AISESPERATI LEAP. —A few days ago a girl
named Mary Cartwright, about 17 yews of age, and the
daughter of a miser living at Blozwich, jumped down •
pit shaft at Sot's Hole, net far from her father's house,
with the intention of committing suicide. The poor girl
seemed to have been driven to desperation by her brother
having beaten her. Though the shaft is nearly 70 feet
deep, she escaped with her life, but her spine is badly in.

THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR SWANSEA.—
Yesterday the inquest on the bodies of the men killed by
the explosion in the Oarearvon colliery wee opened. Their

several children ; John Hopkins, 34, leaves a family of
Eve children and a widow near her confinement ; Thomas
Phillips, 27, leaves a widow and one child ; and Thomas
Richards, a young man 20 years of age. Two men who
helped to pt the bodies out of the shaft were so tar
overpows by the after-damp that for some time their
lives wars despaired of. The ankient, it is alleged, wee
net aMaibiatahle to any neglect, as the pit VIII properly
ventilated, and the usual peenntiou against expluismi
seem to have been taken.
