Wonderful Esc0pe.-Mr. Joseph Adams
was last night awakened by the sound Of u
loud noise which resembIed scufling, grUaHs,
like one in the agOnies Of death. and tretnen-
dOus crash of glass in the third story Of his
house, (DaDfOrd street) all Of which appear.
ed to come from the chamber where his son,
about IS wears Of age, slept. He arose from
his bed to ascertain the cause Of this disturb
ance. His first suspicious were that some
person or persons had broken into the house,
who were attempting to commit murder or
plumber property. Mr.. Adams went up stairs
as soon as possible into the chamber Occupi-
ed By his son. The bed he found unOccupird,
the room in some disturbance. and the win
dow-sash broken to pieces. Looking out OF
the window. he saw his child standing ON the
ground. who, on being spoken to, answered
in his usual tone Of voice as though nUthing
had happened. The father ran down stairs
Immediately, and found the boy bleeding in
both arms, approaching the front door to en-
ter the house. The first words that struck
the ears of the agonized parent were, " faith
er my arms arc both broken" The boy VAS
Immediately taken into the house; physi-
clan was called; and on examination it APP
pcared that the only injury sustained was the
laceration Of the feshy part Of both arms!
The account that the son gives, is, that
while dreaming. it appeared that some per-
son had come lpto his chamber with the in
tention to murder him. Affrighted, he Jump
ed out Of bed. and seemed to defend himself
for while with a chair; but finding this de-
funno f,il and the
onward with greater force. he made an at
tempt to escape by the window. First he
ran his arm through the slass,-but this hole
not being large enough to jump through, he
took the chair and beating the whole sash to
pieces Immediately jumped out Of the third
story window to the ground. Strange TO tell,
not bone was fractured. Though he fell ON
a picket gate, and though the gate was liter
ally broken to pieces, yet the only injury he
sustained was the decorations Of his arms. He
is now doing weI.-Portiand Erening ado.
