Terrible Accident at the Black
Heath (Virginia) Coal Pits
Five Persons Killed.

The Richmond Dispatch thus describes Z
terrible acciden, which took place at the
Black Heath Coal Pits, in Chesterfield Co.
Va, on Monday week:
Early in the morning, the oyerseer, Mr..
Allen, went down the shalt, in company
with three others. in order to see that the
shaft and pit were in proper condition for
the men to work in; snd having satisfied
himself that they were SO. the Doe or cage
in whidh he descended was sen tup-but in
order to Test the machinery, which, in the
present sta.e Of the weather, was deemed
judicious, a full box was sent up and down
the shalt. Seeing that everything worked
harmOniously, four negro men and white
lad were allowed to descend. At this time
and for some time previously, the Mining
Agent. Mr.. Job Atkins, was at the pit head
seeing to the fety and due order of every
thing He remained there until the men
bad descended about half way, when he
turned from it, but had hardly done SO before
it was obvious from the stoppage Of the en-
gne, that something was wrong. II was
soon discovered that the cage which contain
ed the men, had, bv some means or other,
become detached frsn the rope and
fallen down the aft, distance OF about
three hundred feet. Three of the men were
instantly killed, one survived about ten min
utes and the other about thirty minutes, but
without betrayiEg any consciousness, and
consequently without throwing any light on
the cause of the accident

Letter from Hon. Charles Sumner
to the Massachusetts. Legislature

In the Massachusetts House of Repre-
sentatiyes on Friday, a communication ac-
cep,ins the office of Senator in the United

from Hor. Charles Sumner, and read by the
Speaker, Hon. Charles A Phelps.

that the people Of a. Massachusetts forgetting

compared with which the fate Of any public
servant is of smal, account.
When first selected for this eminent trust

Underground Railroad.

The Underground Railroad occasionally
brings ont rich things. Yesterday a beauti-
iuf mufattu woman irum the Maryland shore,
near Baltimore, called upon Dir. Lnguen -
She was fugitive from high life in Slave
dom. Her dress, address and conversation,
showed she had been va iued and cared for
She naturally enauired into the quality and
amount OF business at the Syracuse. De-
pot, Mrs. Loguen took the record Of the
names of the fugitives thrt had called a,
her house, and commenced reading them.
That is the name of my husband she
exclaimed, with enthusiasm, when a ccr-
tain name was read.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loguen instantly called &c
mind an accomplished seIRi-colored man
they Ind sent ON TO Rev. Mr. Mansfield Y
Co., o, Auburn, three weeks a,o. She told
her story as follows:
She had been married about six weeks
Her husband and herself were house slaves
of two notable and wealthy families in Ma
rylani, and were greatly attached. About
three weeks since her master suspected thai
she intended to escape with her husband,
and arrested her and put her in Jail. She
managed to notify her husband of her case !,
and he instantly fled 10 avoid a sim lar fate
and probable sale to the far South. Her
mi>tr. sS and daughter were greatly attached
to her, and procured her release, and in
three DAYS thereafter she fed on foot to
Philadelphia, with the aid Of the man who
helped her husband off. Anti-slavery men
nut her on the road, and nov for the second
time she has got ON the track of her hus
band.
Mr.. Loguen at once thought it his duty
to 60 TO Auburn with her and help fnd her
husband On her arrival at Auburn. he
placed her in the parlur of one Of the best
no els and called on Mr. Mansfield who
went With him to another clergyman to
whom he was directed. He was at meet
ing, and Mr.. Loguen saw colored man in
a distant part OF the meeting who resam-
bed the fugitive, and sent a person to bring
him to tie lobby to see Mr.. Lpguen. The
poor man was seized with a tremOr. The
fact was; he was an excellent machinisI,
and instead of going to Canada, had hire
out at good wages at Auburn, rather instruc-
ted to do so by MIR. Loguen, if he found
chance.
They are after you Fred said Mr.. Lo-
guen but hold up your head-I'll take you

BY this time they had arrived at the no.

The parlor, which was richly furnished and
ras-lighted. The fellows feelings were
worked up to the highest point by being led
10 such place, where he could expect 1"

Our AT LAsT.--An old man named
Gregg. who has been confined in Eau
quer county Jail since the first of Oc-
tober. 1876, for debt, under the old law, WAS
released on Christmas day, by jailor Cross,
there being nothing left in the hands of the
law to pay his Jail expenses. We learn
that this man had property enough TO paw
the debt against him, but that he preferred
spending his weary hOurs within the gloomy
waiiG of the county prison to paying the
deb, which he owed. The persons whn had
him confined has been dead some years,
but we learn put aptpvision in his will ap-
propriuting "a suficient amount to keep
him in limbo as long as he lived.-Some
how or other this stipulation has given out,
and, of course, Gregg becomes Tree again.

The Storm in the East.
A MISSING BRIuEGRroN.

\ circumstance occurred in PhilaGelphia
on Monday night, which wa. but single
| instanse ont OF the many annoying incidents
growing out of the late vinlent snow storm,
and OF the consequent blockade by spow-
drifts FOR forty-eight hours. 1t seems that
a wedding had been arranged to Come of
between a lady of Philadelphia. and a gen.
IL man from the interior OF the State. The
marriage was to take place late on VI nday
afternoon, and cards were out for a rscep-
ton in the evening. Extensive preparations
were made for the event, and large Conn.,
pany was invited. The storm created some
misgivings in the minds of the bride and her
friends, as the. groom was to come to the
city by one Of the trains during Monday
There was no means OF telegraphing to the
happy man to ascertain whether he had LETT
home, or whether he was showed up there,
or on the road hiIher. 1t was too late to
call back the invitations, and at all events
there was much uncertainty as to the neces-
sity of postponement.
In the meintime night was comisg on,
things we're becoming gloriously uncertain
the bride and her maids were attired for the
even, the clergyman had even arrived, and
al was ready except that the groom had
not vet made his appearance, ner was there
much prospect ol his doing so. In course
OF time the guests began to arrive, and as
they could not be turned away again the
best face possible was put upon matters, and
the good things provided were demolished
Just as though the weuding had taken place.
The COCOON has not yet been heard from: he
probably IeE home in seas n to reach the
city in time fpr the Wedding: but he made
no calculations on Stress OF weather, and il
has not yet been as, srtaIned whether he
spent Monday night in Country tavern, or
u railroad car in snow draft.

From the new and extensive territory of

Canada line to the Suuihernmost part of
