Remarkable Eseape.

The following beats all the stories of re-
marka5le escapes which we pemember ever
20 have seen:-" On the passage Of the ship
Alexander from New Orleans to New York
yonngiad, about fourteen years of age
from a naturally frolicsome and misehieyous
disposition, became so troublesome in his
pranks, thatshe was threatened by the cap
tain, if they were continued, that he would
confae him in water-cask. Our young
ster took no heed, however, and, at his next
offence, was put in the cask, which was
headed up, leaving large bung-hOie for the
admission of. air. That night the ship en-
countered "a Violent storm, and, In a
sudden lureh, the eask containing the boy
rolled over into the sea. The circumstance
was not noticed by those on board. Fortu-
nately the caslk struck Dung up, and Hoated
about thirty hours, when it was thrown
upon the beach at st. Bias. Here the boy
made desperate efforts to extricate himself
from his prison, without success, and, in
despair, gave up to die Some cows, how
ever, strolline on the beach, we're attracted
to the cask, and, in walking around it, one
of them, 1t being fiy-time, switched her
tail into the bung-hOle. which the lad
grasped with desperate resolution. The
COW beloved and set on for life, and after
running some two hundred yards with the
cask, struck 1t against log on the beach,
and knocked it, as we say into "coeiSed
hat" The boy, thus proyidentiAlly TO
leased, was discovered by some fisheraea
on the point and taken into AppalachicoIs,
where small collection being made for
him, he was enabled 70 proceed north by
the way Of Columbus"
