Twenty-Eight Men Killed in Mine

A terrible colliery explosion occurred on
Thursday in the great coal mine at LEVIN,
in Pas-le- Calais, France. At the time of the
calamity there were, fortunately, but forty
eight men in the mine. All of these were EN-.
tombed. Twenty eight dead bodies have so
far been brought up from the mine. An ex.
plosion of fre-damp caused eight hundred
metres of the galleries to fall. The twenty
eight men who were killed mainly lost their
lives by this debris falling on them.

Excuse the ALTERATION, but since Railway
three Rs, and Burchard's three Rs, the
tendency that way seems normal. Rumor
has it that Westminster is to be blest with two
skating Kinks, one in Odd Fellows Hall, and
another in future, to be erected in some pro-
per and convenient part of the city. So we
shall have fun alive, the whole cityo rollers,
in iiffey. Everything else is to give place
to this new pastime, the parlor tete a tete, the
card party and the social evening colloquy on
the goods boxes of the nearest store. The
tobacco store, the restaurant, the lodge. the
firemens hall, will all be deserted for the
rafting, rollicking, rauti- pole rink More al
iteration
A Baltimore contemporary, the Ne,os, says:
The growth of roller skating is something
astonishing. The sport has beenin existence
for years. but it is only within the last few
months that it has reached the proportions of
a craze. At the present moment it is not ex-
aggeration to say that the people are on wheels
all over the country. The Kinks throughout
the land are estimated to number three thous-
and, and the amount of capital invested about
twenty millions, with as much more in the
skates and other implements. Thousands
flock to the Kinks night after night and glide
over the floors and throw one another down.
With some it is enough to be in such throng,
or to stand apart and observe it. The grace
full and the awkward are worth contrastina
A star performer is as interesting to watch as
clever acrobat, and the mishaps of the tyro
are as comical as the pranks of good come
dian. There is nothing funnier than to see a
friend go down and get smart whack on the
back of the head. Or, if the investigations
partake of practical and personal character,
the experimentalist viii probably have album
dant opportunity to study astronomy and take
note of the great variety of stars often brought
violently before his field of vision.
