The Fulton (N. " Patriot gives an ac-
connt of an incident that occurred in the
town of CRANKY, in that county, q few days
ago, which is striking illustration Of par
entail devotion and hcrosm: ..
On the 10th inst. the wife of Mr.. ]. II
Snydam was brought to the door OF her own
house by the piercing cry of one Of the little
ones. and on going tn the we'll saw it sink
ing in the water, eighteen feet below the
surface of the ground. The hired girl was
instantly sent Tor the nearest man, t'he IA
lIicr being away from home at that time -
The mother stepped her foot over the curb,
for the purpose Of Gcrccndng, but on re.
hecting that her own life was in jeopardy,
she Withdrew it again, aud stood watching
the struggles of her pratting boy. Bat, as
he came up the last time, and threw him
self on his back, he looked up at his moth.
cr, and said, in the expression of his coun-
tenance, "Ma, cunt you help me?' The
mother waited no longer for help or health,
but in an instant descended into the well
and caught the little one by the arm and held
him out OF the water.
Her little son, four years and half o'd,
went into the house, emptied the pail hook
ed it on the pole, and lowered itby the sweep
which was nearly heavy enough to rOso 4
pail Of water. This proving OF no use, the
mother thought she must either drop tbC
child or drown herself. Making a desperate
effort, she climbed up the slippery stones un
til she was near the top, when she reisct
him bodily over her head, when Franky
lying down on the platform, caught his lit
tie brother by the arm and cried out, IL vt
got him, ma, I've got him !" Thus the lit
tie sufferer was rescued some time beror,
help arrived.
