A HEROIC WIFE.-A passenger on
board the Northern Indiana when she
burnt gives an account of the narrow es
cape of Cicero Fowler and wife of Tullv
New York. There was but one life-pre-
server for Mrs. Tully and husband he
insisted imperatively that she should put
it on; she peremptorily refused, saying
"she was in poor health and his life was
worth far more than hers !" The pre-
server having no strap, Mrs. F. tore the
hem from her dress, and fastened it to
her husband, whom she continued to en-
courage, say she could hold on to him,
and if the preserver could not sustain
them both, she would be the one to let
go and leave him to save himself. The
fire was getting hotter and hotter. The
water was thick with human forms
struggling for life she tore her bonnet,
already on fire, from her head, and hand
in hand with one she loved better than
herself took the dangerous leap. As
they arose from the water, Mr.. Fowler
assisted his wife in procuring a good
hold of him on or about the shoulders.
She wiped the water from his mouth
and eyes, and encouraged him to retain
his hope of being saved. He continued
to struggle with the waves Half an
hour elapsed, and there were no signs of
assistance. His strength was rapidly
failing; his wife observing it, tried anew
to cheer him. He said he could not
stand it any longer: it seemed as though
he must give mp. AT that moment she
heard steamer coming rapidly through
the water. She says, MY dear hus-
band, few moments more and we are
safe, Don't you hear boat comingl'
He said he did, and Immediately lyrevived,
made all the effort in his power, and
struggled for himself and his heroic wife
until the Mississippi came up and res
cued them, with scores of others;
