About ten o'clock on Thursday morning week, an
explosion of gal took place in a new house, now in course of
finishing, in St. Saviour-gate, in York. M. Townsend,
st nern4son, and some of his men, went into the cellar, one of
them having a lighted candle, and as soon as they entered the
explosion teik place. Seven squares of glass were broken in
the cellar window, and the ceiling was considerably damaged,
being nearly all brougi►t down. Fortunately the men escaped
with no other injury than having their hats forced off their
kinds; but a boy, named flare, was scorched in the face,
though not a wuy likely to be of any serious consequence.
The cause of the accident is supposed to have been, that the
tap of the gas-light had not been sufficiently turned, and thus
the gas hLd escaped and filled the cellar. —Hull Observer.

try, about the country, was a widower, and has left seve-
ral children.
