j A New York correspondent vouches ; for the following incident as having 1 occurred during a wind storm, which did much damage in Elizabeth. New ; Jersey. Mrs. Walter P. Warden, I whose husband is captain of a hari hour steamboat, was leaning out of I a second-story window shaking a ; large lace bed canopy, when the 1 storm burst. It caught the bed can--1 opy, filling it like a parachute. Mrs. j I Warden held it valiantly, and tried ! jto drag it in, but vainly. She j j tightened her grip for another great i j effort when a second and more vio- j | lent squall pulled her entirely out' of j i the window, carried her over some j : buildings, and across a railroad track ; and deposited her safely on a lawn j 80ft. away. She had saved herself • by holding on tightly, and it is ad- i dod that by some people running to j ; her assistance, the canopy was also | ! saved. . j
