A REMARKABLE CASE.
The Montgomery Vidette tells of the
remarkable easeof a man falling into
a well as follows:
Mr. Cyrus Hurt, came very near a
serious accident Monday last He was
using a cart in Hlling up an old well,
when in the act of dumping a load of
dirt, the cart rolled in carrying him
wiih it. The dirt having become sat
urated with water made a soft landing
for him and he came out not hurt but
a very muddy man:
! It seems that when he went in ho
j was , Hurt and when he came out he
wasn't.
