Oo tbe second beat tbe RotiseviHa borse

the fact of tbe rider of tbe Rousevilie borse
either losing or throwing bis bat off about
the centre of tbe track, the hat striking tbe
Lady Thompson on tbe bead and frighten

Or tbe third beat Lady Thompson broke
and tbe rider was unable to held her to tbe

place, who' presented' us with a sample o'
tbe oil. The Iron company there, lor th
purpo of securing a better supply oleoal
have been engaged In making two drjfta or
eotriea through a targe bill, and through
the diamond vein of coal. The drift ate
considerable dialaoo apart, and in pssslug

tbe driftey eompelllbg a tsmportry suspen

without Hopping it entirely, it removes
considerably tbe danger from explosions, of
which thsra bava been tsveral lately, mak
ing It uosaf lor workmen. It it the Intent
tlon ol tb company to force tba eotrlet
cVar through the hill, and thereby secure
proper ventilation, when an Investigation
will be mad ol th ow discovery. Tbl
Is the only oil dlscovsred In tb Immediate
