Wonderful Escape.
The Haycock Powder-Mills Blown Sky-
High.
On Wednesday morning' last, ‘ about 8
o’clock, the chimney of the drying house at-*
tatehed'to the exierfsive powder-mills of Slbn
ebsk & Deiweiler, in Haycock Township,
took fire, and burned out furiously at the lop.-
Only two or three 1 persons Were In the mill
at rite time; they heard the rear of the fire,
arid fan omt of the building, intendingtopro*
cure buckets, and ascend to the roof With
water'to‘prevent the "shingles (Vom taking
fire. After a moment's reflection, they
thought (he undertaking a hazardous one,
and very prudently abandoned it.- They
made their escape as fast as possible. In a
tew moments the roof was on fire in several
places, and it is said to have been about three
minutes before a spark felt through the shin
gles ipto the main part of (he btiifdihg, where
there was about four tuns of powder, which
of course was instantly Ignited, and the whole
mill wos blown sky-high, a part of which
has not since been seen. The explosion was
terrible, and shook the country for mites
around. It wns distinctly heard, the jar felt,
and a cloud of smoke observed, at Plumstead
vide, Price’s Tavern, and Doylestown. Mr,
Gbarles Roudenbbsb,' a farmer of Haycock,
was plowing in-bis field at the time of the
explosion. "He informs Us that the effect on
him-was of n stuhnibg nature, and the earth
trembled undOr his feet The most fortunate
circumstancA connected with the terrible cat
astrophe is that no one wa* killed. John
Stoneback, Sen., saved himself by getting
behind 0 large tree, lesstharva hundred yards
from the fated spot. One or two other per
sons,-who were about Iho milt at the time;
mad# their'ttampers give “a long pull, a
sitting “pirih ahd a pull altogether,"' and suc
ceeded in making ihoir : e* rape-from' the irt
fernal rnac’hihe. : Thtf powder-mill belonged
to John T. Stoneback and Samuel Deiweiler,
and is nfcnr the oil-mill of John Stoneback,
Sen. They are all situated on (ha Tohicon
Creek, and near the toad leading from Doy
lestown to Richiandtown. The loss is vari
ously estimated by different persons. TbO
lowest estimate we have beard is 8500, and
the highest 85,000. -r* Doylestown (Da,,)

Not (be township, but the. Spi—pshaw!
Talking of spiders has bewitched me.—That
.thing which has been blowing hs venom from
the spiders oea- there again! I name new
calling your “neighbor” a spider’s nestl—
blowing its venom at Judge Wilntot; r.Well,
what’s the use of being, mealy mouthed!
David Wilmot—God bless him—baa helped
to tear up 'the old spider net—and the.spiders
are down upon him’’—pity they have no
wings ? This might be a gossamer spider.
You can find teuch an one many a sun shiny
morning on the top of a fence:post, with his
unseemly part elevated towards-the sun, and
projecting, frond his bowels, one or more in.
definite “yarns,” the levity Whereof, carries
the spider out of sight, and that’s the last you
sdo of him.
"The Yam.”
' David Wil mot wrote a letter to Simon Cam
eron—which letter was too polite to suit the'
fades; as the spiders try to believe, but not
quite polite enough (O' suit the Spiders. So
(he spiders alter the letter, making it still
more polite, and fn that important (farm pub
lish it. This forgery don’t seem to make the
spiders bhish—why should it? Spiders don't
blush. They can’t blush. They don’t know
what n blush is, only by the color. It wss
so natural for them to commit a forgery and
to betray private confidence, that they did
not think of denying it, nor did any one think
of putting them on trial. But; they wanted
something of David Wilmot more dallering
than genteel treatment, and that they could
not get: Therefore they roust kill h ; m—a
thing easy to accomplish when spiderdom
was strong and-prosperous; but, difficult now.
Spiders saw (bey had not power to hurt him
“with'their own weapons,” and they appeal
to the bees to lake up the quarrel. “Only
see how complaisant he is to spiders!”—
“Bo t, in what character do you speak—Mr.
Spider ?■ ‘ Are you- trying io be a bee! ‘ Or
is if spiders work you are coaxing us to do 1”
Dropping metaphor. There was nothing
in the position of David Wilmot or of Simon
Cameron When the letter was written, to
stamp ady part of the letter with impropriety,
. much less treachery or infidelity, to any par
ty, ~A«d (his (uss about (the ■ letter is alls
spider business—disgraceful even to spiders.
