Drowned in a well.

--The Fredericksburg Herald, of the 14th instant, says that Thomas Rhodes, of Orange county, was drowned in a well on his premises one day last week. A negro who was at had refused to let his master enter the well, holding him by the coat, but Rhodes assuring the negro that he only meant to fix a few loose rocks, was released, when he made the fearful leap. the deceased was well known as the proprietor of a tavern, on the Plank Road, some ten or twelve miles from Orange Court-House.
