DEATH IN THE Coal MINEs.-The statistics
furnished by the Pennsylvania mine inspec-
tors in the anthracite region, are almost com
plete for the year 1871 The death record in
these statistics is startling, and show total of
272 men killed outright, and 622 njured by ac-
cidents during the year. These unfortunate
men left on a close estimate, 220 widows and
between 900 and eco orphan children. The
Scranton (Pa.) Republican makes an estimate
of the nature of the accidents. and believes it
can place the responsibility where it belongs.
About one third of the killed, it says, met their
death on account of the neglect of operators to
make second openings to their mines. Anoth-
err third were killed by the explosion Of gases,
which would have been averted if the law re-
curing every mine,to be examined by an ex-
perienced miner With safety lamp before the
workmen enter it. had been complied with
About one sixth lost their lives through their
mere negligence in not paying sufficient atten
ton to the roof of mines and otherwise, while
the remaining one sixth of the whole number
were killed by really unforeseen and unavoidable
accidents.

A COMPLICATED LAND CASE. The owners Of
lard around the shores of Beaver Lake, in
Indiana, went TO work some time ago and dug
ditch which drained all the water from the
lake, and converted its former bed into excellent
meadow land. A question as to the ownership
of this land has now arisen. The State claims
il on the ground that she formerly owned the
land around the lake, under the grant from the
United States of swamp lands tor school pur-
;oses The men who dug the ditch maintain
that under the riparian laws they have the right
to extend the boundaries OF their lands to the
middle of the bed of the lake. One OF the claim
ants became defaulter to the State, and in set
Ting bis accounts assigned to il his right 10 the
recovered land. A third class of claims has
arisen. Certain persons maintaining that the
disputed territory reclaimed from the lake is
public land of the United States have squatted
upon it, under the Presumption laws After va
rious conflicting decisions Of the Indiana courts
those interested have come to Congress for legis-
lation. The matter has been referred to the
Public Lands Committee, before which ex Sena-
