A FEARFUL LEAP.--At about noon yes
tcrday IN incident occurred in this city,
the very relation Of which IS enough to
make one shudder. John Wilson, ian OPP
prentice 10 Mr.. Nayior, timer, &c.,) aged
about II years, was at work on the root OF
the rear portion Of the large boarding house
occupied by Mrs. Kelsey. The wall on the
east side Of this house is forty feet high
At the distance Of six feet from this, but a
FOOT and half higher is asimilar back bull
ding 10 the house occupied by Mrs. Limms
g. Son. Having frs. ascertained that he
could Jump seven feet on the root on which
be stood, Wilson said that he could jump from
roof to roof; and saying "here goes" to the
horror Of his companion made the leap, but
failing to ascend the required height, Crap
pied Tor the gutter spout. This gave way.
He fell, and, about fifteen feet below, seiz-
ed the epouting that ran obliquely along the
wall. This also yielded to his weight, and
went down with him, and he fell upon the
pavement, forty-one feet below the roof
His horror stricken comrade made his way
down as soon as possible under the influ-
ence Of his fright. Mr.. Simms heard the
fall, but supposing his dog had merely
thrown box over, he delayed going to the
door several minutes, when to his horror
be found The poor boy, half conscious, gasp
ing 6s breath. He INSTANTLY gave him NIL

Doyle and May were soon called in; and
10 the establishment Of every one, there wa.
no limb broken, and no dangerous burt, ms
far as it could yesterday be discovered
His back was bruised, we believe, and no
ANGLE soon became much swollen, but 10
the afternoons he partook Of some food, and
his physicians seemed to have favorable
hopes Of m.--Washington Republic.
