NARROW ESCAPE OF THE BAKER FAMILY
FROM DRowHINo.-The Baker vocalists,
while crossing the Wisconsin River in a
ferry-boat at Merrimac on their way to this
place, narrowly escaped losing three Of their
company by drowning, viz: Mr.. c. Baker,
his wife and Mfr. George e. Baker. II ap.
pears that after they had got shor, distance
from shore into very swift current where
the water is from II to 20 feet deep, one Of
their wheel horses took fright, rushed for.
ward and crowded the leading span over the
front end Of the boat, at the same time pre-.
cipitating Mr. G. E.. Baker into the current.
He being good swimmer after great exer-
tion re ached a snag some distance below,
whence after q rest of about ten minutes he
with difficulty succeeded in swimming ashore.
Mrs. ]. c. Baker, VINO " as getting out OF the
carriage when the horse took fright, was vic.
iently thrown over the side of the boat by
the wheel, and was rapidly drifting down
stream when her husband saw a portion of
her shawl floating on the surface of the wa
ter and not seeing her on board Immediately
plunged in, seized the shawl and began the
work of saving the lives of himself and wife.
He was impeded by heavy overcoat, but
drew Mrs. Baker along, all the while under
water, with one hand aud swan with the other
some distance, when knowing that she must
soon breathe or perish. he caught hold of her
arm aud raised her above the water mo-
'ment, but was compelled to let her again sink
while he exerted his fast exhausting strength
TO reach the shore, which he accomplished
with che last effort Of his faint energies.-l
With great difficulty the horses were saved
by the other members Of the troupe and we
are happy to state that the company sustain.
ed the loss neither of life nor property. No
blame is attached to the ferry.men who be.
haved noby and rendered invaluable aid.

Mosr MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT cciden-
tai death never comes with such appalling
terror as when we are in the midst of Joy and

cordance with previous arrangement, pro-

Of the Miami. Three Of the party, named
Durant, Conklin and Dunlap. concluded to
take ride in skiff, and seeing one adjacent,
they procured the services of young man
named Benjamin Dodson, said to be of New
York. After sailing about for a while, the
boat carreened, through some mismanage-
ment, filed with water, and cupszed, pre-
cipitating the four into the stream. M
Two OF them, Dodson and John Wesley
Durant almost instantly sunk to rise no
more; while Conklin and Dunlap, with
much difficulty, succeeded in resching III e

the party on shore, and their feelings must
be imagined. Durant was of this city, and
