AN INCIDENT OF THE BURNING OF THE NORTH
ERN INDIANA.-An incident, which created in
tense feeling among the lady passengers on
board the Mississippi, was the discovery of
sweet little baby about year old, which by
some means had its little arms across board
and was holding on with death grip. 1t was
now mounting the top of the waves, and now
down in their troughs, and it seemed as though
at each moment it must relax its hold and go
down. The ladies watched it with the most in
tense anxiety, and among them were mothers
whose eyes were moist and sobs audible But
it was not long before one of the boats picked
it up, and the most fervent EXPLANATIONS of joy
at its rescue were heard on every side. Fortu-
nately its mother was among the saved who came
to this city on the Mississippi, and the scene as
she clasped to her bosom her child, whom she
thought drowned, is altogether indescribable.-
