A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL AND HER BRAY

A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL AND HER BRAVE
REsCUER.-[From the Cameron (MissOur)
Observer "A few mornings since little
Etiie," bright-eyed, curly-headed tive-year
old, belonging to MIR. and Mrs. Parrish,
living on Main street, just south of Thomas
& Parry's livery stable, took a plunge bath
that came near resulting fatally. There is
deep we'll on the place, holding some
fourteen feet of water. 1t has no curb,
and water is drawn by means of
rope. "Ef6e" had been watching MIR:
Thomas drawing water from the vel!
In q bucket, which she called " kettle"
The rope broke, and the "kettle, Went
to the bottom. This troubled the little one.
and afterward, in peering into the we'll,
looking for the kettle, she lost her balance,
and plunged head first into the we'll. Her
mother heard her scream as she toppled
over, ran into the yard, and happening, by
the merest chance, to glance into the well,
saw 50 Elite as she came to the surface the
first time. Powerless herself, she ran to the
livery stable, shouting at every step, "Ethe' S
in the well, Effie's in the we'll" Mr. Thomas
was at the well in no time, and, without q
moments thought as to how he was going to
get out, plunged in, bracing himself Us best
he could against the smooth walls as he
went down, and reached the water in time
to meet Ellie con the way up' the second
time, and, of course, rescued her. AS soon
as the little one could get water enough out
and breath enough in to speak, she said to
MIR. Thomas: "Jack, l have found your
'kettle'; it was clear down to the BOTTOM"
and, sure enough. she had the rope tightly
clincbed in her little fingers. We hardly
know which to admire, the bravery OF the
man who ris1ed his life to save that of the
little girl, or the GOODNESS of the child in
hunting up the "kettle" when fourteen
feet under water.

A BRAVE ACT.-The Anne Arundel Ad-
rrl.,n,J,r oopfninc thn fp1lou.

A BRAVE Acr.-The Anne Arundel Id
vertiser of Thursday contains the follow
ing:
IAN accident showing great presence of
mind in q mere boy occurred in our com
m,nity short time since, and must not
nass ,nrrcordcd. The hero Of the incident
was Daniel Writ, Il student at st. Johns
College. about sixteen years Of age, ana
the locality the College creek. Young Writ
had gone down alone to the creek to take
a bath during recess, and soon after two
boys-the one son and the other nephew
of Professor Dashiell, aged respectively ten
and fourteen years-came down and enter
ed the water some fifty yards below him.
After awhile Writ missed tnu boys, and
sllSpectirg that something was wrong, ran
down the shore 10 their clothes. lie Then
saw the hair Of one of them float upon the
surface for moment and disappear. lie
immediately swan out to the spot and
Owed. He found them near together,
living on the bottom not altogether
Unconscious, for they clutched him
us he approached them. He discngaged
himself, however, and graspins each Of
them by leg, lifted them to the surface.
The water was there, fortunately, only
eight or ten feet in depth and holding the
boys III this way above his head, and partly
out OF the water, Writ managed, with their
added weight, to walk upon the bottom
some 10 or Is yards, and until he got within
his own depth, coming to the surface at in
tervals to breathe. After good deal Of
coughing and spluttcring the boys found
themselves able to thank their deliverer.
and to resume their clothes. 1t seemed
tlat young Dashiel, who could not swim,
had accidentally overStepped his depth, and
his COUSIN in attempting TO assist him, had
been dragged down with him. Their struy-
giles had carried them still further out, and
they say they had gone down three or four
times before the rescue came. Writ simply
said he thought if he attempted to save
them one at time the last would probably
have been dead before he could have been
brought to the Shore"

LEXINGTON, VA, June 3O.-An alterca-

Of the affray. CADET.
GSECOND DIsPATCH.l
LEXINGTON, Va, June 30.-A man naTaed
Fix was about to marry Miss Bollraan,
niece of G. T. Ackcrly. Her mother OPP
posed the match, and came to Lexington
this morning to consult friends. During
her absence, it appears that Ackerfy went
to the negro's cabin and accused him of
an intention to assist Fix in clipping with
his (Ackerly's) niece. From words they
came to blows, and the negro stabbed Ack-
erly with q small pocket-knife in the lower
abdomen.
The negro's daughter, when the quarrel
commenced, ran off to a neighbours house
and informed them that fight was going
on between her father and Ackerly. 1t
was nearly half an hour afterwards when
the first person arrived at the negroes cabin,
and found Ackcrly lying on the floor and the
negro sitting beside him tanning him. Ack-
erly was still alive, but said nothing in
reference to the quarrel or its cause.
The negro has, most quiet and peaceable
character; had worked all day yesterday in
the field by Askerly's side, and appears
very much distressed at what had occurred.
He did not make any attempt to escape,
and willingly accompanied some ncighbors
to town, who took him before magistrate,
by whom he was committed to Jail. Ackcrly
was also quiet, peaceable, and inofensive
man. These are all the particulars of this
sad affair that can gather, and think in
| the main correct. CADET.
