execution of Stevens and HazIett. says:
The body of Stevens was claimed, we are

A LANTERN CANE-One of the most
unique of a recent Yankee inventions is
cane. which is also laBtern--a stout, ele-
giant, walking stick. and brilliant, steady
light. The lantern is set in the body of the
cane. about six incbes>from its top. and so
as not TO dis6gure its proportion or beauty.
and can be lighted at pleasure by pulling
the cane apart, or borne along dead, when
the cane, without close observation. is un-
distinguisiable from an ordinary. large-sized
walking stick. It is useful invention for
doctors. watchmen. editors of daily papers,
young men who .'sit up" late with people
who are not their sisters; and all other class
es wLo have to be out o'nights.

Adventure in a Well.

A CORES pondent of the London Times
states that in the Commune d'Ecully, in
France. two men were buried alive in a well,
by a fall of loose earth. and that after tween
ty days one of them was taken out alive
having survived the want of air, light and
food. throughout that long period, in addi-
ton to the impossibility of moving and the
presence by his side of the dead body of
his unfortunate companion, for consider
able portion of the time.
This statement about "wels' reminds us
of a rat her exciting adventure in which the
ianitor of one of our Medical Colleges of
this city once played a conspicuou- part and
nearly lost his life thereby. He was at one
time engaged in excayaling a well in this
vicinity, and having penetrated our mother
earth TO a considerable depth, it became nee
essary to do a little blasting. Five drills
were made in the solid stone, and all charged
with. powder and fuse, aud the adventurous
miner himself was lowered down the well in
a bucket. He produced his match and ig-
nited alive of the fuses, and Instantly gave
the signal for his assistants to draw him up
beyond the reach of the danger. He had
scarcely accomplished eight feet in the as
cent when by some unforeseen accident the
rope gave way, and he was precipitated In
to the very midst of the fuses his own hand
had lighted. Without moments hesita-
ton, and with great presence of mind, he
whipped out his jack and decapitased.

they could communicate TO the powder. and
thereby saved his life. aEas
