Postmaster Ilagerty ban the agency
for the sale of the new U. S. 5dl re
funding certificates, hearing interest
at 4 per cent. These certificate are
dated April 1st 1S79, and bear interest
from that date the purchaser paying
the accrued interest at time of pur
chase. The sidewalk tax has been in
creased from three to live milis on the
dollar of valuation, and at this rate
there will not be enough money to
put sidewalks in all the places walks
are needed. The new walks are very
substantial, of good width, and will
last, with a little patching, for ten
years.

At Centreville on Saturday night
the store of .las. Taylor, in which is
located the post-ollice, was broken into
and a quantity of stamps taken. Three

day looking after the chaps, but did
not succeed in finding them.
The engineers have commenced
the survey for Doctor Farley's coal
road. Their headquarters are in the
rooms above Doctor Hartley's drug
store. Although a feather on a stump
is no sign of a duck's nest, and a sur
veying party no sign of a railroad, we
have faith that the road will lie built,
if not this summer perhaps next. The
Toby coal fields are almost inexhausti
ble, and without an outlet, which this
new road will furnish.
A queer blunder occurred in .one
of theElmira churches upon the occa
sion of the christening a bubo a few
Sundays ago. In the confusion of the
moment the clergyman mistook tho
name and baptized the "little pre
cious ' as 'William Henry, when, as
the clown said, "it. wa-u't that kind
of a cat." U was a girl. Some days
afterward the mistake was rectified by
the clergyman undoing his work and
doing it over again, so the dear child
will not go through lii'e as Miss or
Miss Hank. MeKcaii .!; ;.

A terrible and almost fatal accident
occurred at Carpenter, on t lie Northern
Central, railroad, on Tuesday. The
particulars, as far as they have been ob
tamed, areas follows: A party of six
ladies were watching some men trail
logs in the creek, leading to t he saw null
of Weige'l & Miller, of i!iis city. Upon
a nign uaiiK overlooking the mill, at a
point about a hundred feet above them,
was a pile of logs, which a teamster
was engaged in hauling down to the
stream. One of the logs suddenly
broke away from him, and started
down the steep hill directly toward
the ladies who stood below, wholly un
conscious of the danger they were in.
Owing to the noise made by tin- stream,
the ladies did not hear the log.as it
came bounding down, or the shouts of
the terrified teamster, unil the flying
timber was within less than thirty
feet of them. Of course the ladies did
the best they could, in their terror, to
make their escape. One of the num
ber, Mrs. II. II. McNett, in her hurry
fell, and the log rushed over her in its
mad flight. It Was thought her life
would be crushed out, and, upon
being picked up, it was found that she
was very severely injured in the hip
and small of the back. Miss Celinda
Newell, a sister of Mrs. McNott,
only effected her escape by plunging
into the water. How Mrs. .McNett
escaped death is little short of miracu
lous, as the hill, down which the log
came, is much steeper than the roof of
a house, and the log was moving at a
fearful velocity when it passed over
tier. The teamster in question is a
brother of the two ladies, and it is im
possible to describe the horrors of the
moment to him. It was certainly a
very fortunate thing that the afliiirdid
not terminate more disastrously.

Yesterday the rescuing party succeeded
in drilling a hole through '.. the lower
part of the mine, thu show ing th tt it
was on I i:i v-s:uy l.i .h ive a few f. i f
further to eflect an opeiiinginto the
gangway. Work wa then nece.-sarl v
performed siowly and carefully as
there were indications of lire-dami
which necessitated the drhing and
cutting of the coal with the pick alone.
The opening was ell'ecicil at o'clock
and Mine Superintendent Smith was
the first to enter. He found some of
the men cooking a breakfast of mule
steaks taken from tiie mule which the
boy wlio .was scut to warn them of
the impending disasterhad fortunately
taken with him ami which was killed
kii the second day of their confine
ment. The rest of the parly were en
gaged in changing the direction kof mi
air course.
Very little was said and the entire
party used all possible despatch in
getting out of the mine reaching the
surface soon after o'clock. Tiie
crowd that had assembled was very
enthusiastic and repeatedly rheered
the rescued men and their plucky de
liverers. The men weio then sent to
their home. They state that during
Saturday and Sunday they could hear
the party firing blasts, and when the
Wanting ceased they believed that the
work had been stopped and that they
were abandoned to their fate. They
also say they could have subsisted at
least two weeks longer, had it been
necessary, upon their supply of jerked
mule meat.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the brave men who accomplished the
work of driving and timbering a
passage way of 1,-00 feet through rock,
slate and coal in the space of four days
and nights, to the bosses directing the
work, and to the engineering skill
displayed in locating and directing the
openings.
The men, when released, had been
confined five and a half days. They
stood the long confinement very will.
The boy upon reaching the surface
leaped over the enclosure at the mouth
of the opening and ran rapidly home

than whs expected. Tile houcs around

were blown Ir-.to splinters and as many
more damaged. The debris is now
lying thickly scattered on and around

who has an office nt tho entrance
of the yard, is among the badly In
jured. Two of the clerks, Messrs.

at the time and had ft Harrow escape.
The building was shattered into a
thousand fragments, and how they ch
eapen tin mirt is n miracle, uno man
who was walking toward the freight
house was blown over the fence and
sustained only a few" scratch?. A
fragment of iron weighing over a
pound was driven through a window
of the Crown hotel, half a mile from
the scene of the explosion. The .shock
was felt in all the surrounding towns,
and it was supposed to be an earth
quake. The car on which tho explo
sion occurred Was freighted at Mon
treal for Amhurstbury and contained
thirty packages, which were entered
as blasting powder. They were ship

used in blasting tit the Detroit tunnel.
