THE EXPLOSION AT THE BnOONIELAW.—We
have reason to believe that a third person lost his life from
the late disastrous explosion of the boiler of the Ploler
steamer at the Broomirla,. A carpenter, who was intend-
ing to proceed to Dumbarton to work there, was seen on
board the steamer, near to the funnel, immediately before
the explosion, and has not been heard of since. There are
parties who state that they saw his body tossed into the air
and falling into the river. When it is borne in mind that
there was a strong current in the river, it i.. not improb.i-
ble that the body may have been carried out to sea. This
makes the third individual who has lost his life by the
accident.—Wasgote Courier.
