Terrible Accideat IN a Coal Nine -Sic men
Aated.-The Pittsburg Chronicle, of Thurs
day evening, records a most frightful acci
dent, which occurred on the morning of that
day. at Hays Il Co.'S Coal Works, near Irwin's
station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad. tap
pears that six men entered the shaft for the
purpose of going to work, and were being let
down IN the usual manner, when the rope at
tached TO the windlass with which they were
being lowered broke precipitating them
distance of some two hundred and twenty
feet, to the platform below. The result is
easily imagined. The entire party was killed
and their remains terribly maogled. They
were all miners aad worked in the nit
Three of them were married and men of fam
lilies The casualty was frightful one, and
produced deep sensation in the neghbor
hood where it transpired.

BB~ Thomas II. Burrowes, the recently ap-
pointed Superintendent of Common Schools,
was the Black Republican candidate for May
or, in Lancaster city few weeks ago, and
was defeated. When President Buchanan
appointed j. Clancy Jones to be Minister to
Austria, Immediately after his defeat for Con-
gress, the Lewistown Gazette considered the
act a great outrage, as showing a want of
respect, on the part Of the President, for the
will of the people. When Mr.. Burrowes,
however, is appointed to Office, immediately
.atter has defeat by The people, then, n the es
tlmation OF the Gazette, it was all right!

We copy the above from the last Lewis
town Democrat. We 10 not know which
editor claims the authorship of this choice
production, but whoever is he seems to be
both Ignorant Of politics and facts so far
as they relate to Mr.. Burrowes. That gen
tleman, shortly after the Buckshot war; be-
came patcm democrat, and unless lately
driven from the party by the inconsisten-
cies and monarchical assumptions of its
presentrulers, is one still. ThercpubIicans
ofLancasternever nominated him for Mayor,
he having run as an independent candi-
date. As to his present appointment, we
simply said he would make an able School
Superintendent-said it without reference
to politics-and the man 1ho denies that
quality TO him knows little of Mr.. y. and
still less of that school system with which
he has been identified for % years.
