KNOCKING AWAY PRoPs.-"Ses,
father" said lad who was walking
with his father, "they are knocking
away the props from under the bridge.
What are they doing that fore Won't
the bridge fall ?"
"rhey are knocking them away
said the father, "that the timbere may
rest more firmly on the stone piers
which are now finished"
God often takes away our earthly
props, that we may rest more firmly
upon him. God sometimes takes away
mans health, that he may rest upos
him for his daily bread. Before his
health failed, though he perhaps daily
repeated his words, "Give us this day
our daily bread,n he looked to his own
industry for that which he asked of
God. The prop being taken away, he
rests wholly upon Gods bounty, When
he receives it rs the gift of Gsd.
God takes away our friends that we
may look to him for sympathy. When
our affections were exercised upon OBJ
Jects around us, then we rejoiced in
their abundant sympathy and support.
We were brought TO realize that lie
alone could give support, and form Az
adequate portion of the soul. Thus are
our earthly props removed, that wa
may rest more firmly and wholly upos
God.

In reply TO an inquiry as to whether
the President had seen General Thomas
since the interview of the latter with
Mr.. Stanton the President said yes, and
proceeded to state what, according to
his information, had occurred at that
interview. General Thomas" he said,
waited upon Mr.. Stanton, and showed
him the Presidents order removing
Mr.. Stanton and appointing him Gen
eral Thomas, as Secretary of War dd IN.
tcrim. Mr.. Stanton read the order, and
asl.ed Thomas whether he would be
obliged to vacate the Office forthwith.
Thomas said his instructions were to
assume control imme diately. Stanton
then said he would like to have time
to arrange and take away his pa
pcrs and documents to which Thomas
replied that considerable time would
be allowed for such purpose. No
time, however, was fixed for Mr.. Stan

Your correspondent had some further
conversation with the President, but
The chief points have been given. The
President repeatedly expressed his utter
indifference as to what course Congress
might adopt on the impeachment ques-

Mine Catastrophe.

FI2ing up Of he oxford Mne-100 mon
SuJmerged-d terrible rush Of ,cater--
narroW escape of Miners.
THE majority of our citizens were
startled yesterday afternoon with re-
port that went flying from mouth to
mouth, that the bed of the Lackawanna
River had broken through, and the Ok
ford Mines owned by James S. Scran-
ton, Esq, were suddenly filled with
water, and all of those in the mines met
with IL sudden death. This report
caused intense excitement, and our
citizens flocked to the scene of disaster
by hundreds. AS soon rs possible We
visited the mines. and from the gen.
tlemanly owner learned full and accu.
rate particulars.
The accident occurred about three
O'Clock in the afternoon. w. Thomas,
who was working at the point where
the opening was made, htd prepared
! blast and let it off, when, without 2
moments warning, the water poured
down through the tunnel volume Of
full five feet, spreading through the
chambers and dips, and filling them up
as well as carrying everything before
the rushing torrent. To showits force,
II mule was struck, and turned and
rolled over as if he had been a leaf
floating on the surface Of the stream.
Mr.. j. S. Lewis, foreman of the mines
who was in the lower chambers at the
time of the accident, acted with great
GOODNESS and decision, and it was main
ly through his prompt action that the
accident was not attended with severe
loss of life. Mr.. Lewis, on the fl ST in.
timation of danger, gave the alarm to
the men in the dips, and they made
their way out as fast As possible, many
Of them wading in water waist deep,
! while Others swain to places where they
could gain standing place. After see
! ing his men taken care of he next
turned his attention to the mules, and
fastened part of the twenty in the
mines in an upper chamber, after which
he Waded to the opening and was con-
veyed to the upper world in safety.
About three acres of ground were
covered with water to the depth of
i've or six feet.
Those present at the mines when the
accident first occurred assure us that it
was Il terrible scene. Thousands of
people were assembled, men, women
and children, and large number of
them had husbands, fathers, brothers
and sons in danger. Women screamed
and wrung their hands little children
added their voices to the general lamen-
tatiOn, while men stood silent and wept.
4 hundred dear ones were many feet
below, powerless, helpless, and for
aught they knew, were already drowned
No wonder the cry of agony and the
wall Of despair was heard from those
who waited above in horrible suspense;
nor is it to be wondered at that strong
men, unused to the melting mood
should weep briny drops, as they
thought of the fate of their friends and
neighbors, and the awful calamity that
was lowering, like pail, over the city
When it was ascertained to certain
ty that all were rescued, the scene Of
rejoicing was equally as intense.
