From the Muscatine Journal.
Incidents Of the Late Storm at Dav
Gnn0rt.

During a recen, visit 10 Davenport we
became acquainted with an instance ol
preservation from harm that seems liule
short Of miraculous.
Mr.. I'll. Wlckersham had just com
ple.ed and moved into a large three story
brick building. He had placed in i. his
wIn,er stock Of five hundred stoves, five
hundred dollars worth Of britannia ware,
a large amount of wire, copper, sheet
iron. lin pla,e-in all Sl2,0O0 worth oil
thia heavy material.
When The torn came up, he and his
two sons were on the first floor, aud sew.
cral workmen in the third story.
When the wind struck the house, /,

ing was falling. Instead of rushing into
The s,rees for his own safety, he, with he
roism worthy of record, started 10 the
third story TO alarm the workmen, after
calling out 10 warn his brother, who did
not hear him. Just as he arrived on the
third floor, The building came down in a
mass of ruins, preciplta,ing the inmates
to the cellar, amid a confusion of stoves,
materials Of stock, disrupted building
material, &c.
Mr.. Wickersham was standing on the
frs, floor. How he got through it he
does 70, know. His first recollection is
of lying in the cellar, with stoves piled
around him, leaving jus. room for his
body. James Wickersham lay in the
ruins two hours, during which time the
people were making every effor, to re
lease him. Waite: was lowered to him
in a bo,tle. Finally he was extricated
by his friends, who were obliged 10 saw
in pieces and remove some lumber lying
over him. His hip was d~is!oca.ed, one
knee and ANGLE strained. lie is now re
covering his former strength. Henry
WIckersham lay IN the ruins an hour
and a half with a stove Lightly resuog on
each arm, and one on his back! He
was bu, little hurt. Mr.. Gregg, one OF
the workmen, lay near him, siso buried
in the ruins, and they conversed upon
their situation, surprising themselves the
only persons alive. A woman and child
were on the first floor, and went through
into .he cellar. The woman was slight
Iy injured, bu, the chill was entirely un-
harmed.
MIR. Wickersham is a mos, exemplary
man, aud some of his good brother Meth.
odIs's may suppose The occurrence a
miracle. Ii was certainly a wonderful
example OF hair breadth escapes from
danger-and canno, be denied "A place on
