ESCAPE FROM JAIL

On Thursday afternoon, four prisoners escaped from the jail at Canandaigua. By some means they got up into the loft, and thence through a scuttle upon the roof, after which they lowered themselves to the ground by means of sheets taken from their beds. They then scaled the walls and went off. One of them was arrested at Fisher's Station yesterday morning, and brought to this place by an officer from Canandaigua. The others are still at large. Their names are Charles BALES, William DEMING, and Augustus GEER. They have been seen in this vicinity - at the first lock.
Sheriff HILD--- was away from home when the escape occurred.
****
For The Penitentiary - Yesterday morning James McCLARY was brought down from Geneseo, under sentence of ninety-five days imprisonment for petit larceny. He was tried before Justice VAIL.

FUNERAL OF GRIFFITH H. JONES

The remains of Griffith H. JONES reached this city by railroad, yesterday morning at 1 o'clock, via Suspension Bridge, and the funeral took place from his late residence on Asylum street, at 2 o'clock p.m. There was a large attendance. Members of the Prima Donna Boat Club acted in the capacity of bearers.
We learn that the accident by which Mr. JONES lost his life, occurred at Prince Albert, fifteen or sixteen miles from Oshawa. He was in a boat shooting with a relative. Having occasion to change his seat, he undertook to draw his gun toward him by the muzzle, when the lock caught on something, and the weapon was discharged, its contents passing into his vitals. He expired immediately.

Fire in North Bloomfield - The Union announces that on Saturday morning at 4 o'clock, the wooden building in North Bloomfield, Ontario Co., owned by John P. BROWN, was burned. It was occupied below by Mr. BROWN as a saw mill, and above by Allen & Buggy as a woolen factory, and Andrew FAIRCHILD, millwright. The entire building and machinery were consumed, notwithstanding the efforts of the citizens to save them.
The loss of Allen & Buggy on machinery and stock - including 700 to 1,000 yards of cloth and 7,000 lbs. of wool - is about $7,000. Mr. ALLEN is absent in New York and the amount of insurance if any, is not known.
Mr. BROWN's loss on building is estimated at $3,000. Partially insured.
Mr. FAIRCHILD - loss on tools, &c, will reach $1,000. No insurance.
The grist mill adjoining was badly, and only saved from destruction by great effort.
The conflagration is a serious blow to the town as well as a pecuniary loss to those most immediately interested.
The light of this fire was bright enough to cause an alarm in the city, and the Fire Department were called out and went to the south east until they found that the fire was beyond their reach.
****
The McLaughlin Elopement - On Saturday morning, Chief of Police WARNER received a despatch from the wife of Finnegan, who ran away with Jane McLAUGHLIN the other night, making inquiries about the affair, and the Chief answered immediately, giving all the particulars in his possessions.
It has been ascertained that the fugitives went to New York, whither Mr. McLAUGHLIN has gone in pursuit. Before starting he telegraphed to have them arrested for grand larceny. We understand that Jane carried away with her only $700 in money, besides the jewelry and silver plate in the house. As it was all held in her name, we do not see how she can be charged with larceny in carrying it off.
****
Another Boat Sunk - The canal coat P. J. MEYERS, from Buffalo, with over 6,000 bushels of wheat, sunk near the first lock, Saturday morning. In consequence as is alleged, of striking the bottom at some point within the city limits. The canal had been drawn down from six to nine inches, owing to the threatened break at Allen street bridge, and we are told that the boat was drawing more than five feet of water. About 2,600 bushels of wheat are damaged. Insured in the Corn Exchange Company.
Contractor DODGE had a gang of men at work getting the sunken boat out of the way, Saturday afternoon.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE FAT WOMAN

Betsey FEDENBURG, the fat colored woman who has been exhibited as a curiosity in various parts of the country for some time past, died suddenly at the Central depot in this city. Saturday forenoon. She had just arrived from Livonia by the Genesee Valley Railroad, and was on the way to her home in Lockport, in company with Mr. H. A. LOWNSBURY, her agent or managing man. On getting out of the omnibus at the Central depot, she complained of being faint, and sank down in a corner, where she expired in the course of two or three minutes after being attacked. Her remains were placed in a cart and removed to a barn in rear of Mr. JEFFREY's undertaking establishment, where Coroner BLOSA held an inquest. The jury found a verdict of disease of the heart.
The dead woman was apparently thirty-seven or thirty-eight years of age.
She was never married. It is said that she weighed between five and six hundred pounds.
****
A USEFUL ENTERPRISE

Mr. George MASSETH, of Canandaigua, has recently published a small and neatly got up pamphlet, which he calls a "Business Directory of the city of Rochester." It is in fact a collection of advertisements of various establishments, commercial, mechanical and so on, in this place, which he causes to be distributed, gratuitously, throughout the adjacent country, in such a way as to attract attention to the contents. This plan is an excellent one, we should think, and if the enterprise proves a paying one, further issues of the same sort will be made periodically.

BAILED - On Friday last, John BRENNAN was bailed out of the Penitentiary by John TRACY and Wm. CARROLL. He would have been released in due course of law, in ten days more.

The 8th of this month a man was found near Iowa city murdered.

SULLIVAN CONVICTED

It will be seen by the report of proceedings in the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, that Edward Sullivan was convicted of robbery in the first degree. It will be remembered that he was charged with despoiling a green countryman from St. Lawrence county named ADKINS, of some money and other articles. Two other fellows named TICE and VAN BUSKIRK, were engaged in the affair, and both are now in the State Prison on ten year sentences.
The case has dragged along two or three years, during a good part of which time, the rogues have been enjoying the sweets of liberty. VAN BUSKIRK and SULLIVAN broke jail once or twice each, and it was a long while after the robbery, before TICE was arrested at all. During some eight months the victim, ADKINS, was detained in jail as a witness, but at last he was discharged on his own recognizance. He has made four or five journeys since, from St. Lawrence county to this city, for the purpose of appearing to testify in the case. Several times the trials were postponed at the request of counsel for the culprits.
****
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE

A lad named GLOVER, disappeared from his home in Penn Yan several weeks since, under unaccountable circumstances. The Chronicle says that he is the son of Justus S. GLOVER, of that village, and the singularity of his absence is greatly increased by the quiet and amiable character he has always maintained.
He has always been highly esteemed as a good boy, in the just and emphatic sense of the term. His parents and friends would be much rejoiced to learn of his whereabouts, if well situated, and it would allay their anxiety to hear where he is in any event. He has now been absent several weeks, and nobody can imagine any good cause why he left home. Our contemporaries who notice the fact, will confer a favor on an afflicted family.

SHEEP STOLEN

Notice was given at the Police Office yesterday morning, that seventeen fat sheep belonging to Joseph POOL, butcher in Frankfort, were stolen from an enclosure on the Lyell road the previous night.

ANOTHER VICTIM

We regret to announce that our friends Mr. and Mrs. M. R. DOLE, of Churchville, have been stricken down by the loss of a lovely little daughter, who was taken from them by the tyrant Death, last Saturday. She had reached an age at which children are always most tenderly loved, before the blighting influence of earthly passions has robbed them of their innocence, while at the same time they are old enough to exhibit the germs of promise for the future. Such bereavements are crushing, and we have reason to know how utterly unavailing to comfort are human consolations and expressions of sympathy.
The disease of which this little girl died was diphtheria. This scourge is reported to be ravaging the households of many in various parts of the country.
Parents should be constantly on the watch for its incipient stages, and be prepared to combat it early.

LIFE OF GEN. GARIBALDI

This is an autobiography, translated by Theodore DWIGHT, and first published about a year ago, and is now again brought before the public, owing to existing disturbances in Italy, which have given to this champion of Italian liberty a place in public estimation second to no crowned head in Europe. The volume is embellished with a fine engraved portrait on steel, of GARBALDI, and should be in the possession of every one.

SEVERE LOSS

We learn that a man who came up on the direct road from the east at 1:40 yesterday morning, was robbed at Syracuse of $400 in gold. A despatch preceded the train, announcing the robbery, and officer Campbell was on hand when the cars arrived. He overhauled several parties who looked suspicious, but found nothing. The name or residence of the man who was robbed we could not learn.
****
FOR THE PENITENTIARY

John FIFER, was yesterday brought down from Ridgeway, Orleans county, and committed to the Penitentiary for one hundred and eighty days. He was convicted before Justice COLE of assault and battery. He has been up two or three times before, on similar charges, which accounts for the severity of his sentence.
****
POLICE COURT

Wednesday, Oct 18 - Frank McGOVERN was arrested for being drunk.
Discharged on account of the necessity of his family.

Wm. PRESTON, a canal driver, was arrested by the night police for disorderly conduct, but nobody appeared against him, and there was some doubt in the mind of the Magistrate whether he was the right person.

Patrick LEONARD, a backman, was complained of for leaving his team and carriage alone in the street. He pleaded guilty, and judgment was entered against him for $4,04, penalty and costs.

He struck upon a newell post at the foot of the flight, and broke several ribs, besides receiving some other internal hurts of a serious character. He had been upstairs to close a window, and in the darkness missed his footing. Being a large, heavy man such a fall could scarcely fail to result badly.

THAT SUPPOSED MURDER

The Buffalo Courier of yesterday contained the following about the supposed murder case on the Buffalo and Niagara Falls Railroad:
As the train of cars on the Niagara Falls Railroad, due here night before last at 7:30, had passed the curve this side of Tonawanda, the cow catcher of the engine struck a woman that was lying on the track, throwing her clear off the rails quite a distance. The engineer did not discover any one on the track until it was too late to reverse his machine. The body of the woman proved to be a Mrs. JACOBS, and no doubt she had been murdered and placed on the track, as upon examination her throat was found cut, and a severe wound in her head, made by some sharp instrument, was also discovered.
The Commercial Advertiser of last evening copies the above, and takes the sensation out of it by saying:
We have made inquiries during the day, and learned in addition to the above, that a Coroner's inquest was held on the body of the deceased in Tonawanda, when it was "found" that she came to her death in consequence of being run over by the cars. The wound in the throat, alluded to, was supposed to have been occasioned by a sharp projection on the fore part of the engine, and not to have been previously inflicted.
****
COURT RECORD

Friday, Oct. 19 - The case of George HAUCK who was convicted for manslaughter in the second degree, came to a termination this forenoon without being given to the jury. The prisoner was defended by Messrs. PERRY & BRAND, who moved the discharge of their client, on the ground that an indictment for homicide would not lie against an accoucheur when a child died before its birth. The court sustained this view of the matter and ordered the discharge of the prisoner. It came out in course of the case that the woman upon whom HAUCK attended has had two or three children, but neither of them was born alive.

Mary Jane PEART, the young woman who stands charged with forgery in the second degree, in obtaining money from the Rochester Savings Bank, by means of a spurious cheque or order, was put upon trial and the cause is still in progress.

POLICE COURT

Friday, Oct. 19 - James STEWART and Margaret STEWART were arrested for drunkenness and vagrancy. They were taken up the night previous, but promised to leave town, and obtained their discharge on that condition. This time they were sent up for sixty days. They had a little boy five years of age, who was committed to the County House.

SERVED ALIKE

Edward SULLIVAN, the robber, has been awarded precisely the same punishment with his associates in crime, VAN BUSKIRK and TICE.
They have been at Auburn Prison for some time, doing the State service, and on Saturday SULLIVAN got his ticket for the same institution. He is entitled to board and lodging for ten years to come.
These fellows were among the most notorious characters of the city, two or three years since, and around them rallied a host of satellites emulous of their fame. The gang has finally been broken up and the inferior members scattered various directions, but, thanks to the Court of Oyer and Terminer, the leaders are to be re united for several years to come, within the walls of the same establishment. Perhaps the "locals" of Rochester have reason to mourn their departure for the gang furnished material for numerous items.
We'll try and submit to the bereavement with good grace, however, and we know that the public generally will.
****
THE FORGERY CASE

As will be observed by the Court report, Mary Jane PEART, the young woman who was arrested in Cincinnati for obtaining money on a forged cheque purporting to be signed by her mother, was on Saturday acquitted in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. The charge of Judge JOHNSON was quite favorable to the prisoner. He seemed to think that she committed the crime under circumstances indicating that her husband coerced her, and the jury probably based their verdict on that ground. During the trial the defendant was apparently quite unconcerned about the result.

The Lyons Republican says, that the trial of MULDOON who was implicated with FEE in the murder of an unknown woman, in September 1859, will take place at the term of the Court of OYER and TERMINER, which commences in that village to-day (Monday).

Miss LYON, the young lady with whose attempt to commit suicide with a pistol, and the causes which led thereto, the public have already been acquainted, is pronounced convalescent. She seems in pretty good spirits and on Friday last sat up for the first time since her illness. Her recovery is most remarkable, considering the nature of the wound.
****
A post mortem examination of the body of Fanny WHITE - the noted New York procuress whose suspiciously sudden death has already alluded to - has been made by two physicians, who confined their examination to the heart, liver, lungs, &c., Omitting the stomach and intestines, and give it as their opinion that she died of apoplexy. Her friends, however, were not satisfied, and another examination is to be made by several distinguished physicians.
The N.Y. Sun says: "The evening previous to her death she appeared in perfect health, and witnessed from Bixby's Hotel, Broadway, near 10th street, the procession in honor of the Prince of Wales."

A Boston man, in a fit of ill-temper, locked his wife out of his chamber at night.

A YOUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH

A shocking accident occurred at the residence of Mrs. REILLEY, on Sunday afternoon, which resulted in the death of a young lady named Ann RAVELL.-
Miss RAVELL had just returned home from church and approached the fire blazing on the hearth. -
Upon turning around suddenly, the skirt of her dress, which was greatly expanded by hoops - took fire, and instantly enveloped her in flames.
Mrs. REILLY was the only person present at the time of the accident, and she became so panic stricken on witnessing the situation of Miss RAVEL as to be almost unable to render any assistance. Miss RAVEL, was well nigh smothered by the flames and smoke, with her clothes nearly burned from her body, rushed wildly from the room. Her sudden movement fanned the flames that were consuming her, and increased the misery she endured.
She had scarcely reached the open air when a heavy blanket was thrown over her body by Mrs. REILLY. The groans and cries of the sufferer were heart rending in the extreme; but the spectacle that was presented on removing the blanket was appalling. The whole body, from the feet to the neck, was frightfully burned. Dr. BAKER was immediately called, and proceeded to alleviate the sufferings of the girl. She died, however, yesterday afternoon.

ESCAPE FROM THE HOUSE OF REFUGE

On Thursday of last week, two boys confined in the House of Refuge, escaped from that institution. Their names are Barney MORAN and James MARTIN, and both were sent from Buffalo - MORAN for burglary and MARTIN for larceny, It is supposed that both have made their way to that city, or that they are on the road now. We refrained, at the request of Superintendent WOOD, from making their escape known in our Saturday's issue, in the hope that they would be retaken immediately, so that their return could be announced at the same time.
The time at which the young rogues escaped must have been soon after midnight, when the watchman in the hall was down in the basement replenishing the fire in the furnace. -
By some means they managed to unlock the doors of their cells, and then the door of the hall. Having thus succeeded in gaining the open air, they scaled the wall with the assistance of a long plank placed against it, and went off.
MORAN is about seventeen years of age, but is small sized, and looks younger than he really is. MARTIN is about fifteen. The former is a skillful burglar and picklock, notwithstanding his youth, and it was doubtless he that planned the escape and furnished means for its execution.

GAMBLERS AT ISSUE

Yesterday forenoon a chap named WALLIS - Jack WALLIS, we believe he is usually called - entered a complaint against one George CROMBIE, proprietor of a traveling faro bank, for gambling. It appears that WALLIS tried his luck fighting the tiger and got badly beaten in the encounter, losing considerably over one hundred dollars. Being a gambler himself, he ought to have stood his misfortune without flinching, as he would have expected his antagonist to do under similar circumstances; but his manliness would not carry him to that length, and hence his complaint. Various propositions were made to hush the affair up, but we understand that the accused was finally held to bail. Whether the bondsman are good for anything we do not know it is not likely that the case will ever come to trial.

EX - ALD. GEORGE W. PERRY

We learn that this gentleman, who has been laid up with a disease in one of his legs for two years past, went to New York a week ago, for the purpose of placing himself under the treatment of eminent surgeons in that city, and is now in the hospital there. Mr. PERRY accompanied him and will act as his nurse during his absence, which promises to be somewhat protracted.
Such an affliction as that which Ald. PERRY has been called to endure, is one of the severest that can fall upon a man of his active temperament and habits, and he has the sympathy and best wishes of the whole community.

SAVED

On Saturday night, the police visited the boarding house of Mrs. PURVIS, at the corner of Exchange and High streets, and took therefrom a young girl, whose parents reside in the town of Ogden. She was lodged in jail till yesterday, when her father and brother came to the city after her. From all we hear of the circumstances, she needs careful watching to keep her away from doubtful associations, and total ruin. For the present she is saved, however.
As the publication of her name can do no good, we withhold it. Possibly she may do better in future.

OFF FOR THE SOUTH

There was quite a gathering of gentlemen at the Central Depot last evening to bid adieu to Mr. John B. REILLY, for several years past a clerk in the dry goods establishment of J. Z. NEWCOMB & Co., but who has recently accepted the tender of a situation in a house engaged in the same trade at Mobile, Alabama.
Mr. REILLY has made many warm friends during his residence in Rochester, all of whom regret his departure, but hope to hear that he has bettered his condition by this change of location.

CAPSIZED

Two young men who would go out on the river above the dam last Sunday, in a small boat, were capsized, and rumor says came near drowning. Some of their friends deny it however, sad represent that they were rescued without difficulty.
****
CHARGE OF FALSE PRETENSES

A young canal man named Robert ARMSTRONG was yesterday arrested on a charge of obtaining $7 from LEWIS & PHILIPS, wood dealers in this city, by false pretenses. As we understand it, ARMSTRONG belonged to a boat which was bringing wood down the Valley Canal for that firm. The boat sunk and ARMSTRONG was sent to the city after $10. He obtained only $7, which he paid over to the Captain, but it is alleged that it was not properly applied. Why he should be arrested and not the captain of the boat, is not clear to our mind. He is in jail.
