ES-FURTHER Particulars OF THE AC-
cIpEsr AT wEeEE.-we have some further
particulars of the terrible accident which
occurred in SheaGer / Co.'s coal works Mt
Wegee, on the Ohio river, few miles be-
low this city, on Saturday last, by which
two men we're instantly killed, and The life
of another endangered. For several days
the men, Anchuz, Strause and Narbock, had
been working hard to see which could get
IN tie most coal, and there was some ir-
terest in the matter. On Saturday morn
ing they all three hurried into the bank
thonghtlessly with their little lamps on
the front part Of their caps. On Friday
night there had been a strong wind blow
ing which had iuterfered badly with the
ventilation of tue place, and the wOrkmen
were not aware of this. The expulsion, Of
course, took place Immediately on their
entrance, but the fact was not discovered
until about two hours afterwards. A
strong smell of gas, however, about six
o'clock. and the generally upturued cOndi-.
ton of things about the bank, soon led to
an investigation, and quite large number
of persons assembled. 1t was regarded as
exceedingly dangerous to enter the bank
owing to the great prevalence of foul air,
or "choke damp" a gentleman named
KiIgOre, aud another named Blue, though
warned of the great danger, went forward
into the dark places cropping close to the
ground to keep from being suffocated, and
at last came upon the body of Anchuz,
who was still alive; and little further
search discovered the two others, both of
whom were dead, and mangled as to almost
defy Identification, They were found in
different paris of the chamber, at least
hundred feet from where they must have
been ut work. The upper portion of the
head of one OF the men was taken entirely
of, and nearly every stitch of clothing was
blown from their bodies. The bodies were
conveyed as speedily as possible to the
mouth Of the bank and properly attended.
&Iarbock was German, aud formerly a
resident ofthis city. He leaves wife and
six children. Strause was also married
mnu and German. Auchuz, we learn, is
not SO badly injured but that strong hopes
are entertained of his recovery.

b9rYEsTERDAr being the first of April
was hard day on the movers. The usual
number of carts were backed up before
the usual number of dwellings, aud moved
Oft with the usual quantity of fitting for
s,me other neck of woods. The rain de-
sceuded upon and dSmpeued the goods,
The carts, the housewives, aud the children
cr the just and the unjust.
We had intended to offer some sugges.
tons in this connection about the incon-
veuiences of moving about every year, and
the pleasures of living in house of ones
own, aud cultivating and identifying the
same with trailing vines, roses aud shrub
hery, and that sort of thing; but it has just
occurred to our imprnctica6le mind that
there are those who haven't got the money
to buy house of their own, and who think.
themselves mighty well of to have dwell.
ling to move into. The birds of the air
have nests, the foxes have holes, but fire.
quen'ly now, as of old, the son of men
hath not where to lay his head. There.
fore the suggestions which we intended to
offer might be taken as rather grim sort
ola joke.

letter from the thirteenth regiment, dated at

never is away, and the regiment is extended
so that one company is thirty miles above
and one picket nine miles below, besides
guards at the canal here, aud provost guard
and guard at the quartermaster's department.
We have fire companies in camp and they
have been very busy, for we have had two
companies at time up and down the river for
twenty miles to resist attack and TO trap the
rebels. We are known all up and down the
liver, and that id Massachusetts regiment,
with those rifles, $50 say the rebels is equal

Though the rebels are within range, they are
in stone mill, aud our boys are behind the
canal--a grand sight, though, for us. Two
large guns lay idle and deserted, and they dare
not go to get them. Think OF it, and then
think that we could not by any means get
across the river aud take them. Just imagine

ance, rather than the mere qualification OF a
passion for amusement. Generally there has
been commendable promptuess on the part OF
those attending the lectures-st there are
some things relative to the manner and habits
OF portion OF our citizens who occasionally
attend, which should be corrected | refer to
the practice OF coming into the hall at all times
after the lecturer commences, and OF leaving
in the same manner before the close of the
lecture. This custom, or, in other words.
this habit OF leaving and entering the hall
during tie delivay e a lecture is very annoying to
those Who desire 10 hear It through, and especially
motitying 10 the speaker. Why shorld this
practice or habit be tolerated any more in at
tending lectures than at church on the Sab.
bath7 No one thinks of leaving church during
the services, however uninteresting they may
seem to be. St if there are those whose
engagements or inclinations are such that they
cannot spend the entire evening in the lecture
room, seat near the entrance to the hall might be
selected by them, thereby abating the annoyance
OF entering and leaving the hall during the
