OF MT. y. -. Nell, as the neTolHe. Tue
little girl was attempting to draw some
water. The bucket got beyond her
control, and Tie chain catching in her
hair, dragged her into the well. She
went down head foremost into six feet
of water; but managed TO turn, and
commenced climbing out with the
help of the chain. This was the sit
uation when DR.. J. H. Saye and Mr..
Joseph NJ. Sims, who had been sum:
moned, arrived. on the scene. They,
with the assistance of Tommy Kell u
brother, managed to get the child out
of the well. She was unhurt, with
the exception of very sore scalp,
where a part of plait of hair had
been pulled out, and she did not seem
TO be much frightened. The pluck
exhibited by both of the children was
admirable.

yard of territory as any two people in
