STEAM EXPLOSION ON CONNECTICUT
RIVER.- We learn from the Journal of
Commerce of yesterday that the tow boat
Greenfield, on the Connecticut, blew upl
on Monday last, near Northampton. At,
the time of the explosion she had four,
freight boats in tow, and had stopped to
attach a fourth. Both boilers burst at th•
same time, and the boat was so much rent
that she sank immediately, carrying down
one of the freight boats, in six feet water.
The captain (Crawford)was thrown high
in the air, and fell upon his head inane of
the freight boats and survived but a few
hours. The engineer(Mr Wood)was kit
ed outright in the engine teem, and one
of the firemen was thrown some distance,
but tell in the water and was not material
ly hurt. Mr Lallin, the inventor and con.
structor of the boilers, was on beard for
the purpose of observing their *vet ation,
and was so severely wounded that there
vms little reason to hope for his recovery.
Two or three of the men belonging to the',
freight boats were slightly injured• The
smoke pipe of the steamer was throwne
.tto an adjoining field, The Greenfield
belonged to Stockbridge, Allen, Root &
Co, and cost about $lO,OOO.
