A- Child's Advbntttkij. — There waa great' excitement in a street in Hobart last-week. A little girl, one of a party playing " hide and seek," thought to hide herself in a twelve-inch. drain, and did so effectually, being unable to work her way out©! it feet first. Hearing her cries her playmates noon' got her parents and friends on the scene. Many passers-by swelled the throng, but all were nonplussed as to how to release the child unless they dug .through the road and burst open the drain. Thisy' however, was pronounced to be a dangerous proceeding, and instead the child was induced by small degrees to crawl forward towards the other end of the draim She got within six or eight yards of ifcj.when she got stuck and could not get any further. It seemed as though her clothes had caught at the juncture of two pieces of the piping. This hitch intensi "fied'ihe excitement. At laßt a garden rake was .tied to a long clothes pole, pushed down the drain, and she waa induced, with 'come difficulty, to hold on to it.
