TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1864.
. av>We might feel tartish towards our
ootampbraiy of the Register, in consequence
of the lack of editorial courtesey which he
exhibits this week, did we not know that
he is a little verdant yet, tfe an editor, and
that, like other lawyers, (especially his
burlycotemporary, after whom he appears
.to copy) who have risen to the dignity of
conductors of acounty paper,he imagines no
one but a lawyer can write editorial. Per
haps, when he ge(S his seat wanned he will
do better. When a man acknowledges a
child as his own he should be treated as
, its lather, even though it should favor some
other man. We shall not retort by say
ing that John Jones Esq., or “any other
man,” writes or suggests the editorials
which appear in the Register against Mr.
flail, but shall always notice the man who
lathers them. To say the least of it, we
think the editor of the Register, by making
. .a:personal reply, takes a mean advantage
of Mr, Hall, by seeking to draw him into
a personal controversy, which would do
Mr. H. no credit, although he might always
be victorious.
It is well known that it was not sympa
thy for Col. Piper, in his removal from the
office of Provoat Marshal of this county,
that induced the attacks on Mr. Hall. It
was only the pretext, the real couse being
a desire to be avenged politically. Neith
er was it for the public good, or even the
good of the party to which the Register
belongs. JK the relations between Mr. H.
and the editor of the Register are as friendly
as the latter would ha^ ro u , believe, he has
a very queer way of sh Jrffffg his friendship:
We woudn’t want more than a dozen such
at one time.
• If the editor of the Register has by, his
late course, opened a breach in his party
through which hisopponents may slip into
the opnnty offices this fall, his friends will
know where to throw the blame. The
opposition are inclined to make the most
ofil, and they would be fools if they didn’t.
We expect to see “sum phun.” While
if is chnatain-like to return good for
evil, we have yet to leam that it is prac
tised in politics.
Dalicate as we feel about intruding our
humble effusions upon the notice of our
itignMwl cotemporary, we considered it
necessary in this, instance. He can make
his next reply to Mr. Hall,or President Lin
coln,or Jeff. Davis, or any one else, with
out .taking uS down in the least.
A word iro the Town Council. —
The time of year when we may naturally
expect warm weather is approaching, and
we suppose no person will dispute with us
the feet that our streets and alleys are not
nay clean. Indeed, without much exaggera
tion, we think the town might be called
:- 1 filthy. The streets run with mud, gutters
' and side walks are in many places , filled by
ash piles, hogs run at large,and some places,
in the very heart of town, the stables and
gtt»Kfe yards >r« in so disgustingly filthy a
that it is almost impossible for
people to live in their dwellings in the
neighborhood, owning to the smell and
•tencib. We.nall on our Burgess and town
Council to immediately meet and pass such
ertinanceg, and enforce them too, as will
oompel tbeae nuisances to be permanency
refeoved and compel residents to keed their
clean, to pen up their hogs, if;
fiyy" will USfo ■« . . mul hy the USB of
lime, &c., endeavour to keepTrotn om
. , juidat the alarming 'diseases' so prevent
in tlfe country just at this time, and which
are, no doubt, in a great measure caused
by a neglect of proper sanitaryjneasures. j
should also have their ’supervisor •
feeu’busy scraping the streets and |
tailing the dirt away. Now is the time.
yffi ,6lol opr boroughauthorities will not;
well known character for zeal
and energy ih private life, when they are '
fplljrnn to act for the public good. If
iheeemeasures are not adopted andenforced
jn addition to the present inconveniences,
we Will probably pay a fearful price for:
neglect, when the warn weather comes. >

Decided.- —The case of -Barnes vs. the
Penn’a R. R., which we noticed in our
last issue as being on trial before Judge
Agnew, of the Supreme Court, has been
decided. The action was brought to re
cover damages alleged by the plaintiff to
have been sustained in consequence of de
fendant failing to keep the .State Canal in
good repair. The plaintiff claimed that
the repars to the canal' were not made as
required by the Act of Assembly, and
hence Ke suffered loss by detention, &c., to
the amount of $10,000.: The company
ianswered that the canal was under bad re
pair when they took possession, and the
policy had been to repair gradually, so as
inot to interfere with the navigation, and
Itffet these repairs have been in pursuance
lof the recommendation of competent engi
neers, and the outlay exceeded the income
!of the canal. After an able and impar
itial charge from Judge Agnew, the jury
retired and shortly brought in a verdict for
: plaintiff of $9,498,60.
The Concert. —Our readers will re
member that the grand vocal and instru
mental concerts, the benefit of the
Soldiers’ Aid Sod*, comes off on Wed
nesday and evenings next, in
the Penn’a R. R. uftjhej. Much time
has been devoted wfßterations for this
affair, and like all otherthings which our
people determine to do, it will be done
right. While we can urge attendance on
the ground that the entertainments will be
worth more than the price of admission,
we can appeal still more strongly since
the proceeds are to be devoted to the ben
efit of our soldiers. This 1 comes home to
the heart of every loyal man or woman,
and every one who can possibly do so,
should purchase a ticket, whether they at
tend or not. Let the ladies engaged in
the affair be properly supported. They
deserve well.
Dissolution. —lt will be seen an by adver
tisement in another column, that the firm
of Murphy & McPike heretofore doing
business as merchants in out town, was
dissolved on the Bth inst. Mri McPike
retains the establishment, and will con
duct the business hereafter, and we be
speak for him a liberal patronage, not on
ly because he ija member of the “art pre
sevative of all arts,” but because he is fair
dealing and has proved himself worthy of
the increased prosperity. The outgoing
partner, Mr. Murphy is a very correct
business man, and a most clever follow
withall, and so long as the “Green Con
-nar” bears his name we hope it will be a
80urce~bt prout auo-|.«. ■■parity JU> him.—
So, good bye, Murphy & McPike.
| Five Feet of Snow Yet. —Don’t look
too soon for spring. Wo understand that
a certain weather prophet, who is more or
less reliable, predicts that there is yet fire
feet of snow to fall before spring. Now
if this should all come at once, during the
present muddy condition of our streets, pe
des triaqism would be exceedingly difficult;
therefore, our citizens should prepare for
any such emergency by immediately pur
chasing a stock of groceries and provisions
at Fritchoy’s cheap store, comer of Caro
line and Virginia streets.

Terrific Boiler Explosion
The Iron Foundry of Merrick & Sons,
Washington street, Philadelphia, was de
stroyed by a boiler explosion, on Wednes
day last. The explosion occurred at about
a’quarter of nine o’clock, when the whole
force of the establishment, about seven hun
dred men, were busily engaged at their
work. The boilers, two in number, were
known as horrizontal tubular boilers, and
were eight feet wide, twelve feet long, nine
feet high, with four furnaces, and twenty
five horse-power each. They were Situa
ted in the centre of a hollow square form
ed by the buildings. The one which ex
ploded was new, and had only been used
some three or four times. At the time of
the occurrence there was a pressure of
fifty-five pounds of Steam —the boiler hav
ing been tested with seventy-five pounds.
While everything was apparently pro
gressing .with, the utmost satisfaction, the
explosion occurred, causing three loud re
ports. The air was immedately filled with
the flying debris of the establishment, which
was scattered in all directions, and large
pieces of iron, brass castings, bricks &C.&C.,
thrown around. Immediately there was
one indescribable scene of confusion. The
workmen dropped their tools and rushed
from the tottering building into the street.
The shock was so great as to be experi
enced at a great distance. The explosion
set fire to the wooden structures, but the
firemen were soon on the spot and extin
guished the flames.
Thg engine house, a structure about 20
feet wide, 12 feet high, 12 feet long, was
knocked to atoifis. The boiler alongside
of the one that exploded was thrown a
number of yards from its position and con
siderably damaged. The engine house was
a fire proof building, with iron girders and
brick arches. The fragments were thrown
in all directions, and those who were in
the place were instantly killed, ground
the boilers everything was one indescriba
ble mass of ruins. The exploded boiler

building was badly atod the glass ' second door from the corner of Virginia and
broken-out. The doors of the drawing , Annie Streets, Altoona,
rooip were blown off, and not a building
on the whole premises escaped without in
jury. The force of the explosion can be
, imagined when it is stated that a portion
, of the iron railing around the Jefferson
; Square, at Fourth and Washington streets,
I was broken down by some of the falling
i ruins.
| When the fact of the explosion and its
| magnitude became known through the lo
i cal telegragh, the Mayor, Chief Buggies,
and a large police force, were soon upon
: the spot. They at once placed a guard
around the building,, and kept the crowd
I but in order that the extent of the damage
i might be learned, and those who had been
i killed and wounded properly cared for.—
J As soon as the explosion occurred, numbers
1 of men were seen rushing out from the
establishment with bleeding hands and arms
1 while others more seriously injured were
1 carried out by their fellow workmen
The firemen were soon on hand, not on
ly with their fire apparatus, but also with
their ambulances, with which they convey
ed the wounded to their homes and to the
hospitals.
The alarm and excitement of the good
people of the neighborhood was, for sev
eral hours, painful and intense. Immedi
ately after the explosion, ipen, women
and children rushed frantically out of doors
and toward the scene of the disaster.
Many feared for the welfare of their
children, who had just departed for school
in the neighborhood, while others momen
tarily expected to hear a succession of
reports.
The lights ot the windows for squares
around were more or less shattered. The
large windows of St. AlphonSus’ Church
were wrecked in a bad manner, and the
expense for repairs in many buildings will
be heavy. *
The large school-house opposite the
foundry, on Fifth street, was well filled
with women and children at the time of the
exploson, and serial concussions shook it to
its foundation. The inmates became terri
i bly alarmed, and in the rush down stairs
a number of little, ones were slightly injur
ed and terribly frightened. ' Fortunately
the teachers were successful in pacifying
the children before many had escaped from
the building, and then by conducting an
orderly egress, prevented any serious ac-
cidents.
About eight hundred persons will be
thrown out of employment by this sad affair.
They are, or soon will be in needy circum
stances, and they comprise a large com
munity of our most deserving, citizens. —
We understand that plans for their relief
have been adopted, and they will be aided
to almost any extent by the proprietors of
the foundry, who are laboring zealously
for the welfare of their unfortunate em
ployees.
The establishment was employed entirely
upon work for the Government, which
was of prime necessity to it. Work can
not be .esumed until the entire building is
repaired, and a new set of boilers put in,
which operation will occupy some eight
1 weeks in its accomplishment.
Paul’s Estimate of Heaven
In speaking of the glories of the eternal
world, the rapture of the apostle does not
escape him as a sally of the imagination,
as a thought awakened by a,sudden glance
of the object; he does not express himself
at random from the sudden impulse of the
moment, but in the sober tone of calcula
tion. “I reckon,” he saysi, like a man
skilled in this Spiritual arithmetic,” “I
reckon,” after a due estimate of their com
parative value, “that the sufferings'of the
present time are not worthy to be compar
ed with the glory that shall be revealed.”
No man was ever so well qualified to
make the. estimate. Of the suffering of
the present world he bad shared more
largely than any man. Of |the glory that
shall be revealed he had a glimpse, grant
ed to no other man. He had been caught
up into paradise! He had heard the
words of God ; and seen the vision of the
Almighty, and the result of this privi
leged experience was, that he “desired
to depart and be with Christ” that he
desired to escape from this Valley of tears ;
that he was impatient to recover the ce
lestial vision, eager to perpetuate .the mo
mentary fortaste of the glories of immor
tality.—Hannah More.
