BURIED IN A WBLL-Narroao EscGpe.-On
Tuesday, while MIR. o. N. Travis was exca-
waiting a well in cellar, the sides caved in
and buried him to the shoulders. Every eff
fort was made to extricate him, but to no
avail, until the cellar wall was taken out, and
large pit dug to take him out ut the side.
The fire bells were rung, and Elliot Engine
Co. turned out, and many of the members
did not hesitate to place themselves in dam
gerous situations for the sake of doing good
service. AS the news spread, large numbers
of persons assembled to assist in relieving Mr.
Travis from his perilous situation. The acct
dent occurred at eight clock in the morning,
and he was not taken out till four o'clock in
the afternoon. making eight hours that he re-
NAMED up to his shoulders in sand ; but when
taken out he was able to stand and walk alone
and was quite comfortable at seven o'clock
Tuesday evening. Mr.. j. Colburn, who was
at work with Mr.. Travis at the time. got into
the we'll and did not leave him, working hard
all the time in great danger of his own life.
When the accident occurred, his feet were
seventeen feet below the bottom of the cellar.
Two others were buried so much that they
were obliged to be dug out Boston Journal.

SILAs WRIoHT's WEALTH. The DaSlv
Wisconsin,, edited by Cramer, formerly of AL
bany, speaking Of the wealth of the most
eminent American statesmen, concludes bis
list with the following reference to Silas
Wright
"Silas Wright, with his estate Of S4, 900,
was really weather. than many others with
800, 900. lie owed no man anything he
met his obligations with the utmost prompt
ness, and never INDUCED in any luxury that
he could not pay for. He was a model of re-
publican simplicity. 1t should also be under.
stood that he was not mean in saving money.
There was something glorious in witnessing a
great statesman like Silas Wright never ask
ing pecuniary favor, or even accepting one,
yet possessing only an income that could sup.
port him and his wife in frugality. When he
was elected Governor OF the great State of
New York, he was known to be too poor to
furnish his house. His rich friends got to-
gether, aud, without his knowledge, made up
a subscription. which was rendered to him as
a gift, in order 20 furnish his mansion. This
he respectfully but kindly declined, saying
with true Roman grandeur, that he could
not consent to receive such a favor from any
one-even from his most esteemed friends he
was elected by the people to be Governor Of
the oJale OF new lorki ana ne considered IL
his imperative duty to live on whatever in
come the people had appended to that office !;
and he did live on that income while ne was
Governor, is good style, but with no ostenta-
ton. Such an example on the part of so
eminent a man as he was in one of those
precious legacies that the young men of the
present day should bear in mind-as no true
greatness can ever be achieved so long as
they are the pecuniary slaves even of their
nearest friends. When public man receives
favors that be cannot repay, he loses that
sturdy Independence so essential to usefulness
and an enduring popularity. Live within
your income, is more important to one who
aims to be an influential and useful statesman,
than any other MAXIM"
