PrRuoUs ApyENruRE--A thrilling Incl
dent occurred at the Lower Falls Suspcn-
sion bridge, yesterday, the particulars of
which have been related to us by an eye
witness. "As usnal on Sunday, largo
number Of persons were cougregatcd at the
bridgc-mtn, women and chldreN-Som
engaged in walking across the bridge 9th
crS in viewing the structure from the banks,
&c. On the west bank Of the river, u NUM-
Der of boys were amusing themselves 10y pull
ing upon two guys, giving them IN oscillato-
ry motion. The guys were some ninety feet
in length, and attached to the bridge direct
" over the chaSm and several feet from each
other. They were fastened together in an
iron staple inserted in the rock at the very
brink Of the prccipicc One Of the bows, a
lad about | , or II years Of age whose namc
we have not been able to ascertain, in order
to show his daring, seated himself astraddlc
the guys, when suddenly the staple was
wrcuchcd from the rock, and the guys swung
out over the river with the boy seated in the
crotch, holding ON with II hand graspcd
upon each guy
The distance from the bridge to the water
is two hundred and forty feet, and the posi-
tion Of the young man was about midway
between ! The accident was witnessed by
a large number Of persons and SO thunder
struck were they that many Of them both
upon the bridge and the banks, threw them
selves upon their faces, and waF some time
before any one could regain sufficient pres
encc Of mind to set about rcscuing the Iad
from his pcrilous position The yoWgstcr
exhibited nerve worthy Of an older head
and seemed to greatly to enjoy his swing.
After the vibration Of the guys had ceased,
he commenced giving directions to those
above him on the bridge as to the best meth
od of aIording him relief A search Of the
noighborhood showed that no rope suitable
TO draw him up was to be had. The young
ster then sugGc.tc ted the plan Of making Il
rope sufficiently long to let him down, by
picccing This was done, the rope was let
down to him, and after he ha,l fastened it TO
his waist, those above lowered HIM to the
waters edge lie gained the bank and
scampcred of for the lower landing rs fast
as his legs would carry him, and our inform
ant says he has not been seen since in the
vicinity Of the Suspension Bridge.
Although, this is one Of the most pcrilous
adventures it has been our lot TO relate for
some time and although the rcchIca,ucs
Of the boy in seating himself as described
richly entities him to a wholesome cowhiding
yet his conduct and presence Of mind while
suspended at such hight above ii rapid
current, is certainly worthy Of admiration
We trust this adventure viii prove q
warning to the many thouahtlcss persons
men and boy>-Who visit the bridge, aud
who are in the habit Of performing faats Of
the most reckless character -Roclcsfey

/ ErrEcrs or THE INAGNArIoH.-I Bell
the notorious hghwayman, is not dead, as
was reported last week A cotomporary is
informed by gentleman just down from Pia-
ceryiIlc, that "Tom the terrible was seen
on the 2lst INST at hotel about twenty
miles this side Of PIaccryiIle. He stopped
at the Railroad House, took dinner along
with a companion, then reposed whilst his
horse was resting and subsequently rode on
He was armed with two lurge-sizcd heavy
reyolyers, bowie knife, and wors II coat oI
mail. lie is described as a large man, over
six feet high with badly broken nose, but
otherwise dnc-looHing person. A larg,
man, over six feet high, armed with two hea
w rcyolycrs, a bowie knife, and wearing d
coat Of mail, is anything but n pleasant in
diyidual to meet on the highway. Now
Tom Bell may answer to the above dcecrip
ton exactly, but we will venture that he il
considerably less than six feet in length, ear
rcs but one really " heavy revolver anc
wears no other coat Of mail than a woolcl
uudcrshirt. We have the evidence Of mci
Of experience, that the muZzle Of q cooke,
revolver within six inches Of yom nose an,
held by u man who would pull the trir"c
for two bits, suddenly assumes circumlu
ancc Of about seyen feet. Tom Bell has bee
measured under similar circumstances, an'
by the same rule Of " long measure" j
demanding a nervous mans purse by moon
light, Tom BcIl would probably appear f.
the victim about the size Of fulI-2rown ar
bor-yit@, with rs much ordinance swung q
him as grins through the cmbrazurcs o
