MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-A cores
pondent at West Bloomfield, sends us the follow
ing particulars Of q miraculous escape from death,
which occurred in that town. On Friday, the Oh

nature and results Olin has we'll some As feet in
depth which from the nature Of the SOIL could not BE-

from decay otherwise 1t found necessary to re-
place tRe% with osnels For this purpose a1Sorer
in the progress of his labors it became necessary to
ascend for which purpose windlass and tub we're
used. When near the top having plank With him
in the tub, the curbing and earth around him in
stsntly gave way and carried plank and tub out
of sight with the velocity of thought Instantly efforts
were made to rescue the man Peril ate nded every
movement to those above. and him below. But they
dug on and, after while, could hear the voice Of
their subterranean friend calling for help! Anon no

has one note OF 500 which he took supposngt to
be good at the time, from the hands Of s. O. Mead Il
supposed that the genuine notes have either been

have never been issued by Miller.-Bosfon Csnrier.
Winter seems to have fairly set in in L. Canada For
