afternoon little girl named Semira Prem
tice, six years old, who lives with Robert
Getty on Edgar's farm, east of the Asylum.
fell into a well sixty feet deep. She was
probably playing inside the curb and slipped
off. The bucket was up at the time, leaving
the passage unobstructed from the mouth Of
the well TO the top of the water in it,. The
water III 1t was six feet deep, and the dis
tance to 1t, as measured yesterday, was fifty
four feet. This distance the little girl fell
passing through the water 10 the bottom:
the latter fact being proved by the great
quantity of sand in her hair when she was
drawn up, and by her own expressions in re-
gard to her descent. When she rose to the
surface OF the water she sustained herself BY
clinging to the walls, immediately crying,
Pull me up so loud as to be heard by
Mrs Getty, the only person at home tn.
lady, upon running to the well, and discov-
ering the childs position, lowered the buck
ct and told the little creature to get in; bat
no persuasion could induce her to do as di-
rected. Reaching as high up on the rope as
she could, she took hold of it, and the lady
began to draw her up. When about half
the distance, but not half the danger had
been passed, the child said she couldn't hold
she must fall but the assurance from
above that it would be certain death to let
go, nerved her for a last effort, and tighten
ing her childish grasp with the strength Of
despair, up she came TO the top, her head
sinking down as if life had left her. In an
hour afterwards she was "as lively as Il
cricket "-unhurt even TO the extent Of
scratch on her person - Dayton Gaz.
RECIPE FOR MAKING GRAPE WGNE.-When
the grapes are fully ripe, and have been re-
moved from the vineyard to the place as
signed for making the wine. they should b.
assorted, and all the green and decaycl ones
be removed. Then put them into barrel
about bushel at time, stems and grapes,
and pound them thoroughly till all the grapes
are mashed. Continue the process Till ak
are finished that you wish TO make up al
that time. The next process is 10 press out
the Juice or must. Then 10 every gallon
add two pounds of sugar, and stir it thor
oughly till all the sugar is dissolved. Il IS
then put into barrels for the purpose OF fey
Imentation, there to remain, with frequent
filing up to supply the waste, till the pom
ace is all fermented off. A supply OF the
must should be on hand for that purpoge -
The barrels should not be bunged up until
the fermenting process is about completed
This may easily be ascertained by placing
your ear to the bung. If in April or May
the wine should be found clear, i, may BE-
raCked off, but if unsettled it should be LEI:
till fall If the wine is found to be lust
what you want it at the time of racking,
bottle as much as you choose but if not
let it remain on the lees, and the article
/ will increase in character and strength.
/ would remark that all grapes raised in
! this section of the country do not contain
enough sugar or saccharine matter to make:
! good wine without the addition of sugar.

4 up in the election returns of the lst Con-
gressional District in Iowa. 1t appears, as
stated in the Iowa City Republican, that

trict, by which the election of Clark was
defeated This looks like a fraud, and
Clark, it is supposed, will contest the cleo

The Republican also says, that it has in
