Mr. AVoodruff heard the outcry she made when falling, hurried to the -place and let down, a vopc and bucket, which she caught hold of, so that ho sustained her partly above the water until a gentlo- man, who was passing, came to his as-i sistanoe, when, by their united efforts sho was lifted out of tho cistern.
