Falls into Burial NauIt--k niscr
tscs Vermont snnth.

Tho facts have Just leaked out regard
ing peculiar accident, which might have
proven fatal. which occurred last week.
when william. the cight-vear-old son Of
Mrs John r. Sullivan, of South Main
street, st. Adams, and a hoy companion
were walking in the South Main street
cemetery. Young Sullivan, it ia said, was
standing on n plot In the southeast por-
tion of the so-called "Old cemetery"
when suddenly the ground beneath caVed
in. precipitating him, amid a mass Of
heavy stones and earth, into an ugly hole
eight feet deep. The boys companion ran
for assistance to Guy II. Rurnell. who was
I'm the rear of his garden adjoining the
cemetery. and Mr.. Burnel by the use
of ladder, rescued the boy.
Investigation developed that Sullivan
had fallen into an old stone burial vault
about 1Ox1o feet square. It is in n fairly
good state Of preservation and the coudi-
ton of fragments of collins and portions
of three skeletons. two adults and a child
would indicate that it had been construct
ed and permanently closed about so years
ago
Young sullivan received slight bruises
and although not frightened over his
weird experience, appeared very much OK
eroised as to whether or not he had torn
n new suit of clothes.
