Wonderful.-A young child of Henry
Allen, of Bennington, VI. about five
years old, ran out with his cousin TO see
him draw pail of water; the little fell
low anxious to see the bucket dip. the
curb being low, fell head-frst into the
well, which was about forty feet deep,
with four or five feet of water. His
little cousin gave the alarm, but there
was no person about the house except
women, and the aged and decrepid
grand father, who is between 70 and 80
years of age, and who was slowly recov-
erng from severe paralyiic shock
But the old gentleman Mr.. Webster, a
soldier of the Revoiution) forgetting his
age and intirmities, descended into the
we'll, and, TO his great establishment and
joy, found his darling grandson sustain
ing bis mouth just above the water, by
one hand clincbed hold of the well
chain. What rendered his escape more
miraculous, is, that the well is so small
that Mr.. Webster, few years since,
attempted 10 descend it and could not.
The child passed between the wall add
the bucket, and, from the mud in his
hair, his head must nave struck againsr
the bottom. Exertion over, the child
restored unhuIt 10 his mothers arms,
the old gentleman burst into flood Of
tears, and all but tainted in his chair.
