Sikgci.au Accident. —Anaccidont, which came' near being attended with a fatal result, occurred to an aged lady named Simons, residing on Crease street, between Girard avenne and WTldey street, in the Eighteenth Ward, on Wednesdiy evening last. ' She had gone into the yard for the purpose of putting up a clothes line. She Imd attached one end of the rope to a fence-post, having the remainder of the line around her elbow and hand. While walking across the yard she trod upon a hillock of snow, and immedi ately felt something give way under her feet. Supposing that it was the snow, she paid no attention to the matter; but before she had time to take another step she found herself sinking down into the earth very rapidly. She clung to the.rope, and called lustily for help for nearly three hours. Some of the neighbors were startled by her cries, but none of them could dis cern from whence the Bound proceeded. Finally her call for help led the lady living m the adjoin ing house to look into the yard. There she dis covered the top of Mrs. Simons’head projecting' an inch or two above the snow, and traced the clothes lino to the same place. As sistance soon arrived, and the unfortunate woman was 'dragged from her perilous position. The rope was tightly twisted aronndher arm,and she was completely exhausted, and swooned away immediately afterwards. It seems that the hole through which she was so suddenly precip itated was formerly an old well, and had been floored over with boards, then a coating of dirt laid with bricks. Of this fact the fanally were not aware. The rope that was attached to Mrs. Simons, no doubt, saved her from a dreadful death. The well is ten or twelve leet deep, and had she gone to the bottom she would have either suffocated or drowned.
