Another Cosl Min. D,ss.,sr.

We have received the following particu.
lars OF another mine horror. ATT O'Clock
on Saturday morning last at Stockton, and
near Hazelton, Pa, coal mine caved In
hlliug the Ahah and tunnel vf1h enormous
masses Of eafth, and carrying two large
houses down With II belly, and choking
the eetfsnce To the nine. 81
There were several psssoas 10 the DWELL
Lighthouses, and these wen carried down In
the mass aud buried hopsaessly In the ruins.
or course they were instantly killed,
although as yet II has been entirely lmpos.
siblo to reach their bodies. Some men, Il 10
reported, were In the mine at the time, and
are supposed to have been killed instantly.
Ten persons In all lost their lives, aud efforts
are now being made TO cxtricate their bodies.
The houses fell distance OF forty feet, aud
were broken to fragments.
Another dispatch, dated Saturday at
.Mauch Chuuck, gives us the following fur
ther particulars Of the horrible tragedy
At Stockton, two miles, from HsIleton,
about O'Clock this morning, the ground
over a mine which has not been worked for
dheeu years, gave way. One block Of houses
fell In 80 quickly that two families living In
them had not time 70 get away, except one
little girl, who got out OF the house, but not
far enough away to escape falling In. She
fell on top of the houses, and was rescued.
Three families living 10 the adjoining block
had Just time enough to get out before the
whole block fell In. Ten persons went down
with the houses, Wis George Swank, wife
and four children, and Mr.. Reich, wife, child
and mother. They are still In the mine, and
must certainly be dead-either burned, smoth-
cred, or drowned.
The Hazletou steam FIRE engine has been
throwing continual stream OF water into
the hole since daylight to ertinguish the
flames. The flremen are doing all they can.
They have taken charge, aud extended a
rope around the hole, allowing no persons
inside. Trains are running every hour from
Hazleton to the scene of the disaster, and
win continue until the bodies are recovered,
which will not be for somo time, as tho
ground Is cracked around for q considerable
distance, aud is still falling, so that 1t Ia
dangerous to 60 to work. The excitement
Is very great, and is increasing. Families
10 the vicinity are moving out ofthcir houses.
II Is the general opinion that others will fall
In. There 10 also danger OF the ruins taking
fire. Mesrs. Linderman aud skeer arrived
this afternoon, and are sparing no pains 10
secure the bodies as speedily MS possible.

CANADIAN CRIrIcIsM OF Mr.. GALT's
SPEEcH.--Some of the Canadian papers do not
hesitate to indicate their dissent from the
views eS pressed by Mr.. Gait in the Canadian
Parliament in the speech of which we have
published telegraphic abstract. The Mont
real Herald, one OF the most influential papers
in the Dominion, reviews Mr.. Salts effort
with unfavorable comments IT the following
extract does not indicate leaning toward an
nexaton we are at loss TO understand the
meaning Of the language used:
Ii that were truly SOL the conclusion that an
American quarrel with England should not be
avenged upon us would be irresistible, and Mr..
Galt speaking like Canadian, fairly establish
ed his point. But presently he began to feel
like an Imperallst, and then expressing his be-
lief that England would not make further con-
cesslons on the Alabama question, he uttered
among the cheers of the House, the following
opinion that in case of need we should afford
her all the aid-military aid was meant--which
was in onr power. We suppose we should,
and that we take it indicates for good or for
evil the real position of this country. Futile
our assistance might be-utterly ruinous, per-
haps, to ourselves, and embarrassing or mis-
cevous to the Mother Country-but it would,
nay, must, be rendered. Thac being the case,
lt is silly TO amuse ourselves with talking OF
our independence in merely internal matters
since il is external relations alone which are
really in question, and in respect to these VIC
are as much part of England as the city of
London-to partake her gIories, but also to
bear the chief brunt of her trials, if these should
OCCUR upon this Continent. In our CONNER cal
relations to foreign countries, no less than in
our military relations, we must take the con-
sequences OF our true position. The real states
manship OF the hour is TO define, if needful to
modify this position; but to adopt such poll
cy as shall be in conformity to it, not to make
speeches which conceal the real character OF
Our status, and set us wandering after mere
phantoms.

Bangor paper copied from the Rural New
Yorker, under the following caption, ga New
Use for Whiskey." This article, it seems, was
a letter of correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker. 1t must be confessed that this cor
respondent is a shrewd fellow, and does not
cudgel his own brains for matter for his let
ters, but takes it, body and breeches, from 9TH
er papers. The article, which forms the let
ter of this correspondent was written for the
Portland Press by "Agricola,' and published
several mouths ago, and this correspondent
steals 1t and makes it one of his letters
However much we may admire his taste, we
can hardly call it honorable to steal matter
and appropriate it to his own use without Civ
ing the usual credit.

everything, walked through all -ti.e~fooms
ana examined all thn-rAliAs- With great care,
registering his name with the other visitors,
"U. S. Grant washington, D. G +" In the
room used by Washington asa library the
President took cigar out of his pocket and
going behind the door 10 avoid the draught of
wind, lighted it, smoking during the remain
der of the visit.
