A GENTLEMAN in the eastern part of
the state, who was about having his leg
on account of its being bent
at right angles and stiff at the knee,
heard of JoHNsoN's ANoDYNE IMMINENT.
After using it short time, his leg be-
came straight, and is now as serviceable
as the others.

Terrible Mining Disaster.

Another fearful mining disaster oc-
Cured at the Eagle shaft, about mile
south of Pittston, Penn, occasioned by
an explosion of fire damp. Eighteen
men were at work in the chamber in
which the explosion occurred, and there
is NO hope but that all in the mine have
met with death.
In going to and from their work the
miners used an air shaft, which they as
cended and descended by means of lad
der, the main opening not being pro-
vided with safety car, and therefore
considered unsafe. 1t is supposed that
the explosion blew away the props, and
a consequent fall of the roof followed,
completely blocking up the passages,
and cutting off the means of escape,
should the men escape death from the
explosion, which is not probable.
On hearing the explosion, volunteers
at once proceeded in the direction of the
noise, without lamps, and IN about three
quarters of an hour, brought up the
body of miner named Benjamin Davis.
At about o'clock the body Of Evan e.
Jones was found and brought up. Dur
ing the afternoon the dead bodies of
Thos. Leyshon, Jas. Morgan, and David
Harris were found and brought up.
On entering the chamber in which the
explosion occurred, fall of rock was
first found, which lay partly upon car,
completely blocking up one side, and
leaving space on the other just sufi-
cient for a man to force himself through.
Some distance further in there was
another fall, which completely filed the
passage, and behind this the men are
walled so completely that it will take
hours of the most persistent labor to
reach them. All that mortals can do
was done to rescue the unfortunates, but
only blackened and disfgured remnants
of mortality rewarded the toilers.
Outside the scene was heartrending in
the extreme. Thousands of sympathiz-
ing citizens, miners, and others rendered
all the assistance that was possible under
the circumstances. Women and chill
dren were weeping, wringing their hands,
and mourning aloud for the loved and
lost, and waiting, in anxious, hopeless
expectation, for each new report from
the poisonous pit.
This mine has been nearly exhausted,
and was known to be filled with the
black-damp, and yet it was considered
safe, and has been constantly worked
since the conclusion of the strike, al
though not to its full capacity. Twelve
feet of gas was found in heading just
off the gangway, which had been tray
ersed all day by explorers with naked
light, and the merest accident would have
caused another and a worse explosion,
involving loss of at least so lives.

VIZ earnestly urge the democrats Of
Cairo and the country precincts of
Alexander county to 60 to the polls on
Tuesday next and vote the democratic
ticket. If there could be secured gen.
eral rally of the democratic party at the
polls the state would give to Hayes, the
democratic candidate for congressman
from the state at large, very large ma
jority; but the danger is, that apathy
may keep too many from casting their
ballots. This fact should be borne in
mind that it is the duty of every
voter who believes the country unsafe
in radical hands to cast his ballot at
every election in the direction of his be-
lief. The faithful performance of this
duty will inevitably result in the defeat
of the radical party but if each con-
servative, discouraged by defeat, shall
say "Let others save the country, /
am tired of making effort" the battle
is surely lost to the friends Of good
government. Turn out, then, conser.
vative friends, on next Tuesday, and
vote the entire democratic ticket.
