Times, referring to an advertisementof slaves for sale, in the Nebraska City News, which has caused a great sensation, says that the parties referred to as importing slaves to Nebraska, are Messrs. Nuckolls & Hal, owners of the principal part of the site of Nebraska City, extensively engaged in business there, and .owners of a majority of the slaves in Atchin son county, Missouri. These men have had a few slaves at work for them in , household duties at Nebraska City, own the Nebraska City News, and dictate t.he articles which ap pear in it. The correspondent of the Times says of the slave advertisement, and a few pro-slavery articles that have appeared in the News: • , "I look upon the move as simply apiece of bravado at home, and probably designed to find favor and approbation at the hands of those men in St. Louis with whoin they have business connections. This is'the key to - the whole affair. The idea'of slavery gaining a ibothold in 'Nebraska, is utterly out of the question."

Miss Hemphill, lingering behind her comrades at some blackberry bustles, espied a nest of young snakes, and immediately started to run to wards the clearing. She succeeded in cross ing the fence, when her progress was impeded by a large black snake that had wound itself twice round her thighs on the outside of her garments, and bound her so tight that she could not move. How or when it got there she could not tell, her ideas being so confused by fright, on. seeing the nest from which she run. Sho was relieved in her locomotion by the snake taking a higher position, when she threw up her arms and ran, using her basket to fight the reptile, which clung to her and bit incessantly at her dress. She was finally re lieved from her perilous situation by a gentle man who was attracted to the spot by her cries, and who killed the snake. There is not much mischief in the bite of a black snake ; its mode of warfare is to destroy by constriction, and no doubt the result would haev been terrible, had the reptile in this in stance found its way to the child's throat. We have heard a marvellous story of a very large snake—say teu feet lung—having been repeatedly seen in that neighborhood. How ever exaggerated the size, we have it pretty straight that those who have seen it have been fearful to attack it without a gun.- {lest Chester Jeffirsanian. YRWIITFUL MINING ACCIDENT.—The follow ing is taken from the Pottsville Miners' Journal of Saturday week. Thetietitils of one of those frequent accidents by the explosion of tire damp is herewith given : A fearful accident occurred on Tuesday morning last, about half-past seven o'clock, at Mr. Agard's Belmont Colliery, in this county —the place is better known by the old name of the Five Points. Four persons, two men and two -boys, have been taken out of the slope, dead and dreadfully mangled--one more is nut likely to live, and six others are serious ly injured. It has been and may be denomi nated an explosion of gas, but more properly it was a powder explosion; for the latter did the most injury, though the "fire damp," as it is generally called, exploded first and ignited the powder. The facts of the occurrence are as follows: The miner boss, Mr. John W. Davis, went into the mine early in the morning, as usual, and examined the works carefully before any of the miners were at work. He found "fire" in one of the "breasts" near the face cf the gangway. This breast was worked by James Silverthorn and son, and was the only part of the mine considered dangerous. Mr. Davis met Silverthurn and told hint twice, emphati cally, that his place was full of fire,• and that he should not venture in it with a naked lamp until the gas was driven out. Accordingly Silverthorn wok the lmvy ..foty lamp, and commenced to brush lire out of the breast.— Bu t, untl,rtunately, several of the miners were seated around the bottom of the breast, in the gangway with their naked lamps, taking their customary "whiff," and that before com mencing work, and near them were between two and three kegs of powder, open and un protected. The gas being driven down the shuts past the cross-heading, penetrated to tile gangway. where the miners were seated, and as might be expected, it took fire from the lamps. But the explosion of gas would have been trifling, in comparison to the amount of damage done, had not the powder, which was in close prox imity to the men, also ignited and exploded, crushing and bruising everything in the vi cinity, and doing considerable damage to the mines. The effect of the shuck was felt at a great distance front the scene, and the mines throughout trembled with the concussion.— Coal, rocks and material, were buried with dreadful velocity far out towards the slope.— But the damage done to the work, the amount of which cannot be fully ascertained, is no thing in comparison to the dreadful loss of life and limb—the horrid sufferings which the fearful accident occasioned. A WIIOLE FAMILY POISONED—THREE OF THE CHILDREN DEAn.—We learn. by a letter received from Dr. J. O. Patterson, residing iu Candor, Washington county, Pa.. the particu lars of a melancholy case of poisoning. It seems that on Saturday, the 28th ult., three lads, sons of Mr. A extuider Pious, residing in the vicinity of Candor, proceeded to the woods and gathered a large quantity of mush rooms, which they took home for table.use. The whole family, seven in number, partook freely of the dish, and shortly after exhibited the most alarming symptoms. Three physi cians were called in, and pronounced them poisoned. The proper remedies were speedily administered, but all efforts to save the boys who had gathered the plants, proved abortive. They died in great agony, shortly afterwards, and were all buried in the same grave. They were aged, respectively, ten, six, and litur years. The parents of the children were so unwell• as to be unable to render theth any assistance, and the poor little sufferers, in the trying hour of death, were thus deprived of a father's care, and a mother's, untiring watch fulnesS, TIM, parents, and the two children who survived, exhibited favorable symptoms on the 31st, ,and at the time our informant wrote; 'hopes were entertained of their final recovery.— Wade.

A GOOD YIELD.—The Monongahela Repub lican says, that Mr. James McCrory, Sen., of Fayette City, raised one hundred and six dozens of wheat on cone acre lot that had been in corn for twenty - five oonseeutive . years. As the grain was down, three young lads under took to reap it, the united ages of whom amount to two hundred and twenty four years, viz: jerentieh. Oug, aged 76 years; Wm. McCrory, 75. Jas. McCrory, 73. It is said the boys handled the 'sickles as if they had lived "In' the gad old days of Adam and Eve," when iieople reaped their grain in thankful ness, and didn't bite each other's backs. We hope the ieapers may live to a good old age.
