ANOTHER EXPLOSION AT WOODTHOREE COL-
LIERY.—TIeis colliery, which was the scene of the unfortu-
nate accident last week, has again been visited by a similar
occurrence, though happily unaccompanied with the saute
disastrous results. An accurate plan of the workings being
required for production at the assizes on the occasion of
Oldneld's trill, Messrs. John Wood and G. P. Wall,
pupils of Mr. T. D. Jeffeock, colliery viewer, descended
the shaft on Wednesday, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys. They were accompanied by John Sel-
lars, the fire trier at the Soap-house pit, and three other
colliers in the employ of Mr. Rhodes, the lessee of the
works. Sellars preceded the party with a Davy lamp, to test
the state of the air, before the others ventured forward
with candles, the light emitted by a safety lamp being
insufficient for surveying purposes. Having completed the
survey iu the locality of the former explosion, in which
direction the air was found tolerably good, they retraced
their steps for a short distance, and proceeded along a wind-
gate leading to the head of the " throw." They went cau-
tiously forward until they came to a spot, of which men-
tion was made by Mr. Morton, the government inspector,
, in lib evidence at the inquest, where the roof had fallen in,
and completely obstructed the ventilation of the mine in
that locality. Since the inspection of Mr. Morton, the ven-
tilation had been partially restored by the excavation of a
passage through it, by means of which the party might with
difficulty be enabled to pass. Immediately they approached
the vicinity of this place, a perceptible change was observed
in the air, which had never been abundant, and there be-
gan to fail. Sellars advanced a short distance, but find-
ing no indications of the presence of sulphur, the nut
of the party approached, and Mr. Wall proceededi with
the survey. Whilst his attention, and that of Sellars, was
thus occupied, Mr. Wood walked forward into the break
with a candle, followed by one of the colliers named l'otts.
They had not proceeded far before the flame of the candle
came into contact with a volume of sulphurous gas, which
suddenly exploded with a loud noise. Mr. Wood was
knocked down, and severely burnt and bruised ; Putts, also,
was thrown down, but escaped with a slight singeing : the
others fortunately escaped unhurt. No after-damp fol-
lowed, or the consequences would have been most calamit-
ous, aZ the place where the explosion occurred is situate
about 140 yards from the pit shaft. Mr. Wood was imme-
diately conveyed home, and attended by Mr. William Jack-
son, under whose care he is fast recovering.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A lamentable casualty
occurred in the Sound of Mull last week, by which three
young men were deprived of life. They bad gone from the
west side of Morven to Tobermory on some business.
While there, two of the party got intoxicated. They forced
the third, much against his will, to accompany them on
their return early in the morning. It was blowing very
hard at the time, and the boat which they had was but a
small craft. They have not been seen since. No doubt,
however, remains as to their fate. The boat in which they
left was found at Arduacross, in Mull, next day. The
names of the men were Cameron, Macnaughton, and Mac-
gregor. They were all unmarried.
CANINE REVENGE.—About ten days ago, Mr. J.
Cooper, a young farmer in the neighbourhood, by some
means offended his dog, and on his entering his bed-room in
the evening he was rather surprised to find the dog there,
where he had never seen him before. He went up to him
in a friendly manner end patted him, but received no
friendly acknowledgment in return. He thought little of it,
however ; but upon turning his back the brute sprang upon
him with fury, seizing him by the thigh. Mr. Cooper found
it impossible to effect an exit, and wee obliged to come to
close combat. Having no weapon, his only mode of defence
was to attempt to suffocate hie opponent by forcing his bands
down his throat. By this means be eventually succeeded in
gaining the mastery, but at the expense of both bands being
much inured, the left one particularly. The savage brute
has paid the penalty with his life, and Mr. Cooper is doing
well, although it must be some time before he regain the use
of his hands.—Brechin Paper.
