We offer no other apology for occupying a

would not mipd him, and now,, jie shows
Fpunk, and required them to perform what
they had resolved to do. This reminds us
of the man who boasted of having a dog
that would always obey h'is cotrimands,
and to prove it, he directed him to lay

Jlwful catastrophe. On Thursday
morning, about six o'clock, a keg of powder
exploded in a dwelling house in Norwegian
street, Pottsville, the effects of which were
frightful beyorid'description. Five persons
we're dreadfully burnt, three of whom have
sincc died, and the recovery of the remain
ing persons is considered doubtful. Two
op. three others -were also burnt, bdt not
dangerously. We learn from the Miner's
Journal, that the explosion occurred in the
following manner.' one of the rrien went in
to the middle of the' room, to fill his flask
with ,' powder frqm the keg. -While in the
act of dbing this, another was lighting his
pipe with an igqited stick and approached
to converse a spark new oil into the pow
der, and the whole1 exploded. The front
of the house was thrown out several inches,
so that it becanio necessary to prop ' it. A
man standing in the. door vayu was thrown
out against the palirig. The deceased are
a hired girl, an old man. -and a boy, who
died after suffering the most excruciating
agonies.
Tho sight of the sufferers was heart ren
ding their blackened faces, lacerated bod

harrowingto the feelings of the beholder.
