galloped in every direction for surgeons. An
awful wall arose in the cottages belonging to
the men down the pit as the intelligence reached
their families, and then women and children
aOcked TO the pit mouth, where a frightfnl
scene ensued as the men and lads who had es-
capped were brought to ths bank. The deputies
and overmen who were not down in the pit forth
with commenced making efforts to rescue those
who were known to be in the pit. Hundreds
of persons remained on the bVnk all night many
Of them women and children, shivering in the
cold air, in breathless hope that some one would
come out of the pit to give them Intelligence Of
father, brother, husband, or son, but upon whom
they were never destined to gaze again, except
as q blackened corpse. A walk through The
village on Saturday afternoon showed that in
almost every third house there was q corpse, ol
