A Narrow Escape.

Our friends of the Boston Post were badly scorched
in the great fire, but not consumed, Their office
was so seriously damaged that only half sheet was
sent out on Monday, and that of Tuesday not
up to the full size They tell their experience in the
great fire as follows
The flame that swept northward TO Milk street,
and thence made detour OF the new Post Office, to
sWoOp upon the prey from which it barred by
the iron and granite OF that building, crept up to
our very walls. The Post Building alone stands on
Water street, in the space from DevOnshre eastward
to the limit of the burnt district That the building
saved at all is one OF those occurrences are
accustomed to call miraculous. With the fire rag
ing above below, in the rear and on side, with
the flames leaping far over the root and a more in
sidous danger lurking in furnace-ke cellar behind,
all hope OF long resisting the element destroyed
TO the efforts OF those brave men who, after con
test OF twelve hours with the cOntagratiOn, took
their final stand at State and Devonshire streets and
then beat it back, We owe safety. They drenched
the blazing cellar they drove off the flames that
tackled our root, and they steadily fought fire with
deluge.
But while we nay with reason congratulate
selves upon immunity from greater misfortune, it is
by means unscathed that the Post Building stands
the barrier between desOaton and safety. The flames
that licked up granite and brick and iron close at
hand and that crumbed into sand the solid stone of
the new Post Office opposite, were not stayed from
reaching past the dividing wall, and eating huge
hole in the roof and upper story of the Post Build
in close limits and extingushed but the composing
room was left ruin of shattered glass, plaster and
debris of roof and walls, the editorial and other
rooms on the next floor beneath, and, indeed, even

A Cool-Headed Young Woman.

From the Titusv,lle. Penn, Herald, November 4
A short distance this side of Union, on
the Union and Titusvi!le railroad, there is
a very long and very high trestle, and
one upon which nobody ventures who is
at all inclined to be light-headed. In
mediately this side of the trestle there is a
sharp curve in the road, so that person
walking on ii cannot be seen by the en-
gineer of an approaching train until it is
nearly upon him. On Friday last, as Mr..
William Toles, engineer of Mr.. Holmes
train, came around the curve, at good
rate of speed, he was Mortified to discover
Il lady, about the middle of the trestle,
and hardly a trains length from him.
Quick as thought, Billy whistled down
brakes" gave her sand, and threw back
the reversing lever. while at the same
time he knew that it was an utter impos-
sibility to check the heavy train before
the victim would be overt aiken and crushed
to death, and with fixed eyes he awaited
the catastrophe.
The lady heard the warning whistle,
and turning her head saw the iron monster
almost upon her. Escape seemed inn
possible, to remain was certain death, to
jump TO the ground beneath. distance
of thirty to forty feet, equally certain
death, and to attempt to run ahead
and escape was out of the question. I'm
like ten thousand young ladies-and she
is said to have been young and fair-out
of ten thousand and one, she did not
scream Or faint or indulge in any non
sense of any kind, but realizing the situa-
ton in an instant, and taking the chances
all in, she proceeded to an action which
sayed her life. About thirty inches below
the ends of the ties, and Immediately I'M
der the stringer which supports them,
there is a .joist five inches wide running
from one support of the trestle to another,
and to this the clearheaded girl resorted
for safety. Stepping to the end of the
ties she swung herself down to this mar
row thread with the apparent ease of a
gymnast, and with her arms clasped
around it, stretched herself at full length
along it as the tram Numbered by almost
over her. AS soon as the engineer saw
her action he threw off his brakes, and
putting on steam hurried past as soon as
possible, when she nimbly sprang to the
track again and pursued her journey as
though nothing had happened.
