THE PIcToU Coal MINES. "A paper
published at Pictou, states that the coal
business is increasing at that place very
fast. Over 800 sail of vessels of various
descriptions were loaded there last year,
and it is thought the number will be
doubled this season. Property in the vi
entity has increased in value more than
one hundred per cent. within a year or
two. The number of houses occupied by
the miners is about $780, of which 100
were erected last year, and they all have
nea: and pleasing appearance.
: The pits are eight in number one of
them is over $50 feet deep, and one ofthe
engines used is 70 horse power. One of
the chimneys used for the purpose of ven-
tilation, is over l40 feet in height.
There is new range of pits sunk dur
ing the last year, and Just got ready for
working. Four of them are for drawing
coal, and the other two for the purpose of
ventilating the works. The deepest of
the two latter 1850 fee,,l is called the en-
CINE pit, where the pumps and machine
ry for drawing the water from the mines
are Observation-Disclosures Herald.
The WHEAT CRoP is now being har.
vested vely generally throughout the
western part of the state, and we are hap
Ply TO reiterate our oft repeated remark,
that the crop is abundant. 1t is true that
a great many of the fields have been
stricken with the rust but there are COM
paratively few instances where the berry
was not so far advanced as to be beyond
the power of injury from the rust. There
are, it is true, isolated fields where great
mischief has been done; but these in.
stances will not, in the least, affect the
general crop-Rochester Democrat.
