A BABY IN A WELL.-At RoSeville few days
ago. the little son of widow lady-a child three
or Iour years OF age-while playing near a we'll
1ell into IL. His fall was observed, and narties
ran 10 his rescue. 1t was found that he was on
the surface OF the water, which was about
twenty ieet deep, clinging to something and
apparently unhurt. The people cast about for
means to save him, but found that the well
rope was not strong enough to sustain the
weight or man, ana it would be dangerous to
lne cnlld, 10 say nothing of anything else for
any one TO try to descend. While a messenger
was nastenlng for strong rope the well bucket
was placed within the child's reach and he was
glrected to get into it and hold on to the rope.
Inc Inc nttle Fellow, in an effort to do as he was
toio, put his feet on the edge of the bucket and
ciasped the rope with hts hand; then those
apONe MIN commenced to draw him no. It was
moment or intense suspense; scarcely breath
was drawn, as with exceeding care the rope
was handled and the bucket gradually assembled
VII the brave child clinging to it courageously.
II ne lost his hold and fell he doubtless would
perlsh, Tor 1t was almost too much to expect
lnat ne could fall twice into such perilous
pace and escape. But gradually the bucket
aScended, slowly and surely, and when at last
tne boy was where he could be reached and
strong hand grasped him there was grand
Shout OF relief from all. And the qualification
was increased when it was subsequently found
that ne was not hurt bit.-[Sacran.ento Union,
