Throe men named Edward Bowen, Jas. Dwau, and Daniel McNamarj, were working in the drive, which caved in, Not coming home to tea a search was made, when it was found that they were all entombed. The miners at once set to work to extricate thorn by two drives from the tunnel. Bowen could be heard from one drive and Dwan from the other about two o'clock this morning, Bowen has been extricated and it is oxpected Dwan will be rescued about eleven this morning. McNamara has not beon heard and as he was only ten feet from Bowen he is supposed to lis killed, Bowen is Buffering from long incarceration, and non-circulation. He was jammed on to a truck by a slab, which at;ain was only supported half an inch on a prop, Tho minors are working vigorously to rescuo tho other two, A later telegram states that Dwan was released at 9,45 this morning and walked out not much hurt.. Although caught iu tho debris ho managed to crawl into an open place, where ho could stand upright. It is thought McNamara will bo reached at about 3 p.m., but there is no oxpocla« lion of hia being found alive, It iu rjuito untrue that tbo Grand Duke of Hesse's morganitic marriage has. been dissolved, Evon in Germany a marriage cannot begot rid of so oasily as the correspondents of the dailv papers appear to suppose. The Grand Duke would probably be glad to obtain an annulment of his union; but he will find it impossible to do so without the concurrence of his bride, who might very possibly decline to be bought off by a title and a pension.—" Vanity Fair."

At the Hammersmith Police Court a .gentleman residing in Kensington complained to the Magistrate of the great annoyanee he and his family suffered from the crowing of his neighbor's fowls, which were kept within two'yards of his windows. Mr Paget said he m&- very sorry, but he thought that he could not assist him. However, he inquired whether the ■applicant ; could prove. that the noise : was injurious to health, The applicant replied :in the affirmative. Mr Paget said some years ago Sir James Ingham was very anxious to afford assistance, but he failed to. do so. After" a reference to the Act, the Magistrate asked the applicant if he could prove by a medical man that his servant or any member of his family suffered from the crowing, The applicant said he could call medical evidence to that effect. Mr Paget then granted a summons against the owner of the fowl for having an animal so kept as to be a nuisance, and' injurious to health.

I fancy you,ll take my medicine hereafter," See
