CAvIsG In OF A WELL. -HearireN9ing ,9Dar. /
On the 10Th inst Mr.. Casper Hiblcr, residing
near Dallastown, York county, Pa, wont TO his
well in tho yard, for the purpose of drawing
water, when the walls caved in precipitating
him down the well, distance of seventeen feet
(the well is about forty feet deep,) where he
was firmly held by earth aud stone, unable to
extricate himself. Tho Eagle says.
AT the time the accident occurred MIR. Htbler
was alone at home, his wife having gone to
visit his mother, who was Ill. She returned
about five O'Clock, and not finding herhusband
in the house, she called and received an an
swer, when, on searching for him, she found
that he was in the we'll. Tic alarm was immr-
diately given, and strenuous efforts made by
the neighbors to rescue him from his peTllous
situation. They worked faithfully, and at one |
time were within eighteen inches of him, the |
unfortunate man conversing with them all The |
time. Their cXertions, however, seemed to |
avail but little, for as fast as they succeeded in
removing the earth and stones, fresh quantities |
would fall in upon him. Finding their eXcr.
tons in his behalf of no avail, the doomed |
man, shortly after midnight, requested that his
wife might be brought within hearing OF his
voice, that he might bid her last tarcwcll.--
His request was complied with, and we leave
the reader to imagine tho scenc-thG anguish
OF mind Of her who, on the l1th OF April last
he led to the altar bride At one o'clock on
Tuesday morning he ceased to exist and bis
liicless body was found about four o'clock,
much bruised, with one hand oil

THE BURDELL WILL CASE The Burdell
Will case attracts much attention in New York,
and will doubtless result in establishing the
validity Of the marriage. The Testimony on
Monday, proves concusively that either DR..
Burdcli, was ubiquitous, or there has been no
slight departure from truth on the part of wit
ncsses for either side; Tor while il has been
positively sworn that he was in llcrSimnr on
the 25th 10Th, and 9th Of October last, Mon
days evidence shows him TO have been in New
York. Again in his declarations OF and rcll-
tions TO Mrs. Cunningham, he appears Janus
likcat one and the same time writing and
speaking of he: us 'shc devil and an 'angal,
'ilend in human shape, and ethc best woman
that ever lived, for whom she would sacrifice
his life. Miss Van Ness, who had long cN-
perience, testiiies to the most unyaiying and
tender intercourse between them.
