A FEARFUL ADVENTURE.

A Young man in Ionia county, Michigan,
last week descended well to clean out the
sand at the bottom. While he was thus en-
gagged, the stones began to fall, and his father,
hearing the rumbling, shouted to MN 10
',iump upon the bucket, " and immeoia.ely
commenced drawing him up with all possible
speed. The stiffness of the next minute OF
two was intense, and the scene awful. lie
was kept in advance of the falling masses Vi
stones and dirt that were filling the cavernous
depths below him, till within fifteen ieet Oh
the surface. The caving in was too RAPID,
and the stones caught and instantly wedged
him in. AS soon as possible the nelghbors
were aroused, and in short time hundred
or two were at the scene OF the disasVer'
The young man was yet alive, as they learn
ed from time to time, by hearing his smother
ed groans and faint answers to their ques
tions
The work of rescuing him commenced a.
once, great care being used, as stone aitel
stone was gently removed, least the treacner
Gus and sandy earth around should be dis
turbed and cave in anew, and thus fill up TN
interstices which might otherwise AFFORD al
to sustain life for some hours at least. In
anxiety of course, was most most intense
and the suspense of his parents and friend

t or q feeble response to their questioning, an
o anon all would be still again.
