CAVE OF A TUNNEL.-We learn Just before
going to press on Saturday evening, that the
tunnel of Messrs. Smith & Sparks main
quartz ledge caved on Saturday afternoon,
hopelessly burying two men alive. The main
tunnel runs into the mountain some nine hun
dred feet; from this main tunnel shaft was
sunk forty-two feet, and the men were at
work in drift from the shaft The shaft
was kept dry by an engine stationed in the
main tunnel. Some seventy-fve feet of the
main tunnel caved burying the engine, and
filling up the shaft. The men at the engine
had barely time to give the alarm and make
their escape, portions of the debris strik-
ing some of them as they fed To
reach the shaft would require clearing of
seventy-fve feet. AS the engine was con-
stantly employed to keep the shaft dry, it is
supposed the men were drowned in the drift.
We did not learn their names, nor what
steps had been taken towards their rescue

A TouGH SToRY.-A correspondent Of the
Anson (Me.) Advocate relates that on the Sth
September a male child was born at PALMYRA,
having two heads; the first, natural head,
seemed as nearly perfect as that of an infant
usually-the second, or unnatural head, was
connected 10y neck of about the usual length
and size to the back or posterior part of the
first one, little above the point where the
head and neck naturally join. Both heads
were of about the same size, and facing oppo
site ways. Hair grew perfectly natural on
both scalps, but the second head was entirely
wanting in features-there were a few small
irregularities where the face or features
should have been, appearing as if nature had
made an effort to form features, but without
success. The health of the child seemed good,
and it grew well until the 10th of the present
month, when the unnatural head was sue
cessfully amputated at the neck by DR.. J. G.
Manson of Pittsfeld. A dissection of this
showed the skull to be composed of bone and
cartilage also what should have been bone
in the neck proved to be cartilage The head
contained substance almost perfectly re-

is said to be fast recovering
