HON. B. F. HA YENS.

(Special eorru iondeno« Cineianati Eaquirer] Indianapolis, Jan. 16,1876. Among the most promising and inflnentia) members of the democratic aide of the Indiana legislature, is Hon. B. F. Havens, a member of the house from Vigo county, and a prominent citizen of Terre Haute Mr. Havens came to the front on tb« first day oftbe session, as the author of the resolutions on the Louisiana troubles, and his participation in the debate on those questions, and his action in the subsequent business of the house, stamp him as one of the leaders of his party. Havens is a Hooeier all over, having been born in Rush county. He is about thirty-five years of age, married, tall, slightly built, of fine figure and winning presence, auburn hair, light beard, beaming eyes, honest, sincere face, nt-al dress, nervous, restless manner ih debate, distinguish a man that would l^e selected by the observer as one of the ablest among the one hundred thatconstituVe the bouse. Havens is a lawyer of extensive practice in Terre Haute, and has filled the ofiice ef prosecuting attorney of that city hut with that exception, he has never filled any place of public tiuat, until his inauguration as a member of the legislature. His want of experience ,8% a parliamentarian and legislative business is a drawback, but his honor, ability and sincerity give him a place in the estimation of members of both parties which is not tossessed by men who aspire to the leadership on account of their long lesri.lative experience. There is rot a par ic of tne demagogue in his make-up, and while he may blun dtr and commit errors of judgment, he never vacillates or truckles to the stronger side because he thinks it better to be with the winner? but, conucientious and blessed with a nice sense ot honor, he is always guided by wbat he deems to be right. While many others tremble at the frown of the gr inger specter, which iBSucli a terror in Indiana politics, and are eager to obey its bidding, right or wrong, he has bad the manliness and courage to Hpeak out boldly in debate and

rebuke

thin truckling spirit and, while

Ii UDIFER'S ESCAPE.

[LouUvil Courier Journal, January 15.] Some people in Jeffersonville, in fact, many of ihem, could hardly credit the report that became current early in the morning, to the eflect that the notorious and d^re-devil prototype of Jack Shepperd—we refer to Wm. Rudifer, Esq., of the state prison south—had once again escaped the clutches of hia captors. In tact, an amusing joke was got off on sev eral inquisitive gentlemen, who asked how Rudifer got out, and consequently the rumor of his escape was disbelieved for a long time. But it finally proved to be true that, notwithstanding Rudifer wore a chain and ball around his legs, that he had escaped. He was missed at breakfast time yesterday, and since then, despite all search, he has not beeu found. There is an air of mystery about his disappearance the manner of his escape, the time, and the part of the prison from hich he gained his liberty, are unknown.

In this .successful luck of Rudifer's he only verified what he at all limes said sincc hi* last capture, lhat he would get free upon the first opportunity. A reporter of the Courier-Journal called upon Col. Shuler, warden of the prison, last evening, and found him considerably worried about the mysterious disappearance of Rudifer. This young desperado was not let out of his cell, as stated in last evening's News, but got oat himself. Col. Shuler says lhat he has taken every po*ible precaution to secure the presence of Rudifer. In order to do this, he took Patrick Haley off the wall, as the warden considered Haley the best guard he had It was Haley's duty to look after Rudifer and several other desperate men, who wear a baU and chain. Yesterday morning the prisoners were taken out oi their cells, as usual, far breaki.ist, but Rudifer was left in his cell. After Haley had attended to this doty, he went to breakfast, and was not gone over forty minutes at the outside. He went to Rudifer's cell to take him out, when it was discovered that the slippery Jack was gone. The alarm was given immediately, and a thorough search was instituted over the entire prison and yard adjoining, but all in vain, Rudifer was not to be found anywhere. His cell door was found with the lock broken off, and the ball and chain sawed off his leg. There is an air of mystery about this desperate escape. Some one of his friends threw a small steel saw la his (Rudifer's) pell and this was the instrument that did the important work. But how did he get out unobserved? Col. Shuler's theory is, he had his cell all ready for opeataft by day Ugh and that, watching his chance, he stepped out of his cell, aad entered another one, and went out with aaotW gang where h« Would not he lxA«d for. the custom of the men going out on such mornings as yesterday, to mill their coats up over tbdr face*, an-d this would b« a good excuse for Rudifer to hide hisiaca.

But how did Rudifer get outside the prison wslls?~~-if Ira got ont stall, W the warden thinks, at thus writiog» that Rudifer is still With hi the ptisoo wrnik. He must have gone out under a coal wagon thai passes oft of the rear of the pxison at about half six o'elock. Rudifer had arrangements made to out on the east side of the prison, but that was frustrated. Colonel bhuler thinks Rudifei may be hid by his friends somewhere in the prison, and may be under grontfd, A sharp surveil lance was ordered to be kept last night to prevent his escape if he Is in the prison limits* It is wonderful what faculty of co»tafWhication these convicts have. II was not tmammj for Rudifer to tell his pals what lie wanted. They knew a saw would be of service to him, and they furnished U. He Intended to hide this fact by throwing the saw in hU night bucket, but tha strict peareh iastitated detected this instrument of escape. The ooavicts have means ot oommunlcation, notwithstanding they are not allowed to speak to each other. The warden has tested this matter, and has found (hat his remarks to a convict have pane-

traled evenr part of the prison in twenty minutes. It is by this meant, doubtless, that Rudifer laid hia plana. Ool. Rhuler offers 9250 reward for theculprit'sappre hension, if he be outside of the prison. Alter hearing the facts of the case, we are satisfied that Col. Shuler nor his subordinates are responsible for Rndi* fer's escape. Every possible ptecautlon was taken, and Rudifer escaped because he had frieuds in the prison, and knew just when to strike.

OBITUARY.

Ki-Ccuntj-Ormmliilxitr William Ilrawn. I From the Daily Express.] William Brown died Monday mdftiing, January I8th,af typhoid or bilious pneumonia, at the residence of his son, Cape J. L. Brown, one mile east of this city. He came to this county from the stale of Ohio, about twenty-nine years ago, and until lately has made his home in Pierson township, where he has long been known as one of the most upright and honorable men in theeounty, always prompt to a day in all his promises and engagements. A verbal contract was held as sacred with him as a written one one of his strongest characteristics was tbat of right and justice in all things.

He reared a large family of children, seven of whom are yet livings citisens of this county, and all have families. His age was 74 years. He had been married fifty years, and his wife is yet living. lie will be buried January 19th, at 11 o'clock, at the bHrving ground, near his old homesiead, in Pierson township.

Treating the Wrong Dlae seT Many times women call upon their family" physicians, one wiih dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there,and in this way they all prerent alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms caused by some uterine disorder and while they are thuB only able perhaps to palliate for a time, they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delc.y, treatment, and other complications made, and which a proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby instituting health and comfort instead of prolonged misery.

From Miss Lorinda E. St. Clair, Shade, Athens county, Ohio: "Dr. V. Pierce, Buffalo, New York. —Your favorite prescription is working almost like a miracle on me. I am better already than I have beeu for over two yesrs."

From Ella A. Schater, Zanesville, Ind "Dr. Pierce—I received the medicine you sent me, and began using it imrot diately. As a result of the treatment 1 feel better than I have for three years.

From Mrs. John K. Hamlin, Odell, III.: "Dr. Pierce—The favorite prescription has done me good, which I am very thankful for."

Dr. Pierce's favorite prescription is sold by dealers in medicines.
