A CHILD FALLS INTO A BORED

A short time since, Mr.. Adren Boone
near Prud 'homme City, was boring a
we'll on his premises, and at his dinner
hour had reached a depth of sixteen
feet. He he took out his anger, and
with his assistants, went to partake of
the usual meal. On going into the
house Mr.. B. noticed his little girl three
or four years old, walking around with
tin cup in her hand, but thought
nothing of it. After dinner he was
about to resume work by inserting the
auger, but seeing a tin cup near the
we'll, be was reminded of the little one
After looking around the premises, and
not finding her, he concluded that she
had fallen into the we'll. To test the
matter, he let down ii rope. His sus-
picions were confirmed, for no sooner
had the rope reached Ter, than she
caught hold ut it with one hand aud
was drawn safely to the top. In
the fall one of her arms were wedged to
her side--hence it took great presence
of mind aud bravery for one SO young

Of all Things in the World

A tonic is what nervous people require.
To impart strength into the nervous
organism is to insure it's tranquility,
provided causes of unhealthful excite
ment are avoided. A medical tonic that
like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-com-
mands the unqualified sanction of the
healing profession, and which institutes
a general reform in bilious, dyspeptic
and debilitated condition of the system,
is surely entitled to careful trial by
intelligent people, capable of forming q
dne estimate of a medicine, from en-
phatic and often recorded professional
evidence in its behalf. Not only are the
nerves and stomach invigorate3 by the
Bitters, but the system i 'so endowed
