PerilOus Adventure.

The captain of whaler, says Cheever,
gives the following account of an adven-
ture which came very near being his last
In giving an account of the accident and
singular escape, he said that as soon as he
discovered that the line had caught in the
bow of the boat, he stopped to clear it, and
attempted to throw it out from the chock,
so that it might run free. In doing this
he was caught by a turn round his left
wrist and himself dragged overboard.-
He was perfectly conscious while he was
rushing down with unknown force and
swiftness and it appeared to him that his
arm would be torn from his body, so great
was the resistance of the water. He was
well aware of his perilous condition, and
that his only chance of life was to cut the
line. But he could not remove his right
arm from his side, to which it was pressed
by the force of the element through which
it was drawn. When he first opened his
eyes, it appeared as though stream of
fire was passing before them but as he
descended it grew dark, and he felt a ter
rible pressure on his brain, and roaring
as of thunder in his ears. Yet he was
conscious of his situation, and made sever
al efforts to reach his knife, that was in
his belt. At last he felt his strength fail
ing and his brain reeling, the line for an
instant slackened he reached his knife,
and instantly that the line became again
taut, its edge was upon it, and by des-
perate effort of his exhausted energies, he
freed himself After this, he only remem-
bered feeling of suffocation, gurgling
spasm, and all was over, until he awoke to
an agonized sense of pain in the boat.
The Bloomfield times. [volume] (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1867-187?, 1874-01-27

he determined to turn to account. He re-
manned awake so long that the jemadar
gradually became drowsy himself, and at
last fell into sound sleep. No sooner
did the merchant sec this than he quietly
got up, covered tho jemadar in the cloth
that he had lent him, and taking his bag
of rupees, stole out into the night giving
low whistle. This was answered, as
agreed upon between the jemadar and the
constables. They came quickly in, and
stabbed not the merchant but the jemadar.
They then carried his body, covered it up
as it was, out, and buried it, After they had
done the deed they returned, and finding
no jemadar or bag of rupees, were furious
at being, as they imagined, SO vilely
treated.
Two days after, the police inspector came
to the village, and ordered the constables
to parade in front of as he sat under the
shade of large tree. He first questioned
them as to the absence of their jemadar.
They knew nothing about him-he must
have ran away, they said. They were then
asked if merchant with money in his
possession had come to the village and pla-
ced himself under their protection. This
also they denied but they began to feel
rather uncomfortable at the question being
asked. Judge, then,o their horror when,
at the call of the inspector, the merchant
himself, whom they imagined killed and
safely buried, dropped down from branch
Of the tree and confronted them. 1t was
a perfect tableaux.

A Pleasant Surprise,

A young New York gentleman, stopped
at one of the lower hotels, requested the
proprietor to change his room, as the next
apartment to his was occupied by that tor
ment to bachelors, crying baby. When
he arrived from New York he went off to
take drive, and on his return to the hotel
he was shown to his new apartment, with
the information that the baggage Of the
former occupant had not been removed, but
that it would be taken away during. the
course Of the evening. 1t was growing
dark, SO our hero sat down by the window
to indulge in little twilight meditation,
and possibly cigar. Suddenly the door
opened, the frou-fou of woman's dress
was heard, and soft voice exclaimed,
Why, Jack, dear, when did you come
down? am so glad p and simultaneous
with the exclamation he found himself
"Tendsrly elasped In loving embrace
with pair Of long lashos Just sweeping his face :"
$50 am ]" was his very natural and in
voluntary rejoinder; whereupon there was
a shrek, rush, and slamming of doors,
and my friend was left alone 10 mediate at
leisure upon the charms of che twilight
hours.
