StxotTLAR Frkak A loud explosion
nbuul half past 9 o'clock Inst eveniog, eaus
d considerable excitement en the street as
to the oause. An Inquiry into the cause de
veloped tbe following lingular circumstan
ces: It appear! that the workmen st well
No. 6, DalseM farm, a drilling well, bad
lost a temper fcrow In the bole In wbat ia
known at tbe hill rock, at a doptb el about
70 Ibet from tbo surface, a,d bad let a light
down for the purpose ol discovering in what
position tbo tool liy in order to get it out.
Tbo light had got down in tbo woll a abort
distance when an explosion of gas occur
red, and now comes tbe singular part of tbe
story. Almost simultaneously with tbe ex
plosion in No. 0, an explosion occurred in
well No. 2, ML Moriab lease, McCray lann,
which is at least 40 rods distant from tbe
other well, knocking tbe driller from bje
' ' seat and injuring biin quilo severely, set
ting lira to tbe derrick sud upsetting tblngd
in general. At the same time oo list (ban
bait a dozori jets of fUme shot up in tbe air
from a many different placet on the aide
hill, rosembling from a distance the twink
ling of tbe camp (Ires ol an army. For a
time it looked at if tbo. wells on tbo side
i hill would be destroyed, but through tbe
exertions ot tbe engineers tbo fires were
extinguished, gome ot the citizttn resid
ing on tbe Egbert farm were considerably
figbtenod at tbe prospect of being again
burned out, and one individual thought tbo
world was coming to an end and began to
prepare himself accordingly. Another
Might explosion, noting in the same wsy,
centred at 12 o'clock, und still another one
t 9 o'clock tbis morning, it was a alngu

The autumn dayt aro wsnlng, and tbe gold
is on tbe leaf.
Tbe gold and crimson tint that paints
with splendor bright and brief
The grand old oaks. Tbe copper-red Is on
the bending beach,
The brown nuts rustle ripe and full above
tbe schoolboy's reach.
The twallowe gather 'neath the eaves; tbe
first dull, cloudy day
Will bear tbem all, oo eager wings, to sun
nier climes sway;
So It (soft, with us, alas! Our brief, bright
- summer ends,
Comet winter resolute snd stern; sway
troop summer friends.
The last rote bluabes on her stem, In beauty
all alone, '
Weeps summer gone, and sighs upon her
solitary throne,
So it Is with nt st life's end. What reck,
v 1 or pomp, or gold,
II hairs grow gray, and we, without tome
light of love, grew old?
Frty God, there be not one of tit, wbo
, ever be may be,
Without tome friend whom be may love,
tome child upon his kneel
True love nod friendship over sblno, with
lustre all their own,
Since man was never made to live, and
work, and die a lone.
