THE MODOO WAR.

CAMP SOUTH OF TULE LAKE, LAVA

trenched in a crater butte, or a mass Of
lava approximating the same, little south
east of camp, distance of 10 to Is miles.

ing distance of the enemy with force OF

Col. Mason, who yesterday A. NJ. started
from Jacks old stronghold with force OF

Il is intended the two commands shall
amalgsmste under Col. Mason, hold the

is known to q few only in camp and has
not vet created any excitement.

THE HALIFAX HORROR.
The Burning Mine Nearly Extin-
guiShed.

guished.
WEsTVILLE, n. s., May 16.-The shaft
at Drummood mine was sounded this A. NJ,
and the indicati rs were that the water was
rising rapidly. 1t is the intention to cover
the shaft with timber and plaBkiDg, on
which earth and other material will be
placed TO exclude the air and still preserve
the shaft, so that as soon as the fire is ex-
tingushed it may be utizad for the purpose
of pumping out the water from the mire.
This morniBg there was scarcely any
smoke coming from the shaft but the pres
ence of black damp was very perceptiole.
The fact is considered by old miners as very
favorable, as it indicates that the fire is rap
idly decreasing, and all danger of more ex-
plosions is over. 1t is thought that after all
the shafts are filed there will be sufficient
quantity Of carbonic aeid gas in the mine
to effec;ually put out the fire.
Deep stiffness prevails in and around the
neighborhood. Nearly all the stores of
Westvile are closed. The miners at the
other works have not yes resumed work.
1t is doubtful if anything in the way of
mining will be done before Monday. The
President and Vice President of the com
pany were on the ground to-day, but moth
ing has yet trAnspired as to their intention
in regard to future operations. There are
no new names to be added to the death
list

TOUCHING INCIDENT.
From the Oovington (Ky.) Journa /.


A short time since in this city, brian,
and much admired lady, who had ben snf:
ering for some time with tror5le Of tho
eyes, was led to fear a speedy change for
the worse, and immediately consulted her
physician. An examination discovered a
sudden and fatal failing IN the optic nerve.
and the information was impaired as gen.
tly as possible, that the patient could not
retain her sight more than q few days at
most, and was liable to be totally deprived
of il at any moment. The afflicted mother
returned to her home, quietly mada sncb
arrangements as would occur to o. shont
to commence so dark q journe-, of lie and
then had her two little rt..ldren, attired in
thelr orlgheest a. .a sweetest costumes,
ulopSns S, pare her; and 80, with their little
'''00A .ated to hers, AMI tears gathering for
some great misfortune that they hardly
realized, the light faded out of the mothers
eyes, leaving an ineffsceable picture OF those
desrest TO her on esrlh-a memory of bright
faces that will console her in many dark
hour.
