sEvEN MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY DURNKD TO
DiArH-rnE ORIGIN OF TAk kIRk UkAC-
CoUNTABLE.
A terrible casualty occurred near Grisfield
on Tuesday night which involved the death
building. They were all members OF one
family, and i've were children. The ac-
counts OF the affair which have reached
this city are noe very full. We give theM
as far M We have been able to gather them:
The disaster occurred at the residence OF
farmer named stant, who resided in Ac.
comac county, Va, on Chesauessex creek,
some eight or ten miles from Crisheld Mr..
Slant aud his wife had gone To church in
the evening, taking with them five
OF their children Five other children
were left vt home in charge of Mr.. Tesck.e
Evans, father-lu-law OF MIR. Slant, and
young hired man. During their absence
the dwelling took fire in some manner hot
yet explained aud WAS entirely Consumed,
all it's inmates being burned TO death.
Their bodies have since been recovered
from among the debris, aud all have b. on
recognized. 1t is supposed that 4 lamp
exploded, scattering the burning oil over
tho clothing OF the inmates Of the house,
VINO were 81 speedily snveloped i'll flame
and overcome that they could not reach the
yard.
A most singular circumstance in counec.
tiou with the affair WAS the failure Of the
nelsabors to discover the flames, although
.is locality is thicKly settled. The illnm:-
alton WAS plsiiiiy visible 81 Crisfeld, aud
when the intelligence OF the real source,
with ltr accompanying horrors, reached that
town the people was much affected by i,.
Mr.. Slant is well known there rs AL honest
aud upright gentleman, who was oomfoltA.
bly, settled in life.

la,re p,,u,us os Coal

Tho Philadelphia Bulletin says The
Kittanning Coal Company, OF this city, have
now on the Centennial grounds, resdyjto be
placed in position, the largest specsmsa OF
bitumnous coal ever taken from the mines.
There are two blocks, both taken from the
srankliu Colisry, in Cleartied county. The
smaller OF these blocks weighs little over
two and one-fourth tons, and the larger
will balance at about five tous. These I'M
msnse masses OF coal have been taken out
the frl! height OF the measure, and one
can scarcely conceive the immense amount
OF labor and ingenuity required to place
them upon the cars ready for transmission.
H. was found imprscticsble to get the larger
lump out Oh the truck, and it became
necessary to improvise flat boat by which
1t could be dragged over the rails. The
mass having been first strongly secured
with IRON bands aid strong oak
plank WAS gradually worked upon
tho boat or fiat, and Six heavy mules at
tachad, Their uniLed force was, however,
unable to move the immense weigh lat, and at
last block and tackle was procured, by
which the coal was gradually drawn ont
from the mine. James Il. Cameron, Esq
the Superintendent, with his corps OF as
sistants. deserve praise for the complete
success which has thus far crowned their
efforts. Many thousand eyes will gaze up
on these specimens in admiration, without
the most remote idea Of the Immense
amount of labor required to remove them
from their subtorranean bed, but we have
no doubt that they will be the means OF
proving the beauty aud superiority Of our
coal deposits.
Geo. W. Bush 4 Son are agents for the
kittanning ctal, in this city.

The schuylki.l (Ps.) Republican,, of the
18Th inst, says that Samuel Hsuse was, or
Is, man of about forty years Of age, un-
married, and machinlst. On Saturday, 1st
inst, he was over in Deep Creek Valley
putting up ali engine. In the forenoon he
felt unweil, complaining of a pain in the
head. Arising from his seat behind the
stove he started to walk out and suddenly fell
down and was picked up apparently dead.
PhysiclaDs were summoned, an OK Illumination
made, and he WAS pronounced dead. Pre-
laratlons were made for the funersl-in the
meautime some OF the physicians who sx
OF suspended aIinistion. Nevertheless wise
counsel insisted that life was exstinct and
the funeral preparations went OH. On the
following Wednesday the funefal ceremo-
MES took place. The doubt in tie case
caused hi uuu-ullly large number of atten-
dants upon the -olemu occasion. After the
ceremonies at the church were over, some
OF the physicians aud friends protested
against the intelment, as there was lit
tie VI no discoloration III the "corp3e,"
while All indentatiou of the flesh by tile ap.
plieation of a finger caused = change OF
color, which was considered sure indci-
ton Of life. Tho body WAS carried home
snd placed in q warm rsom, bat tile dead
did not arise, neither were there any sigus
Of modification or d,sasreeable odor about
the corpse. However. oil Salurd ~, the Sah,
one week from the supposed death, the body
was deposited iu the grave hut was not COW
cred with earth-there still being DISPOSE
ton to give the dead man chance, in case
he should return to life. Our last informa
ton was on Thursday, of the present week,
at which time the grave was still left open,
aud there were many who yet believed that
H4u5e WAS not dead, but in = trance. 1t il
reported OF the man that he upon for
mer OCCASION. several years sine, lay III u
trance Ghree days, and again returned to his
former self. II is also raid that he had fre-
qnently remarked that when he died he
would return to life iu two weeks.
