letter, stating that the writer had the

took no notice Of the letter. Another
more urgent and specific letter fajIed to

TO meet them in tie bullion room at any
hoIr they pleased to name. They then
communicated with their correspondent
through the channel lie had indicated,
appointing some dark and midnight
hour" for the rendezvous. A deputation
from the board, lantern in hand, repaired
to the bullion room, locked themselves in i,
and awaited the arrival OF the mysterious

noise was heard below. Some boards in
the flor were without much trouble dis
placed and in few minutes the Guy
Fa~ ke5 Of the bank stood ia the midst Of
Tie asionished directors. His story WAS
very simple and straightforward. An old
drain ran under the bullion room. the
existence Of WHICH had become known to
him, and by means Of which he might
have carried away enormous sums -
Ioquiry was made. Nothing had been

A YOUNG HEHo.-Here is a case which
we question if its parallel can be found
anywhere On Sunday last, little boy
named Kline, about fourteen years Of age,
employed in driving a gin horse. used
for pumping water out Of one Of the coal
mines at Mascoutah, in this county, got
into tussle with another Lao, who at
tempted to take his whip away from him.
While struggling to retain possession OF
his Whip, the other boy Suddenly let 90
his hold on it, and little Kline fell backs
wards into the open shaft, and was pre-
cipitated 10 the bottom-a distance Of one
hundred and fifty .hree feet. The crowd
of loiterers around the shaft had no other
thought than that young Kline had been
killed, but hearing cry from him, they
soon found meals to bring him to the
surface lie had fallen into the water or
" slump" at the bottom of the shaft, in
such manner as to break no bones. No
sooner had his feet touched terra tirma
than he scampered off home as fast as bis
LEGS could carry him-returning very
shortly with his muddy and dripping
clothes replaced by u dry suit, and in less
than forty minutes from the time OF the
accident lie was again driving his horse
just as if nothing had happened.-BeHe
