The two others were killed. OF the

one of whom has since died The shaft
in which the explosion occurred is about
700 feet deep. Great injury has been
done to the mines. which together with
the presence of foul air produced by the
explosion. was the reason why the fate
Of the other unfortunate beings below
could not be ascertained. The explo.
sion was so violent as to throw pieces OF
timber from the, shaft to the distance OF
a hundred yards. Such accidents were
formerly quite frequent in the mines OF
England, before the invention OF Sir
Humphrey Davy's Safety Lamp
which has been thought complete Sc
curity. Blu, it happens that this Lamp
was regularly used in the Black Heath
mines, aud was no doubt on the fatal
morning, but it may have been out Of

THURSDAY, MARCH %, 1889
CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.


On Monday last, which was the first
day Of our Quarterly Court. SAMUEL
MD. Moore, Esq, one Of the candi-
dates for Congress in this district, ad.
dressed the people at the Courthouse,
for more than an hour, on the aeitatinp
questions OF the day, connected with
Federal politics. An unusually large
number Of citizens were in town, under
the confident expectation that both the
candidates would be present. 1t was
known that Mr.. Moore had invited
MIR. Craig to meet him here, for the pur-
pose oil discussion, and there was no lit
tie disappointment manifested at the
failure of the latter to attend. We
understand, however, that Mr.. Craig
wrote to friend in the county, that his
long absence from home. together with
his irregular health, rendered his atten-
dance inconvenient. We had not the
pleasure Of hearing the speech of MIR.
Moore, being unusually engaged at our
Office by the coils of our friends, but we
have heard the Speech spoken of with
great delight, as one of Mr.. Moore's
hsppiest efforts. We are quite sure he
has lost nothing by the Speech. So far
as we can judge, it has had the effect
OF animatiDg the desire of the people
TO see him elected. Within a short
time, we have had such flattering ac-
counts OF his prospects in the upper part
OF the district, that we feel confident if
Augusta will but put forth her strength,
he may be elected. Will she do so /?
We confess we have SO often been dis
appointed, heretofore, OH that score, that
we are almost afraid to make any yery
sanguine calculation upon it. She has the
strength Of giant. it is true-but it is
rarely the case that she makes herself
felt. above third or fourth rate coun
ty, in the political contests of the times
Is :hIs just to herself? Is it Just to her
princ,pless We could wish that every
voter in the county would put these
questions solemnly to himself before the
election, and say whether any excuse
will suffice, at time like this, when
profligacy and corruption are running
riot with the Government, to keep him
from the polls. Shame-shame on the
citizen, who, at such crisis, can refuse
to respond to the imperious call of pub
lie duty! Yet, fear, that many very
many will do SO. liza foreign foe were on
our shores, we have the fullest confidence
that our citizens would rush, to man.
to the standard Of their country. Thev
would freely brave death in the battle
field, in defence of their inappreciabIe
institutions. But when it comes TO rot,
'ng, that is rather a serious matter. and
we do not know that we can so readily
endorse for them.

WELDING IRON AND STEEL.

Perhaps many Of our smiths, who have not seen
the following may derive some advantage from its
perusal.
As iron and steel are compounded more or less
with uphur, copper, and arsenic, which, If they
predominant too much, will prevent their being weld
ed sound, II may be of some importance to black
Cases When iron is compounded with sulpbur,e it
is apt to burn before welding heat can be raised
In this case little unslacked stonelime pounded
very fine TO be used instead of sand lime will absorb
the phur and enable the smith to weld il sound
II but small quantity OF copper enters into the
composition of iron, it will render il brittle when
hot, and tough when cold. In this case, SALT or sal
ammoniac should be used with the sand, which will
eyaporale the copper and prevent the iron from
breaking when it is very hot. Arsenic generally
predominates in iron that is very brittle when cold
small quantity Of saltpetre should then be used
with The sand for welding Iron or steel that is en-
tirely free from either Of those perncious sabstan-
ces will work sound, weld with ease, and be very
tough when cold. This Is what is called good iron.
The same may be said of steel.
A fault too often found with blacksmiths, Is that
their work Is not sound when In fact the fault is in
the iron they work A little attention to ascertain
the qualities of iron, and TO apply the proper rene
dies will enable them to make their work sound,
at least as good as the quality OF the iron will admit
