Thrilling seene--A Man Buried In wei

The Bradford (yt.) Telegraph of the Both ult.
furnishes the following particulars of sad calam-
ity at that place on the Saturday previous:
A Mr.. Obadiah Gage, a man about fifty years of
age, was employed by John Merrill in repairing an
old well. The well having become dry, Mr. Gage
was sinking it deeper, and had reached depth of
about TWENTY-FIVE feet. small breech in the
lower part OF the work had already given indica-
tions of danger, and he had been warned to aban-
don the work; but intimating to those above that
there was no present danger, and that he would
soon come up he proceeded with his labor until
quarter before Ii o'clock A. NJ, when all of sud.
den one side of the lower portion Of the well gave
way commencing at. the bottom and running up
some seven or eight feet, closely followed by the
quicksank outside the brick then completing the
entire destruction Of the lower portion, burying
Mr.. Gage, and leaving about fifteen feet of the
upper part of the well uninjured.
The news was soon brought to the village, and
crowds of people Immediately hastened to the
scene of the accident with shoyels and spades.
When we reached the spot, about an half hour
after the disaster, man had descended the well
and was dipping up buckets full Of sand, which
| were drawn up by those above. 1t soon became
apparent, both from the danger of the situation
and from the fact that the sand rushed through the
brick fast it could be gathered up, that some
| other method must be adopted for the release OF
/ the unfortunate man. although at that time his
| head was probably not more than two feet under
the EARTH Forty or fifty shovels were Immediately
| at work, and rumor that sounds had been heard
from Gage added not little to the zeal with which
| the aborers applied themselves. For an hour and
| half the shoveling continued. making an exeava-
tion of about dozen feet in depth and thirty feet
| in diameter, the brick in the meantime being re-
| moved down to within few feet Of the breach.
| The occasional falling in of the embankment i'm
| peded the progress of the work somewhat, and
rendered it so dangerous to those at work below
that curb was finally made by mailing boards to
four inside posts and inside of this the work pro-
gressed until the body was finally reached. It was
fouud in an upright position so eompietely wefred
in with brick and sand that it was necessary to dig
| down as far as the knees before it could be ex-
tracted and it not until O'Clock in the after
noon that the dead body was raised from its sep
| ucher. The body still retained some warmth, anG
| no bruises of any account were found, but the
mouth and nose were completely filed with sand
| 1t is altogether improbable any sound was ever
| heard from Gage after the earth once closed over
| him. 1t is much more probable that all life and
consciousness were extinct in q very few moments
| after the accident occurred.

a CUNNING PIECE OF RAsc AIITy.-Th he New \ ork
Times tells the following story:
0ue Of our city clergymen was nearly taken in
and done for this past week by Foiiet, Goted
thief whose capture the Western police have
struggled in vain to achieve during the past five,
years. The clergyman found 500 bank mole,
and with that eminent honesty which unfortunately
belongs only to persons OF his cloth, advertised ne
same II the pg5Ho prints Shortly After Eoliet,
vine and told him he had lost similar amount, and
that il the note found was his it would have npnn
its back the name Of William Harvey, Williams
burg. The clergyman produced the bill, and as
there was no such mark thereon, it was decided
that the ownership was vested ia some other per-
son than the lthy farmer. The next day con-
federate, to whom Fol1et had communicated the
marks that were on the note, called on the finder,
and having satisfied himself of the accuracy Of his
knowledge, received the same from the nnsnspect-
ing dominic. Follets note to the clergyman, de-
failing the trick with characteristic effrontery has
been shown us. and we can bnt regret that such
talent as is certainly possessed BY thsrogue should
be kept concealed in so dirty napkin.

In the mountains of Gnara, at three leagues

some families o. peasants lived, While one Of the
priests was a few days ago, celebrating mass in
the presence of about thirty persons, ang of
brigands entered, and cesiag the doors, ordered
the priest to quit the altar. He obeyed, and they
stripped him of his sacerdotal ornaments, and
taking him to his own residence, bound him hand
and foot; they also removed all the people pres
ent, and bound them likewise. Then they called
on the priest TO say where his money was, and as
he refused. they hurned his feet. At length he
stated where the sum Of $4,000 reals (1501f1 was
deposited, and they seized oa Il, afterwards they

On Thursday last a young lady, named Miss
