Yesterday, a melancholy mearrenoe kept the
inhabitants of a populous part at the town, the Blekernore
district, in deep anent? and inapenee, far awn hours, sad it
had a fats' termination, Joke Grilith, a working collier, of
good charge'''.' had a daughter, named Emma, aged 16, in
service at a neighbouring besrehop, kept by a man
named William Truster. On Sunday forenoon. some mania
the hones heard the poor girl call for help, and there appears
no doubt that he shamefully abused her. The girl, on
escaping from biro, want home told something of what
had oc..tured to her mother and female relatives : but ap-
peared in great dread of the truth being told to her father ;
and on a man not of the family appearing, she ran
affrighted into another room. Oa Tuesday, her father went
to the turtgistretee aloe, to apply foe a walnut sestinst
Trustee, desiring his daughter to follow him. Still her
tear and shame withheld her, and she did not go. Her
father upbrai led her for this, and, some additional facts
having transpired, he told her that next morning she must go
to•aorgery for examination. Yesterday morning, when, the
time came, it was found that the poor girl had left the beam.
The father nought her, end at her grmdmother's
that she bed been there, and said she would never again
mare home. Onpromoutleg his search further, he caught'
night of the poor girl, who, on seeing him, ran off dawn a
by-road in the direction of the cordpins at Blakenhall.
Her lather followed Mindy, till, seeing that she got near en
old coal-pit shaft, he called to some men to stop her. The
girl then ran Into the " field," up the bank which sur-
rounded the shaft, end bad thrust hermit between the
aperture. of the planks which formed the protection to the
shaft. Her father, seeing his worst fear* about to be
realised, shouted with much feeling, "Don't Jo that, my
wee% " but the girl wee too determined, or too panic-
struck, to heed him. Dragging through the rest of her
body, she rolled herself into the pit. Hyatt' time her terror-
stricken father had approached near enough to her to imagine
that he could yet arrest the dreadful act. He clutched at
hr; bet eke had fallen too for. The shaft wee known to be
• cheep ono, sad to have lain unmarked far AZ years, lf, there-
fore, she had escaped being dashed to piece*, there was yet no
hope for her life, as the foul air towards the bottom of the pit
mutt be fatal to her. Nevertheless active eft ale wore at once
commenced to recover the body. A breve fellow, an engine-
. driver at a neighbouring pit, volunteered his envies.. He
commented descendiag amidst the Warty though stiffed
chairing of some hunirede of maxims elemental*. Ho had

were masuccereful, until some air-troughs were moored
from Masers. Astoa and Corse, the proptiotors of the col-
liery. By them the shaft was cleared to within nine yards
of the scaffold, which ran scram the skeet at a distance at
69 yards fnm the mouth, and upon which it was knows
that the body of the girl meat be lying. Joseph Elwell,
however (for that was the engineer's name), thrust himself
through that, sad hastily groped lb* the body in the dark.

drew it up to the Bab air. Upon the corpse reaching the
bank, it wee fond that awe wee a braise upon the face,
