On last Sunday at the closing exer

fi, Wallace proposed*that the BuMer
Sabbath schools join l lie Talbot ton.
(•eiicvn and other 3al»lr»t!i schools, on
an excursion party to Macon on the
•lib, of May* It was unanimously
adopted that all those who desired
to do so should join hi this cxcurson
which had been so liberally ex
tended to us, provided suitable ar
rangements could bo made. >V’t*
tear it is loo late, ns our people hvtre
been negligent in tills matter.
It was also proposed that wo have
aplc-iiin out at Picklin'* mill u few
miles from town, as it is the usual
custom, in a few weeks for the bnie-
llt of tho small childrcd.
On last Wednesday evening, tho

Butler like most other largo cities,
is blessed with a town clock, but it is
far different from most of clocks. It
is of a grayish color aud about tho
size of a common calf; its ears are,
about three fci.t in length, mid lias
four legs. With this splendid lime
piece some of our citizens say they
have no use for a watch, as it never
falls to give the alarm at every half-
hour.
The weather is decidedly cool at
this writing (Monday morning; but
we hope there will he no frost, the
nights are short, and the days are long,
so wo think wo are out of tho reach
of “Jack Frost.” Should wo have n
killing frost we hope our farmers will
plant everything In corn, for It Is the
opinion of the best informed men of
tho State, cotton will go to u very
low figure next fall, nail corn to a
very high one.

Jail Delivery.
TWO PKISONEltS ESCAPE.
Wo extract the following from
the Hamilton Jouimjal :
On Monday night las, just a lit
tle after supper time, Mr. Hen
Kimbrough, while passing near
the jail, heard a noise like the
drawing of a holt but thought it
tho jailor giving the prisoner's
their supper. But to his surprise
lie saw—the moon was shining
brightly—several tnon descending
thesteps nn the outside of the jail.
He at once commanded them to
halt, nml no sooner than spoken,
they flew in every diiection of the
jnilynrd, ami two s necudtd in get
ting over the fence that surrounds
the jail, which is about sixteen
feet high and making good their
escape, Mr. Kimbrough used ev
ery endeavor to Mop them within
the yard, l>y calling for assistance
and by throwing rocks at them
while on the fence. Ilesuccedcd,
lie thinks, in striking one of them
upon the hand and probably break
ing the fingers. Otto lie struck
the head ami knocked off the
high fence upon the insido of the
•aid. About this tiino several ol
l^o citizens came to Mr. K's assis
tance and found tbe remaining
prisoner bid under the steps.
There were otdy throe prisoners
confined in the jail, all colored,
and had been sentenced at tbe last
term of the Superior Court, to the
chain gang and penitentiary. Ed
mund Tell and Turner Dunlap
made their escape. The fovmer
