Ti:m-u.vii.m, June 30, An explosion of a locomotive boiler on J. Mel tonoufrhVrmm Road oocm t'd at about ‘2 o’clock this evening, about four miles from liis mid, at tbo titty-seven mite post, Brunswick and Albany ltftib-oad.uud throe miles from this place. It was caused by too great pressure ot ste m upon tho boi .er. Mr. Joseph W. Bender, tho engineer, and Jii.siiroman, a coloredbov by the mum of Shingle toil \trl, were ins! ally k-'led. Win. Douglass, who was tiding on tho engine to the mid, was also Idled. Mr. Bonder took the storm gauge off on i Sntuixhiy, aud did not replace it. Witeu taking the engiuo out this morning, the safety valve stuck fast, which caused tin explosion. Tho engineer had made one (rip with; . ihi- engine, and had loaded at Log Way i and gone some four hund-vd yards on the . ■ - eoud hip, when the explosion oece-rod. Tho engine was blow. to atom -. Tin 1 tram road was r' .o turn up the length of ! the engine. I Mr. Bender's body was found about two hundred and fifty yards from the engine. 'Tho lower pm.ion of the body was badly ■ mangled and tlio bowels lipped open. [ The right arm and leg were almost severed | from tho body. Hhingleton Aid's body was found iu an ! opposite direction on the other side of tlie track, about fifty yards off, badly scalded ; and injured. I William Douglass’s body was found in a , sitting position on the tram road, in rear ; of the train, fifty yards off, bieised mid badly scalded. A portion of Bender’s clothing now hangs to the limbs of trcos some foity or fifty feet high. Tho coroner’s inquest this afternoon exonerates Mr. J. McDonough of i-U blame iu the matter. A UFA AIIOVE TllE SKY, [ This belief ia curiously illustrated by two I legendary stories, presesved by Cicrvuao, of Tilbury: One Hiimhty, as the people of a village in England wore coming out of church one thick, cloudv day, the r saw the anchor | of a ship hooked to one of the tombstones,' the cable, wWch was tightlv sti-tclicd, i haugiiig down from the air. ’flic people were astonished, ami while they were con* suiting about it, sndde’i*y they -uw the rope move, as though someone labored to p ill up the anchor, The anchor, however still held fast to the stone, and a great, noise was suddenly hoard iu the uir likothe shouting of sailors. Presently a sailor was noon sliding down tho eable, for the purpose of nnlixing the anchor, and when ho had just loosened it j the viltagyra seized hold of jiinxand, while iu ‘tlielf bauds, ho quickly died, just us though he hud boon drowned. About an hour after, the sudors above, hearing no more of their comrade, cut the cable and sailed uway. In memory of this extraor dinary event, tho people of tho village made tho hinges of the chnreli doors out of the iron of tho nuobor, and they aro still to lx; Been. At nuother time a merchant of Bristol set sail with a cargo for Ireland. Some ; time after this, while the family were at supper, a knife suddenly fall in the win dow on the tat de. When the husband re-, turned he raw tho knife, declared it to be bin owq, and said that, on a certain day, at such an hour, while sliding in an un known pint of the sen, he dropped the knifo overboard, and tho day and hour were known to Ixi exactly the time when it fell through the window. These incidents, (iervaso thinks, are a proof of there being a sea above, banging over ns. A jy oujtv'au yeditor. Two or three years ago I was attached to the Morning Argus, tbo only paper publisod in our village, and, during my engagement, wo employed a- an ns.- i- taut editor a young man named Drinker. When Drinker la-gun bis duties, the manager said to him: ‘‘Moebeie, Drinker, among other things. I want you, whenever you see, in exchanges or any whi 1 es; a good biographical sketch of any promhli lit uiun ( to clip it out aud put it awnyl, so’# when lie dii, you under stand, we can rush it out as an obituary article, ns it wore” Drinker wont to work, and about two months aftei ward some well known man died, and I examined the obituary bureau for the puipoae of obtaining hi# bixtoiy. it was not there, Imt l discovered that the insidious thinker lmd stored away in that mortnaiy receptacle o 0 biographici , l aketeh of John Wesley, ac.illectioii of-aee dotes about Cat‘i>- Putnam, and an essay upon '"Iho Life end Services of John Hancock#!, I commchccd with Drinker upon the subject. “Mr. Drinker," J said, after calling bis attention to tie article about the father of Methodism, “you eeiii.iuly must he aware that John SVeoley died long befou you came into ibis office.” “N-n no!” exelaimod Drinker, with a look of pained surprise in his luce. '‘M b wh-what! John Wesley dead! That great and goi T man gone! Thunder! Why, it’s too bad. J had no idea of such a thing. VV'lmt n shock it must have bgeu to 1 ; s family!” “And as for (len. Putnam, Drinker, it perfectly #l'*uivd for you to pretend that you thought he was alive, you know. Come, now, that a too much!" “is he fact is, 1 ve living down in the country for two or Him* years, and haven't kept run of things. Ar.d so old Putnam's dead. That old man. .Strange, strange, how we are passing aw ay.” “And, Drinker, yotl eerie inly cant he ..noli an idiot as to nave put away this arti cle about Hancock with the expectation that he would di o again. Yxi know he did diu once. Why,- Drumer, ho died aboutjten thousand, yoai-sogo.”, “Come, now !” exelnluied Dnlulaf exult-. iligly, “I’ve got you there. An! ah! Died] 10,000 your.> ago, did lie, stnarty? You know too much. You think everybody’.! a fool but yourself! Dead, ia he? Now, what’s the use of your try ing to stuff that down me, when I know well enough that, Hu. Democrats talk, and Jxntl ruiiidng Kan rock fur the t ", '.ldeiuy at the last election! Oh, pshaw ’ You ain't fit to write for tiny papci Unit's got any sense.” Then Diinkor was diaeharged. I didn't enlighten him. Ifo will probably go do a a to the grave with the firm eonvietnui that (leu. Kaiioock is tho man who set eopy for the mim-rablo penmen who signed tlie DeclaraUunof Independence.-Jfiar A<lSer. A WAEyjyO TO BOYS. A certain doctor, struck with the targe | number of boys under fifteen years of age | whom he observed smoking, was led to inquire ini > tin- (-fleet the habit leal upon the general health. Ho took for his purpose thirty-eight boys, aged from nine 1 to liftcen, and oarofuTy ivuitied them. In twenty-seven of thorn he di.-,covered in jurious traces of tho habit. In twenty two there were diaorders of the circulation and digestion, palpitation of the heart, mid a more or less marked taste; for drink. Iu twelve there was frequent j bleeding a', the nose; they laid disturbed j sleep; aud twelve had slight ulceration oij tho mucous membrane of tho mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from the ; use of tobacco lor some days. The doc tor treated them all for weakness, but with little effect until the smoking was j discontinued, when health and strcngUt' were noon restored. Now, this is no “old j woman's tale,” as tin-tie aro given on mi-' thcrity of the "British Medical Journal." T'li re is a chance now for portionlessydntig 1 orphans to effect marriages and give to the lucky husbands, in addition to themselves, j tho sum of 81,000 a dowry. A society 1 lias been formed for this purpose, in im- j itatiou of the many in existence iu Europe. Iu the old country, however, the benetita t of such a society are not limited to poor Jewish girls in general, and probably, if, the new society attain any success here, its scv]>o will bo similarly enlarged. Its present object is certainly praisworthy. It offers inducements to good girls to enter the married state, without any fear that their poverty will derange them iu the sight of their husbands. Wo have exten sive organizations in which 81.000 ore paid to the widow aud next of kin on the decease of a member, and the law is vastly popular. Why may not an equal popu larity be accorded to this young organize-, tiou, which has a more cheerful object ? Jewish Messemaer. A boy can soil tho reputation of any in dividual, however pure aud chaste* by uttering a suspicion that his enemies will j believe and his friends never hear of. A puff of the idle wind can take a million of tho seeds of a thistle, and do a work of mischief which the husbandman must la- j bor long to undo. Such arc the seeds of a slauder, so easily sown, so di (Boult to gather up, ftid yet so pernicious in their Umri. ! THE BUSINESS MENS VICTORY. | A grand Democratic victory took placo in Oregon tho other day. It was a clean sweep. Democracy tame out handsomely ahead. On that occaolon, it is said, every business u-m in the State, closed np his tw< !umne,jrtflre, factory, oflioe, etc., and I went heart imd noul into the pntrotio work, I and the result was the grand victorious re t form move that Democracy put on tlie re cord. VVe think it would lie well in the great rloetiop day of 1870, when tlie effort w to be made to restore to this nation peace : and prosperity onee-more, to have a total - nspeusioii of all busim is whatever, and id! voters of i ll parties make a full demon stration of their political faith. We have in> fear of the-rexult. Dive tbo Democrat ic party a fair ticket, anil we can roll up a white majority of one million. In 1872 (front received 3.51*7,132 vote*,, of which tHX>,INK) were given by nogroea. Deducting this ffOOJXK) negro votes, left General (f rant2,C‘J7,l32 white votes.
