Remarkable Deliverances.

Some OF the fishermen returned from the
scene Of the late terrible disaster in the Gull
OF 81. Lawrence, relate hsir.breadlh escapes.
The F. NJ. Dyer, Capt. Dill, of Wellfiee;, in
The height OF The gale, was driving on TO the
breakers, when a chain cable fell overheard,
and brought the vessel directly round, head
ing 10 the sea, thus enabling them casting on
the cable, to get out of danger. Vessels
were saved from coming inIo contact with
one another, and thus destroying both, only
by great exerlions and the wonderful provi-
dences Of God. A young mao, by the name
Rich, Of Truro, was washed overheard by a
sea on the Saturday night of the gale, and
being struck hy the mair-boom, was wholly
dsenabled in one arm. With heavy boots
and many clothes, and never having SWAN
in his life, and the night very dark, there ap-
penred little hopes Of his recovery. lie
was however. calm and sell possessed aud
thinks he was five minutes under water,
three of which he held his breath. A rope
coming across his arm. he seized hold Of it,,
and pulled to gel from under the water, which
brought him up TO the vessel and they took
him on board, seiZing him by the COLLAR
Another man, washed overheard by the same
sea, was washed back into The vessel on the
return wave, aud on his telling The crew that
another hand was overheard, they lacked
the vessel and thus the rope came III con
tact with Rich. Probably hundred more
equally remarkable providential occurrences
could be narrated by those in peril Courier.
TOUCHING INc.pENT.-Some TWO years
ago, saws The H-aterriuc Mail, Mr.. Edon S,
Moody, OF Monmouth, went to California,
L.. all Ia
her mother in Boston. The correspondence
between the husband and wife was regularly
kept up, and the wish was often expressed
by the former that his young wife could join
him in The far off land Of gold; but The def,
nire plan and arrangements for this object
had been deferred. A short lime since, a
letter IRON the absent husband pictured again
the prospects that cheered his long and
weary absence, and touched again the hope
that the lime would soon come when he
should fud il proper TO make arrangements
FOR his wife and child 10 JOIN HIM IN San
Francisco. The heat of the aleclionaie
woman cast the questions Of safety and econ-
omy TO the Winds, and she resolved, IN spite
of all obstacles, 10 start immediately Tor Cal
iiornia, aud surprise her husband by her IN
expected arrival.
She siarted-and almost on the day that
she landed in California, with heart swell
ing TO meet her husband, that husband la n
ded in the city of Boston J.! lie had made n
sudden determination, insiigated Ivy poor
health, to return home. His serious dIsap-
poin,nent, connected with the loss of con-
siderable portion oi his hard earned property
by the failure OF a New York house 10 whom
lie had entrusted il, so wrought upon his de-
cIinimg health that he survived but about one
week, and was brought 10 Monmouth Tor
burial few days since. No details Of the
poor wife's dreadful Disappointment have
not YET been received 4; but The thought that,
whatever may have been lis effect, n still
deeper affection YET awaits her, adds most
painful feature TO the picture.
