The London correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial sGysi
On Sunday last a very large crowd
larger perhaps than usual-assembled
in Mr.. Surgeons tabernacle, thinking,
perhaps, that he might improve the oc-
caaon to make some remarks concern
ing the red flag Of ritaalisn, which has
50 long enraged him. he preserved,
however, a dignifed silence. It is evi-
dent that Spurgeon has lost much Of the
physical vigor which he once had. he
leans oftener and more heavily on his
desk, his manner is more hesitating-his
voice more low and Conversational In
creasing weakness has not however,
touched any fiber Of bis intellectual
force; and indeed to a severe taste
bis lower tone and mere solemn
manner are an improvement on his
former style. He still holds the crowd
as no man in London has held

il in recent times, and as n
natural consequence he is overworked.
On Sunday last he bad among his hear
ers the Negro Jubilee Chorus, from
America, who sang some Of their hymns
to him in his ante-room, after the SER
mon. A crowd Of visitors, some from
America, came to shake hands with him,
and he greeted them cordially, remark
ing that he regretted that he had so lit
tie time TO talk to them, but hoped they
would have plenty Of time in heaven. A
rather odd incident: Just before the SER
vices two distinguished Amerioans-one
a former official aud intimate friend Of
the late Daniel Webster, had been shown
into pew. Presently the pew opener
came and requested that they would
take seat just behind, as "a distin-
guished gentleman and lady had TO be
placed 10 pew they occupied" b" The
twe Americans at once complied, and
beheld the gentleman and lady escorted
to the vacated seats-both black as the
ace Of spades.
Mr.. Spurgeon is credited with the fol-
lowing, which, il not true, is ben trov-
ato. He is said to have been taken to
task by some Sabbatarian since he has
found it necessary to employ brougham
to take him TO church:
but" he urged, II only sit still in
the carriage-I don't work.
"Ah, yes, sir, said the other, but
your coachman--think of himl"
"0h. he is Jew, aud keeps the sew
enth day Sabbath" "
But your horse2"
"0h," said Spurgeon, getting a little
impatient, he is Jew, tool
This reminds me Of another little
st'ry going the rounds, concerning one
of our Broad Church clergymen, who,
being recently on an excursion in Scot
land, was vehemently rebuked by his
landlady for taking a walk on Sunday
afternoon. The clergyman said that he
could not see the harm, and said:
"You know that we read that our

Another Nine Horror.

Porrsv1LLB, June 1e.-An accident
occurred at the Henry Clay colliery, a
Sbamokei, Pa. this afternoon, which
was caused by a keg Of powder cate hing
fire from unknown cause. The fire
ignited the sulphur in slope in which
there were about twenty miners. Jno
Hagers, the ontside boss, and Poland.
er were smothered to death while trying
to rescue their unfortunate companions.
Up to 3 P. NJ, all the miners had been
taken out with the exception ol
six. 1t is impossible to tell the num-
Der of the dead as yet. The excitement
is terrible, and the scene arou nd the
colliery beggars description. On &C
count of the danger OF after damp the
work OF trying to get the men out was
slow. This causes agitation and great
suspense to the crowd which is gather
ed around, as no one knows how soon a
father, son or brother may be brought
up corpse.
LATER.
Up to 7:30 o clock Tonight thirteen
of the miners have been brought out;
eight of them are dead. Two more
miners still remain in the mine. At
the time of the accident the inside boss
was exploring the old works when he
set fire to the gas thus causing the ex-
plosion. His body has not yet been
found.
