A thrilling record.

--The only information as to the last moments of two hundred and five persons who perished by the late colliery accident at Hartly, England, was found on a strap of paper in the pocket of one of them written while they were a waiting death. It says that three of the men looked ill, and that a prayer-masting was held before death terminated their sufferings, at which several of the men delivered exhortations.
