Romance OF a Coal Field.

The following singular circumstance
happened few years ago in Parr ,abou!
thirteen miles from Liverpool, where
there are several extensive colleries.-
1t will tend to show the immense value
Of coal mines which lie under small
superficial extent of land. An elderly
widow lady sold to gentleman some
property in Parr, consisting of a house
and about thirty acres Of land, for G3,-
900. The old lady thought there must
be Goals under the land, as there was
so much in the neighborhood but it
was the decided opinion of coal proprie-
tors, land others conversant with Goals and
mines that there was no Goals on the
property. The seller of the prop
erty, however, insisted that the
coal should should be reserved, un-
less the purchaser would give her el0o
for them. This be refused doing, and
the Goals were accordingly exec ptea
from his purchase, and reserved to her.
The old lady died soon after, bequeath-
ing the coal mines among the children of
a deceased sister, even in number who
were all laborers, and the residue of
her property, worth about $4,000, to
the children of another sister. The be-
quest of the coal mines were consider ed
"a nominal thing, and led to discussions
in the two families on account of it.
The coal legatees brooded for length of
time over their disappointment in not
sharing their aunt's property with their
cousins, but at length they contrived to
induce some persons, who were supposed
have more money than wit, to under
take the expense of boring on the land
to ascertain whether there were Goals
or not. The boring continued for
considerable time, to the great amuse-
ment of persons connected with col
leries /; but at last, to their great aston
ishment, the chagrin of the,purchaser,
and the unbounded delight of the le-
gatees, two delfs of the best Goals in
Lancashire were discovered. extending
nearly the whole breadth of the land,
and which could be easily worked
These Goals were Immediately purcha-
sed by the proprietors of a neigboring
colliery for 100000. On subsequent
borings three lower delfs were found
which the same parties purchased for

THE CrRcAssIANs.-They have moth
ing like written law among them, but
are governed by sort Of common right,
or what has become an established Gus
tom from ancient usage. The great bulk
of the people assemble on important oc-
cassions in sort of general counsel,
where the Prince always opens the bu-
siness, and proposes the measures he
thinks should be taken for the consider
alton Of the assembly. The whole body
of mobiles then deliberate on what he has
brought forward, and then referred to a
certain number of grave personages oho-
sen from the people, who, by their pat
riarchal consequence and their eminent
wisdom, have acquired the title of Ell
ders, selected on the occasion by the
various tribes. These venerable men
then discuss the subject in debate, and
each gives his opinion. If three con-
situations are found to agree for the
measure proposed; and if it is ques-
ton of social right, and decision becomes
a precedent, and is binding as a national
decree.
