HOW TO DESTROY BURDoCK.

The st. Louis Journal of agriculture
thinks that August is the time to attack
and destroy burdock. 1t says the old
stems with burrs on them should be cut
with spade or mattock just below the
surface. and piled carefully together
while green. After a few days Of dry
weather, set fire to them, and stand by
till the last burr goes to ashes. This
done, the young plants that have grown
from the seed this year should either be
pulled up or the rows cut off below the
collar, and thrown upon the manure
heap.

RAILROAD AcclD@NT. Last Monday morni' G
the western bound passenger train of the c. L.
r. r. met with serious accident opposite this
town. at point about two hundred yards below
the Auburn Station Depot and less than one
hundred yards above the high einblnkment and
trestle near Colonel Finley's. At that point
there is a switch in a narrow cut made through
soft rock. The train, which was drawn by the
engines Success and Fancy, had but just left the
depot. and had not gained full headway, wher
one Of the engineers noticed that the switch wa,
turned off lie Immediately reversed his engine,
but it was too late to prevent an accident Boil
locomotives, with their tenders and Ia. mail and
express cars, ran of the tack, causing IRE y
serious snash-up. The Success made an ine.-
fectual attempt to plow her way through the
rocky east bank Of the cut agd The rear trucks o.
her tender were twisted into position 1T right
angles with the body Of the tender. The cow
catcher OF the Fancy was doubled back under th
engine, which was seriously battered andwrencl :
ed. The iron and wood work about the express
and baggage cars also gave battered evidence OF
the power of steam. Fortunately, nobody was
seriously hurt. Assistance was promptly al;
hand, IN the shape OF locomotives and hands
from Roc!sln, Co:ax and Intern ediatc points
and damages We're soon repaired as to permit
the passage Of the trains. AS hand Car loaded
with section hands had passed down few hours
previous to the accident, and as the switch was
locked at the time of the occurrence, it seems
almost certain that some fiond in human shar e
must have possessed himself Of Il key and changed
the switch with devilish intent. If the acciden.
had occurred o hundred yards further down the
road it must have resulted in frightful loss of
life.-Stars and Stripes.
The train was delayed between sig and seven
hours by the accident.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPEDITION IN
SHAFT SINKING.

SrR.-The above heading will form the sub
stance OF the following article and show to the
mining world the advantage and utility of EN-
ployins skillful and practical labor, and conclu-
sively prove the truthfulness of the old adage
that time is money" Some eight weeks ago
the Superintendent of the ST. Patrick mine con-
cluded that he would deepen the mine som
eighty feet, thus making the depth from the
surface three hundred feet. He (the Superin-
tendent), who had an eye TO business, selected
nine men, the flower of an army Of Cornish
miners who are in California to perform
the work by contract, viz: Captain Jack Eva, W.
II. Mitchell (better known as Master Wili), Dan
Decide, Harry Evans, Harry Row, John Pooly,
Edward Mitchell, Thomas Oates and james Tip
petit According to mining rules the contract
was let to the above parties at th'rytwo dollars
and half per foot for fifty feet, all blasting
ground and the shaft being about eight feet long
by five feet wide. To the astonishment of 10th
the Superintendent and foreman, in five weeks
from the day they commenced the fifty feet was
completed thus sinking at the wonderful rate OF
ten feet per week. The next contract was thirty
three feet allowing tiree feet for sump, at
same rate viz: ten feet per week; in about eight
weeks the eighty-three feet was ali but completed
Thus the money paid in labor for sinking eighty.
three feet in Il shaft being all blasting ground
and considerable amount of water to contend
WITH was $2,6l5 Had the work been done
either by day-work or incompetent men, the cost
OF labor would be nearly double, as instead o.
eight weeks it would have taken about twenty
weeks to finish the same amount Of work. And
yet sir We find parties who are full OF envy and
spite towards that sturdy and practical race OF
men, and who would fain make thea slaves by
ever and anon crying "more brick, more NOR
tar" There is no country under the suI which
has afforded the same opportunities of making
competent miners as Cornwall, and it is them i'll
preference to any other country men that are
sent all over the mining world, and wherever the
sound OF miner pick is heard to rcyerberate
through the dark caverns of the earth there you
will find Cornishman. CAPTAIN FAULL,
