A Sensational Experience.

Mrs Bishop, a young married woman living at Black Range, near Albury, New South Wales, had a sensational experience a few days ago. She left her house to look for the children, who were at play in the bush. The husband, watching from the house, saw his wife suddenly disappear. He ran to the spot, but could see nothing, lie cooeed loudly and after a time heard a faint reply, coming apparently from a long distance. The direction from whence the sound emanated cou'd not be determined. After further investigation ho discovered the mouth of an abandoned mining shaft, almost bidden by undergrowth and found that the cry came from below. Mr Bishop promptly obtained a rope, and rescued his wife from a very perilous position. The shaft is 80ft deep with 20ft of water. The woman had fallen feet first into the water, and on rising to the surface had maintained that position by bracing her back against one side of the shaft and her feet against the other aide. She sustained no serious injury, but if her sudden disappearance had gone unnoticed by her husband she must have soon succumbed. *
