hontas, Va, Over the Entombed Miners
Unabated-Probabilityt that the Mine Will
soon be Open-A Bellies Plea for the Body
of Her Father.
PoCAHoNTAs, VA, March "a.
The excitement which existed Friday
night, when the Indignation meeting was
held to endeavor to compel the owners Of
the exploded, mine to reopen the same and
recover the Bodies of the 1852 entombed
miners, has subsidized in measure, and it
is likely no desperate means will be en-
ployed by the residents to force
compliance with their wishes.
AS it was announced that
the Rev. Charles Ashley, pastor
of Union Church, would deliver an adj
dress to-day upon the condition of affairs,
the little chapel was thronged with rela-
tives and friends of the unfortunate
miners. Owing to the size of the build
ing fully 500 people, who were unable to
effect an entrance, had to be content to
listen to the discourse through the win
dows.
MODERATE COUNSEL.
Mr.. Ashley said he was sorry to see the
violent sentiment that existed, and hoped
no steps would be taken by any of the
relatives or friends of the dead miners to
recover the bodies against the wishes of
the mine-owners, who, he felt sure had
acted wisely in sealing up the mine, as it
was impossible to effect an entrance. He
remarked that he was also sorry to hear
that among the large assemDlage on Fri
day no white man arose to advise
that discretion be used, and that it
was colored man who told them what
they should do as sensible men. "Stand-
ing here with more than hundred bodies
of your friends and relatives under my
feet do not hesitate to say you have
been unwise," remarked the minister.
"You must be patient and do nothing to
| bring discredit upon yourselves or. your
dead friends" The address was listened
to with marked attention, and had good
effect fora time.
SECRET MEETING.
After the church was closed a large
party of men assembled at the main en-
trance to the mine and long consulta-
tion was held. Only those who were
known to each other were permitted to
take part in the discussion. The
result of their deliberations was not
made public. Some think plan
of action to try to enter the
mine was agreed upon. Superintend-
ent Lathrop was seen to-day and he
said the opinion of the expert miners en-
ployed by the company is, that the fire in
the mine is being gradually eXtinguiShed,
and it is likely an entrance may be effected
tomorrow. This information vas re-
ceived with shout, and it Is likely nc
steps viii be taken by the friends of the
dead miners until after Tuesday.
AwoMANss TAUNT.
The women are not so easily quieted as
many might suppose. A large number
have husbands, brothers or sweethearts
among the victims, and an evidence OF
the taunts and pleadings to which the
men are subject was given to-day,
when young girl, named Mollie Nor
ris, the belle of the village, jumped upon
a barrel and, in the hearing of two dozen
men, announced her willingness and
promised soemnly to marry the man
who recovered the body of her father,
who was one of the victims. The appeal
met with no response, and, with the re-
mark; "No, you are all cowardS!" Mol
lie rejoined the other women.

More Of the ..Buzzard Boys"

II seems there are six outlaw brothers
named Buzzard, all of whom at differ ent
times have been in prison. Two OF the
number are in the Lancaster County, (Pa.)
Jail at the present time. Abe is at the
head of the band, and is being sought for
by the officers of justice, whom he some
how or other manages to elude, although a
newspaper reporter visited his hut ON
Welsh mountains, and found him at home,
and had an interview with him, in which
he ventured upon a defense OF his onduct

Battlefield HumOr

Many humorous incidents occurred on
battlefields in the war. A Confederate
Colonel ran ahead of his regiment at NAL
vern Hill, and discovering that the men
were not following him as closely as he
wished, he uttered q fierce oath, and ex-
claimed:
Come onl Do you want to live for
eyer?"
The appeal was irresistible, and many Q
poor fellow who had laughed at the Colo
nel's queer exhortation laid down his life
soon after.
A shell struck the wheel OF a Federal
feld-piece toward the close of the engage
ment at Fair Oaks, and shivering the
spokes, dismantled the cannon.
"Well, isn't it lucky it didn't happen
before re used up all our ammunition, 4"
remarked one OF the artillerists, as he
crawled from beneath the gun.
When Gen. Pope was falling back be-
fore Lees advance in the Virginia valley,
his own soldiers thought his bulletins and
or ders somewhat strained in their-hetoric.
At one of the numerous running engage
ments that marked that disastrous cam
paign, a private in one Of the Western
regiments was MORALLY wounded by a
shell. Seeing the mans condition, a chap
lain knelt beside him; and opening his
Bible at random, read out Samson's
slaughter of the Philistines with the jaw
bone Of an ass. He had not quite fin
ished, when, as the story goes, the poor
fellow interrupted the reading by saying:
"Hold on, chaplain. Don't deceive q
dying man. Isn't the name of John Pope
signed to that !"

Bears killing Cattle.

1t appears by the following from the
Times Review that bears are numerous as
well as blood thirsty in the northeastern
part of Elko county. That paper says:
"Last week at Sunfiower Flat, near
Mountain City, q couple more cattle be-
longing to the Murphy estate were killed
by bears. The animals slain were 3 2-year-
old bull and a cow, and as the ground was
badly torn where the carcasses were found,
it is evident that they made a desperate
fight before succumbing to their ursine
enemies. None of the flesh was eaten, and
it appeared as though the bears were &C.
tuated by pure ~cussedness, rather than
hunger, in their murderous attack. About
80 head of cattle have been killed in that
vicinity this season by bears, while six Of
the latter have fallen by the bullets Of
ayenging vanqueros"
