" - ' Over 100 Men Buried Alive. The column* of (he European German paper* are filled with the particular* of the greatest disaster that ever desolated any mining district : On the 1st of July fast, the wooden frame-work of a 1500 feet deep pit of a coal mine in the neighborhood of Logan, a - ui oniony, give way, blocking up, with an impenetrable m??? of timber and rock, the pit at a depth of about 300 ell* from the top. At the moment of the dieaeter, 102 men, nearly all of them thisupportere of Urge familiee, were working in the bottom of the mine. Their provisions were calculated for one day. On the fl'h of Julv, the date of our latent newe by mail, the place where the fallen masses had stopped the pit was such a solid struciure that the water was standing on it many feet high. From all sides, the mo<*t available help was offered, hut the conviction that nothing could he done soon enough to sare the unfortunate mi ners weaketied. as it seemi, any energet* ic efforts The? were doomed to die of starvation and want of fresh air. On the 4th of July, nil attempts to reach the bottom of the mine bv *nr quick process were aban? doner!. and a alow but sure plan waa de vised, by which, at least, the corpses of the perished could be extracted. Iron tubea of about two feet in diameter were to he sunk through tbe obstructions to the bottom of the pit. Among the dead are forty four married men, one of whom had a wife and nine being children. The scenes at the entrance of the pit are doe* crihed a> lamentable without a parallel. 137 children filled the air with their woe ful cries, whilst the superintendent of the : mines, to whose negligence the disaster waa ascribed hv the people, could only be saved from being mobbed by his sudden imprisonment.

The widow discovered, in looking over her hushend's pepers, that he was indebted to en Abolitionist, et the North, in the sum of $1, 000. She told ber administrator that there must not be a stein upon the metro ory of her husband, end proposed selling her house and lot to pay the debt. Ue wrote to the creditor, stating the destitute condition of the widow end her honorable intention*. For no answer, he received a letter enclosing the note of the deceased husband a present to the widow. The nam* nl thi? generous creditor wn* Gen ritl Smith, of Ifew York.
