A Man Buried AHvc--lHis Grave One
Hundred and Twenty Feet Deep.

From the Holly Springs (Aliss.l Republican.
We are told by Mr.. Willie Wooten Of the
following distressing occurrence which hap
pened on his fathers place, some seven miles
southwest Of Holly Springs, on the morning
of the 18th instant
A negro man named Ben Yarbrough had
been employed by Major Wooten to curb a
well situated in his yard Ben came OH the
morning mentioned, and was let down into
the we'll some feet, when he desired to stop
and examine the decayed curbing. In feel
ing around this place, some of the planks
being very loose, the earth and curbing be-
gan giving in. when Ben yelled out from be-
low to "draw him up"
The men-tive in number-engaged at the
Windlass Immediately began winding the
fated man towards the top; ut the same time
Major Wooten inquired of Ben what was
the matter. The only answer was a rolling;
errlmbling crash of planks and earth falling
in above the man, entirely closing him from
view. The men piled themselves to the
windlass now with every effort, but did not
move an inch, so heavy was the weight
around 1t. 1t was evident to all that the man
was lost unless the planks Of the curb had
fallen crosswise in such a manner rs to sup
port the earth which had fallen from above,
and thus prevent the weighty mass from
carrying him TO the bottom of the well, Il
distance of 120 feet.
An appeal was made. TO the negroes stand.
ing around to go DOWN into the well and see
If they could not rescue their buried friend.
But no! The crashing sound was too terri
BILE, too awful, for them to think of going
down. perhaps TO share the same cold, damp
grave of the buried well.digger. Major
Wooten sent Immediately to the nearest well.
digger in the neighborhood, and it was de-
cided upon his arrival to be safest to get new
plank, make q new curling, and go to work
re0pening the well, and curb us the digging
progressed to prevent caying in. The day
was well-nigh spent when the plank for the
curbing was brought from Holly Springs.
At this writing the unfortunate man has not
been found, though the well is reDpened to
the place where the curbing gave way. 1t
is now supposed he was carried to the bot.
tom by the falling earth, and lies buried
there.

Disin~enuous Quotations.

Tho advertising mania has been productive
of GREAT many evils as well as of vast
on,onnt of good. Among its most apparent
evils are those Of vandalism and false pre-
fences. OF the former of these, the example
NJ rho man who placarded his "bitters" on
fine base of the great pyramid Is ever fresh.
OF the latter, the example of the "Doctor :
who managed to sting Mr.. Beecher into re-
plv on the subject Of trusses, is ever amusing.
It is true that Mr.. Beecher gave the Doc
tor" and his trllsSeS too, lcar1ul literary
scoring; but it had been better tor
his case had he left the matter alone alto
cethcr, for ever since the publication OF the
letter the truss man adyertises that, among
the thousands of letters to be seen at his
Office, many of them ovcltlowing with heart
felt gratitude, is one from the Rev. henry
Ward Beechcr. Oh course, only one IN ten
thousand goes to see the letter, Whllc inc
other nine thousand nine hundred and nine
ty-nine rest under the conviction, not oply
that NJ. Bcecher wears Il truss, but that he
has put on record, bona tde, his eternal
gratitude to the man who made IL Tor nun.
This is species Of dlslngenuous quotatlon
that NAV he "smart." but is certainly false
prctencc. 1t is only next in utter immortality
RI tho living "qrlotations" which the more
unscrupulous third-rate publishers and the
atrical managers parade under the title OF
.IOpinions Of the Press" We have occa-
sionallv read on the advance bills of coun-
try circus the most astonishing encomilns
ON the character and standing OF 4
"show" that is never seen in the
CITY. credited directly to the Tribune or
the Herald, and even to Horace Greeley
and james Gordon Bennett themselves.
1--WE assure our readers this startling
=" opinion would read. "tl,at we never
spent happier evening than with our old
friend, jim Buskn,. the finest and funniest
clown in the world" The drolf absuTdity OF
this. to metropolitan eyes, is not so easily
discovered in the rural districts, and espc-
ciallr where, as it is somewhere hlmorouSIy
related, ut tie approach Ola circus the eni!re
population rush to the bank and draw out
all their money.
This fraud, however. is vcnial compared
with Il fraud upon the reading public which
is almost daily perpetrated through the
medium of advertising. This consists in
quoting from book review line or two
hero and there, OF even three or four words,
which create a false impression of the opin-
ion held of the work under review By the
newspaper in which the criticism is printed.
4 s,lpposititious example or two will make
this clear much better than column OF
explanation

Ordinary newspaper readers may have lit
tie idea Of the extent and variety OF tins
practice, although it is unnecessary TO say
that it is confined to third and iourtll-rate
houses exclusively. TO tirst-caSs publishers
the ignorant pun' of "critic" should be
offensive, and probably is, although 4 due
regard for their own business interests causes
them to reproduce it us an advertisement Of
their book.

lie will have at us with his quotations, and
rather than not use them at all he will saddle
their paternity upon some one who never
dreamed the sentiments they utter. Thus,
not long since. Il writer in metropolitan
daily declared that Horace had said of ambi-
ton that il
".Equo puls1t pedc, pa"pcrum labeinas,
Icgulnque tllrrcs."
Now, in the first place, ambition does no.
thing of the kind, and in the second (Which
Is more pertinent), Horace never said it did.
But whether the writer knew better or not,
it is impossible to say. Maybap it was the
tendency to fine writing which mised him,
It's it mislcd another young man who, III
dramatic criticism of IL leading New York
daily paper, spoke of DR.. Johnson's irene as
a "tugcdy which shook the hearts of the
