DIsTREssIne OCCURRENCE.

= III
Scarcely week passes that we have not TO
record the occurrence Of some fatal and melaD-
cAcly accident in soar county. This week We
have to record The death of Mr.. Henry Lee, oc-
leasioned BY the damp Of well. Mr.. Lee had
descended the well of Mr.. Sitter, . few miles
from town, on Friday evening last, for the puff
pose Of ascertainipg the cause Of the impurity Of
the water, and withou! using any precautionary
means TO ties. the character Of the aif Al the bot
tom Of the wel Immediately after his descent
he was asked whether il was not too damp for
him to remain, 10 which he replied sit was none
to hurt" After drawing up a bucket Of waller,
the question was repeated, 10 which he answer
ed he believed he would come up, and got into
the bucket for that patpose. Much haste was
made in drawing him up, but when about ten
feet from the top, he was observed TO have fallen
back, apparently in fain,ins condition, and in a
moment afterwards, los, all power, and went
aSsP' Assa f2ysPs e l4s RoS sSsSa rSBs siRhs
heard his skull was very much fractured. AT.
Ter much difficulty his body was taken Fl om the
well BY graphing irons. The well was about
sixty feet deep, so that he must have fallen near
fifty feet.
Mr.. Slifer had designed going down himself, but
was prevented By the "Reminiscences Of his wife,
to whom he may justly ascribe his preservation
from the same fate Of poor Lee.
The day previous, candies were let down, but
came back extiuguished, which circumstance
we believe Lee was made aware Ct, and Of
course relieves every one from censure. Lee
had dug the well, and did no, hesitate enter
ing, as he said he was familiar with il, and
had no fears.
This. is the season Of the year when great
caution should be used, and we hope this, mean.
choly event win make Others more cautious

Of Virginia that there is now esriaintg that the
Statue irin Be erected. The amount 10. hand is
not quAe sufficient, butsno doubtis entertained,
Ihai, when the several sums collected 10 many
Of The counties, and those within reach, BY lit
Tie exertion, shall have been added, the collec-
iions viii be ample. Let tho Ladies, however,
make one more effort, between this time and the
meeting Of the Legislature, so that whatever
funds are, yet accessible, and moi transmitted,
may be sent By the hands Of the members. 4.
The Ladies have nobly redeemed their pledg.
es, and shown that their venerstionfo the great
Statesman has been something more substantial
than mere words, and that the scofers at their
efforts will be confonnded and silenced.
Wing Editors through The State will give
the word round, thai the Statue is 10 be erected,
and that those who desire to have share 10 the
honor, must act promptly. ).
