standing on and off; and being satisfied that this was intended to carry bim away, they set out to search for him, and met him near the residenee of Mr. John W. Herbert. When told to stop, he paid no attention, but kept walking on, until Mr. Lamberson took hold of him, when he at once gave up, and was brought back to this place. He completely ex- onerates everybody connected with the jail Donnelly says he had a team cugaged to take him away, but they did not come; that he has spent a great amount ef money in the Cory fe whieh hus so signally failed, and boasts of his ability to pick any lock on the jail. He ap- pears to consider his capture due to the saga- city and perseverance of Mr. Lamberson, of whom he speaks in the highest terms of adii- ration. _ 2008+ THE LiTTLES MURDER. The Rochester Democrat published an acoount of the murder of Littles, which ie evident! based on the revelations of his wife. Ira Stow and Mrs. L. agreed that Littles was to be made ay with, though the motive for this is un known. On the evening in question the jealousy of the husband was excited, and he was led to believe he would surprise his wife in company with a paramour. z Mrs. Littles went to the ground below Falls Field, a little before 9 o'clock on the evening of Saturday. December 19, and was followed by Ira Stout and Littles—the former armed with an iron weapon, supposed to have been un- known to Littles, and the latter with a piece of cbair, found on the spot. On reaching the ground, a favorable position was sought by Ira, and the blows quickly given, which fell Lit- tles, and almost instantly proved fatal. Littles never had the opportunity to resist or defend himself, and the blows were repeated until he had almost ceased to strugzle. Tra immediately dragged the body to the pre- cipice, and not being familiar with the ground fell down with it, adistance of some thirty feet, his shoulder and arm striking #0 as to break the latter, as has been heretofore described. [n his terror he called to Mrs. L.. and she, not fully comprehending the cause or extent of the ca- lamity, star’ to go to bis assistance, and be- fore being aware of danger, she too went down the precipice, and in the fall broke her wrist, and sustained other slight injuries. The bruises upon Mrs. L.'s face, ae, were caused by the fall. Hor nose bled profascly, and her clothes were probably made bloody from this rather than by the biood from her murdered husband. Ira was for some time cntirely bel pless, having fainted away. He believed himself to be dying, and so told Mrs. Littles. He, however, recov- ered sufficiently to roli and drag Littles’ body to the water, assisted, we presume, (though of this We are not positively informed) by Mrs. Littles. The latter got down to the oblique path with great difficulty, and her torn skirts, broken combs, lost rosette, and the burs in her hair, are accounted for by this fall. and by the sub- sequent clamboring down along the steep bank, and then up the path to the stone quarry. appre eee eee aa Trials of a Young Lady.—Loved Two Deep- ly, Dut Lost A little plece of romance came before the Philadelphia Police Court on Tuesday last, which we copy in the hope that it may bea warning to you.g ladies who wish more than one lover at a time : A Miss Mary Tipton, a nice little dress ma- ker. has fur some tine been encouraging the address of two lovers, one a tailer named Feo- derman. and the other a grocery clerk called Henry White; she has kept each party in equal fuspense . Last evening, both lovers happened toeall at the same time; and. while they were waiting fog the object of their adoration to appear, Miss Mary, from an adjoining apartment, overheard & proposition made by Feoderman to his rival, that both should give up the pursuit in order that both might escape from the torment ofhope delayed, and that each might avoid the horri- fying possibility of seeing Mary united to the other. This sugzestion, which showed that jeslousy was a stronger feeling than love ia the bosom of the bors tailor, settled his fate at once. Mary burst into the room and*sacked”’ him on the spot. As soon as Feoderman had departed Miss Tipton turned to the pale and trembling grocery elerk, and threw him intoan extacy by ape that he was the elected of her heart. The tender scene which followed was brought to an untimely termination by the re-entrance of Feoderman, the rejected and infariated boss tailor, He had been to his shop, which hap- pened to be in the neighborhood. and brought away a | pair of shears, (one of the imple- pony his trade,) and cagne back with the avowed pur of executing vengeance on his successful thet Never it there a more fe- rocious boss tailor than this Feoderman. Amu- rath was a mere sucking lamb in comparison. As soon as the grocery clerk caught a» giiumpee of the gleaming steel and hear Feoderman, that remorseless boss tailor, express a determi- tion to cut off his ears, he fell on bis knees and Peary f renounced all claim to the hand and heart of Miss Mary Tipton. Nay, he pro- fossed himself ready to make a vow of perpetual eclibacy, and willing to swear by the river Stynx, that be would never look at a woman again. if Feolerman would agree not to bage any portion of his ears. The screams of Miss Mary, in the meaowhile, had brought in some of the police; but it was too late, the re- ereant grocery clerk had saved his hearing ap : VOL. XI paratus by a full and final renunciation of his Sweetheart. And so, instead of two beaux Miss Mary now has none at all. But she avenged rself, in a measure, by having Feoderman arrested, and bound over to keep the peace. -— WHAT'S THE USK? . Smith had made a purchase of a quarter gross box of matches, Wecuea,”? as he said, -‘ we should study economy in these times of no business and little money, and these cost only twenty-five cents at wholesale price, and would cost seventy-five at retail.’’ Jonea laughed at the idea, yet he acknowl- edged there was something in it; but when he saw Smith carefully marking his name and number on the box, he grew impatient at the delay, and wanted to know, ‘‘What’s the use?” “Why, in case I should lose it, the finder would know who it belongs to.”” Jones laughed immoderately; first at the sup- position that it would be restored if lost, and secondly, ‘ What’s the use, when you are going right up in the cars and will earry it yourself ? and your marking it looks as though you didn’t know where you live;and so you put your num- ber on your purchase to remind you. Yon are like the fellow I have heard of that pinned a guide-board upon his hat.’’ And thereupon Jones indulged hugely in a cachination at this explosion of his own wit. Smith replied : ** True, I am going to carry it myself, but I might forget it and Jeavo it in the car.” “Oh, fudge! allnonsense! Giye it to me, if you are so much afraid of your memory; let me carry it.”” So Jones became a common carrier for the time being, and the two went home together and dined comfortably, and by that time it was dark. and there was a call for gas-light as they came up into the hall. “Father, you promised to bring home some matches, if I would not buy any of the peddler. Did you? Where are they?” «Jones, where are the matches ?”’ a ~ Cents know. Didn't you bring ’emin?”’ **No:’ “Then. by thunder! they're left in the car!” “Then, by rain and mud, you put on your coat and hat, and take an umbrella, and walk down to the corner and get a two-cent box—for there is not one in thé house.”” _ Jones obeyed erders, for he felt a little down in the mouth, after bragging so much of his carefulness and non-forgetfulness, to think he had finally done just what he said he should not do. «I say’’—as he stood looking out into the pouring rain, he said—‘‘sha’n't I buy a box like that one, and done with’t ?”’ «What's the use? It will cost double what id; and besides, that may eome back ** Oh, fudge.”’ That was a favorite expression of Jones’; and the idea of the box coming back, tickled bim so that he laughed all the way to the corner and back, and for half an hour afterward. It tickled every ristble in his frame to think that a package like that should be restored. He laughed till he grew fat that night, and said, “ by thunder’’—another favorite expression of Jones—the next day, until he laughed again and again to think ‘how queer!’’—not “what's the use ?”’ of marking a bundle, when he read the following note : Orvrice 3p Avencg Raitnoap Compaxy, } New York, Dec. 11, 1857.

Second—That that road will make ten times the value of that bundle out of me for returning it. Third—The most careful person may sometimes be careless, and then he will learn what's the use to mark a bundle.” N.Y. Tribune. Allow me package. week by Ropinson Crusoe’s “Leviatnax.’’—The following ‘+hit’’ at the builders of the great steamship Leviathan (which cannot be laun- ched) is, as many readers will recognize, an extract from Defve’s delightful story of Robin- son Crusoe: “<I went to work upon this boat more like a fool than ever man did who had any of his senses awake, I pleased myself with the design without determining whether 1 was ever able to undertake; not but that the difficulty of launching my boat came frequently into my head; but I putastop to my own inquiries about it by this foolish answer which I gave myself: “Let me but make it, and I'll warrant I’ll find some way or other to get it along when itis done.’ This was a most preposterous method, but the eagerness of my fancy prevailed, and to work I went. I falled a cedar tree; and | ques- tion much whether Solomon ever had such # one for the building of the temple of Jerusalem. I was twenty days hacking and hewing it at the bottom. I wa# fourteen more gotting the branches and limbs, and the vast spreadin, head of it cutoff, which I hacked and hewe through with axe and hatchet, and inoxprossible labor ; after this it cost mea month to shape it. It cost me three months more toclear the inside. When I bad gone through this work, I was ex- tremely delighted with it. The boat was really much bigger that I ever saw acanoe that was made of one tree in my life. . Many a weary stroke it had cost, you may be sure, and there remined nothing but togetit into the water. It lay about one hundred yards from the water, and not more ; but all my devices to getitinto the water failed mo, through they coat me in- finitelabor too. This grieved me Reartil , and now I saw. though too late, the folly of begin- ning 4 work before we calculate the cost, and before we judge rightly of our own strength to go through with it.” SS SS eee L The farmers will brag as well as grum- ble. The weather is never just right, and their crops are all bound to be ruined ; but after they all are in, they do love to tell what famous ones they had, and how much work they did in no time at all gettingthemundercover. -“Out in Michigan, last summer,”’ writes a friend, “a number of farmers were sittin front of acountry store. at the close of a sultry day, and telling storiesabout their work, and so on, when one of them took the rag off the whole of them by relating hisexperience: ‘Tsay, you havetold whopping big yarns now; but I'll just tell you what I done once in York State, on the Gene- see Flats, and on my father’s farm. He owned a meadow just a mile long,and one morn- ing in June I began to mow—sun about an hour high—and mowed right along the whole length of the field. The grass was so heavy that T had to mow down to the lower end and walk, or, as we say, “carry my sw Well, I worked on till sundown, ‘cad thee quit. I just thought, as the meadow was exactly a mile long I'd count the swarths, and I did, and there was one hundred! That, gentleman, 18 what York State folks call a big day's work.’ ‘So you walked two hundred miies that day, did you?’ asked one farmer. ‘And mowed all the while you was walking?’ said another. ‘fo it seems. replied the mower. ‘TI tell you the facts, and you can make as much of it ag you can.” ” tH A letter to the Philadephia Inquirer frow New York says— I notice the arrival here of between one and two hundred boxes of bacon from Liverpool. The history of this shipmentis worthy of record. About 4 year and a half ago they were shipped from St. Louis, via New Orleans, to England. The market there not favoring a profitable sale, they were transported to Australia. Hereagair the market was glutted, which cansed a return of the lot to Liverpool ; but the state of affairs there induced the owners to deliver the bacon here, fur the purpose of being soaked, scfaped, and resmoked, and thus made ready again for the maket when prices shall revive. _ Special Notices, =.
