Fire Damp in a Mine Xrnr ltrtis HeN Causes an Awful Implosion Three Hundred Men lturied and Nearly all Supposed to Have Perished. Bkusskls, March 11. An acci dent oeenrred in a tcolliery near Chatlcroi, which, it in'ftared, will result in great loa of life. Three hundred miners were employed in a coal pit where there was a terrific explosion ot lire damp. The pit mouth ws rendered nn arailahie, and up to the present the fate of the imprisoned workmen is unknown. KlFurts arc being made to rttKMie n v of the men M ho may have survived tlie ex.loiou. The explobion was nt Anderluis Col liery. Treint-ndons excitement prevaiU in the vicinity of the pit. Men, women and children have hciii hied in iinmeiifio crowd and are wild with fear, for it it thought when an entrance i made to the colliery the low of life will le found to Ik; ;ij p:illin. Of the threj hundieil men at work, only three have thus far arrived nt the mouth of the pit to safety. The effect of the explo sion wa terrific that the cage and ventilator were fhattercd. The deduction of the ventilator adds to the clement of great danger t the situation. The men if any survived the hock of the explosion, are apt to mcc-t their de.ith from the choke damp, as with the destruc tion of the ventilator it id imjni.-.-i hie to rid the mine of gas. A large numher of the mint rs are married and their families are nt the pit mouth frantic with grief. The worst is feared, and the mine offi cers and jiemlarines have the great est dithYulty in preserving space sufficient for the rescuing party that has been organized to work. Volunteers are plenty and ahn.t -11 jM-r liiiiiiuri effort are lcitig made to el- ar the shaft. A Model or the llotlan Itrldge.

Having prepared the laud for hilling, applying the fertilizer by whichever mode tho planter prefers, and iu such quantity as tho natural sf length of tho soil indicates, laying off the rows three feet three inches apart, and make the hills about two feet ten inches distant from centre to ecu tie.

Planting is often most ef fectually done when the hills are leing made in May, and the land is moist with the winter's san, by i planting iu the afternoon hills made ; the same day. If properly1 planted, j very few of the plants will fail to live. Observe to draw the plants ! oi;e by one from the lied, and handle ! so as not to bruise them.5 It is a waste ot time and plants to set out j very small plants, but wait ti they f are of proper size the largest leaves i aUuit two and h half to three. inches wide.

A TRIP TO HADES. Remarkable Story for "Which a West Virginia Minister is Responsible. The Rev. John T. Johnson. th celebrated mountain evauiTelist. who has been travellincr throneh tlie State for nearly forty years, 6tates that during a revival at Round liot- tom, Monongahela county, a young man 01 that place who had been ill with consumption for some time. died, descended into hell and re turned to lite in an hour. and. after describing his torrid trip, embraced rciigum ana again uieu nappny, 111 the full belief of his future salva tion. After statinsr that the vouhc man . who was one of the most intelligent in the country, was a skeptic, Mr. Johnson savs : "lie was apparently lying at the point of death. The Iiev. Mr. U Daniels and mveelf were called 11 noil trt PTldoavor to hrlnr. him in r - - - - . v . . . ... ...... Christ. "While Mr. O'Daniels wa talk ing to him, holding him by the hand, he. seemingly expired, and was pronounced dead by all in the room. .

"lie seemed endowed with super natural strength, and it required the utmost . exertions of several jowerf nl men to keep him on the bed. The struggle continued for an hour, when becalmed down and. regaining his senses, requested that we 6ing and pray with him. "After the exercises were oer, he tald us tliat when he became insensible to earth he found himself at the brink of a , yawning, black chasm. Lurid fires seemed to be burning al a great distance down, and shrieks of the most unearthly kind greeted his ears. "After remaining quiet a short time he felt a thread by his hand. Ho grasped it, andhad hardly done bo when a mightywind 6truek his bodv, almost tearing his limbs out of their sockets, and dashing him down into the mouth of the pit, where ho swayed from side to side, clinging to tho thread, which alone kept him from falling to the flames below. "He knew that should the thread break or he lose his grasp he was doomed forever,and he thought to himself : "I have been a sceptic and God Almighty is showing me that there is a hell of darkness and fire to which unbelievers are exposed .' and he grasped the thread the tighter. "After what seemed to him an interminable time th wind eeAced and ho knew nothing until he re- quested the ministers to pray lor him. Shortly after his return to life," Mr. Johnson continued, "he made his peace with God, and after giving full directions regarding his burial, bidding his friends good-by and reouestini?
