An article on the downfall of the French Empire, by United States ex-Minuter Washburn, will appear in the opening cumber and will be of special interest.

Ou Saturday uiht lam the piisouers iu the jail at Trenton, Junes county. made their escape. Only two were con fined at the time, John Green, col., ender seiitence of death for burglury aud George Jones, white, sent there by the U. B. district court and l.o had served out his term several days ago nut no order for his release had been sent. How they escaped seems to be a mys tery. The jailer, in converaation with JOURNAL representative on Monday, stated that he attended the jail on Sat urday eveuing and fed the prisoner as usual. Oreen was locked up in the cell while Jones was allowed privileges out side the cell. lie says he locked the cell and outer doors as usual and car ried the keys to Mr. Brogden's store and deposited them in the safe where they were usually kept. Sunday morn ing he went, about 0 o'clock, to feed them but found the cell door unlocked abd the window in the outer wall pried open where they made their escape. The mystery is, how wes the cell door unlocked. Homleld. Ain.U's F.rrr. Cupt. Dickson, of the steamer A'tn- ston, informs us that a homicide was committed at Bell's Ferry on Saturday last. The particulars, as nesr as we oould gather from Capt. Dickson, are a follows: A "considerable crowd being at tie Ferry on Saturday, Christopher Bland was appoioted special policeman. Dar ing the day he arrested a young man named Brooks for disorderly conduct, and while trying to take him to the lockup,' John Cannon conoeived the Idea Of releasing him, regardless of law Against the persuasion of hie friends ; tot to interfere, he went to Brooks assistance and in his efforts to rescue mm received a mow on tne bead from policeman Bland which felle4 bim. . He was taken to the resi dence of Mr. Summerel, near Jolly Old Field, and a physlolsn summoned. Ban- day morning at about 8 o'clock be died. A coroner's jury viewed the body and rendered a verdict that he came to bis death by a blow from the hands of an officer in the performance of his duty; J J ' " - l- -' - km Item f.r Sr. Barker. . There setms to be quacks and frauds among phrenologists as well as all other professions. We don't know what Dr Barker would do .with the cast of a turnip or a dead man's head, but we do knew that when' be measures and puts his hands upon a live head be can tell something about the character of the person who carries it The folio' ing is from an exchange: '.''" . ' Some time ago an Englieh trenUeman found a large turnip in his field of the shape of a man's head, and with the resemblance of the features of a man. Struck with cariosity, he bad a cast made of it, and sect the cast to a pbre- nolngift, stating that it was taken from the head i f a celebrated proiessor. and required en opinion tbeieon. After sitting in judgment, it was reported that it denoted a man of acute mind and deep research, that he had the orean of quick perception, and aleo of perwveriee. wish another that indi' cated credulity.

It. We ure informed that the managers of thu A. & N. C. Railroad have begun n ot a Hlivudy to lebuilu the warehouse atMoiehead City. The old one it is said whs not suitable for the business; the inrrettse uf business at that point euld have made it necessary for the compauy to erect an additional house soon, hut since the old one has been buruud down a larger and more com modious one can be erected on the spot. It will he built of iron and wood and will be almost tiro proof. The loss, it iasaid.inthe burning of the old one, will bo comparatively small to tbe Company.

The road bed between New Berne and Morebead City is being thoroui(hly drained and put in first class order. Willi these improvements, if the receipts will pay for them within tbe next two years, the road ought to begin payings dividend. Tbe Journal has long contended that it is a valuable piece of property. It is only necessary to stop sgitating the question of dis posing of it and run it a few years jnst as a man w 'uld his private business to demonstrste the troth of this.
