A striking example of fortitude and
presence Of mind was exhibited, few
days since, by gentleman and Young
lady la passing the Cayaga Lake, in
the state of $. York. The circumstaa-
ces were as follows:
Mr. William Tappan, of Geneva, set
out on a journey to Boston in the stage
with his little daughter, about 4 years
old: La crossing the lake on the ice, he
committed his child to the care of
Miss Vredenburgh, young lady of
about Is years Of age, ola very respect
able family at Scancotalis Lake, who
remained in the sleigh: the other pas
sengers, considering the passage dan
gerous, chusing to walk at distance.
AS Mr.. lappan was holding upon the
hind part of the sleigh it broke through
the ice, and that, with the horses, were
Observation-Disclosures. Mr. Tappan swan
to where the ice would bear him, and
looking back, he saw Miss Vreden.
burgh holding up his child above wa
ter, who, with surprising composure
ofmind, and unexampled disinterest-
edness, exclaimed, 4" For Gods sake,
Mr.. IaPPan, save your child, for we
are both drowning togetherp' Mr.. T.
plunged in again, received the child
from her hands, and was fortunate e.
nough to place it in safety on the ice.
He then returned, and took the young
lady, who was quietly waiting, up to
her neck in water, standing upon the
upper part of the sinking sleigh, and
swan with her again to a place Of safe
ty. All this time she never uttered a
sigh, or complaint but suffered Mr..
L. to take hold of her in the most adj
vantageous manner for swimming. and
deliberately avoided grasping him with
her hands, which she was sensible
might prove fatal to them both. The
result was, that, under providence, the
iortitude and presence ofnind THESE
two persons, was the means oil saving
three souls from watery graye.-It
may be observed at the same time
that the weather was so excessively
