About nine o ' clock on the above morning , she had occasion to go up'jtaira to her bed-room for something or other , and upon returning down , juitas she placed her foot oa the land-! nginthekUchen , thatportlonoftbe flooring on which she stood gave way beneath her , and to the surprise and alarm of those of the family who were in the kitchen at the time , she instantly sank into the ground and dlssp . pi ared frem their sight . An alarm was Instantl y given and a number ef persons from an adjointes coalfield

      were quickly on the spot , but they wer .-. nnab ! e to render any assistance at the moment , even had such bees peisl ble , owing to tbe suffocating nature of the atmosphere which filled the house , and whlck th » ir experience in such matters convinced thtm proceeded from an old coalpit into which the unfortunato woman had fallen Ia erder to give free vent to tbe foal air , the back walls ' of the house were pulled down , bnt It was nearlj two hours from the time of tha ocenrreaca before it was con . alderedsafe for any one to persevere in an attempt t « ascertain the fate of the unfortunate woman . At the end of that time , however , a rope was attsohed to the waist af a man named Joha Spencer , and be having been lowered down the pit-shaft ( lor such It turned oat to be }

      at the depth of about eight yards he obtained footing on a scaffold whloh had beenmed in working the pit , and also found the body of Mrs Yatea there . Having attaohed the rope to h « r waist , she was pulled up b y those above , and although she was aaite warm , all attempts to revive her proved unavailing . Previous to the occur , rence of the accident the tenants had no knewledge of the existence ofthe shaft . It was fainted in tbe course of the inquiry that a pit , the worklag of which was being carried on within eight or ten yards of the home , might have caused the accident , but nothing definite on this point was arrived at . The coroner ' s jury returned aver . diet of Accidental death . ' The deceased was fifty-two years of see .

Not knowing tha quarter of tbe city where he might obtain it , or perhaps disliking to herd with those whose externals be asauuud he wa » compelled to wander about the towa until the next train started for London , where he wlihed to atrlva inthodlsguUeof a peasant , as be had travelled from Ireland .
