This result is Il necessary consequence Of

North on political issues, and who, in such
controversies, are nothing but packed com

reason. The two Northern members Of the

unfortunate people within. Three daring
fellows ventured down, and succeeded in
saving nineteen mon. more or less injured
by the explosion,
During the Investigation they found many
dead bodies, and the men who accompanied
them brought the remains to the shaft,
One man was found dead close to the bot
tom of the shaft further on they found ten
bodies in n mass. Not far from the furnace
it was supposed that a large number of
bodies were lying as the men generally con-
greglted near the fire at dinner time. The
furnace was blown down, and the stables
containing six horses) were on fire. When
they got near the upcast shaft they saw
immense masses Of coal and rock falling
down. The shaft was like a furnace They
were in the pit above two hours The
stoppages and hrattices between the two
shafts were completely blown away, and,
therefore, except in the level, the pit was
full Of bad air. They would have sue
ceeded in putting up stoppages, but the ire
increased to such an extent that they were
obliged to retreat. In few minutes after
they came out of the mine the cupola shaft
was filed with fire, which reached so yards
above the summit, and the sparks from that
boay Of flame assembled 100 yards higher.
After ascortaining the number of parties
then in the pit, the painful result was ar
rived at that lG2 men still remained in the
burning mine, of whose escape from their
fearful doom not the slightest chance was
asccrttined, as these fires sometimes last
not only for days but for weeks and months
As to the cause of the explosion no par
ticulars have vet been acertaine1 nor prob
ably ever will.

A HYMN FOR THE SUPREME COURT OF THE

ing, the pastor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
in view Of the recent decision of the "uniust
judges of the Supreme Court of the United

to the meeting the following pertinent hymn,
10y DR.. Watts hymn which has been
sung by our iorefathers, on both sic rs of
the ocean, in Il thousand Christian congre-
cations, and which may need to be sung u
thousand times again, before there shall be
an end of rebuking those "who have fellow

Judges, who rule the world by laws,
VIII ye despise the righteous cause,
When the oppressed before you stands
Dare ye condemn the righteous poor,
And let rich sinners go secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your hand, 2
Have ye forgot or never knew,
That God will Judge the judges too
High in the heavens Iii, justice reigns
Yet you invade the rights of God,
And send your bold decrees abroad,
To bind the conscience in your chains
TIL Almighty thunders from the sky
Their grandeur melts, their titles die
They perish like dissoving frost
As empty chat, when whirlwinls rise,
Before the sweeping tempest fiss,
So shall their hopes and names be lest
Thus shall the vengeance of the Lord
Safety and joy to saints afford
And all that hear shall Join and say
Sure there's God that rules on high
A God that hear. His children cry,
And will their suaerings well repay

EXTRAORDINARY CANINE INSTINCT The
most remarkable instance Of instinct or
sagacity of IL dog, that we remember to
have heard of, occurred in the town of Fair
haven few days since it was this. Two
children between the ages of five and seven
years were playing in the middle of the
street in Fairhaven. when an unloaded
wagon. without driver, drawn by a run
away horse, was seen approaching at furi-
Gus rate. y large dog, a cross of the New
foandand and mastif breeds. who was ly
ing near, saw the approaching peril and
going to the rescue Of the unconscious in
nocents, " took up by their clothes in his
teeth, first ore of the children and deposit
ed the little thing out of danger on the side
walk and then returned and took the other
and also placed it safely on the walk As
tho wagon was passing, the dog made a
spring at the horse and tried TO seize him
hy the nose, but failed to stop him. We
have these curious facts from a gentleman
whose vcracity is unquestionable. Who
shall say that the brute creation Is devoid
of rational intelligence after this

A MEXICAN BARoMETER.-O board the
Mexican steamer, is a barometer Of the most
simple construction, but of great accuracy.
1t consists only of long strip of cedar,
very thin, about two and half feet in
length, about an inch wide, cut with the
grain, and set in block, or foot. This
cedar strip is backed, or lined, with one Of
white pine cut across the grain, and the
two are tightly glued together. To bend
these when dry is to snap them, but on the
approach of bad weather the cedar curls
over until the top at times touches the
ground, This simple instrument is the in
vention of Mexican guitar maker, and
such sits accuracy that it will indicate the
coming on of a "norther" full twenty four
hours before any other kind of barometer
known on the coast Had this been the
production of Yankee ingenuity it had
been patented long ago, and fortune made
