A Remarkable Adventure.

About five weeks ago a son % Or. w.
ii. Eldridge Of this district suddenly dis
appeared. and was not heard from until
last Saturday. The boy says that on the
evening OF Oct. 10. rs he was leaving the
apothecary store on Bunker Hill street,
where he was employed. he was approach
ed by man who informed him that a fire
was raging In the yacinity Of Chelsea
bridge, and asked him 10 90 down aud see
il. Arriving at the bridge no fire was to
be seen. and when Just on the point Of re-
turning he was seized around the neck
by the man. who choked him until he be-
came unconscious. robbed him and then
threw him over the railing into the waters
of the Mystic. The chill which the plunge
into the river gave To his system restored
him so that he was able to attempt to save
himself. The tide was running out. and he,
being a skillful swimmer, kept from
drowning and floated down stream until
opposite East Boston. where friendly
spar which was floating in the water came
near 10 him, and gaining this he foated
out To sea. He subsequently, became UNI
conscious, and when he rallied again he
was out of sight of land, still clinging To
the log. After remaining in the water
nineteen hours he was rescued by a brig
bound for Greenland. and as he did not
care TO visit that country he was placed on
board an English steamer, the name Of
which he states was the Norman. and car
riea To Liverpool. He improved the first
opportunity 10 return home in the steam
er Smyrna. which arrived at this port last
Saturday boston Globe.

Just equal five on each. and both the
leaders still hravely holding their positions.
Then the county official struck a suag and

valiantly were swept away. and Mr.. James
betook himself IN earnest TO the work OF

The feminine leader was the next victim,
reducing the quintet 10 a quartet. on one
side the minister being ''leit blooming

James became almost frantic In his zeal TO
hunt up hard words. but for several min
utes the four were invulnerablc. At this
iuncture he threw aside the book he had
been using, and. with a sardonic smile up
on his face he went down into his coat

For some time vague hints had been
thrown out about that dernier resort. and

With fiendish delight Mr.. James hurl-
ed those polysyllabic thunderbelts at the
little class standing before him. At
length the young lady and the expounder
OF the Gospel both got entangled in the
folds of an atrocious six-syllabled word,
and only two were left. After successfully
resisting the bombardment for a few min
ures. the ''other fellow"-not the pencil

honor Of the press-slipped uf on a word
