4 Miraculous Escape from Starvation
Man Three Days In a Stump.

We have just learned of a miraculous es-
cape from starvation of gentleman residing
in Lauderdale county, Tennessee, near Hale's
was out hunting in large bottom in his
neighborhood, and he observed a wild goose
fly out of a large cypress stump, which was
some twenty feet high. His knowledge Of
the habits of these geese led hin to believe
that the goose had nest in the stump. On
the outside of the stump were number of
vines, which he pulled up by to peep in and
get possession of the eggs. After he had
succeeded in gaining the top Of the stump,
he discovered a large number Of eggs some
six or eight feet down inside. The nest he sup
posed was on firm foundation, and he &C
cordingly let himself down inside; but when
he struck the substance on which the nest
was built, he discovered that it had no found
alton, and soon found himself sinking 20 the
bottom of the tree.
The inside of the tree was rotten and
would not bear his weight. Now, he was
in a dilemma, FIVE miles from any habitation,
inside of a stump twenty feet high, with
nothing to subsist on but the goose eggs;
he screamed and yelled until he was nearly
exhausted, no one in hearing distance. On
the third day after his incarceration" two
gentlemen were out hunting and came within
hearing distance. They were very much
frightened at hearing man grooming inside
of the stump, and for some time they could
not reconcile themselves to what it meant,
hnt hayiucr learned that the gentleman had
been missing from home several days, they
soon were satisfied that it was no ghost"
inside the tree. They procured axes, and
soon the prisoner was liberated. He swears
he will not attempt to rob goose nest stu
ated as that one gain.--temPhis Argus, 24th

US he has eoHEersed with several officers who visited
Fort Pickens, on the Ilth, and adds:
They found there many old friends and acquain-
tances among the officers and men, having served
with them in the old army. They were informed
of all the disasters that had beallen the Federal
and papers containing accounts Of the battle
at Lexington were given them. They think their
time will come next. Oar officers thanked them
for the kind manner in which they had treated our
wounded, and particularly surgeons, whom they
had released told them that in any future expedi-
ton or fight, should their regulars fall into the
hands Of men they would be respected, and. in
jocose manner added-eould not promise as much
for Billy's boys who bad come for the avowed pur-
pose of murder and robbery.
