six Men Killed I'm Mine Accident.

HALIFAX, n, s, May l.
A terrible accident happened in the Vale
colliery, New Glasgow, yesterday morning,
by which six miners were killed outright,
three miners probably fatally injured, and
twoor three more or less hurt, but not Sc
riOusly. The workmen were coming to the
surface from below when. the rope attached
to the brake suddenly broke. and the box
running down the slope with fearful veloc-
citS, struck the bottom with terrible force.
Following are the names of the killed: J,
Z ellis, Colin Campbell. A. Frazer, w allace
McGilliveray, ]. McEachern, William Har-
man.
The following are not expected to recover:
a. Mcleod, Richard Taylor, boy named
John Nicholson. ga 80
a boy named c. Irving and a man named
Malcolm Beaton, who were also in the box
will likely recover from their injuries. The
particulars given OF the terrible accident are
OF the most CHASTITY character. The men on
the surface at the mouth of the slope were

ful and helpless position to which those who
had been coming npin the box we're suddenly
placed, and for amoment stood spellbound,
Nothing, however, they could now do would
save the death-doomed miners. For brief
second of, time they could hear the car rush-
ing down. In momeats the sound of the
crash at the bottom was heard, and
they knew that some at least of
the men making their way up
had met sudden, and awful death.
AS soon as possible communication was had
with below, and the news was sent above
that six OF the occupants Of the car had been
dashed to pieces at the foot Of the slope, and
their mangied remains, bathed IN blood, lay
IN heap. On top of these were three
others, two men, Mcleod and Taylor, and a
boy, Nicholson, who, on examination, were
found to be terribly injured, but not dead.

A Money-Making Memory.

George Harding, Esq, the distin

remarkable for retentive memory
On Saturday Mr.. Harding rode dow
to Wall street, New York in a Broad
way omnibus. "A beautiful yonpgl lad

The driver made the change anC

/" Can it be possible that this is one o.

seven out of twenty-six on the ground
were blazing. The tracks of the
Pennsylvania railroad also caught fire,
and the bay was sheet OF flaming oil; the

Close Planting.

The Farming World says: Every
farmer must know that To produce the
heaviest possible crop certain number
of stalks must be upon the ground. ID
is often observed that the great sim II
American agriculture is too thin SOW
ing" The first proposition we will adj
nit is really true, "that a certain num-
her of stalks must be upon the ground"
But the question is What number is
that? We do not think that as rule
the husbandmcn of the United States
SOW too little seed. The amount of
seed required to insure good crop
varies and cannot be determined, for SO
much depends upon the season. In n
cool, backward season grain will stool
much more than in "a warm, forward
one. and old, long cropped land requires
more seed than rich. new land. If grain
is sown too thickly the straw will lbs
fine and the heads short, two of which
will not yield as much as one good large
head that has bad ample room TO grow
in. Our opinion is that as n general
thing the crops are too closely planted
in this country. With the exception Of
grass. we believe in light seeding.
However, grass should be sown thickiy,
so that when it. comes up il win cover
the ground well and prevent the growth
of weeds. The same authority. s9ys
that in England they sow. lfeIIs
and five and sometimes six bushels
of oats to the acre; in this country
not moreif than Z n bushel orr a
bushel and q half. This il mistake,
as the rule is 10 SOW from two to three
bushels of oats and from five pecks to
two bushels of wheat to bic acre. HenP
in England they yield three or -four
times asheavy as in this country. Egg
land does grow large crops of;6ats but
we donot think the same seed upon the
same soil in this country would produce
more if four bushels-werc sown to the
acre than if two and half bushelswere
sown. 1t has long been mooted Gues-
ton with farmers what amount of seed
to SOW, and with various soils and
seasons n great variety of results
have been obtained and very diff
ferent CONCLUSIONS have been arrived at.
There is really more difference il seq
