is pure and abundant anti coming from •

than he ever had tutors on * similar oc-

TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.
May. 13. -ht one
explosion occurred at
the Drumnioni Colliery, Wes.rdle.
That general manager Mr. Dunn, the
over seer, Mr. Richardson, and between
40 and 50 others, men aud boys, were in
the mine at the time. Of these only
four men have been reined. There is
• downcast air shaft about three hun-
dred yards from the elope er entrance
to the mine, and cries were heard at
the bettom of this shaft. Repos and
men were immediately procured, and
with their assistance the four men above
mentioned were rescued, but before any
mere could be taken out the fir* reacher'
the &heft and another fearful explosion
took place, cutting off all hope, of uving
any mere lives from this point. Four

this 'heft to assist their fellow -workmen,
and vibe were in the act of doing so,
were blown iip when the expinsion oc-
curred. The mane in still burniug fear-

No hopes ars entertained of sating any
more lives. There is scarcity of water

mond Colliery and volunteers front all
other mines, to dam up every available
stream of water, from which trenches
are being dug leading to the slopes and
shafts, with the intention of letting the
water iato the mine. Tee managers of
the neighbouring mines are on the
ground, and with their mon &redoing all
that men can do. The Fire Compant
near Glasgow, with their engine, are at
work trying to save the headings on the
surface, which are now threatened by the
flames coming from the slopes. At thie
