PERU, March 31.-Boyd Wilson, an inmate Of
the county asylum, and who was returned to
this county as incurably insane, escaped week
ago from his keepers. Since that time nothing
was heard of him until early this morning
when City Marshal Bozarth, and Deputy Sheriff
Butler received notice that man answering
Boyd's description had been seen fin Boone's
woods, north of this city. The officers i'm medi-
ately visited the spot, when D.est pitiable
spectacle met their view. Wilson was lying in
pile of ashes and smoldering fire, his clothing,
which consisted of coat, shirt and pants, being
almost burned off him He was badly burned
about the face, arms aud breast, and had been
lying there evidently all night in the rain and
cold He had no shoes socks, and, in bring
use blankets to cover his person. He will be
taken to the poor-house as soon as he can be
moved from the Jail, where he now is.

The Sinking of the Oregon.

The pilot boat and the small boats had left
the sinking ship with heavy loads Of human
freight, having about one hundred persons
aboard. The steamer was settling lower each
minute, the prom being much lower than the
stern, and IL seemed that each moment was 10
be the last We could a lmOst feel the asst
convulsive CULVER preparatory TO the final
plunge. This was an exceedingly trying mo-
ment. There were no life preservers. as the
heavy sea had carried them overheard. Stand
ing rather apart from the other passengers,
was beautiful girl whose terrified face de-
picted the horrors of the fearful experience.
A tall handsome young man stood beside her
with his arm tenderly encircling her slender
waist. He was evidently trying TO comfort her
with hopes of rescue: but the sweet creature
saw to plainly that unless something unlocked
for should occur they would soon lie at the
bottom of the great ocean, far away from
sweet home and dear friends. The young fel-
low was about to tell his sweetheart that they
were lost when one of the sailors raised loud
cry, and looking over the bow of the boat the
passengers saw something dark standing out
toward them, and as the vessel drifted n little
nearer, all saw that IL was a great sign hang
ing suspended to something, and upon the sign
were these words: Emerson holds the bridge
to help the folks over" and in few minutes
they all stood safely upon old mother earth
They all shook hands with Uncle Emerson
and many of them accepted the assistance he
offered as they had lost all their effects on the
sinking ship. ~
