A st. Louis woman. hearing that the
boarding house of her lover was in flames,
and that he was in an upper story unable
to escape, rushed trantically to the spot,
seized a ladder and mounted it. despite the
entreaties of her friends. Agilely ascend
ing, she soon disappeared amid the smoke
and flame which enveloped the windows
of his fourth-story room. A breathless 81
lence fell on the multitude below, but soon
the brave girl reappeared with her darling
in her arms. As she descended, the ladder
bent and swayed beneath the double bur
den, and the increasing flames caught in
her long crinis and crinoline, but the
steamer played on her INCREASINGLY, and
amid shouts which rent the skies pre-
server and preserved reached mother earth
in safety.

A veritable Rip Van Wrinkle has Just
turned up in Chicago He formerly lived
in that city, but had latterly taken up his
terms of Nebraska. The other day he re-
turned to the scenes of his former lite and
desired to put up at the City Hotel and
was amazed to learn that that respectable
establishment and very large share of the
rest of the city had been burned up. The
rest of the city was not of much consequence
in his mind. but he was truly grieved that
the City Hotel was gone, and exclaimed,

A CAPTURED Herald Correspondent.

During the war the New York Herald
correspondents were frequently captured
by the confederate forces, but now, in times
of peace, one OF them has been captured by
the Lowery outlaws in North Carolina and
his fate is quite uncertain. We reproduce
dispatches to the Herald:
WILMINGTON, n. C., March 23.-The
latest intelligence from the Herald cores
pOndent in the hands of the Robson
county outlaws renders mole grave the
question of his probable fate. IL was his
intention to accompany the outlaws to their
several hiding places, they agreeing to Garry
him to their haunts in the swamp blindfolded
and it was his intention to leave them on
Monday next if possible. To-day Rhody
Lowery, the wife of Henry Berry Lowery,
appeared at the depot at Moss Neck and
made a statement to the special messenger
of the Herald as to the recent movements
Of the correspondent.
RhOdy states that upon the return of the
Herald correspondent from Moss Neck yes
terday, after his delivery of his package of
CORE sp on6ence for the Herald bureau here,
he was scared in her cabin when Andrew
Strong and Steve Lowery suddenly entered
and peremptoIily ordered him to 'coIne and
60 with u.s."
Rhody states the Herald correspondent,
manifesting great trepidation, immediately
Obeyed their order, and was last seen by her
moving in company with the outlaws, W hose
manner toward him was sullen and men
acing, in the direction Of the swamp.
RhOly has seen nothing of the Herald cor
respondent since his departure from her
cabin, and she processes entire ignorance of
the disposition made of him by the outlaws
In connection with this l make an ex-
tract from letter from your correspond
ent on yesterday. He says: 'ln a CONVEX
sation with Andrew Strong and Steve
Lowery OF Yesterday l asked if | could
see Boss who they say is not dead, though
/ know he is, and Steve, with a laugh said
to Andrew, Yes, he shall see Boss before
he goes away which remark was accom-
panied by viilainous chuck!e. | am on
parole now. They made me put my hand
on my heart and swear / would not try to
run away, amt then | gave them full ger
mission to kill me if l did, and not accuse
them at the day Of judgment. They treat
me we'll, except that they compel lie to
drink their internal whisky
Rhody LoweTy's statement concerning
the Hefotd correspondent taken in connec-
ton with the ominous utterances of Steve |
LOwery, has created feeling of profound |
apprehension here regarding his fate.
WILMINGTON, n. C., March %. Evening |
There Is report extensively circulated on |
the streets this evening to the effect that |
your correspondent has been shot, but
whether by the outlaws or the citizens is |
not stated | can hardly credit this report,
and only give il as one of the many seusa-
tiOnal rumors regarding your correspondent |
since his captivity in the dominion of the
Lowerys. The shooting is now tile prevail
ing topic of conversation, and great anxiety
is felt as to his probable fate.
