A singular accident, and one tbiit Caused the greatest excitement in the Vitiie't town of Winchester, occurred on <Mun ay. A man named Wing has been Engaged a few days past repairing or Tebuildhig a well upon the premises id Mr Cameron. Monday he was at work about thiity leet bclotv the surface at the bo't?unof the well, la a g brick, wi h which the well was to bebuil:. He is until weighing out 200 pounds, of large fiauic. fecwus standing in the water and sand at the bottom, and insensibly to himself, gradually sunk until he dis 4 covered that hi* feet and legs-nearly to v-thc knees were imbedded 'ib a'tpiicksand ilc uiadc repeat <d efforts to move, but found that he stuck fast. Those at work at the mouth of the well were informed of the fact, and the rope wafustemd about him and attempts uiude *to puli him out by the aid of the wind'lass at the top. They " were .unable to 'more bim at all, and the pain to him was so acute that they were compelled "to desist- Ropes were then arranged so that he should not siuk any deeper, 'and attempts were made to dig him out. The well being sumll and Mr. Wing very lar^e, no one could ?ct in snJvthe brick-work to assist hiui, and t'Ke had^^cu compelled to do all the diguing pails or cups, parsing th<nu to stynN^bove.
