An Astonishing Fall.
From the santa Cruz senuneL,Aug. 81

lFrom the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Aug. 81
One sf the most singular accidents
that ever occurred in this county hap
pened to a daughter OF Mr.. Wood, Of
Woods Lagoon, ON Tuesday afternoon
last. Under the kitchen floor Of her
fathers premises is a well thirty-eight
feet deep. About halfway down is a
platform with a man.hole through the
centre. just large enough for q man to
pass through. Some repairs becoming
necessary, the trap-door was raised and
the suction pipe removed. Miss Wood,
who is IL years Of age, and who is not
by any mean slender for her years, al
ter returning from school on said after
noon. went into the kitchen. She was
not aware Of the fact that the trap-door
was removed, and the apartment being
rather dark, she fell into the we'll. The
singular circumstance connected with
the accident was, that she passed I'M
scathed through the little hole in the
centre OF the platform halfway down,
falling unhurt into tho water below.
Any person deliberately making the ex-
pertinent, and endeavoring TO leap
through this orifco would fall 900 times
out Of 1000, and would inevitably strike
the platform. The screams Of the girl
attracted the attention OF her father,
who speedily rescued her from drown
ing. Beyond the shock to her nervous
system sustained by the fall. Miss Wood
entirely escaped all injury. II was one
OF the most p%royidentia escapes imag-
Unable. On Wednesday, the day after,
the young lady lad a fainting spell, and
DR.. Pagan was summoned. She was
speedily revived to consciousness, aud
