On recent Sunday evening, young
man, whom, for the sake of convenience,
we will call John, went TO visit the girl
whom he would call his own. The fair
one resides near the canal. During the
evening the young man of the name OF
John was unable to conceal the wish OF
his heart, and in tender accents declared
his desire that the young lady should con-
sent to be his He met with flat refusal.
The ardent John still pressed her further,
declaring that, if she would not accept him
he would then and there drown himself in
the briry waters of the canal AS this
threat did not effect the desired purpose,
he proceeded to carry it out. He plunged
fearlessly in the murky flood, and waded
out until the chilly water reached over his
shoulders. 1t will be remembered that the
evening on which this occurred was none
of the warmest. Retreating before finally
carrying out his purpose, John cried out,
shivering with cold: s7s4s n

From the relative high charges, the operating
expenses of the road are but 32% per cent. of the

deducting from the aggregate of all operating
expenses (S395, $50 92) 3% per cent (S157 564 42)

A HORRIBLE DISASTER.
Over One Hundred Men Buried Alive
in q Coal Mine.

The columns of the European Ger
nan papers are filled with the partic-
ulars of one of the greatest disasters
that ever desolated any mining dis
trict.
On the LIST of July last the wooden
framework of a thousand five hun
dred feet deep pit of a coal mine in
the neighborhood of Lugau, IN Sax
ony, gave way, blocking up with an
~impenetrable mass of timber ald rock
the pit at the depth of about three
hundred ellis from the top. At the
moment of the disaster one hundred
and two men, nearly all of them the
supporters of large families, were
working al the bottom Of the mine.
Their provisions were only calculated
for one day. On the 9Th of July, the
date of our latest news by mail, the
place where the fallen masses had
stopped, the pit was of such a sold
structure that the water was standing
on it many feet high. From all sides
the most available help was offered,
but the conviction that nothing could
be done soon enough to save the un-
fortunate miners weakened, as il
seems, any energetic efforts. They
were doomed to die Of starvation and
want of fresh air. On the 4th OF
July all attempts to reach the bottom
OF the mine by any quick process were
abandoned, and a slow but sure plan
was devised, by which at least the
corpses Of the persisted could be ex-
tracted. Iron tubes Of about two
feet In diameter were 70 be sunk
through the obstruction down TO the
bottom of the pit. Among the dead
are torty-four married men, one OF
whom had a wife and nine living
children. The scenes at the entrance
Of the pit are described as lanenta-
bic without a parallel. One hundred
and thirty-seven children filed the

Great New England Remedy
DIR. J..W. POLANB'S
WHITE PINE


rs NOW OFFERED TO THE Ar
h f1icted throughout the country, after
having been proved by the test of eleven
Its merits have become as well known as
the tree from which, in part, it derives its
virtues.
The White Pine Compound Cures
Sore Throat, Colds, Coughs, Dipthe-
ria, Bronchitis, Splitting Of Blood,
Il IS a Remarkable Remedy far
fculty Of posding Urine, Bleeaing
from the Kidneys and Bladder,
GrdUet and other complaints.
4 In November, 1855, l first advertised il
under the name of White Pine Compound.
In two years from that time there had
neen wholesaled in Manchester alone one
hundred thousand dollars worth, where
it took the lead of all the cough remedies
in the market, and it sill maintains that
position. There are good reasons for this:
il is very soothing and healing in its ma
ture, is warming in the stomach. and
pleasant withal to the taste, and is ex-
AS a remedy for kidney complaints the
White Pm Compound stands unrivaled.
1t was not originated for that purpose but
a person in using it for n cough was not
only cured of the cough, but was also
cured of a kidne difficulty of ten years
standing. Since that accidental discovery,
many thousands have u ed it forthe same
complaint, and have been completely
cured"
THE WHITE PINE COMPOUND.
alt was earlyin the spring of 80 that this
compound was originated. A emb OF
my family was afflicted with an irritation
ofthe throat, attended with a Z fsagreeable
cough. L had for some months previous
thought that a preparation having for its
basis the inside bark of White Pin might
be so compounded as TO be very useful in
diseases OF the Throat and Lungs. To test
the value of it in the case alluded to, /
compounded a small quaint y OF the medi-
cine that i had been planning, and gave 1t
in t~easpoonful doses. The result was ex-
ceedingly gratifying. Within two days,
the irritation of the throat was removed,
the cough subsidized, aud a speedy cure wa
effected. tr... |
The above was written by DIR. Poland IL
1860. Since then, as in manchester, tn
OF all cough remedies, as well as prepare
tions for the cure OF kidney dirticulties, Il
every city, town, village, and hamlel
throughout the New England States.
