A Fsarful AdYnnturs.

A young man in Ionia county, Michi-
gan, last week descended we'll to clean
out the sand at tie bottom. While he
was thus engaged, the stones began to
fall, and his father hearing the rumbling.
shouted to him to Jump upon the
bucket" and Immediately commenced
drawing him up with all possible speed.
The strife of the next minute or 80 was
intense, and the scene awful. He was
kept in advance of the falling masses of
stones and dirt that were filling the
cavernous depth below him, till within
about 10 feet of the surface. The caving
was too rapid, and there the stones caught
and instantly wedged him in. As sooa
as possible the neighbors we're aroused
and in short time hundred or two
were at the scene of the disaster. The
young man was yet alive, as they learned
from time 70 time, BY hearing his smoth-
cred groans and faint answers to their
questions. The work of rescuing him at
orce commenced, great care being used,
as stone after stone was gently removed,
lest the treacherous and sandy earth
around should be disturbed. and
cave in anew, and thus fill up the in
terstces which might otherwise afford
air sufficient to sustain life for some
hoars at least The anxiety, of course,
was most intense, aud the suspense of
his parents and friends fearful; while
their hopes alternately rose and fell, as
now they could distinguish a groan, or
a feeble response to their questioning,
and anon all wAuld be still again. Fl
nally, after four hours labor, they reached
the sufferer, and found him sitting upon
the sharp edges Of the bucket, with a
boulder in bis lap, sitting erect, with his
head thrown back against a portion Of the
circular wall, two or three stones resting
partly against his head, and so inclined as
to rest partly against the wall and each
other, and wedge" He was securely
held imnoVable in bis position, and for.
tunately the stones were so arched and
keyed that they did not again start du
ring all the time that the men we're en-
gagged in digging him out On being
raised to the open air, the young man
swooned, but soon revived. No bones
were broken, and his bruises were so
slight that after two or three days he
was out, apparently in his usual health.
