MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
On Friday, June 25, 1858, at about 2 o'clock, occurred what was thought at that time to be a most distressing accident, but what proved to be only a slight one. It seems that two men, named James Bush and Horace Richmond. were digging a well on the premises of L. C. Risdon and W. S. Saunders, and had got down some 35 feet, when the curbing gave way, and they were buried beneath 17 feet of earth and rubbish. The alarm was imme- diately given, and a large number of men with picks and shovels commenced to clear away the dirt, and to rescue the imprisoned victims. Hour after hour was spent in taking out the treacherous gravel, which ran in from the banks almost as fast as taken out, and about 11 A. M., on Saturday, one of the workmen sounded the " depths below " with a crowbar, and sent back the glad response that there was air. About a quarter to 12, a voice came up from the depths. It uttered : " We are both alive. For God's sake take off the dirt and give us some water." A great shout went up from the assembled hundreds, and a great burden was lifted from the hearts of the wives of the two men-one only 14 years old and a bride of only a few weeks. The men labored with renewed energy, and at 4 P. M., after an entombinent of 26 hours, Richmond was relieved, and drawn to the top. He was un- injured in limb, and in an hour or two had fully recovered. Bush was not taken out till eight o'clock,having been confined 30 hours. He was somewhat bruised, and his lower limbs perfectly paralyzed, the pressure of gravel having stopped the circulation. He was taken to a residence near by, where he lay in a critical condition for several days, but finally recovered. In talking about it afterward, Rich- mond said that at the moment of the accident he had unhooked the rope from the bucket, and was coming out of the well, having given the word to hoist. He was consequently standing up, and Bush was stooping over, when the mass fell. The old curbing in the well formed an arch over his head about as high as he could reach, thus protecting him from the rush of gravel, his lower limbs being wedged fast. He assisted Bush, who from his position was com- paratively helpless, and drew the gravel away from his face to give breathing room. The first move that was made above ground was heard by the sufferers below. They heard the men removing the stones and rubbish, and heard the voices, but couldn't understand what was said. They talked freely together most all the time, but Richmond slept quite soundly a portion of the time, and was not a little surprised on awakening to find that he had neither turned over in bed nor kicked the clothes off. The preservation of these men was indeed a miracle, and one which will long be remembered by the sufferers and their friends.

HISTORY OF WASHTENAW COUNTY.
BOILER EXPLOSION AT YPSILANTI.
A terrible calamity occurred at Ypsilanti on Friday, Jan. 14, 1876, in Cornwell's Paper Mill, the boiler exploding, killing two men and injuring one other. The hour at which this sad catastro- phe happened was precisely noon, and there were only three men in the building at the time-John Max, the engineer, a youth named Charles Otto, and a farmer named John Farmer. These men were in the engine room, and the youth noticed the steam gauge going around quite rapidly, and exclaimed: "There is some- thing wrong here," and was laughed at by the man Farmer, who stood warming himself at the fire. John Max, the engineer, glanced at the gauge and sprang on top of one of the boilers- there being two of them and connected with each other-to open the valve between the boilers, and to let the steam from one into the other. At this moment it is supposed the boiler exploded. The explosion was heard by the people of Ypsilanti, and many thought it was an earthquake; but in a few moments it was known what had occurred and hundreds rushed to the spot. One-half of the large mill was a perfect ruin. The large brick chimney, nearly one hundred feet high, was blown still higher, and came down with a thundering crash. The body of the engineer, John Max, was found at the foot of a hay-stack in a horribly mutilated condition, while a few feet off his head was found lying on a wood-pile. The boy, Otto, was found under the debris in the corner of the engine room, while near him lay John Farmer, who had several ribs broken and was entirely disabled. The end of the boiler, weighing al:out 4,000 pounds, was blown about 180 feet and plowed a large hole in the ground at that distance. A coronor's jury was impaneled and gave a verdict that the steam gauge was not in safe working order, but the boiler was in good condition. The man Max left a wife and six children to mourn the untimely loss of an ever indul- gent husband and father. The loss to the owners of the mill was nearly $10,000.
WASHTENAW COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY.
This society was organized in 1829 as auxiliary to the Ameri- can Bible Society, of New York. A large number of Bibles and Testaments, in the English and German languages, have been sold and donated in Washtenaw county since the organization of the society. A large number of destitute persons have been supplied with the Scriptures through its labors. Those making annual do- nations to the society are members of the same. For many years the county was annually canvassed by an agent appointed by the parent society, but acting in co-operation with the county society. A large amount of money was thus annually raised. Of late years this plan has been abandoned; therefore the receipts have been con- siderably lessened.

MARRIAGE RECORD.
The institution of marriage is a holy one, and ought to be . most sacredly protected. The county has had its full share of " marrying and giving in marriage." Following is a list of the marriages as shown by the records up to 1830, after which they became too nu- merous to detail:

BIRTHS.
The command to "multiply and replenish the earth," since the days of Noah, has been in process of fulfillment. Until the year 1867, no record was made of the births in this county or State, but since that time it has been obligatory upon physicians and others to report all cases under their observation. From the records in the County Clerk's office, the following table has been compiled, showing the number of births each year, from 1867 to 1879 inclu- sive, together with the number of cases of twins.

OVER THE RIVER.
Death, the grim monster, is ever at his work. Day by day his calls are made upon the human race, and every moment of time one or more lay down life's burden and pass over to the other side. No stage of life is exempt. The infant upon its mother's knee, the youth and maiden full of life's vigor, those in their prime, old age with palsied limbs and withered features, each are summoned in turn, and all must obey. No appeal can be taken from the stern command of such a monster. Some who are called are ready to go, and calmly await the summons, and with a smile upon their feat- ures, step into the dark waters and so are taken "over the river." Others dread the call; life with them is full of brightness. Some have sinned away their day of grace and with a bitter cry say, "The summer is ended, the harvest is past, and my soul is not saved." But the inexorable demands of death must be met, and happy are those who can say with the Apostle Paul, " I have fought the good fight; I have kept the faith, and henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me in that day."
