It is said that many have been thus reâ€" formed ; indeed, it is inaintained by the SZashers that their mode of dealing with intemperance is infinitely more effective than that of the moral suasionists, in proof of which they point to the effects of the new regime; that whereas the town was formerly disgraced with drunkâ€" enness there is now no toper to be seen in its atreets. We would advise this novel army of reformers to disband at their next meeting, or they mmy possibly get lnz&mblo, for it is not likely that they will be 1 recognised by the community as J,he rightful ministers of justice, and if a reaction take &fico in the popular mind these knights of whip will possibly find themselves in trouble in more ways than one.

On rdcoveringâ€"from the first shock of alarm, the .v':fm-rn and underâ€"viewâ€" ers, several of" whom had fortunately come‘to: the surface a few minutes before the occurâ€" rence,inspected the gear and machinery of the: duwn-cfig( shafts, and information of the acciâ€" dent was simultancously forwarded to Mr. T. Dymond, ‘the managing «partner, and to Mr. Superintending Greenbhalgh, of Barnsley, who shortly arrived with a number of.policemen. .‘ Beginning the l}:nh. T3 As soon as possible,‘a party of men cautiâ€" ously descended, and at the bottom of the shaft found eighteen .men and boys much afâ€" fected by the afterâ€"damp, and many of themm seriously burned. They were at once sent to the surface. â€" A search was made for others of the living, and asâ€"it was also important to learn whether the coal had caught fire, Mr., Dymond and a party of viewers and collitry managers from adjoining works proceeded to make an examination of the pit, They peneâ€" trated about five handred or seven hundred yards, to the bottom of the upâ€"cast shaft, The air was Joaded ‘with noxious gas to such an exâ€" tent thait one of the party was nearly overpowâ€" ered by it. It was found thit an immense amount of damage had been caused to the, sides and®oot of the workings, that the airâ€" ways were literally blown to ,pieces, and that not a living man was to be found in the pit. :Of dead they counted many ; within a spice of fifty yards there were not fewer than thirtyâ€" eight, and at every few paces the rumber was increased ; it was also found that the stables were destroyed, and about cighteen or twenty, horses killed. Some of the party returned to the surface ‘and ‘called for more volunteers to repairâ€" the airâ€"ways and get out the dead. Plenty of ‘willing hands joined heartily in the dangerous tagk, and in the course . of the evenâ€" ing and night more than one hundréd men were thus employed. { One exploring party, when ‘about : seven hundred yards from the slraft, felt the air suckâ€" ing, and made every. haste out, and saved their lives; but another ‘party, consisting of David Stewart, Wm. Sugden, Christopher Sidâ€" dons, Tho#. Nadin, Wim. Stephenson (workâ€" men), and Mr. Jeffcoff (mining engineer) lost their lives. CA f Second Explosion. . A second explosion took place on Thursâ€" day morning, while the parti¢s in charge were in the act of drawing out the dead, consequent upon the previous explosion. ‘The report was like that. of a cannon. .‘The news of this secoud disaster spread like lightning, . and hundreds of the friends and relatives of the poor.creatures in the pit were quickly on the spot. The scene of Wednesday was again renewed. â€"The peor women could rbe‘%/t +on the road to the colliery fainting withl excesâ€" sive griet, while others were seen tearing their hair, apparently wild with excitement. The scene in the neighborhood of the colliery was truly heartâ€"rendering. s Third Explosion. Y At nine a, m. the pit exploded again, killing hll the volunteers who were searching for the dead. Happily, the foulncess of the pit had been so great previously that about ten minutes to nine all the scarchers, to the number of sixteen,‘came to bank. When they did «o they were accused of cowardice by the men who were waiting to descend, and these latter at once went down to continue the search. They bad not been in the pit many minutes when it fired, the crash of the explosion being distinctâ€" ly heard at places nearly a mile distant. * Three Hundred and Fifty=two Lives Lost. A fact corroborating prévious: statements as to the number of men in the pit at the time of the explosion came to light during the investiâ€" gations, and strengthens the assertions as to the loss of human life. | A. Manchester paper says: " We are informed on creditable auâ€" thority that four hundred and thirty lamps had been issued on Wednesday morning, and as only two or three had been returned, thk fearful gstimate of the loss of life is not likely to have been overstated." * The numbers will be at the lowest estimate, 330 in the pit when the accident happened 18 rescued alive, of whom 12 have since died ; and 28 volunteers killed; making a total of 35% killed. sycd x Cause of the Explosion. The Manchester Guardian says: " As to the cause of the explosion little is known+4â€"practiâ€" cally it is a mere surmise. The pit wils in the hands of a rich proprietary, who were certainly not parsinfonious in their management.. The mine made a large quantity of gas, .w{ich was collected in various parts of the pit, and conâ€" ducted in pipes to the engine plane, which was thus artificially lighted. â€" In the workings the men used safety lamps. . It is ui‘g that when the accident happoned a number of the colliers were driving a headway toward some old levels charged with foul air, and a supposition preâ€" vails that, having tapped this air, it rushed to the engine plane and there exploded, just as in the case of the recent accident at Dukinfield. Another theory is that the. mine may have been fired by the incautious use of the safety lamps or the lighting of a match." * s Incidents. / One of the; most affecting scenes which the searchers came upon was the dizcovery of more than twenty men, nearly the whole of whom were locked in each other‘s arms.~ They had faced death together, and had carried the f:iend- ship of life to the very threshold of the grave. Others had evidently been swept away while taking leave of each other, and in the terror and confusion of the moment others had still remembered ‘ty appeal to the .mercy of their God â€" Not a few. were_ thus feund in the attiâ€" tude of.prayer. _ > ¢ A more awful spectacle than that presented to the searchers on Wednesday night could hardly be found, even on a battleficld. _ Horges, coal tubs, and in some cases mmen and lads were heaped together. in one confused mase, and some of the bodies were so much disfigured, more by dirt than mutilation, that their friends could hardly recognize them ; some had to be identified by a button, orâ€"a show, or some part ef their tatteréd garments. + Samucl Brown, of Barnsley, states that when the first explosion took place during the search for which he had volunteered, ‘he was caught by the afterâ€"blast, and became unconâ€" scious for some time. . Afterwards he revived, and wandered about the north incline, falling over mangled corpses in the road, and found his way to the pit mouth, where he pulled the signal beli. _He thinks . there was no other living. being i3 the .pit, for after his consciousness returned. he never. héard any voices or moaning, or any other indicaâ€" tion of life. j h > Searchers Killed. The Talkeo®«the«Hill Colliery Explosion» ‘The explosion in the Talkâ€"o‘theâ€"Hill Colâ€" liery, in Staffordshire,‘ occurred *At 11 a.in, on Thursday, Dec. 13, nlfi:t twentyâ€"tour hours after the ‘disaster at Barnsley, Upwards of one hundred lives were lost by this explosion. The colliery is situated in the parish of Talke, about a mile from the Hardcastle Station. ~ It / belougs to. the North Staffordshire Coal and Iron Company, (limited,) and has been worked about cightcen months, The conl which it produces is known as Banbury . coal. Fror the mouth of the shaftsâ€"two in mimberâ€"to the bottom of the pit is a depth of three hunâ€" gred and fifty yards, and the workings exte nd about fivxe hundred yards in various\directions, The, number of men and boys vm}nluyu.l was about one hundred and fifty. The .Explosion. The miners descended the pit at five o‘clock in the morning, and engaged in their hazardâ€" ous occupation till eleven: o‘clock, _ Abont that hofi;n smothered ‘report was heard by those standing on the pit bank : flames rushed furiously from the mouth ofthe pit, and an inâ€" stant afterward the surface ot. the country . for: a great extent on all sides was covered with . thick s9ot. . The shock caused by the cxploâ€" ‘ sion was felt at the distance of half a mile. | Mr. G. Tohnson, the Company‘s manager, got| the j pit bank cleared as soon as possible, s«nd{ the cages were lowered into the mine. , In a short time about fifty terrified men and lads woere brought to the surface b&\:n_\' of No, 2 shaft. The efforts of No. 1 shaft whre not so successfal, g»veral men who were raised at that point being burned more orâ€"dess severcly, ‘ ‘~_The Dead? ~ \ The exploration rendered the searchers alâ€" most unconscious, and as cacluone came to the surface every means were taken to revive him ‘Some of them remained for a long time half insensible, whilcothers, gn whom brandy and chloroforim had: a : more salatary effect, soon came round, and were ceady for another désâ€" cent. The bodies brought up from time to time were examined ‘by. the surgeons, and wore, with few‘exeeptions pronougpced dead. The fatal word was sadly heard by.the amen at the pit bank.~ At this time women and childâ€" ren had been probibited from approaching the phaft, and thus many painful demonstrations were prevented, _: f The scene in the pit is described as frightful, â€"aliés and limbs layapart, and several headâ€" Cless trunks were sent up. â€" The total number found in an‘injured state up to 8 o‘clock at night was thirteen. . ‘The dead bodies numberâ€" ed fortyâ€"three; afterâ€"damp was the ‘cause of death, â€" Deducting the uninjured, the burned and the dead, there must then have remained in the pit between torty and fiity men, and, as none of those brought up towards the end ‘of the day were alive, it is but reasonable to supâ€" pose that these, too, have perished., Cause 6f the Disaster, * The force of the explosion, as evid nced by the appearance of/the pit‘s workings, must have been integse, the bratticing on all sides having been blown away, the plant seatter d in all directions, and the| roadways, for the most part, consequently blocked up. ‘Nothing ‘was perceived by the miners priorto the acesâ€" dent to cause them to suspect the apptqach of danger, the explosion, it is said, coming on them with all the suddenness of ngnl?fimt. Nor can any cause be yet fixed upon, éxtcpt what may be inferred from‘the fact that on the persons of several of ‘the deceased duplicate lamp keys were tound. ‘The possession of these | is in opposition to the orders contained in the Mines Regulation Act, which requires that the | locking and the opening of the safety lamps | shall be solely performed by appointed officers, This is the first explosion at this colliery, although the min¢ is described as of a very gassy character, â€" All the most recent method# of ventilition were in use, and the cause of the explosion is notat present known. T » Incidents. Isané Bolton, a collier at the Talkâ€"o‘theâ€" Rill pit, said that aboutclever p.m., he felt a wind blowing through thie m‘inm He concludâ€" ed that somethiog had happened and he did his best to leavye. On his way to the bottom of ‘the shaft, he.came across a man who had fallen, He took him in hand for some distance, but eventually wasâ€"obliged to leavehim. Witâ€" ness got to the foot of the shaft, but he and others could not, at first, get the rope lowerod. In & short time, the cage was let down, and he and others were extricated. As soon as he got above ground, he ran home. «. (Mr. Wynne, the government inspector of mines for the district, explained that it was usual in such cases, for those who were saved. to make for home as quickly as they could, in order to set at rest the minds of their families.) , Bome of the bereaved are in a most pitiable plight. ~ A widow, named Booth, has lost . two sons who.were her only. support, Another woman has lost her busband, son, and, an adopted child, and is; left ‘with four girle, Several families have been deprived of father and son. _ In another cise, six young children named Knowles, whose mother‘died only a few weeksago, have now become orphans. In one row of four houses, every window blind is drawn.down. â€" ; The colliery was worked day and night by two shifts of men. Had the explosion occurred little more than half gn hour Jater most of the colliers would hu\fi‘c beertf away at dinner, and thus the loss of life would have been considerâ€" ably less, _ Asâ€"it is the number killed will, it is thought, be under cighty ; for of those believed on Thursday night to We still underground many, it appears, contrived to escape by No. 2 shaft. The number of horses buried was fourtcen.
