,A mishap, which might easily have had fatal results, occurred at Shannon on Friday last, (says the News), when the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clias. Young, of Vance Street, fell down an open well a distance of from 12 to 15 feet. Fortunately, the child landed on a piece of tin which kept him afloat. Had the tin not been there he would most certainly have lost his life. The child had only been missing a few minutes. Mrs. Young, while calling him, was standing near the well when she heard the, child cry out. She immediately called for assistance and three boys who were nearby, procured a ladder and descended the well, rescuing the child from its dangerous position. The child suffered no ill-effects from its experience.
