TERRIBLE Explosion In a Coal shaft.
Three Men Killed.

About Z o'clock yesterday morning,
IL terrific explosion took place in the
coal shaft, known as the Mendenhall
shaft, at Rush Run, on the Cleveland
ard Pittsburgh Railroad, by which
three men working in the shaft were
Instantly killed Their names we have
mot been able to ascertain
This shaft has been sunk to,a depth
OF 260 feet. but no branch mining has
Vet been done. Workmen have been
engaged some days in putting down in
the shaft what are known as ways" or
guides for the cars TO slide up and down
in. A platform Covering the opening Of
the shaft had been let down as the
work progressed, until It was
about seventy feet from the mouth
cutting their work. About seven O'Clock
yesterday morning the gang which had
been at work was relieved by a fresh
one. Those relieved had been out of
the shaft but few minutes, and but
three of the new gang had gone down,
when an explosion took place which
startled the country for several miles
around. Search was at once made for
The men who had gone down, but up to
The latest advices only one ofthe bodies
had been found. 1t was found hang
ing limp and loose on some of the tim
i-efh On tlo olub vi tllC Slhlb dDOuL on
ieet down, with the back broken. II had
evidently been thrown to a great
height aud had fallen across the timber.
The only trace of the others wars boot
and some remnants of clothing found
81 considerable distance from the SHAFT.
1t is of course impossible to do anything
more than conjecture whether the other
bodies were thrown out or fell back
and went to the bottom of the shaft,
The platform WAS torn to shivers, and
the shed over the mouth of the shaft
was blown off. There is said to be an
immense mass of = timber and dirt
at the bottom, blown down by
the force of the explosion, un-
Ter which it is thought the two
missing bodies may be buried. Others
conjecture they were blown out and
fell1tur the7river, which is but n short
distance from the mouth Ofthe shaft.
There being none left to tell
the tale, til Is impossible to
say what was the immediate cause of
the explosion. There was a tap in the
platform on which the workmen stood
aud IL is thought that they may have
Orened this and let lantern down
below and thus ignited the gas or Sire
damp"
1t is not unreasonable, however, to
suppose that the gas arose above the
platform and came in contact with the
Lame of the lamp, which was an ordi-
mary one, unprotected by the wire gauze
uf the safety lamp"

| The secret of identifying the skin being known
only to Messrs Jared d Rene, they honestly state
that it differs from all other preparations. Ii
| gives to the most harsh and freckled skin both
the color and texture of polished ivory, removing
all discolorations whether appearing rs treckleS,

liges me to use, that consider it perfect bene
faction to find preparation which gives the ne

10 MAKE A LAwN.-There are many who
would like to make good lawn, or even
have a nice green spot near them, without
knowing just how to go to work, except
having it sodded, which is very expensive,
owing to the great difficulty of obtaining
sod. To such the following directions may
be useful:
First. we'll prepare your soil. 1t would be
useless to attempt either sodding or sowing
upon soil having been dug out of cellar,
without first highly enriching it, for such
soil would not support weeds until it has
been exposed to the fertilizing influence OF
the atmospheric gases for sufficient time
for them to become incorporated with the
soil, and thus give nutriment to vegetation.
AS fertilizers we would recommend well de-
composed barn yard manure, Astounding IN
vegetable matter and ammonia, IN addition
slight mixture OF guano. or better still on &C
count of its freedom from odor, finely pull
verified bone, both Astounding in phosphate
and minerals the very elements necessary Tor
the support of ali grasses. Then take good
clean new seed free from weeds, OF the fol-
lowing indigenous grasses, which are all
natural to our climate, latitude and soil, and
which are found growing spontaneously upon
every spot of surface soil throughout the
State of Ohio, unoccupied by other vegeta-
ton and exposed to sun and moisture
Take equal parts of Kentucky Blue Grass
Poa Pratense) and Red Top, (Agrostis Vul-
garis) with mixture of three to four pounds
to the bushel of White Glover (Trifolium re-
peus.) This mixture sow evenly and very
literally at the rate of six CO. bushels to the
acre, or one quart for every ten QO) square
feet, raking it in thoroughly.
Sowing much less would be loss of
time and labor, as the hot sun of next sum-
mer would certainly scorch it out, besides,
the thicker the grass, the more beautiful,
delicate velvety green your lawn, and the
less trouble to keep it short and even
These grasses are all fbrous rooted, and will
not be injured by the most frequent cutting
at any stage of their growth, unlike limo
thy, which is dubious rooted, and should
never be used for lawns. We can recon-
mend the above simple mixture, because it
is the natural selection of nature for our
soil, and after many careful trials and expe-
riments has been found far superior to all
foreign and imported grasses.

DANGEROUS PAPER.-The London Paper
Trade Review SAWS:


Trade Review says:
"There is great difference in the COM
bustibility of common paper. Enamelled
card paper, on account of its compact body
and the presence of mineral matter, white
lead or barytes, is quite disinclined to burn
in fact, some kinds are practically fire proof
White writing and printing paper can sell
dom be lighted by spark, and when ignit-
ed by flame it requires dexterity to keep
it. On the other hand, there is common
reddish yellow paper which, in circum-
stances, is as dangerous as gunpowder. 1t
takes fire by the smallest spark, and buns
like finder. When onece lighted, if left
alone, it is sure to be consumed completely
And the yellow and the buff paper, out of
which envelopes are made, partakes more or
less of the same character. There is no doubt
that such has been the occasion of some of
the fires in this country which have been
otherwise explained, such as the fires in pa
per warehouses and offices of professional
men. A spark of fire, or the stump or
lighted cigar, falling in waste basket con-
tanning yellow envelopes, with other kinds
of paper, would have a good chance of set
ting the whole on fire."
