A TRIAL OF NERVE.

SETTING ora swARM OF BEES on \
fAN'S FACE.
Is June, lBl, Mr.. Simmonds, n
farmer residhg at Brookland Farm,
Wcybridge, kls dressing in order to
attend the rer I audit ut Woburn House.
Before putting on his coat, he prcccived
from his wiIhow an unusually large
swarm Of bees filling the rwith their
cloud and nois. 1t was, in fact, n. he
afterwards asertaincd, two swarms,
that had come 'ut OF two distant hives
and had unitediu the air. He ran out
in his shirt slee'es, and without his hat,
to see where tley would alight. The
bees, after makhg some circles in the
air, led him off O the bank of the river
Wey. Thinking that the bees might
cross the river and perhaps escape, he
adopted a plan not uncommon with
bee-masters, namely, that Of throwing
dust into the air among the bees
This often makei them settle quickly.
They did settle quickly, and this more

would no doubt hive received n suflici
cent number of stiags to have placed hi
life in peril. He was obliged to clos,
his eyes slowly, and to keep his moutl

entering his nostrils, which they en-
deavored to do, he slowly thrust on

two fingers managed to keep drawing

y HORRIBLE DISASrEE.-Th col
umns Of the European German papers
are filled with the particulars Of the
greatest disaster that ever desolu;cd any
mining district
On the first of July last, the wooden
| framework Of Il | 900 feet deep pit OF Il
coal mine in the ncighborhood of In
gan, in 'aNOny, gave way, blocking up
with an impcnctrablc mass Of timber
and rock, the pit at a depth of about BOG
ellis from the top. At the moment o
the disaster l02 men, nearly all of them
the supporters Of large families, werl
working in the bottom of the mine
Their provisions We're calculated for one
day. On the 9TH of July, the date o
our latest news by mail, the place were
the fallen masses had stopped the pit
was such solid structure that the water
was standing ON it many feet high
From all sides the most available he'll
was offered, hut the conviction that
nothing could he done soon enough to
save the unfortunate miners weakened,
as it seems, any energetic efforts.
They were doomed to die Of starva-
tion and want Of fresh air. On the 9Th
of July all attempts to reach the bottom
Of the mine by any quick process were
abandoned, and slow but sure plan
was devised by which at least the
corpscs of the persisted could be extract
ed. Iron tubes of about two feet in
diameter We're to be sunk through the
obstructiOu- to the bottom of the pit
Among the dead are iorty-four married
men, one OF whom had II wife and nine
living children. The scenes at the en-
trance of the pit are described as lamen
table without a parallel. One hundred
and thirty-seven children filled the ali
with their woeful cries, whilst the su
pcrintcndcnt of the mines, to whost
negligence the disaster was asCribcd bN
the people, could only be saved from
being mobbcd by his sudden impriSon
mpnt.

OFFICE.
MAIN STREET, sIIICKsHINNY, PA.
The lands held by this Company, consist of
FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY
ONE ACRES,

and sixty-four perchcs, of carefully selected land
lying southwest OF Barre, Tuzcrnc caun-
ty Pa. IN the western part OF the Great Northern
or Wyoming Coal Basin.
4 very careful and thorough examination re-
Gently made has proven these (for the above)
lands ts be the embodiment Of II vast amount of
the very best quality ofunthracte coal having
every facility that could be desired for trans
portation In all directions. The above tract IL
crossed by good road, and also directly in
front, and joining are the IRckawanna Il Blooms-
burg railroad, and the Wyoming canal, thus af-
iording the very best advantage of II carrying road
and canal running to the very mouth of the
mines without expense to the company.
. The measurement of the different beds or seams
already developed was carefully obtained and
added together: the thickness of these seams,
including the celebrated "Red Ash, ""Buck Noun
trin." or "Grand Tunnel vein. is thrty-onc and
half feet $40, every cubic yard Of which will
yield II ton, giving II large amount Of the best
quality Of coal.
The location is such that all the veins may be
cut and worked to the greatest possible advantage
above water level, and Mt much less expense than
can De done from collcrcs operating below water
level.
The con can be brought to the surface through
drifts or tunnels which drain the water from the
mines and saves the hoisting of the coal SO the
eligibility OF these lands for cheap mining Is un-
questionable. Very lately the "Grand Tunnel"
or "Rcd Ash" vein has been opened, and il now
producing aS fine II quality of coal as has ever
been produced In the anthracite regions. The
breaker now In operation is capable of prepariag
Iroin 80 to 10 tons per day. Tie surface contains
an abundant supply of wool and tlinbervcr val
aE,blo for mining purposes, which gives the tract
the advantage of many other coal lands, The
fact that almost all valuable coal lands are being
rapidly taken up by heavy capitalists or large cor
pOmtions, shows that they must steadily and
greatly rise in the market value, while with the
immense and constantly increasing demand Tor
this coal and the Railroad and North Branch ca
nal, passing by the mouths OF the mines, through
the Great Iron making districts of Bloomsbury
