strike in consequence of certain rules having bees issued,
which the men allege will end in a redaction in the peke of
glutting. The new rules are framed on the recommendation of
**jury at the late inquest and principally refer to the tim-
bwing and bratticieg. Ingthe South Wales district it has
always been toe practice for the colliers themselves to brat.

he returned home he did so carrying his gun loaded. Before
be entered the home Mts. Wells, his wife, met Lim at the
door. She stood oonvernn with him a few migetes, when
• favourite dog ran up to Mr. Wells. Ita paw caeght the
sad caused the gun to go off, and the *Detente ,
loapd in Mr. Wells's side. Death ensued in ten minutes
after.—ln the other case a farmer and butcher at Ardwick.
le-Street, sear Doncaster, pointed a gun, which he did not
know wealeaded, at two Irishmen, who with himself bad taken
refuge from a storm in a wheelwright's shop, but the con-
tents did not go off. The gun missed fire. He put a eecood
eap oo and was about to point at them again, when it went
off, and shot two boys who were kandiog dose by. The
