Fell in the Wen.

Out at Mr.. Steel's places the other
side of 3-Mile, one day last week, a
horse fell in the well. The well was
fifty feet deep and had about two feet of
water in it. AS soon as possible ar
rangements were made for getting the
animal out, as wells are scarce and cost
money. a block and tackle was pro-
cured and swung in frame erected for
the purpose, and then one of the men
went down and took turn around the
horses body with a rope. On coming
out he reported the horse as still alive.
pair of horses were hitched to the
rope in the block, and the animal was
hauled about half way to the surface
when the rope broke and he fell to the
bottom again. second hitch was taken
on him and this time he was brought
out without mishap.
When the ropes were taken off him he
got up, gave himself shake and walked
over to the haystack, where he proceed
ed to take breakfast. As he had been
in the well for nearly twelve hours, he
had his appetite with him, and, outside
Of few abrasions, seemed to be unhurt.
