Ak Explosion. At aboit 11 o'clock this

by tho report of an explosion seomingly
from Picrson farm. In this country where
there me so granny inllguitnalile materials
and explosions ora serious character so oftcu
occur, a report of this kind, draus out
inquiries. We find the cause ot this oxplo
sion as lollows : Mr. Musun, wishing to
dispose of a lot of old cans that had for
merly coutained glycerine, and siill retain
ed enough of thai highly explosive urLiclc
(Sticking to the sides of tlie cans to mnk it

was huruluj down, sonio little concu-.-iion

io turn exploded all iho olhcii. No burin

Public meetings for the relief of the Avon

The Great Vosemite Bitters. The
manufucturo of and the demand for this
popular Bittora- is daily increasing, and it
finds favor in every market where it lias
been introduced., The only "trade-mark,"
in our opinion, this popular tonic noeds, is
a more extended system of advertising, and
benco a far groater demand. Wjth judi
cious advertising, such as every popular
medicine is receiving or has received that
is, asystem of advertising that will place its
name before the peoplo of evory State in
the Union which requires a small amount
morecapttal than is at present invested In
it by its p:oprietor, nnd .the income will
yoarly increase, until the sales compare
with other medicines of a diffjront nature
that are now beloro tbo public, yielding im
mense incomes to those who are so fortu
nate as to be connected with their manufac
ture. It is surprising bow rapidly the de
mand lor tbo groat Yosomite Bitters has
increased tinoo its proprietor first introduc
ed it, and we vunture to say that, should
u sufficient amoutit of capital becomo inter
ested iu its maniifuclure, it would prove to
bo one of tho bust paying inrestiuoiits in
which a limited amount of money could be
placed. We thronr out these suggestions,
not knowing whother the proprietor, Dr.
J. W. Downer, will approve or not, but we
bavu had our say, and now he can have bis.

Live Rat in a Boy's Stomach. The

little fellow, as stated by the mother, had
been plying about the yard, when feeling
no doubt uncomfortable, he came to his
mother and displayed restlessness and sick-nes.-,
with frequent evidenc:1! of strangula
tion, exciting the mother's tears that some
thing serious was about to transpire. After
great exertion, he threw up,-to all intents
nnd purposes, an actual living rut, which
solar ns tho mother could toil, might have
been swallowed t.y the liov.biit in what woy
