Pleasant street was never more pleasant
than now, the hard and neatly graded
walk extending from the crossing at f.

of the hotel. When few rods dis

uous stretch of first class sidewalk from

carriages will be especially pleased with
the marked improvement.
The early part of the week, Flora, the
four year old daughter of G. f. Cole
man met with an accident which might
have proved serious. The little girl
with her sister Emma, was playing
about the new house of G. E. Harris on
Pleasant street and venturing too near
the edge of the excavation in rear of the
basement wall, the child dislodged a
portion of the bank which fell with her
into narrow space about five feet be-
low. Aroused by the screams of the
older child the mother hurried to the
spot to find the little girl helpless be-
meath a weight ofstones and dirt crowd
ed into a space not ten inches wide.
Fortunately, William Coughlin hap
pened to be going by and with ready
grasp of the situation he succeeded in
reaching the baby's side and with the
help of others who soon arrived re-
moved the debris and rescued the little
one from her perilous position. More
than twelve inches of dirt and stones
were dug away. Contrary to all ex-
pectatiOn it was found that no bones
were broken and beyond a few flesh
bruises the little one appeared to be
none the worse for her experience. The
gratitude of the mother was unbounded
and her thanks were feelingly expressed
to those who aided in the rescue and
proffered their sympathy.
