HrRoIsa IN a Boy.--A few days ago an incident
occurred at Biloxi, in which boy named Joseph
Garabeau, between ten and eleven years of age
evinced extraordinary intrepidity and presence of
mind. Two little feows about ten years old one
Of them the Of Captain Samuel Griffin of the
steamboat California, were fishing on the edge of
the wharf, when, overreaching themselves, they
fell into the water, which was of considerable
depth They were unable to swim, and of course
in Imminent danger of being drowned, when Cara
beau, who stood near, threw plank toward them,
stripped, and plunged of the wharf to their as
sistance. With admirable presence Of mind he
avoided getting in front Of them, thereby prevent
ing either from loo king him in an embrace which
would have proved fatal to all three; but graspng
behind the shoulder the first he came To with one
hand, and swimming with the other, he pushed him
toward the plank and thus enabled him Ia sustain
himself. After this he returned TO the other and
repeated the maneuvre When he found they had
both firm hold Of the plank, the young hero went
behind and pushed il toward fish car, which was
thirty or forty yards off, when, having gained il,
he aided them 10 mount thereon, and thus placed
them out Of all danger. Young Garabcau's noble
action Is the theme of universal admiration at
Biloxi, and, taken in connexion with his tender
age, Is, perhaps, fine example Of devotedness
as can be found in the records Of the humane 80
ciety.-N. O. Picayine.
