Terrible Colliery Explosion
in England.
The explosion in the collieries of
Messrs. Insole <fc Cos., at Cymnoer, four
teen miles above Cardiff, has prodnced
consequences hitherto unparalleled in
the melancholy history of colliery acci
dents in South Wales.
It appears that on Tuesday morning
llCorllT men and boys went down
into the Cymmer pit, little anticipating
the horrible catastrophe about to occur.
The two firemen whose duty it was to
examine the pit, to ascertain if there was
any foul air or gas in it, re-ascended at
about 6 o’clock, pronouncing the pit
safe. In less than an hour after—in
deed, before some had stripped of their
clothes to commence work—the terrible
gas exploded, and the affrighted people
ran hither and thither for a few moments.
Then one fell in the dark, and others
staggering along stumbled on their dead
companions and fell dead also. Here
some were struggling amid the tortures
of the fire; there a train full of boys
all dead; and in other places,in sidlings
or niches in tiie level, men sat down to
await their fearful doom, and had died
with their elbows resting on their knees
and their faces buried in their hands.—
Some had struggled forward, no doubt
hoping te reach the airways and possibly
escape.
The screams of the wives and mothers
at the mouth of the pit—those women
congregated their to await and recognize
the dead—as during the long interval
that ensued between the period when the
first intelligence of the explosion spread
on Tuesday morning till the last body
was brought out on the morning of
Wednesday, were frightful and distress
ing. Allday long the brave fellows who
ventured down, almost in the face of
death, to bring up the dead, sent up the
bodies of the unfortunate men and boys
who had perished, aud when these were
brought to the surface the recognition
of a beloved husband or darling child
awoke harrowing cries. On Wednesday
morning the 110th body was brought
out, and it was left to conjecture wheth
er any still lay in the pit of death. It
was supposed, however, that all who had
perished were now brought up.
A Curious Claim.
Mr. Samuel \V. Chambers, of Iloone
county, Ky., is now in this i-itv, for the
purpose of prosecuting a heavy claim
for real estate. The estate is valued at
over §20,000.000. It consists of twen
ty acres of land in one of the best parts
of this city. It was granted to hisgre-at
great-grand father by Wm. Penn, in 16-
09. The deed was in possession of an
ancestor at Chester when that town was
taken by the BiitLli, aud carried to the
State archives for safety aud is now in
Harrisburg.
Mr. Chambers seems to have worked
at the ease with rare fidelity for many
years. Ilia great difficulty has been to
establish his ancestry by documentary
evidence; in this he has finally succeed
ed. He is now in possession of the mar
riage certificate of his great-great-grand
father, and also those of every one of
his descendants down to his father. The
certificate of 1G99 is one ,drawn in the
style peculiar to the Quakers of those
days. A copy of it is in his possession!
which is written in a Bible bearing date
1631. This Bible was printed “by Ro
bert Parker, printer to the king’s most
excellent majesty.” The Chambers
family removed from Philadelphia to
Delaware, where many now reside. —
Samuel Chambers is duly authorized to
prosecute the claim for ail the descend
ants. He lias employed J. W. Steven
son, an eminent lawyer'of Covington,
Kv., to supervise the business, and con
sulted very eminent counsel here. There
seems to be a very curious provision in
the deed from Win. Penn, which, taken
in connection with a still more curious
statute of our State, passed during'the
Revolution, in regard to proprietary
.rights, which prevents the statute of lim
itation from running against it. Mr.
Chambers designs to prosecute for its re
covery.—Philadelphia Times.
Taken Ik. —The South Carolina Times,
alluding to the late assault of Mr. Stan
wood, of Massachusetts, by B. W. Vicks,
of North Carolina, in New York, says;
When Mr. Vicks was about to leave
North Carolina in company with Mr.
Haywood on a Northern pleasure tour,
he was requested by the State authori
ties to take with him a negro who had
been sentenced to banishment from
North Carolina for a glaring outrage
upon the laws of that State. Mr. V. con
sented, and on his arrival at the hotel in
Philadelphia ho registered his name
Vicks and servant. Soon after the Ab
olitionists appeared and used every per
suasion to induce the uegro to abscond ;
and he informed Mr. Vicks that they
had offered him §oo to run off. Mr.
V. advised the boy to demand §IOO. —
The amount was paid, and the banished
negro, who w.is taken to the North to
be left there, received aid unexpectedly,
and is now residing among a class of peo
ple altogether worthy his association.
Yellow Fever at the New York
Quarantine.
At the meeting of the Commissioners
of Emigration, yesterday afternoon, it
was stated that the number of cases of
yellow fever now in the Marine Uospi.-
al of Staten Island is fouiteen, which is
a decrease compand with the last week
ly report. Up to Ihe time that was
made, the whole number of patients ad
mitted to the Hospital from this disease
was thirty-six—all of whom were from
on shipboard, with the exception of two
or three, attacked after landing at the
Quarantine station.
It was also stated that two of the em
ployees at the Hospital Were attacked,
in each ease with a fatal result. One
was the engineer attached to the Hospit
al work-house, and the other an assist
ant. In each instance the origin of the
disease was traced to a cargo of rags
from Leghorn, landed on the wharf at
Quarantine. Yesterday the health ofli.
cer, by order of the Board of Health,
(in the absence of any action on the
part of the owners) ordered the rags to
be destroyed bv sinking them in the bay.
The Commissioners, at their meeting
yesterday, passed resolutions requiring
the physician of the Marine Hospital, to
make daily reports of the number and
names of all persons admitted with this
disease, the names of the vessels bring
ing them, and the por(3 from whence
they sailed. This is done with a view
to correct the exaggerated reports which
have gained circulation, in the absence
of facts.
Dr. James Harcourt, of Staten Island,
who has been connected with the hospit
al for the last twenty years, was appoint
ed a special physician to aid the physi
eian-in-chief, Dr. Harris.
Dr. F. E. Martindale, deputy Health
Officer, has been attacked with the yel
low fever, but is now convalescent.
From the prompt and efficient mea‘
sures adopted by the Health Officer, Dr.
Thompson, together with the liberal pro
visions of the Commissioners of Emi
gration in the management of the Ma
rine Hospital, it will be readily seen that
there is no occasion for any alarm res
pecting the health of the city. —JTew

Brunswick and Florida Rail
road.
The friends of Brunswick and Tliomas
ville, will be truly gratified to learn that
this Road is now under contract from
the Satilia to the Florida line, in the di
rection of i’allahasse. The division,
from Big Creek to the Alapaha, will bo
constructed rapidly by the gentlemen
who undertook the contract at Brunswick
last May, and by citizens of Thomas,
Lowndes, Clinch ami Ware who have
subsequently signed with them. From
the Alapaha to Thomasviile, the road has
been let to three of the most responsible
arid substantial citizens of this country,
and from Thomasviile to the Florida line
the work has been committed to the
hands of a gentleman amply able to
execute a much heavier contract AH
these contractors engage to grade and
furnish superstructure for the road, the
company binding themselves to lay the
iron upon every consecutive section of
ten miles, as soon as tho same shall be
completed. This arrangement secures
to Thomasviile the Brunswick & Florida
Railroad beyond the possibility of delay
or failure, it has been entered into after
mature deliberation, and with the
earnest determination, on tho part of all
parties interested to go about ft as their
settled and permanent policy. We shall
decline consequently, as we liavo previ
ously intimated, to discuss with our co
temporaries the now valueless questions
of responsibility as regards tho delay in
the organization of the Main Trunk
Company, or whether “ tho stock in the
Atlantic &Gulf Railway will pay sooner
than stock in a single road from Thom Se
ville to Brunswick. Thomasviile

One of our government officials lately
returned from his mission in Brazil, tells
as an anecdote that among tho first en
quiries made of him about his acquaint
ance with our public men, was whether
he knew the American Chemist, Dr. J.
C. Aver, who invented the Cherry Pec
toral and Cathartic Pills. As these ar
ticles (more particularly the Cherry
Pectoral) are the most prevalent repre
sentatives of American products, and as
many thousands there as well as here,
owe to them the recovery of their health
from malignant diseases, it is not strange
they should hold the inventor in esteem,
but it is rather simple in them to suppose
that the Doctor is the only man of mark
we have among our twenty-five million
of people,— Chistian Advocate,

LAXE’S LIVER PILLS.
Mr. Jonathan iloughman, of West Union,
Park County, Illinois, writes to the proprietors,
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, that he had suffered
greatly from a severe and protracted attack of
Fever and Ague and was completely restored to
health by the use of the Liver Pills alone. These
Pills unquestionably possess great tonic proper
ties, and can be taken with decided advantage
for many diseases requiring tho invigorating
remedies; but the Liver Pills staud pre-eminent
as a means ot restoring a disorganized Liver to
healthy action; hence the 'great celebrity they
have attended. The numerous formidable dis
eases arising from a diseased Liver, which so
long baflled the skill of the most eminent phy
sicians of the United States are now rendered
easy of cure, thanks to the study and persever
ance of the distinguished physician whbsefname
this great medicino bears—a namo which wii 1
descend to posterity as one deserving of grati
tude. This invaluable medicine should always
be kept within reach; and on the appearance of
the earliest symptoms of diseased Liver, it can be
safely and usefully administered.

beneficial effects from its use, especially in
Asthma, rfnd Chronic Cough of spasmodic char

Cholera.
A Certain Cure for this Disease may bo found
in the use of Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer.
Dubuque , lowa, May 5, 1850.
Gentleman: —l feel under obligations to you
for the benefit I have received from you invalu
able Pain Killer. A few days since I assisted in
laying out and burying one of our citizens who
was supposed to have died with tho cholera.
The next morning I was taken with severe vomit
ing, accompanied with coldness of the extremi
ties. Warm covering and hot applications failed
to restore warmth. My wife’s family, who had
used the Pain Killer with success during the
cholera season in Buffalo, in 1840, advised me to
take it. I took two doses at intervals of fifteen
minutes; a fine perspiration ensued, and the
next day, barring a little weagness, I was well,
and have been since. Since my recovery I find
that several of our citizens have used the Pain
Killer as a remedy for cholera, pronouncing it
good. I therefore take pleasure in recommend
ing it to a still more extensive notice.

A Word for the Little Ones.
tfW* The comfort and health of their
children is the legitimate source of much anxiety
to those parents who wish to perform faithfully
their duties to their offspring, and yet this very
anxiety prompts them often to seek the aid of
medical men, '{who of course must give something
to the child to gratify the parent,) while, in nine
cases out of ten, all that the child requires is a
gentle and skilful friction, so as to arouse to ac
tiou the M minute superficial vessels so apt to
become torpid in infancy;” for this reason the
most experienced nurses and physicians have
never ceased, since its great virtues were uni
versally known and acknowledged, to recom
mend the “ Balm of Thousand Flowers,” which
creates great elasticity aud strength of limb,
general health of body, and beauty of complex
ion: all which is remarkably apparent in those
children who have been judiciously subjected to
the benign and sanitary influence of tho “Balm.’
