gagged in blacksmithing in the Monitor
Company's shop at the mine. Mr.. War
ner had just completed the filing of a
door hasp and.started from the wise bench
in the direction OF the forge, when shot
from the Argus Company's mine was
fired without perceptible warning.
About 80 pounds OF rock struck the door

ern side, carrying the casing with it and
striking Warner in the back and left
shoulder, breaking the shoulder blade be-
sides crushing his skull in so frightful a
manner as to destroy the tympanum of
the left ear, which has, since the acct

he had got up and was standing by the
wise bench in bewildered state of mind

took its flight to the Great Unknown
Land, from whence none return Mr..
Mcmahon had been suffering for long
time with liver complaint, and all That
friends could do was done, but the time
for him to bid farewell to all upon earth
had arrived. and he quietly passed away
at the time stated. He was an old resi-

esteemed by his large circle of friends

during Christmas he would always look
after the little children of Bullionvile,

STARTED UP.-The furnace at Bristol
started up on Tuesday. The first three
days were devoted to making granula.
tions. There were 1900 tons of ore on
the dump and the coal.bns all filled
The boiler leaked little at first, but
this was all repaired, and at last reports
the furnace was running smoothly. 1t is
to be hoped that six-months' run will
be made. The new hue arrester has, be
yond doubt, proven success, and re
fleets great credit on ]. Fisenmann, who
made it. Mr.. Grim's last invention
like his former ones, has proven a sue

any, of the dust escaping up the flue.

WE think it very appropriate to cal
the attention of our readers to the follow
ing poem, now that the cold days ar
here:
A BAPTISM In hades' depth
As hot as boiling tar
Awaits the man who quits room
And leaves ths door a. ar.
And he who softly shuts the door
Shall dwell among the blest,
Where the wicked cease from troubling
Aud the weary are ut rest
The old Mendha mine is surprisin
even the natives. The ore in the we.
drift, in virgin ground, is developing int
large body. 1t is eight feet in widtl
according to last accounts, and tho'
who have seen it speak in glowing tern
Of the prospects. The ore is high grad
OWING to the great storm, the Fe
warding Company at the terminus tel
graphed to J. v. Kelley, their agent
Phoebe, that there would be no mo-
freight shipped for the present, as tt
roads were impossible. All freight f
Phoebe has been stored.
