SrELLARroS, n. s., Nov. l2.-About
$50 o'clock this morning an explosion
Of gas occurred on the south side of the
Ford Pit. All the miners were at work
in different parts OF the mine. The
explosion was so terrible as to sweep
quite across to the other side of the
pit, killing the men aud horses within
reach. As far as known forty.seven
men and boys were in the pit and are
supposed to be lost. Thirty.three OF
these were married men. some with
large families. Searching parties can
not get in very far on account OF mass
es of coal blocking up the way in all
directions. Messrs. J. Hudson, of the
Albion mines; Greene, of the Vale,
and II. :. Poole, of the Acadia, went
down the pit this morning. One body
was recovered and two were seen by
explorers. Several dead horses were
found. None of the miners on the
north side were injured, and quite a
number Of them were surprised at the
crowds around the mouth of the pit
when they came up for dinner. not
having any idea that such a terrible fate
had befallen their fellow. workmen.

WHAT A Com DD.-A coin Is in itself a history.
There was once a lost city which owes it's place to
a coin. For over a thousand years no one knew
where Pandosia was. History told us that at
Pandosia, King Pyrrhus collected those forces
lished a mint there; but no one could put their
finger ON Pandoeia. Eight years ago a coin came
under the sharp eyes of a numismatist. There
were the letters Psndosia inscribed on it, but
what was better there was an emblem, Indicative
of a well known river, the Crathis. Then every
thing was revealed with the same certainty as il
the piece of money had been an atlas, and Pan
dosia, the mythical city, was at once given its
proper position in Bruttium. Now. a coin may
be valuable for artistic merit, bat when it eluci-
dates a doubtful point in history or geography its
worth is very much enhanced. This silver coin,
which did not weigh more than a quarter of a
dollar, because it cleared up the mystery of Pan
dOsia. was worth to the British Museum 81 900,
the price they paid for it.
