a Miraculous Fscape

The Memphis Arg,S eise, the follow.
ing account Of miraculous escape from
starvation of gentleman residing in
Lauderdale county, Tennessee, near
lIales Point:
Last week be was out hunting in
large bottom in his neig borhood, and be
Observed Wild goose fy oot of a large
cypress stump. which was some tweuty
feet high. His knowledge Of the habit
OF these geese led bim to believe that the
goose bad nest in the stump. On the
outside o. the stump were number of
snes, which he pulled up and to peep in
and get possession of the eggs. After be
had succeeded in gaining the top Of the
stump, be discovered q large uuuber of
eggs some SIX or eight feet down inside.
The nest, lie supposed, was on a firm
foundation, and be accordingly let him
self down inside; but when be struck the
substance OBJ which the nest was built be
dl-covered that be had no foundation, and
himself sinking to the bottom of the tree
"The inside of the tree was rotton and
would not bear his weight. Now be was
in a dilemma. FIVE miles from any habi-
tatlou, lnsde of stump twenty feet high,
With NJ prospect of any assistance, with
nothing to subsist on but the goose eggs;
be screened and yelled until be was near
ly exhausted, no one coming within hear
ing distance. On the third day after his
incarceration two gentlemen were out
hunting aod came within hearing dis
tance. They we're much frightened at
hearing man groaniug inside of the
stump and they could not reconcile them
selves to whatit meant, but having learned
that the gentleman had been missing from
home several days, they soon we're satis-
fed that it was no ghost inside the tree.
They procured axes, and soon the prison
er was liberated. He swears be will
neSer attempt to rob goose nest, Situa-
ted as that one was, again"

orders for FIVE thousand pairs of pegged

several lots, ranging from three thousand
to FIVE thousand pairs of sewed shoes were
disposed Of at good prices for New York,
Missouri and other States Government
contracts were also placed in Boston for
about twenty five thousand pairs of cav
airy boots at profitable rates. These
goods are to be made from eight aud
half ounces of upper leather Some of
our manufacturers who received contracts
on Saturday were cutting aud giving out
stock on Monday ready to turn out the
goods at the rate of from one to two huu-
dred pairs daily. In every shoe town in
the State workme are engaged in m aking
sewed army shoes, on which they are get.

Hundred Dollar Note TO Boot.

Old v well to do farmer in Illinois,
bad some four manageable daughters;
and being one of the meD who think their
girls should get married as soon as they
arc out of their short clothes, felt some
what caagrined that his girls should re-
u ain on his hands so long
Now there was q young fellow in the
neightorhood who had been waiting on
the Y. girls fer some time, aud had gone
the round from Oldest to youngest; and
the old man had been anxiously waiting
for, and expecting young B. to task con-
SENT" for some one of the girls, but as
yet be waited 10 vain. B. however, had
proposed and had been accepted; but the
old folks had not been made acquainted
with the fact
Now, in the mean time, young B. bad
purchased fine horse Of the old gent and
had given his note on six months time
for one hundred dollars. Well, pay day
was fast approaching, and 3. had not the
"ready" to meet it; so the day before the
note became due. young B made his way
over to the old gents, determined to ask
him for his daughter-hoping thereby to
get an extension on the note at least. As
good luck would have it. be met the old
uan in the yard, aud was about to go
through with that interesting ceremony
OF "askiug consent" when imagine bis
surprise and joy. the old man broke out
with the following:
"Look here b. you young rascal. you
bave been courtin' my gals for morc'n
year; you've been gaddin' aud cuttiu'
round with the hull on 'em. NOV your
note come. due Tomorrow, and IN tell
you what | IL do. You shalt marry one
of my gals don't care whieh-and I'll
give you a good settin aud your hundred
dollar note to boot; aud if you don't I'll
sue you By tbunder!''
"It's bargain" said B. "I'll do it."
And the next week there was "tall"
wedding down at the old man VS.; and
to this day B chuckles over the way old
nan gave his consent without asking,
"and hundred dollar note to boot"

Poisoned Mimic Balls.

There is the most positive evidence that
poisoned Minnie balls arc used in the
rebel army, and evidence is afforded that
they are manufactured in the North
Last week five members OF the Indiana
regiment, northeast of the Chain Bridge,
we're out scouting, and succeeded in kill :
iDg one of the enemy: the others fed. lea

rsde, probably a relative. until be was
captured. 10 his possession were discov-
cred a number of MIME Balls. each of
which had a deposit of arsenic in it COW
cred with tallow He was asked what
the object was in using those balls. He
explained that the contents we're poison;
that they had not many of them yet. and
we're only used by those sent out on pick
ct or scouting duty. He said that they
came FROM the North-that they had not
received many yet, but we're promised a
larger supply. In connection with this,
my informant. a very reiable brigade sur
geon, says that man was shot in the
Fourteenth Massachusetts, Regiment. By
a rebel picket, whose body, im me ediately
after the bell entered his flesh, sWelled up
aud tho patient died. The surgeon con-
siders this clear case of poison, con-
