Lucky Bow.

An extraordinary accident is report
ed from the neighborhood of Maid
stone, England. \ lad. eight years of
age, was flying a kite when he stepped
backward into n forty foot quarry, to
the great horror of the bystanders.
Fortunately for the little fellow, the
string of the kite was tight around his
wrist, and the kite, acting as a para
chute, effectually broke the violence
of the fall, and he was only slightly
bruised.
