Four hours Of peril and terror-rescue
from the brink of the cataract.

from the brink of the cataract.
We have heard of many ''awful sltua-
TONS and s'Providential rescues,' but
never of situation more truly awful
than that which we are about to describe,
nor Of rescue in all respects more slrlk-
ingly Providential.
Mr. Kidd, one of the hands employed
in the Touring mill of Avery & Thurber,
Jus, above the Middle Falls of the Gene
see, in the north part of this city, Car
thage,) after dark, few evenings since,
took the skiff belonging to the mill, and
without communicating his design to any
one, attempted to cross the river. For
the purpose of improving the water pow.
err at that point, dam has been thrown a
cross few feet above the middle cataract,
and at low water the current for some dis
lance above the dam, is slight. When
the water is high, however, a strong cur
rent sits over the dam through its whole
length, and then none but a person accus.
toned to manage boat can push one a
cross. The river was very high on the
evening in question. To add to the diff
Guilty Mr. Kidd had little experience in the
use of oars, and when about half way a
cross, he lost command of the boat, and
found to his, horror that he was rapidly
drifting with the current which he could
mot doubt, would sweep him with his
/ slight skiff over the dam.
The dam, as we have remarked, is {
| few feet above the Middle Falls, the per.
pendicular descent of which is twenty-five
/ feet. A few rods farther down, are ths
! Lower Falls, with a perpendicular descen
of 81 feet. Between the dam and The
middle falls, as well as between the two
cataracts, the current is exceedingl y rapic
and rough. Once over the dam, therefore
his destruction was sealed; for ever
should his frail bark survive the plunge
over the dam and the descent of the Mid
die Falls and live through the intervening
rapids and rocks to the brink of the lowe
falls, ii could not, nor could the stronges
vessel tina! ever foated, survive the awful
plunge of eighty four feet down that tire
mendous cataract.
Mr. Kidd was perfectly acquainted witt
the localities, and fully aware OF the aw
full perils of his situation. In the dark
ness of the night, there was no eye saw
the eye of Him to whom the midnight i
as noon-day, that could see, and no han
save His that conld be stretched out t
save him; and speedy and terrible dea,

that the conduct of this man should be
misconceived. He was acting in accor-

almost drowned his own, he continued at

ter Miller taking his rounds outside the
mill, about ten o'clock to see that all was
safe before retiring for the night, heard one
OF his cries. He supposed it was from
some person on the opposite side of the

thinking that it sounded like cry of dis

was abandoned.

OF economy which they >(without having
practiced themselves recommend to Gen.
Harrison, will speedily liquidate. This
added 10 the five millions mentioned by
Mr. Webster will make 81 millions. Of
the rest we are left to conjecture; through
from facts known, the balance will pro-
badly not fall short of s or 10 millions.
