JAIL DELIVERY.
On Sunday morning last at about 10:30 A
M, the good people of this town were some
what startled to leiru of tho escape of an in
mate of the comity jail. The shorill' has al
ways locked the prisoners in the cells at
night, hut iu the day time allowed them to
remain in the large room, with shackles on.
There were two prisoners in jail one, Mc-
Namerra, who was recently recaptur-id in
Portland, and Harry Wise, who some time
since robbud tho residence of Mr. W. C. Ed
wards, near Junction City, and was bound
over iu the sum of 1400 bail. They man
aged, while nobody was in hearing to pry off
a board from one of the door jams, aud then
used the board for a battering rain knocking
out tho stone wall; and succeeded iu a short
time in making a large hide in ti c wall. Wise
succeeded iu removing his shackles and at
once mude his escape. While passing along
the struct north of the jail, he was recog
nized hy a boy, Master Andrew Huff, who
gave the alarm. A crowd at ouce left aud
scoured the woods near the city, but no ciue
. .... ...... i
was. touna nl ine escaped prisoner. mo
Ntifjarra did not go out of tho jail, as ha had
a 13 pound shackle on, which alone pre
vented his escaping also. The shackle Wise
bad on had previously been woru by Mc
Nemirra, but he repeatedly took them off so
he was given the hea-y one. It seems strange
to us that the Sheriff did not procure anoth
er shackle, after knowing that the one he
had on Wise was worthless.
The authority .a should at once take action in
regard to building a now jail, or repairing
the present one, so at least it would hold a
man without any assistance whatever but
bis hands.
Be Caheh,l. The, prestntcondition
c urtiwii, relative to tie natter of safety
fro.n fire, demand the the strictest care aud
precaution on the part of our citizuiis to
prevent a disastrous blaze. There are peo
ple iu this world who. take nOf cognizance of
timely admonitions, and are mads to realize
their situation only when overtaken by the
dire calamity against which they have been
warned.. A Fire Warden should certainly
be appointed at once, who should notify
property owners, esitfdally on Willamette
street, U clear their rot.fs of moss, at a spark
might kindle a fire that would destroy thous
ands of dollars worth f property.
Window Smasher An obstreperous in
dividual by the name of August Hooestrom
was arrested one day this week by Marshal
Attebery, who escorted him to the city jail,
but when said individual objwted to biug
put in the cell, and resisted the officer, Mar
shal Attebery locked him in the front room
and went to the Court House for !ielp. When
he returned he found that Hooestroni had
broken every glass in both windows and waa
in the act of climbing out. Thursday be
was tried Wore Justice Henderson, who sen
tenced him to pay fine uf $25 or 12
days imprisonment in the conoty jaiL He
chose the latter.

Senator Orover, writing ts the New York
World from Danville, says: In your issue of
yesterday under the head of "Lonely death
of Senator G rover's aged mother," you repub
lished an article from the lawrence (Mass.)
American,, might give a false impression in
relation to the death of my reverend mother.
It is true that at the time of her death she
was alone, aud of late years has much pre
ferred to live much to h erself. But it is
not true that she was desolate or lonely in
any sense of these words. She owuod her
own house, which was ample and hail ample
means to sustain it. She kept a room fully
furnished and ready all times for each mem
ber of her family, whether present or absent.
Servant were always ready when needed,
and her bouse was always open to relatives
aud neighbors. She was ho pitabld to the
poor. She was a prisoner of the war of 1812
her husband, the late Dr Grover, having
served as an assistant surgeon iu that war.
He waa surgeon-iu-chief of the forces of
Matue called out by Guveroor Fairchild to
settle our northeastern boundary with Great
Britian in 1S37. He waa one of the framers
of the coustitiou of the great State
of Maine, aud served iu hilh brauches of her
legislature. Since the death of her late hus
band a sou has resided uear her, aud has
been accustomed to visit her every morning
and evening every day until last June, wheu
be went west, at her suggestion, on a tour,
leaving his mother in her usual good health.
One of her sons, General C Groyor, United
States Army, visited her during the present
month with his family, aud had gone but
two days when her death occured. He re
turned at onco. I was to visit her with my
family in September, but her sands of life
had run, and she lay down to rest as if in a
Jeep. Her brother writes: "She had aris-
eu Sunday morning and dressed as usual, and
wouud Hip her clock, and probably feeling
tired went to lay on her bed in her morning
wrapper, and died without thinking any
thing unusual was, about to. happen. She
died as ishe always said she wished to, qui
etly .without knowing anything about it."
She was no recluse, but took au active part
in the interests of society about her. She
read the puhlis journals ai.d kept up thecur
rcut of public affairs. Her correspondence
with absent members of her family was con
stant up to the timo of her death. . She ad
vised her soi.s in public and business affairs
and her advice was always sound. Shu was
a life long conimunicaut or the church. Hor
faith was a certaiuty to her, rnd her works
followed her faith. Fortunate he who lives
and dies as well.
