Elwood Armstrong, the sole prisoner in the Sussex County Jail, in Georgetown, Del., who recently complained to Sheriff Jacob West that he was lonely and afraid to remain in the prison at night without company, will no longer be afraid.

This was done after he had confessed to the theft of five dozen eggs. Accordingly the jail is now empty. The turnkey has taken a vacation, and the sheriff does not have enough to do to keep him busy. Chickens are roosting in the cells, some of which are modern steel affairs, and the jail yard will soon be planted in early corn.
