the public have been met with great sue

occurred in the Belcher mine, which
caused the death Of Charles Scott. a
worthy and hard working miner. A cave

Of water and mud. The workmen labored
four hours before they found him. Scott
was forty years Of age, q single man. and
q native Of Ireland. II. Trahan, who was
not far from Scott, narrowly escaped
drowning. by cropping his way in the dark
through a drift until he reached a ladder,
on arriving at which he was surrounded
by at least four feet Of water, but he es-
capped without injury. Mr.. Maxwell, the
Foreman, had warned these men Of the
