with four children haiiginv to her skirts,
entered the doorway to watch the progn i
of the proceedings. She was peril elly
willing that John should be hml to her so

idea of his adopting another ami Ix tter
looking spouse, and il that would be the
result of their agreement, she would de

Some few mouths since the Milwaukee

MATERNAL HEROISM.
MATERNAL HEROISM. A Mother Leaps into a Cistern and
Saves her Drowning Babe.
[From the Indianapolis Sentinel, Sept, 18]
A marvelous ntory was related to ns yes
terday by one of our most Hiilisbinlial and
reliable citizens, which we take the liberty
of potting in print. Mr. Jonos, a well
known mid Wealthy tanner, resides with
his daughter and son-in law, Mr. Itobin-
sou, iilxuit six wiles Irom the city, on tho
Thrro Notch road. A few days aqo Mr.
Joiich and his son-in-law caino In the cilv,
leaving his daughter, Mra Kate ltohlnson
and her child, lit homo. Tho little child,
which ix only J years old, wax idav-
Ing near a cistern in the yard,
nml fell into it. Tho mother
heard tho neroain nnd splash ax thn child
fell, ami rushing to the brink of the well,
saw her bubo flouting iu the water. Shoal
once run to n barn close nt hand ill search
of n ladder, all tho while screaming at the
top of her voice for help. The ladder had
been misplaced, and, iu desperation, she
rushed back to the cistern. Without nuy
hesitation, tho fond mother plunged into
tho well, determined to save her child or
die iu the attempt. AVhen she struck tho
water the distracted lady could see nolliiiit
of her child, but wilh the courage of ntruo
heroine she ill vol to tho bottom of tho cis
tern th too times, at last huccnedinu in
bringing up tlio babe iu a senseless condi
tion.
in tho meantime, a lady pasxiup; ou tho
roail who hml heard her screams, arrived ot
tho scene of horror, and, by reaching down
succeeded in biking tho almost lifeless
child Irom tho arms of tho almost frantic
mother. Thn child was resuscitated bvtlte
lady who took it out,
A luriner living ubout a halt a nolo dis
tant, having also heard tho screams, of
Mrs. ltoliiuHon. boloro she mado the lean
for life or death, hastened to the snot, mid
arrived in time to savo the hemic mother
from her perilous position iu the cistern,
winch contained about six loot ol water.
Tho mother aud child hnvo fully recovered
and nro uow doing well.
