within ten years one thousand persons have
perishea BY fire on steamboats, and propellers
upon the western lakes; and we presume that
u every instance carelessness either ia man
agement or the construction Of the boats, has
been the cause. Such an unnecessary destrnc-
ton Of life is at once startling and horrible,
and i IS high time that some measures were
adopted which would prevent such disasters.
Even last year boat on FIRE ran from
above Detroit to Buffalo, with the passengers
on board, although the officers weG1 aware
that the boat was on FIRE.
The act Of Congress of July Z, 1888 pro-
vides among other things. that the hulls of all
steamboats, and vessels shall be inspected at
least once in twelve months, and the boiler
aud machinery Of every steamboat once in ev-
cry six mouths-that skillfnl engineers shall
be employed--that the safety valve shall be
opened whenever the vessel stops for any pur-
pose wbatever-that every boat Of two hun
dred tons shall carry two yaWls which will ac-
connmodate twenty persons each. and every
boat Of greater tonnage, not less than three
such yawls-that each boat shall be provided
with fire engine and hose, and shall use iron
rods OF chains instead of tiller ropes-and that
any person engaged on board a steam vessel
through whose negligence or inattention life
shall be lost, shall be deemed guilty of man
slaughter on conviction shall be sentenced to
hard labor. for q period not more than ten
years
These provisions have in many cases been

NTfraculous Escape from Horse.

Miraculous Escape from n Horse
One of the most miraculous escapes, we
have ever heard of, occurred short time ago,
60 a young man Of the name of Robert Bar
mes, q horse breaker, in the neighborhood of
WhithaYen, England. He was groom to a
stallion Of very ungovernable temper, and
having frequently seen occasion to exercise
the whip, the horse seemed to have formed
q design to revenge his castigation on the 6rst
opportunity. Travelling one day on the
lonely road between AcreHells and Croften,
the horse turned upon the groom, and seizing
him with his teeth, threw him on the ground
Seeing him PROSTATE, be, believing and grind
ing his teeth, showed every disposition to
grind him. to. pieces Fortunately, however
fhe groom had stick, and exerting all his
strength, he struck the animal on the face, just
as he was about to seize him. The blow
made him retreat, but be quickly returned
with greater fury than before, when, receiving.
another blow. he again retrsated, again and
agsin he returned, foaming, believing, and
grinding his teeth, and still bent on his knees,
for the purpose Of tearing bis enemy, but was
rs often repulsed The groom now perceived
that he was about to assail and trample him
with his feet and gave himself up for dead
man. Determined, however, to make a last
effort, he suddenly sprang upon his feet, and
seizing she stick in both hands, he aimed at
the iuglar vein, with all his strength. For
fauatelY he hit il; the horse fell, and he junl-
ped upon his back. Scarcely had he done so,
when the animal rose, and finding his enemy
upon his back. expressed all the symptoms of
ungratified revenge. He roared with rage
beat the ground with his hoofs, reared on bis
hind legs. kicked, plunged and tried every
means to dismount his rider. Finding that
1mpracticable. the unruly beast galloped down
a narrow lane, when his progress stopped
by gate he seized the rail IN bis teeth, and
striking al II with his feet shivered il to splin-
tera Nothing but the most complete horse
manship could haxe saved the rider, wfiic on
