A Scotch paper, the Haddington


Courier, has an extraordinary story
of the escape of miner who fell


down the shaft of coal pit, near


Trenent. An old shaft was made
use of to open up communication


with new pit recently sunk. About
half way down the shaft, which was
two hundred and seventy-six feet
deep, wooden staging, composed
Of strong two inch planks, was built,
comparatively intersecting the down
shaft, to afford firm footing to the
miners enteIng the side shaft At
the bottom of the down shaft was a
considerable accumulation Of water,
as is usual in pits which have not
been worked for some time. On the
occasion in question, young man
named Lyme, rather than wait for
the comparatively tedious process of
being lowered down by the windlass,
said he would slide down the rope
Disregarding the advice Of his COM
panions, he got upon the rope, and
they were in another moment horri-
fed to see that he haa lost hold
of it.


q The crash of his body against the
wooden staging was heard, and they
were making preparations to de-
scend for the mangled remains, when
a cry for assistance was heard com
ing up from the bottom of the pit -
The rapidity of the descent OF ITO
feet had propelled him through the
two-inch boards as neatly as if his
body had been a rifle bullet and with
about as little injury, for not bone
was broken, and except a small
scratch on his chin, his person did
not bear the slightest mark OF COM
ing ir entact with anything during
the d IT. Falling into the water
at tn, gn, he had, on comiag to
the providentially thrown
his ar r some wooden frame
work .ch happened to be there,
and lad thus been saved. The man
was found here and conveyed home
quite conscious, and under medical
care was soon able to get out of
doors.


The story has certainly the ap-
pearance of fable, yet if it is pos
sible to shoot a candle through an
inch board, why cannot man be
shot through two-inch plank2 The
narrative is at least amusing, and
anybody who chooses can have the
liberty Of doubling that it is well
authenticated.

MARnIAGE.-The editors of the N.
Y. Evening Gazette have been asked
by some of their young lady readers
if they believe with the Apostle Paul
that it is best not to marry. To this
query they reply as follows: The
fact that the givers of this advice are
bachelors does not, we suppose, mill
tate against its soundness.


Yes and no, dear girls. That de-
pends upon circumstances. A hus-
band is like a blacksmith's largest
hammer, in being a very handy and
useful article to have about, if you
need it and can manage it, and very
useless and naalapropos of you don't
and can't Speaking chemically,
marriage is mixing the oil and water
of opposing lasts, unless the alkali of
genuine love be added, in which
case you have soap and smoothness
and glide throuh life easily. Or we
may vary the expression little, and
may say that love is solvent which
unites. 1t is indispensable, it is de-
lightful, it is powerful, but the troub-
lie is, that great many people are
fatally apt to mistake weak solu-
ton of sentiment and romance for
the genuine extract whose power
and favor will last through life
Don't be in any hurry to try those
chemical experiments for yourselves,
dear inqulrers-check aprons are
better than chignens, and housekeep-
ing should be studied under NAM
mas tuition before you try chemis-
try under your own. In this matter
don't be eager to take Time by the
foreloek, lest he roughly take off
your own locks, the bloom from your
cheeks, and the light from your
eyes.

There's song of music ringing


Like an anthem from affair."
And voice for ever singing


Oh the times before the war.
By his blasted hearth the farmer
Counts the pulses of his care;
Till he feels his heart grow warmer
With the times before the war.
Brighter pictures bring him treasure
OF delight in memory's car;
And the eye O erbrims with pleasure
Seeing times before the war.
Then the smoke of peace and plenty
Wreathed its way to every star;
Heart elate to labor bent he,


In the times before the war.
Now the vagrant acres round him
Every sense of pleasure mar;
And he weeps the hopes that crowned him
In the times before the war.
At his counter, dust invaded,


Like tempest-shattered spar,
Sits the merchant, memory-shaded,
By the times before the war.
Then with every gale of ocean,


Came his vessels from afar!
Gladness ruled each bosom motion,
In the days before the war.
Now, the columned figures spell him,
And his lips are wide ajar;
AS of wasted wealth they tell him,
Earned in times before the war.
Oh the times before the war;


Like bright illusion shines!
Oh the times before the war,


Like golden sun declines

The next pleasantest thing to being hap py ourself is seeing a neighbor happy. Our Democratic friends are, just now, in a blissful state. All the old copper roosters which were searched out and secured up last spring, for the first time in years, arc again put in use. Our friend over the way, however, has a chronic croak that troubles him yet Having onco got into the sepulchral line, he can't get out of it and ends even his short bursts of joy, last week, in this wise:

 !" "RADICALIsM IS DOOMED"

 "THE END OF DEsPoTIsM IS AT HAND"

 He is not always magnanimous, either and taunts us with our late "blessings il disguise" in the following strain of irony "The shout of victory will send g thrill of joy through the heart of every Union man in the land." "Let Ueion men take heart, tc" Sandwiched in with the other good news for tho Democracy in his first editorial column, we find tho state ment that drunkenness is on the increase in Massachusetts,

 The prophetic vein is just now the fa- vorite Democratic style, and the Sentinel is by no means the only Conservative Saul among tho Prophets. It is symptom of weakness which will probably wear off when tho party gains real strength. In the meantime we advise our ncighbor to re- strain tho tendency as far as possible It disheartcns his old subscribers.

chosen at the present session of the Legislature.
Balloting to make an election has taken place
fruitlessly for several days. The continuance
of my name before the Legislature for re'elec-
tion cannot, feel assured aid 1t in making
choice of Senator and might operate still fur
ther to postpone it,


Therefore, with view to the early consum-
nation of this important business, and to pre-
vent unnecessary waste Of valuable time, re-
specially request you severally to withdraw
my name from your respective Houses, or from
the Joint assembly of the two Houses on the
further balloting for Senator.


With profound gratitude TO you both for the
honor you did me in presenting my name for
this office TO your respective Houses and also to
all the gentlemen who expressed their trust in
me, by voting to confer it upon me again, sub
scribe my self your Obliged and obedient servant,

THE CoLoRED MEN or HANOVER IN
SEARCH OF A GANG OF DEsPERADoEs Hid
IN A SWAMP NEAR AsHLAND.-lt will be
remembered that a few weeks ago ten ne
groes escaped from the Hanover County
Jail. Since that time they have been hid
in swamp short distance from Ashland,
issuing forth nearly every night and commit
ting depredations on the property of the
citizens Of that section. Several attempts
have been made by the citizens to arrest
or break up the gang, but they could never
track them to their den in the swamp.
Finding that the efforts Of the whites were
futile, the colored people, who have also
suffered from the thieving propenSities OF
the gang, organized company, elected
Jim Brooks captain, and went in search of
them. On Thursday the company came
across the hiding-place of three of the
gang but fearing that the rest OF them
were concealed near by, left guard to
watch, and returned to Ashland for rein
forccmcnts, which they succeeded in get
ting, and on yesterday started into the
swamp. Since then wo have not heard
from them; but ere this we doubt not
some, if not all, of the gang have been cap
tured. In the gang was colored man
who is charged with committing rape ID
February last upon the person OF iady
who had gotten off the cars near Ashland
and was on the way to her house IN the
neighborhood. This movement on the part
of the colored men is most commendaole,
