How THey Escarep.—It Brown and Parsons, the men who escaped from Prince County jail, between Sunday aight and Monday morning, as already ang nounced in THe Examiner, were confined in one room, in the upper part of the building. The Journal says they cut through the window casing, at the left hand side, close to the sill, first using their table knives, which are not to be found, and then a saw. They cut one board, about six inches thick, and sawed through the adjvining o.,e, about an inch and a half thick, taking a piece about eighteen inches in length from each. There being an empty space of from six to eight inches between the brickwork and the casing, and no bar next the casing, they had then plenty of room, by raising the window and doing a little cutting on the outside, to crawl through. From the win- dow it is only three or four feet to the top of the coal shed, which is flat-roofed, and from which the descent to the ground is comparatively easy. Itis yet a mystery, however, how they got over the wail sur- rounding the jail, unless they had outside
