S. C., March, B.—One .of ‘the most adroit escapes known in criminal history was effected - here by lucky Joe Wilson, a famous chief of a gang of desperados in ffcsting this state. Wils;? was, aftep Lmzmy fights, canght, and after a trial sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary. On Tuesday his cotn sel obtained an appeal to the Su preme court. Barly this moriing the warden of the jail enteredt his cell and found Lucky Joe lying on his mattress, which was suffused with blood, as was the prisoner’s shirt and moutl. His cyes were wide open staring, his jaws tallen and his limbs cold. Help was sum moned and the body was carried from the cell into an outhouse and laid out for burial and placed in a plain coffin. : The mother mnd sister of the de ceased stood by the coffin and wail ed his untinfely énd. At dusk this 'evening, when every one had left the apartment gave his sistcF, she was horrified to secthe corpse rige from the coffin, put s hands omiouslykon his Yips and bolt from the room into the night she i sereamed and f:il,ill‘[()(l. The ruse was not di:;(:ovur(;fl' until an hoyr after Lucky Joe hdd succeeded in elu ding all pursdit. A visit to his cell showed how artfully the exéape had Ibeon plannéd.

[SLAND SHOALS GEORGIA. On an adjoining fwrn Mr. Sam- McDaniel, a young farmer, was inthe field plowing. Hiz plow canght if some obstricetion. Urging the mule, he found that the plow caughtin the handle of five gallon jug, which was slowly pulled out of the ground. The jug had a cork stopper sealed wax; and a piece of tin doubled over it, with a wire fastened round it, snaking it per fectly secure. McDanicl was anx ious to krow what was inthe jug, $o "taking hig heelscrew off his plow and twisted off the wire. This enabled him to take out the cork. He then placed the Jug on a ‘stumyp, and applyirg his lips tasted the best brandy he' ever saitipled. So captived was he that he drank several times, dnd at last the lig wor overcomidg hiih, he slipped down asleep at the foot of the stump. Failing to coute to dinner, his mother wenlt to the ficld aftter himt, when he was about waking up. They gave the jug andther examination, when Mrs: M- Daniel’B attention was dttracted to its grest weight. An ilivestigition showed the preghnee df 1,900 five dollar goid piecs, nlaking 4 total of s6s(h. ; " The mystéry was clearedup ina singuar manner. McDaniels grand father was a captdin in the [Flori da war. It was known that he was wealthy before he left. On news of his deatli in one of the battles with ‘the Indians, his heits could find no track of his money. The fact years aftér his only grand-¢on and heir should hate his foitune is a singular incident. The finding of this jug léads td the hope that there may be others, and the pliyving of that field is watched with interest. Woi.
