over the curb, which was low, she lost her
foothold, and was precipitated to the bot.

The alarm was Immediately given to the
family, by the children. A lad in the
employ Of Austin was in the house-he
Immediately ran to the well and descend

hands, to keep her head above water
rope was thrown to him, but he preferred
70 bring her up in his arms, as he said she
might be bruised against the stoning of the
well. He brought her up, and what is
wonderful, she had sustained no serious
iDjury-some slight Commissions, and cut
on the forehead, about an inch long, which
she says was occasioned by the bucket
after she was in the bottom of the well,
are all the harms she has sustained.
