Escarr or Convicts and THEIR RecaPtuRR.— Two convicts made their escape from the peni- tentlary yesterday afternoon at 43, o’clock —Fugett and Atwell—both employed fn the broom shop. The officer attached thereto is Wm. B. Maxwell, considered an eiticient officer. It iscustomary, in order for safety, to have the offal of the broom corn removed to the stable outside of the prison, to be converted into compost for the use of the arden. The offalis generally put into a large ig and conveyed to said place, accompanied by an officer. Maxwell being the officer incharge of this department, went with the two convicts men- tioned, and in a minute or two found them ab- sent; butgaining their track, although ahead of him, brought both back in the course of half an hour. Both parties waded through the swamp waist deep. Ender the circumstances, the ofticer is certainly deserving of much credit for his in- trepidity. Surraeme Covat—Thursday.—Jas.M.
