We look on the exploits of Jack Shep- pard as, 111 the main, =sustain fiction; but, all be same, there ere recent in,' stances of similar daring. A young Ftench-Canadian named Thhodeau was messed for theft, and senteneed to twelve mantles in the Ballueet (New Brunswielc) Prison. Presently began A series of mysterious burglaries in hous- "95 rem the prison. For the life of them, the kcal pollee could make nothMg of the case. Then, one night, a warder was amezed to see a man breaking into Ilia prison. He watched, him crawl up a eloping roof. and. climbing a light- ning conductor, eventually eater the weedow ot Thibodemes cell. Posting a guard outside, he rushed up. Thibadeau was apparently. asleep in his hammock; but, puring off the blanket, l'he warder Lound that the man was fully dressed, and that there was wet anud on his elates. Thibodeau vvas the burglar, and eventually all the stolen goods were diseavered, hidden in a holo in the floor of lea cell. Thibodeau's exploits are inexplicable, for he could never have hoped to re- move unseen such a mass of valuables as he had accumulated. A Spaniard - or, rather, Basque -named Etchecopae, who was eel/Vinod in the gaol at Oleron, in the Pyrenees, was much nere cute. One night he wrenched the bars out or a narrow skylight In his cell, squeezed through, and made for the chief war- der's room. Here he p0110 gold watch, O revolver, and the prison key. In the office below he found three more watch. ee, some other jewellery, and snoney. Packing ,these in a bag, and changing his clothes for those of a warder, he calmly walked out of prison, end es- caped, IN THE PRISON CHAPPEL. Even English pekoe discipline, strict as it is, cannot altogether prevent the carrying out of thaw terribk and ap- parenely causeless vendettas so com- mon in the eonviet werld.
