TO
HEROIC ACT
Teacher Victim of Nervous PrOStratlon
After an Ordeal.
MISS LIZZIE NEARY The VICTIM,
Painted in Her school and Her Assistant
Also succumbed- Several Pupils and
Some Of the Teachers Became
Alarmed and Considerable
Excitement Ensued.

Miss Lizzie Neary, a resident Of West
Centre street, this town, and who teaches in
public school at Park Place, is in the care
of friends at the latter place, sufferer from
nervous prostration.
Miss Neary's illness is due TO collapse re-
sulting from an exciting experience she had
last Monday when rescuing a pupil of her
school, Harry Snyder aged nine years, from
drowning
There is mine breach about one hundred
yards from the school aud it contains about
twelve feet Of water. Young Snyder fell into
the water when playing on the brink Of the
breach The victims companions notified
Miss Neary, who lost no time in reaching the
scene and took jumping rope frou little
girl to effect rescue. After much trouble
Miss Neary, without assistance, succeeded in
getting the rope under the boys arm
pits and pulled him on to the
embankment. The boy had swallowed much
water aud was unconscious when rescued.
The teacher ut once proceeded to bring about
resuscitatiOn, which she finally succeeded in
accomplishing after rolling the victim upon
the ground for some time, working his arms
to and fro, standing him upon his head, and
resorting to such other heroic methods AS she
deemed necessary to the OCCASION The boy
fully recovered.
Miss Neary retained astonishing presence
of mind and composure throughout the
ordeal, and during the succeeding two days
there were no unfavorable indications of the
strain she had undergone. She taught her
school as usual. Yesterday, however, her
nervous system succumbed. The collapse
occurred shortly after she opened her school.
Miss Neary tainted. An assistant went to her
assistance, but also tainted. Some of the
other teachers, attracted by the cries of
the children, became SO much alarmed by
| seeing the two PROSTATE forms that they ran
screaming from the school with several of
the pupils. In few minutes the residents
of the hamlet were swarming about the
school house and great excitement prevailed
for some time.
The assistant teacher was soon fully re-
stored, but Miss Neary's condition remained
serious. She was removed to the home of
Charles G.. Butler, at Park Place, and is still
there under the care Of a physician. Her
condition was reported serious this morning,
but late this afternoon message stated that
the attending physician had announced that
the young woman would recover,
