TIS.--Dnring the past year the
question has been repeatedly decid-
ed by the most careful and searching
experiments made by competent
chemists and analysts. that the tin
ores of Missouri will pay hand
some profit for working. The Mis-
souri, Tin Company has been formed
composed Of some OF our most re-
sponsible and energetic business
men, who have paid in ample means
TO erect crushing and reduction
works-in a word to produce mer-
chantable pigs of tin; and in our
next annual review we confidently
hope to add tin to the articles pro-
duced in Missouri. We believe.
with Prof. Williams, of Delaware
College, that ''the production of tin
will soon be commenced in the
United States, and that eventually
Missouri will become the tin-pro-
ducing State Of the Union. - Journal

A REJECTED ONE.-A Louisville
girl whose lover called every morn
ing, and stayed all day and long
into the night, became discouraged
at so much attention. and concocted
n plan to get rid of him by asking
to help move the piano mp stairs. and
after that was done, changed her
mind, and had him help move it
down. She kept on until she had
removed all the furniture in the
house seven times, and he didn't see
the point; but the other night in de-
spair, when he called, she threw a
pail of water on him from the win
dow. He says he can't place any
confidence in women, and has pre-
sented bill for removing furniture.
True love never did run smooth by
water power.

BURNING OF 4 COAL SHAFT.
Fearful Loss Of Life.

PlrTsToN, May 81.
A coal shalt, three hundred feet deep, Is
burning. The fire Is supposed to have been
caused by friction of the hoisting apparatus.
Thirty or forty men were In the mines. The
engineer stood at his post, hoisting away, till
the timbers supporting the rope broke while
the carriage was ascending. All in the car
riagc were certainly killed, and 1t is unknown
how many were In the mine.
The scene about the shaft Is one of great
distress and anguish. Two steam fire engines,
one from Scranton and one from Wilkesbarre,
are on the ground. 1t is thought that no water
will be thrown into the shaft from the top, but
we are told the shaft will I'LL with water within
twenty-four hours, so that IL not sufDcated the
poor men must drown. There is no escape for
them. The fire engines are playing on the
ruins which are too hot. No ore can approach
probably till morning.
Later in the day dog was sent down in the
shaft Of the mine and was brought mp alive,
which fact encourages the belief that the thir-
ty-three men mag yet be saved.
P1TTsroN, Pa, May 2s.-Thirty. eight men
were taken from the mine, eighteen of whom
are dead.

TIE PROSPECT F0R COTTON.
A.Glance. Over the Field.
From lhe sayaisah Republican.

From The Savannah Republican,
II NAV not be uninteresting 10 our readers
! to give The result Of careful observation aud
much inquiry regarding the crops In the course
OF recent hasty trip through the states Oh
Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
In Georgia we are convinced thai u less area
Is planted In cotton than was In 1871. especial
ly in the southern and middle portion OF the
State, which are most productive Of the staple.
In the northern section quite as much has been
pnt in as in 1870, thOugh.everyWheret the plant
is backward in It's growth and sickly IN appear
ance. The recent cold and wet weather mas
either killed outright or seriously damaged the
crop. and we have no thought Of its reaching
that of last Year, by at least fourth or hlth.
EVERYWHERE an increased breadth has been
planted in grain, and With anything like fair
seasons the production of breadstuTs will De
abundant. In Cherokee Georgia, where the
crop promised we'll a-faw weeks ago. It. has
been almost entirely destroyed on all the low
and level lands by The rust, and we nave no
thought that over halfa crop will be made in
that section.
In Tennessee, North Alabama and North
Mississippi, the reduction OF cotton Is even
greater lhan in Georgia. 1t is rare thing to
| see cotton field OH the line OF the Memphis
and Charleston Road, while last year nearly
the whole OF that splendid country was de-
voted to the staple. Corn now prevails every.
where, and the crop bids fair 10 be most
abundant. Intelligent planters informed us
that The same state Of things existed of from
| the road, the experience OF The present sea-
son having thoroughly disgusted the people
| generally with redundant cotton crop.
Throughout all that section, the crops OF all
sorts are in a bad condition as 10 culture. The
entire spring has been so wet that the great
est difficulty has been experienced In both
planting and working, and the rains still con-
| tinued.
In the Mississippi Valley. on the Arkansas
and Red Rivers, the same unfaVorable condl-
tlon OF thugs exists, If not TO worse extent.
| The whole country is flooded, and planting OF
every kind is exceedingly backward. II is
feared the waters Will not subside ana the
earth become dry enoughin time 10 make any
thing like an average crop.
We heard nowhere higher estimate OF tne
crop OF the present year than 3,0OO,0 0Q0 bales,
| and our own observations 90 not justify lis IN
putting 1t beyond that figure. One additional
TACT is worthy of notice-commercial 4ertlliz-
ers have been sparingly used the present see
son throughout the South. This. Of itseli,
woud effect q material reduction Of the crop,
even were the same breadth Of land IN Gull
| tivalion.
Upon survey OF the whole field, So far as
We have been able To compass 1t, we ore con-
rinced Of Lwo things, namely that the crop Oh
cotton will full lar short Ot that OF last year,
and the crop Of corn be among the largest ever
raised in the cotton States.

CROP PROSPECTS IN TIE STATE.
Beaufort.

the crons are reported as being in excellent
condition in this vicinity, says the Beaufort
Republican, notwithstanding The very severe
drougnt. The clouds have wore threatening
aspect on several occasions, but the rain. II
there was any, has given US the Slip and lodg-
ed elsewhere. In our town rain is especially
needed; the cisterns are quite innocent ofeven
dampness.
The remarkably. cold rains of the past two
weeks. it is feared, says the Ledger, has seri-
ously affected the cotton crop. In some land 8
the plant has been almost entirely killed out.
We hear some complaint of the rust in wheat
and oats. Corn is looking we'll for this season
of the year, and as there has been quite large
crop planted, We may look'for plentiful har-
vest. Our intelligence from the Western coun-
ties Of North Carolina are favorable to both
corn and wheat.
We have made careful Inquiries from all
parts oil our county. says the Union Times, as
to the condition OF the Gotten plant, and find
reports agree that, upon The gray laads, the
cold weather has done considerable mischief;
In many places the plant looks slckfy, and bad
s'slandsm are the result. Gpon'Ted lands the
plant has suffered but little. In fact, we have
ers saw thew never had better islands" than
thew now have upon their red lands, and the
nla6t looks i.sleek and greasy which Indi-
Gates health and vigor. All. however, agree
that the crop has been greatly injured. and in
many sections whole fields have been ploughed
up and corn substituted. While We do not
think thearea of cotton planted In this county
is less than last year. we are pleased to hear
that a much larger area has been devoted TO
corn and other cereals than for any year since
the war.
Chester.
The Reporter says: 1--WE regret to learn that
the damage to cotton by the cold spell OF week
before last was much greater than We had at
first supposed. On many plantations where
the plant had been brought TO stand, so
much of 1t was killed that 1t was found neces
sary to plough up and plant again. On other
plantations replanting with the hoe was re-
sorted to. Where the cotton had not been
chopped out, sufficient stand to make q crop
was generally left. The cold nights continued
during nearly all Of last week. causing Stall
more of it TO die, and entirely retarding Its
growth. On Thursday night, the 18th instant,
one or two degrees lower would have given US
a frost. The result Is that the outlook for
crop is gloomy, and our planting friends are
correspondngly depressed. Corn, too, OF
which unusually good stands had been secured,
has felt the Influence OF the weather, and has
come to standslil, wailing ior more genial
weather before trying to grow. Wheat is more
or less injured by the rust. aud the yield Is not
as promising as 1t was a month ago"
