EJ Peter. Curley, who is now in the Washington county jail at Montpelier, Vt., as the supposed leader of the Barre Bank robbers, is said to be one of the most bril- liant criminals on record. He is of fine appearance, gentlemanly Tn demeanor, well educated and fine musician, especially on the piano. He has ar rassed several hun dred thousand dollars in the burglary busi- ness by planning his own exploits and fur nishing his paid men with the best outfits and has always bought himself off when ever caught; but it looks now as though he had reached the end of his rope. from the queer reason that be failed to get any thing from the bank, and thus has nothing to restore or use as the basis of compro mise, according to his usual habit. Hi. first arrest was for. a robbery in West Troy when he took $40, ,0O0 in cash and govern ment bonds from safe in the Roy shaw factory. He was not punished, however and the facility with which he got out o that difficulty has since been repeated of ten. He is supposed to have been the lead CT in eleven bank robbt ries.

The entertainment at the hall took place on Friday evening as appointed. The night being decidedly damp, the audience was very small, only about sixty being present. MT. Bishops selections were well chosen, and all appreciated his reading. The 'Mistletoe Rough and 'Zekle's Court in were both acted in pantomime, while the former was sung behind the scenes and the latter read by MT. Bishop. Those of our young people who spent Thanksgiving evening at the residence of MT.

EDITOR NEWS: It being some time since you have heard from us up among the mountains, thought short letter might be acceptable. We as community are sorely afflicted. Malignant diptheria pre- vais to an alarming extent; very few cases recover; whole families of children are swept off. So great is the mortality, and so general the epidemic, that the dead are buried as soon as possible after death-al- most before animal heat is extinct. No re. ligious services are held, and every possi- ble precaution is taken to prevent the spread of the disease. To add to our suf- fering, winter has set in early. Good sleigh ing November 1st, and several snow storms since. Snow in the woods is reported two and half feet deep. Lakes and mill ponds are frozen oyer with eight inches of ice. People in the adjoining town of Scarsburg are about to fill their ice houses. Saw logs ponds on the ice the twentieth of last May and snow banks had not all disappeared the same date in June. We have but about four months pasture for COWS during the year. Lumbering, which is the principa business, is now stagnant, and dearth ot labor prevails, with general scarcity o of money as consequence. Much suffer ing must be endured before the opening o next spring. A few years ago this village was one of the most thrifty among the Green Mountains-the chair and bedstea( factories, the lumber mills and the charcoa works were in full operation, creating great demand for labor and disbursing large amount of money; everybody wa happy; plenty of work, high wages and al necessary wants were supplied. Now all i changed but we do not despair ous times are yet in store for us, and tha thought buoys us up. Accept our apolog! for this intrusion upon your time.
 Yours truly, CARBON.

Wyoming Valley Cnving Hn.
COAL NINRs DESTROYED.

The most extensive and serious mining casualty ever known in the Wyoming val ley occurred last Sunday (2sth) and is still progressing at the Chauncey and Grand Tunnel mines, Plymouth and Nanticoke, about 1-2 miles south of the former place. About two weeks ago MT. Roberts, one of the propretors of the Chauncey mines, no' ticed that the roof of the opening was working in most extraordinary manner, indicating that inside operations were at tended with considerable danger to those digging coal in the different chambers or employed in the various gangways. He watched the phenomenon with the greatest interest. and was finally convinced that the mine was doomed to certain calamity. About II 8. m. on the 18th inst, le gave orders for the men to leave the mine as soon as possible, and to remove as much of the companY's property as could be taken out on the spur of the moment. The mi- ners, to the number of l25, left work at 12, taking with them their implements, and two hours later the mine caved in, Had it not been for the caution and foresight of Roberts, most fearful loss of fife would have occurred, as the whole number of miners would have been entombed by about forty acres of rock which crushed down and filled up the honeycombed opening beneath. ..- ..... ...-..-.
 The disaster extended to the Grand Tun- nel mine adjoining. The cave-in seemed to drag over the roof in a southerly direc- tion until stopped by huge wall of rock known to mining engineers as raised up be- tween the Grand Tunnel and an adjacent mine operated by the Susquehanna mining company. In the Grand Tunnel some SC or 70 acres of rock were buried, effectually closing operations for months to come The whole fall embraces over 100 acres, ,anG the damage to the mines is estimated al over $l00,000. Several hundred miners have been thrown out of employment just at time when it is most essentially i'm portant for them to be at work. .@s
 The effects of the cave-in were tr uly ter rife. Huge boulders were thrown out o the mouth of the tunnel by the com pressed air as if they had been pebbles, and tn, shock of the crash was like that of al earthquake. The working of the roof pre- yious to the disaster is represented as awe inspiring to an eminent degree. The noun tain seemed to be in travail, and the rock. groaned and writhed as if in throes of in tense agony. The hollow chambers re echoed the dismal sounds, and tue scene was one calculated to intimidate the hear of the hardest miner in the Iand The dis solution of the mountain appears to be stil going on, and there is no predicting how much more desolation is to ensue in tha quarter. The Chauncey mine is operated by Albrightson, Roberts & Co.,, and tb, Grand Tunnel is under the control of tn, Susquehanna Coal Co. One or two caving in of mines have taken place in other part of the valley the past two weeks, and from peculiar coincidences in the matter the idle, is gaining strength that these casualties art the result of slight earthquake whicl passed through the valley in northeasterly and southwesterly direction.
