MAKING MONEY OUT OF HIMSELF.
correspondent states that a nan of the name of Pcderscn, a native of Tutland, who some time ago committed a louble murder of a horrible description, escaped last week from the prison in -which lie was confined by overpowering his jailers. I he announcement of this fact caused a great panic in the neighbourhood, but as a reward was offered for his apprehension it was hoped that he would soon be recaptured. A couple of daysafter, overcome by fatigue and hunger, he found his way to the house of a former comrade, to whom he made the extraordinary proposition of accompanying him back to prison, and thus earning the promised reward. His friend consented to oblige him, and after having smoked the pipe of peace and emptied a glass over the -bargain, the two worthies retired to rest. The next morning they took the train to" Hobro, where the murderer has since been tried and condemned.
