A MARROW ESCAPE.

The vicinity ABOUT the North WEBSTER
station was the scene of great excite
ment this afternoon, when Robert
Shaw, an employee of the cotton mills
there, had one of the most narrow es-
capes on record. Had it not been for
timely services of Joseph Carpenter, a
young lad of Is years, the accident
would have been fatal AS it was, i:
nearly terminated so.
Shaw was not working today. After
partakng of a hearty dinner, he went
to the banks of the river, which flows
past the mill, and, procuring his row.
boat decided to take row on the muir
ky waters of the Maanexit.
He had reached the bridge that spans
the river just above the railroad sta
ton, when the boat capsized, and the
unfortunate Shaw was precipitated into
the water.
Now Shaw was once a good swimmer,
50 he told the Webster correspondent
Of The Spy, a short time after the af-
fair had occurred, but he said that now
he was little out of practice, and that
was the reason that he did not swim
to shore.
Shaw shouted for help as loudly as ne
was able, and his cries quickly brought
assistance
Shaw had gone down the second time
when the young lad dived to his assist
ance He managed to save the drown
ing man, but he had all he could do in
performing the feat
With the help of others, he managed
10 get Shaw near to the shore, when
poles pushed out to the pair helped
them to terra firma. Shaw says moth
ing is too good for young Carpenter
