   ESCAPE -- JACOB WEAR, who was brought to the Jail in Fayetteville from 
Lincoln, for safe-keeping, made his escape from prison last Tuesday night. He 
was confined in irons; but by some means, he freed himself from them, and 
excaped from the Jail without breaking bar or bolt, simply by opening the 
doors, as they were found unlocked in the morning. How this was effected has 
not yet been ascertained. WEAR was confined for breaking into the store of MR. 
RAMSOUR, in Lincolnton in November last; and was also charged with other high 
crimes. Several persons were dispatched in pursuit of him, but at the time of 
writing this article, no intelligence had been received from them. -- Catawba
