the 16th inst., as Mrs Michael Whit-
more, of Licking township, was stand'
lug on the platform over a well, pump
ing water, tne boards gave way, aim
she fell into the well a distance of
twenty-three feet. Strange to say
she was not a particle injured. She is
quite a heavy woman, and in falling.

We admit it, neighbor, and very
much regret the mistake, which we
had not noticed until our attention
was called to it by reading the above
paragraph. However, the observant
reader would have known tnat the
credit was a mistake, for when did the
Democrat ever give a cordial or gen
erous good word to the Miner or any
other cotemporary, however deserve
