Special Correspondence to the Herald.
A trip through the township of
Wyalusing last week gave US better
insight as the crop prospect, which is
much better than first thought. Oats
will be a fair crop; peas and barley
being farther advanced were hurt by
the storm the worst; fruit es oecially
apples in some orchards, surely got
very black eye; the hay crop is simply
immense. as a general thing two crops
will be lifted from the same ground,
this will help the upland farmers;
hay in the bottoms is almost a
total loss this year owing to the con-
tinued high stage of water; corn
generally looks small but is growing
rapidly and has healthy color. The
talk of dangerous wild animals out
in the woods is mostly the creature OF
a distorted imagination; a lynx may
be at large but mountain lion is an
absurdity. In the historic town Of
Wyalusing, we looked out over the
broad Mississippi and our mind went
back 80 years or more when a mere
lad we went up to ct. Paul on large
steam boat; the city was a small
affair then and the snort of the iron
horse, up each side of the river was
not even thought of. @. E. Boil runs
the Brodtville creamery and to the
entire satisfaction of the patrons,
which now number lis; one of the
best one day run Of cream was July

going into this business more and
more each year.

Porthood, NJ S., Feb. S.-Ten coal
miners employed in the pit OF the
Porthood mines in this town were
killed by an explosion Friday. All Of
the bodies have been recovered.
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been determined but there. . is
ground for the belief that a charge of
powder might have become ignited.
The explosion occurred about half
an hour after the mon had begun work
for the day.
Mines were Inspected.
Previously, as usual, the mine had
been inspected, and the lower level
as we'll as other parts of the mine had
been found free from gas or fire-damp.
The volunteer crews had no Difficult.
ty in entering the damaged level, as
no after-damp was discovered. and
there was little difficulty in locating
the bodies of the victims.
As all who were working in the
section were killed, no knowledge Of
the circumstances preceding the acci-
dent could be ascertained. The res
cuers believe, however. that their as.
sociates met death by suffocation.
Business Closes Down.
Nothing like this fatality has ever
before occurred at the mines here,
and the people were stunned. The
schools were closed and business was
practically suspended as soon as word
reached the town.
The mine is owned by the Porthood,
Richmond Railway Coal Company.
The directors are Montreal, Quebec
and Halifax men. The company Is
