JUVENILE INTREPEDITY. On Monday afternoon last, a child of four years of age, fell from the wharf at the foot of Northmore street into the water; Thomas Bennet, a lad fourteen years old, immediately jumped overboard with all his clothes on to rescue him. He succeeded in reaching the child, swam with him to a sloop, and held on until assistance arrived. It is seldom we record conduct evincing so much courage and coolness, and still more to find it in the case of a mere lad. He deserves much credit.— N.Y. Standard
