WONDERFUL EscAPE-Ol the evening
of the 9Th ut., Mr.. Thomas S. Talfoid.
respectable citizen of Tuscaloosa county,
while in pursuit of his horse. fell into well
between 20 and so feet deep. He re-
NAMED there that night and the next day,
crushed by the fall on bricks at the bottom.
No person heard his cries for help, until a
little boy, between sunset and dark, threw
dead pig into the well. Mr.. Talford then
spoke, and the news soon spread. Ropes
were brought and Mr.. Joseph T. Pearce
descended the we'll with rope fastened to
his body, aud fixing another rope around the
ches, of NJ. Taltord, both were drawn up.

Duty of good Citizens. The following
jldicious remarks are copied from the New
England Puritan;
''Our Christian character is not enmplee
if we neg ect 10 render our country The SER
vice she demands Of US. 1t is no, enough
Tor Us 10 simply condemn the wrong which
is confessed to minge with the NOV ements
Of all political pa rites, and make en- excuse
for standing aioof from all political action.
He who makes his plety a reason for not vo-
ling for rulers,is guilty Of great inconsistent
cy. Until the World IS far better than i, is,
much OF wrong, much that is disgusting to
the pious mind, Will mingle with the action
of the people for the election of rulers. But
tho wrong action of our neghbors does not
excuse Us from right action. It is every
christian ireeman's duty TO use his privilege
of yo,ing, and to use i, in such way as

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.-A short
time ago Emmett, Murphy, an interest ng
child six years old, residing in PhladeIp hia
with his parents. in consequence of the ac-
cidenial introduction of a bean into his
windpipc, while swallowing. was seized
with violent pains in the throat, and the
substance gradually working downward 10
the lungs, he expired in great agony two
weeks after the occurrence. The death OF
the Greek poet. Anacreon. was occasioned
in a similar manner, the seed Of the grape
being the substance. The opening into
The windplpe is so small thai il would seem
almost incredible that any thing so large as
a bean should slip through it.
