SAN PATCH AT ST. ANTHoNY.-A friend at the
Falls has noted to us the following extraordin-
airy incident:
"DEAR OwENs,-Cattle and horses have been
over the Falls Of st. Anthony, and not always
in safety, but no one could for moment think
that man would come out safe after passing
the journey. Such, however, is the fact. An
Irishman, by the name of Hickey, in the en-
ploy Of A. N. Hoyt, Esq, of Minneapolis, start
ed over from Nicollet island, opposite the resi-
dence of Col. John H. Stevens, this morning, in
a ferry-boat belonging to Capt. Upper. The
voyager not understanding navigation, was
carried over the Falls, pell-mcll, the boat be-
ing split into hundred fragments. Strange as
it may appear, he hung to the rope of the boat,
and came out on the small island below the
Falls, without receiving the slightest injury,
where he was rescued by workmen in the en-
ploy of Maj. Fridlcy. But the most laughable
part remains to be told He had a bottle of
whisky in his pocket which remained safe !!
When landed he expressed more joy at the safe
deliverance of the whisky than he did that his
own life was saved.
July 16, 1854. H."
We would not. by any means, wish to be un-
derstOod as encouraging the concealng of IL
quor about the person, either in the side-pocket
or inside the stomach but it belongs to faith
full chroniclers Of passing history to mention,
that the above is the second instance since noon
on the Fourth of July, in which the elated
state of the head has probably saved the neck
from dislocation. We do not, however, sub
init these facts as arguments in favor ofan I'M
restrained liquor traffic.
