is 378 yards 6 inches, and the other, 365 yards 2 feet 6
inches. Six out of the seven men hare worked the whole
time in sinking. They have cut through ten beds of
coal, and one of cannel ; and, when at the depth of 180

single accident. On Monday week, the proprietors of the
colliery gave the sinkers a very handsome present.

which kept felling around, until one more wicked
than the others fell on his devoted umbrella

of the surrounding crowd. The gentleman's reverie
only disturbed by matters aloft coming to a crisis, lien
