fell into well sixty feet deep. She was
probably playing inside Of 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 was six feet
deep, and the distance to it, as measured
yesterday, was fifty-four feet. This dis
tance the little girl fell, passing through
the water to the bottom; the latter fact be-
ing proved by the great quantity Of sand in
her hair when she was drawn up, and by
her own expressions in regard to her de-
scent. When she rose to the surface Of the
water she sustained herself by clinging to
the walls. Immediately crying, "Pul me
up" so loud as to be heard by Mrs. Getty
the only person at home. The lady upon
running to the well, and discovering the
child's position, lowered the bucket and
told the little creature to get in; but no
persuasion could induce her to do as direc-
ted. 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
le. go, nerved her for last effort, and
tightening 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 a cricket"--unhurt even to the
extent of a scratch on her person!
The presence of mind exhibited By Mrs.
Getty was only less extraordinary than the
courage Of the little girl. The escape of
the latter from death is perfect marvel
She learned lesson however, that she will
never forget, and we will state it in her
own language, for the benefit of the other
little people: "You always told me-" said
she TO Mrs. Getty, chat I'd fall in the well
but oudn't believe it Yoa know best"

DR.. OLDs Is AFTER THE METHoDIsTs.-
He is becoming quite methodistical. The
whites of his eyes are turued up, and the
point of his chin is turned down, and his
visage has grown 10 such an unconscionable
length that his friends scarcely recognize
him. He wears a white neckerchief and
black coat, and in addition to his specs,
he intends TO sport white hat next week
1t is said that the chickens squal and fly
home affrighted, whenever they see him
enter door yard. he SO resembles Meth
odist preacher. AT Groveport he made a
sort of an attempt to exhort and told the
people ,hat he once belonged to the Metho-
DIST Church; Mat many of his friends had
predicted he woud turn Methodist preacher,
aud that he get hoped to die Methodist.
If any other district in this broad Union
can bring out such another candidate for
Congress, we hope they will fetch him
here. for we would love to look at him.

TIE ERIE R. R. CoMpANY.--The New
York Day Book thinks the mortgaging OF
the rolling stock of this company to Com
modore Vanderbilt for 100000 is sealing
the Company's death warrant, and says:
The only available property is now pledg-
ed. The knives and forks and the last
shirt are mortgaged. How are these to be
: redeemed? The end will be that the com.
pany will by-andby foreclose his chattel
mortgage, and then the road will be work
ed or not as he chooses. He will in fact
be master of it, and the mortgage and
the bonds, and the convertibles will be at
his mercy.

The spirit Of dictator flashed out from

its cold irony in every tone Of his voice and
every gesture of his body. His manner as

illustration Of the possibility OF reversing
