The misguided person ran into the pond with her infant in her arms, and both would most likely have been drowned, but for the prompt and humane assistance of Dr. James Bulteel, who happened providentially to be driving in his gig at the time. The worthy dootor immediately conveyed them to Radford House' where the woman, apparently dead, was wrapped in a blanket, and placed on the hall table, and friction having been properly applied, she was at length restored.

The band played, and then there was a series of dances—the ribbons by the intricate movements being woven, as it were, round the poll with the greatest nicety, and presenting a diversity of most pleasing coloars. His Grace witnessed the evolutions of the children with evident delight, and the dense body of spectators repeatedly testified their approbation by clapping of hands. The girls left the Crescent dancing, preceded by the band, and then came the boys, who were not so successful ; after which the several bands were heard playing the Morris Dance in every direction, and Buxton presented one general scene of festivity. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire left Buxton for Chatsworth between four and five o'clock, after expressing the pleasure he had derived from his visit. At the time we were compelled to leave (about four o'clock) preparations were being made for the festivities of the evening, which would, no doubt, be as varied and cheerful in turn as those of the day.
