Paday's ride on the Railray. The e.
high Coal Mines are situated on a noun
tain, about nine miles from the river, AT an
elevation of iC00 feet above II. A ran
road has been extended from the mines TO
the river, along the side Of the mountain,
down which the coal is conveyed IN cars,
which descend by ther own weight, he
velocity Of their descent would be almost

deep ravinp, a catch on the side of the rail
knocks cut pin and let's the bottom OF
the car, which is hung on hinges, drop nnd
discharre the contenls into the abyss, hltF
or sixty feet below. A short time since.
three Paddles, fresh from their own "swate
Ireaud," visited the place, and while the
worknen were at dinner, determined 10

one Of the dit cars, aud let it loose from
the fastening. No, knowing how 10 regu-
late It's velocity, away they went, J'hu
like, at the rate Of half a mile Il minute.
This was fine sport till, on "A sudden, The
bottom dropped and deposited them with
out any material injury, among the rubbish
below, from which they looked up IN un-
speakab Consideration and dismay, al
this unexpected termination of their RUE.
