A miraculous escape from starvation. --A Man Three Days in a Stump.--The Memphis Argus publishes the following interesting article in relation to the disappearance for three days of a man who was afterwards found in the stump of a tree, and rescued from his uncomfortable imprisonment: We have just learned of a miraculous escape from starvation, of a young gentleman residing in Lauderdale county, Tenn., near Hale's Point.

The inside of the tree was rotten, and would not bear his weight. Now, he was in a dilemma; five miles from any habitation, inside of a stump twenty feet high, with no prospect of assistance, with nothing to subsist on but the goose eggs, he screamed and yelled until he was nearly exhausted, no one coming within hearing distance. On the third day after his incarceration, two gentlemen were out hunting and came within hearing distance. They were very much frightened at hearing a man groaning inside of the stump, and for some time they could not reconcile themselves to what it meant; but, having learned that the gentleman had been missing from home for several days, they were soon satisfied that it was no ghost inside the tree.
