FATAL ACCIDENT.

We aIe panied 10 learn iha, John Hening-
er, of Kelly township, Union county, and an
Irishman whose name we did not ascertain,
were drowned in the pool Of Nancy dam, on
Saturday, the 18th uli., while attempting 10
cross the river in boat, in company with
four other persons. When about midway
the boat sunk, and before assistance arrived,
these two were drowned.
In connection with this two other accidents
occurred, which came near proving fatal. A
Mr.. Huntingdon was proceeding 10 inform
the family of NJ. Hennger of their sad be.
reavement, when his horse run off, and
threw him out of The buggy, breaking both
his arms. A cannon was procured and pla-
ced upon fiat, whereon were a number Of
men, for The purpose of being fred to raise
the drowned bodies, which, at the first fire,
was ren, in pieces, scattering them in all di-
rections, but fortunately passed by those on
the flat Ml:onian.

RIVAL RAIL ROADS TO HARRISBURG.


There is spirited rivalry in the Phila-
delphia newspapers, between the Lebanon
valley rail road company, and the Ian
caster, Lebanon and Pinegrove rail road
company. The first road connects with
the Reading rail road at Reading and runs
through Lebanon TO Harrisburg. The lat
ter road strikes the Reading road at 'Phe-
nixvile, and extends through Lebanon to
Pinegrove. Gen. Cameron is the President
of the Lebanon Valley road, and Christian
E. Spangler of Philadelphia, President Of
the other. Both gentlemen are energetic
and enterprising men, and the probability
is that both roads will be made. This is an
important matter to this section of country,
as both roads will form a connection at
Harrisburg with the Susquehanna rail road,
running from this place. These roads, will
no doubt, be so constructed as TO run the
distance from Philadelphia to Harrisburg,
in less than four hours, so that The running
time from this TO Philadelphia will be but
six hours The time required by way OF
the Philadelphia and Sunbury road, through
Pottsville, will be about the same. Travel
lers will, therefore, have a choice Of
routes at this place, and may 60 by one
and return by the other.

BORING FOR COAL.

We were out on the N. American coal
Company's Mill Creek tract, on Monday last,
and witnessed the boring operation as car
ried on by steam power. The company
commenced this work on the 20lh of Janua-
~ last, and have in the mean time descend.
ed $50 feet IL inches. So far every thing
has worked satisfactorily, and the various
strata through which they have passed, con.
firm the theory on which they based their
operations. In descending they passed
through various materials, and reached the
Holmes Vein at depth of 95 feet. This
vein they found feet inches in thickness,
and underlying it b #, in. Of slate and
sand stone, followed by 81 #. Of Free-sione.
After this, 35 #, of brown stone inlermixed
with iron bowlders, and this followed by
slate, small leader OF coal and then again
iron ore, and slate, and other material till
they struck the conglomeraiic rock al 2I2 Fl.
5 in. from The surface. The position Of this
rock corresponds in the test with the survey
made by Mr.. shafer, Mining Engineer, pre-
paratory 10 commencing operations. They
have now sunk distance al 3S II. 2k in. in
this rock, which leaves only about l6 f. of
this material 10 pass through yet. A few
weeks al farthest will determine the fact
that the Maginnesion theory holds good in
lhis as in other instances of trial, or il will
unexpectedly prove tina, it has great aud seri-
aus exceptions in its laws. Here all are
confident that il will hold correct and that
this trial will establish the fact that the Fl
vein and the Mamoth vein, be found incon
venieut proximity 10 the surface, of not onl,
the Mil Creek tract embracing 420 acres
bui also Of the Cenireville tract containing
400 acres more; both owned by the N
Ametiean Coal Company. We are awaiting
the result with great interest, and will lay i
before our readers al the earliest day.
