FOrty.twO Men killed-Heartrending
Scenes.
Halifax, l3. This community was startled
tonight by the intelligence that a terrible ex-
plosion had occurred in the Drummond col
iery, Pictou county, at / o'clock to-day.
Manager Dunn, assistant manager Richard
son and forty of the workmen were in the pit
when the explosion occurred. The greatest
excitement prevailed above ground after the
fearful occurrence and crowds of people for
miles around came rushing to the scene Of
the disaster. Then occurred one of those
heartrending scenes, which is described by a
witness as something narrowing beyond all
conception, the recollection of which will
never fade from the memory. Mothers,
wives, sisters, children and friends crowded
around the burning pit, mourning pitifully
the terrible fate of those below, their heart
rending cries being heard for long distance
Every effort has been and is being made to
rescue the men, but so far without success.
and it is feared they have all persisted. The
fire up to this time g o'clock is still raging.
although every endeavor is being made to
put it out. Assistance from Pictou and New
Glasgow. where great excitement prevails, is
at hand, and strenuous efforts are being made
to subdue the confagration. This city is
also much excited over the terrible news of
the calamity.

N. B.
DEAR SIR; Having used your chemical
preparation Of Hypophosphites, which was
recommended to me by Mr.. Blagdon, Apoth-
ecary of Rockland, I am truly surprised with
its wonderful effects, because for several
years my health has been declining, notwith-
standing every means possible, which offered
encouragement, was used by me. Several
alarming symptoms appeared. amongst which
were dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, i'm
poverished blood, and great prostration.
Since January, when began the use of your
Syrup, my health has steadily and amazingly
improved, SO that now it gives me great
pleasure to recommend it to others, and in
this way to show my gratitude for return of
health. To all who require remedy for de-
blity, would say they will find your Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites just what
you say it is l believe it is the best prepsr-
alton in use. am, sir, &C.,
