MARROW EsCaPE.-Wm. NJ. Moseiy, Esq, formerly
propristor of the Tanstsli House, Dauyiils, Va,
was victim of al accident on Saturday last, an
escape from the fatal consequences of which seems
almost miraculous. Mr.. Moseiy was a few miles be-
low Dspvils on the line of the railroad, when the
storm of Saturday camo up, and passing by bar q,
he concluded to take shelter under its roof just
ss he was entering the door Of the barn, the roof
was blown off, and shed attached to the barn fell
with tremendous crash, buryiug Mr. Mosey be.
meath its timbers. 1t 80 happened that two logs
fell in position parallel TO each other, one on
each side of q small ditch or gully, and as luck
would have it, MIR. Mossly was stretched at length
beneath these two logs, with the whole mass of
timber over him, and be only protected from
their crushing weight by the sides of the logs be.
tween which he was extended His legs were
crossed and held firmly beneath the timbers, SO
that he was utterly unable TO extricste himself
At this jurcture the rain began to decend in tor
rents, aud the gully in which he was SO frml y
planted, was soon filled with water running in d
swift current and beside him. BY dint OF
much exertiou in raising his head, he WAS enabled
to keep his mouth above the stream until the
rain Was over, when some one came to look after
the demolished barn. and fndiog him in that con
ditioH, coon brought to his aid some five or six
negro fellows, and removing the mass of timber
released him from his confnement.-Udnrille IA
