T. BEnroRD SPRIyGa.-We learn from sew
ega Of our exchanges that this fashionable and
popular Summer resort has undergone great i'm
provemeals, and is now open for the reception
of visitors. Bedford is one OF the prettest in
land towns in the State, and can boast of advan-
tages which belong 10 but few towns OF It's size.
The Springs are situated about miles from
town: accessible BY one OF the most romantic
pieces of road il has ever been our pleasure 10
travel over. These Springs are Eoted for the
fine medicinal qualities Of their waters; and in
all other particulars are moi surpassed by any
other watering place in the Union. We would
advise our Baltimore friends, those al Feast, who
are seeking return Of heallh-who would re-
move the beetle flush from the cheek--to visit
this healthy aud salubFious region.

were duly responded To by the worthy but
unpoli>hed applicant, in his usual off hand
manner, interspersed with some character.
islic Jokes 10y way of more perfect Illus.
tTatIon. The interview lasted upwards of n
hal hour, notwithstanding several attempts
by the vlsters to depart; but his Iordship
al each successive attempt would proponnd
some new question which caused another
detention. After having finally made their
exit, the gentleman who introduced them
inquired how they liked Lord Napier.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT We are sorry to hear that
an explosion of fire damp occurred in the Egypt Coal
Mine, on Deep River on Friday last, by which five
man, out of six who where in the mine at the time,
were killed We have not heard their names, but
understand that they were all aborers and Irshmen
and from " hat we heard of the character of those
we suppose that they were very worthy men.
This fire damp, or explosion of the gas which col
lects in coal mines where ventilation is difficult, may
be prevented by care but miners become careless by
long habit, and neglect the necessary precautions
