I The blast was prepared and the fuse ignited; but not going off immediately, they came to the conclusion that it hod gone out, when yonng Mans ventured forward and commenced blowing the fuse, in the act of doing which it exploded. Hisface was shockingly bnmed, and it was feared at first that he would lose both his eyes. Fortunately Ms injuries were not so serious ns was apprehended, and with proper care pad at tention he will recover with a badly scarred face.

Neabit, of &iis place, was severely bitten on the leg and orin bjr a fe rocious dog in the yard of Mr. Smith. It ap pears the little girl attempted to take something out of a backet which stood In the yard, where upon the dog broke the chain with; which he was tied and seised her. With considerable difficulty the dog wee beaten off and the girl conveyed home wherever wounds were dressed and she is now doing well. The dog was after wards shot and killed. 19* The attention of those who ore troubled with “ aching voids,” is. requested to the adver tisement of our yonng friend, Dr. Bittner, who has now a process for extracting teeth without pain. This is certainly a very important dis covery and must make >a fortune for the Br. in a very short time. A number of those who have tried the process attest that they felt no pain. Killed bi Lightning. —An aged man named Solomon Wolfe, was killed by lightning during thestorm on Tuesday afternoon of lost week. Whilst engaged in ploughing in a field, near- Ca noe ip this county. The electric fluid penetrated the top . of. his head and passed out at lue feet, producing instantaneous death.— Standard. , Messrs. Editors: —l saw it stated in the “ Pen-and-Scissors” column of last week’s Tri bune, that "Large hoops are now only worn by the under cruet." Wituout,saying that I endorse that statement, I will relate a little incident that occurred recently while travelling by stage, which is too good to keep. While passing a certain bouse, a girl, apparently about eighteen years of age, came running out, and beckoned to the stage driver to stop. Her hair was hang- ing in disheveled masses about her naked shoul ders ; her face and neck were literally covered with dirt; her hands and anus, ditto; her clothes, all tattered and torn, were saturated with grease or something else. She had no shoes or stockings on her feet. In short, she was the most filthy looking female I had ever seen. After talking a short time, with the stage driver, she banded him twenty-fire cents, and said: “Bring me a quarter’s worth of the biggesi hoops you can find!” We had to laugh right out, notwithstanding oiir attempts to prevent it. Of course she had as good a right to wear large hoops as the rest of her sex, and I believe she would look just as well in them top, after she would put pn long stockings to hide the dirt from the vulgar gaze of the world. PURSER HANSTOBPOF. B®r» The chief engineer of the Rending rail road has prepared a comparative table, showing the per centage of wear and tear, i>hd the pro portion pf breakage, on the English nnd the American rails. On the 601 b. nuC the wear’ on the English was 37 to 47 ; on the American, 14 to 12 per cent; the breakage on the English, 1 bar in 89 to 1 in S 2, and on the American 1 bai rn 427 to lin 843. It is stated that the cur rent purchases of cheap rails in England, for American roads,' are made one-third cinder and slag. The refuse of former forgings and cas tings is thrown into the new work, and the slag dud binders, in which the proportion of silicia renders the iron wholly unfit for purposes re quiring strength and solidity, are reworked with a shore of new iron, to fill the American contracts at low prices. Boiler plates ore also manufiiotared .of iron of the most inferior de scription. s Effects or tub Cbev asses —The New Or leans Picayune, in reviewing the effects of the recent floods, remarks the town of Gretna is still under water, with the exception of a couple , of squares.
