A FAMILY IN PERIL.

the Snfll scream OF Il woman and the
excited voices of men, coming from
the vicinity of Spring street, indicated
that something unusual was on the
taps; so, hurting in the direction of
the uprOar, we found the excitement
was caused by an accident, though
ludicrous in the extreme, might have
been attended with fatal results. OF
late, the waters running through the
nnail w~atercourse of town have be-
come quite turbulent, owing to the
rapid melting of the snow. \ portion
OF the stream passes in close prOxim-
ity to the residence of John Rant, on
Spring street. His little girl, while
playing near the bank of the mean-
deriny stream. lost her balance and
fell into the seething torrent, and was
being rapidly carried away by the an
Cry waters, when her elder sister, a
brave little girl, jumped into the ditch
to rescue her from, to all appearances,
Il watcry grave. The volume of wa
ter in its swift curse was too much
for the strength Of the brave girl, who
was also being driitcd down the stream
with her sister, when Mrs. Rant, hear
ing their screams, rushed to- the scene.
The mother, forgetting all but the
pcrilOuS condition of her darlings,
sprang over the bank to the rescue; but
her fright, combined with the swift
running wafer, WAS too much. and she.
with her cherished offspring. were
rapidly being carried along by the wa
ter. The excitement was now intense.
and the crowd, augmented by the ar
rival of six hurdles, and numerous
other women, gave vent to the most
he%artrcnding screams, when John
Rant, the father and husband, APP
peared. No time was to he lost; wife
aud daughters were gradually sue
cumbing to the aqueous element, and
he plunged into the raging torrent,
gra>peu his wife in one arm, raising
her TO the bank. and then he speedily
recovered the drowning children. His
action was aPplaudcd by the admiring
crowd, and his heroi>m caused the
witnesses of the scene to rend the air
with their shouts and cries; but John
needed them not; he had saved all that
was dear to him, and those who stood
calmly on were taught Il lesson by
the bravery and heroic action of the
little daughter and the loving parents.
