A LAWYER IN A PREDICAMENT.-The Buffalo Com
ercal Adrertiser Of July 80 is responsible for the
following statement:
yesterday, cIinker-built row boat, containing
four gentlemen engaged in fishing, was capszed in
the Niagara river, near the head of Grand Island.
Three of the party escaped with only a moderate
ducking, but the other, legal gentleman, who suf
fers from chronic hydrophobia, was less fortunate
By process, which it would puzzle a Philhdel-
phia lawyer to explain, he managed during the mo-
ment of capszing to get his head in the baitbucket
with the bale around his neck. This novel helmet
rather embarrassed his movements in swimming
though he showed a great alacrity in sinking.
"He went under, to the horror of his cOmpan-
ions, though they might have known that he would
rot stay there great while Coming to the sur
face, he made few desperate plunges to get off his
binder, and then went down again. Several feet
beneath the surface he found the water too wet for
comfort, and came up like another Venus Aphro-
dite, the bucket still concealing all above his shoul-
ders. This time he fished out and helped to the
boat, where he succeeded in getting clear of his
head gear. He was not much the worse for the ac-
cdent. He got rid of the water ne had swallowed
soon as possible, then dsentangled a-half dozen
minnies from his curly hair and whiskers, took a
long breath, and gently murmured by thunderp ?
The party were soon rescued by other boats"

An ingenious rascal posted himself by the rail
road track at Mossup station when a Methodist ex-
cursiOn train was returning from Providence to
Norwich, CT, a few days ago, and as the ladies
waved their handkerchiefs from the car windows,
he reached up and caught a whole armful OF them
at once. He escaped with his pIunder.
