Miraculous Escapes.

ONE of the most amazing instances of
escape from sudden and apparently inevi-
table death occurred few nights ago, ON
the Hudson River Railroad. A man named
James Carter, of HughsOnville, was walk
ing up the road about mile south of the
New Hamburg station. On his back he
carried trunk. Suddenly a train hove
in sight, laundering down the track on
which Carter was walking. To see the
red glare and to hear the crashing advance
of the engine was the work of moment;
in the next Carter had leaped for safety
upon the other track But il was STUN
bling from Scylla upon Charybdis. The
startled man could not hear, for the roar
of the freight train, a new enemy that
was close upon him. AS he jumped upon
the up track, the Pacific express came
hurting along at his back, running forty
miles an hour. The engineer saw Carter,
shut off steam and whistled "down
brakes" But it was too late. The speed
of the locomotive was hardly slackened
when it struck the poor fellow, and he
and his trunk were flung twenty feet into
the air Probably it was thousand to
one, at the moment of collision, that
Carter would never draw another breath,
Yet he is alive and well to-day. The

ing exceptions to ordinary experience
that we instinctively call miraculous.
Carter's clothes caught in what is called
the "draw-bar," his person not striking
any part of the locomotive at ALL Thus,
when discovered, he was lying across the
iron bars of the "cow-catcher," with his
head down and his feet up-the head be
ing within two or three inches of the rails.
The train dashed furiously on, Garter
continuing TO hang in his perilous posi-
tiop until it reached New Hamburg. He
was insensible, but soon revived with sim
pie remedies, and was found to be abso
lutely unhurt. There was not even &
scratch OF abrasion of the skin.

and carried on unhurt. She was rescu
ed as soon as the train could be stopped,
and sustained no injury.
When the ship Dunbar was wrecked
some years ago off Sydney Heads, she
foundered near sheer precipice, almost
absolutely smooth on Its surface, and
rising 800 feet from the sea. On that
smooth wall, far above the reach of any
comfiior waves, is single tiny crevice
or shelf few feet in length. 1t was q
thousand to one when the Dunbar went
saved. But the very fury Of the tempest
that destroyed his ship was one poor mar
iner's salvation. He was tossed up into
this crevice by monstrous wave as neat
ly as a billiard ball is shot into pocket;
There he lay inseDsible, but he was found
in time to save him, and was hoisted to
the top of the precipice above. The

Important to Veterans of the War.

The numerous bounty laws passed by
Congress have been the subjects of con-
siderable misunderstanding, to settle
which the Second Auditor of the Treasu-
~ Department has made the following
statement and decision
All volunteers who enlisted for three
years prior to July 90, 1861, and were
mustered into service for three years be-
fore August 6, 1861, are entitled to 800
bounty, if they have been honorably dis
charged, and have not received the same
for such service. Those enlisted and
mustered as above, who were discharged
for promotion, are not entitled to bounty,
as such discharge is not muster-out OF
service, as is contemplated by general or
der No. Is, 1861, under which the contract
was made. Where such soldiers have
died since discharge, the recent law
makes no provision for bounty to heirs.
Such as were discharged by reason OF
wounds, and heirs of such as were killed
or died in the service, have already had
bounty granted under other acts, and take
nothing under this. Soldiers who have
received bounty under the act of
July 2S, 1866, cannot receive bounty under
this in consequence of the restrictions
contained in the firt-named act. Where
an application for bounty under the de-
cision of the Supreme Court has been
filed, no new application is necessary un-
less called for by this office.
On the Sd of May, 1864, the President,
it will be recollected, issued a proclama'
ton calling for AZ, 034 volunteers for three
years. On the 4th of May, 1861, General
Order No. Is was issued, providing foi
an organization of those volunteers into
forty regiments and proclaiming bounty
of 800 in addition to travel pay to his
home 70 each cnlisteI man when honor
ably discharged from the service. arc
promise was only made to the volurteel
called for in the Presidents proclamation
but as eighty-two regiments were Offered
and accepted before ,he passage of thu
law of July 90, 1861, the enlisted men o
which were alike equitably entitled to thu
bounty, Congress passed an act April %
1872, to place those enlisted for thre'
years before July 20, 1861, upon the sam'
footing as to bounty.

THE Poughkeepsie IN. W Press tells
this story about one of the brakemen on
the Hudson River Railroad. 1t appears he
visits young lady in that village and
while fixing himself the other morning
for his customary call, his aunt, with
whom he lives, warned him that there
was sickness in the family, and limited
that it might prove to be smallpox. He
only laughed at what he regarded as a joke
of the old lady's, however, and told her
she could not come that on him. On he
went, arriving at his destination just in
time to see physician leaving the house:
Walking IN, he was soon busily engaged
in conversation with his sweetheart. In
five minutes from that time the house was
quarantined and ingress or egress positive
ly forbidden. He was a prisoner. The
next day he called to passing friend from
an upper window, informing him that as
yet he had not taken the disease, but
knew not how soon his time would come
We have not heard whether his love held
ont under such n irving ordeal.
