FRESH ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESEVRTS.—WEI
read in the Penegolo of the 9th October : —According to
the present appearance of Mount Vesuvius there is every
prospect that this year, like the last, we shall have the im-
posing sight of a new eruption. Within a few days the
detonations from the mountain have continued with in-
creasing frequency, accompanied by violent discharges of
lava and burning stones. Last night, after a slight undu-
lation of the soil, the cone formed by the late eruption.
opened from the summit to the base and ejected a large
quantity of lava in the direction of north and west, closely
following the path traced for the convenience of visitors
to the mountain. The current of lava reached last night
the place called Altio del Cavallo, and continues its on-
ward movement, accompanied by a fall of minute black
sand or ashes. There aro symptoms of increasing
activity in the instruments used at the Observatory, where
the celebrated Professor Palmieri, with his indefatigable
zeal for scienc-, has established himself permanently in
order to complete the series of observations elaborated
during the long period of the last eruption.
The Naples Observer, Oct. 10, says :—On Mon-
day evening last we first noticed a change in the aspect
of Vesuvius ; from the mountain of Castellammare we
distinguished an occasional red glare over the mouth of
the crater. On Tuesday at daybreak all signs of ac-
tivity appeared to have ceased, a very faint column of
thin white smoke being all that was noticeable. On Tues-
day evening, however, the labouring of the mountain was
plainly perceptible, each outburst giving forth a jet of
flame, and on Wednesday a column of smoke somewhat
more dense inclined us to believe that an eruption was
not an impossibility. In the evening our conjectures
were verified, for at dusk a magnificent stream of
lava was seen flowing down in the direction of the
Altio del cavallo, whilst from the crater jets of fire
might be seen issuing at very short intervals, and the
detonations could be distinctly heard in Naples. The
same paper says the cultivation of rice is being introduced
into the province of Capitanata, and we understand a
large property in the neighbourhood of Foggia has lately
been, purchased for that purpose by a company formed
in North Italy.
FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION OF NITRO-GLYCERINE. --••
URBANA, Ouio, Sept. 30.—Yesterday morning our citizens
were startled by a sharp report, as of an explosion of can-
non, which appeared to be right in our midst, shaking
and swaying the buildings and breaking the window
glass. In an instant every ono was astir to see, if pos-
sible, the cause of the tremendous report. They
ran to the railroad yards, supposing it to be an engine.
Finding nothing in this city, they came to the conclusion.
it must have been the explosion of the Atlantic and Great.
Western train, No. 6, which bad only been gone some fif-
teen minutes. Hundreds took the track. and went some
seven miles east, when the flames of burning cars met their
eyes. It was ascertained that the car next to the engine
had exploded with a terrific report, completely demolishing
the engine and four cars, setting fire to the train,and soon con-
sumed nearly the whole of it. Ten cars were burned to
ashes loaded with flour and pork. The next car to the
engine which exploded was loaded with pork, and the
supposition is that nitro-glycerine was in some way
smuggled into it, which caused the explosion, and the
serious injury of the engineer, Harry Whipple. The
report was tremendous; had the whole train been loaded
with powder, it could not have been so loud. An iron rail
was thrown 300 yards from the track, and bent double by the
force. A house a quarter of a mile from the wreck was
almost demolished, and the vibration came with such.
force that timbers flew in every direction, and telegraph.
,wires were thrown down for about 600 yards. A gentle-
man from Marysville says the shock received there seemed
as if within a few feet of them. It was also heard five
miles beyond Marysville, thirty miles from the wreck.

In the Boston International Cricket Match the

The American Twenty-two scored 39 in their. first

The Barre flood, Massachusetts, occasioned severe
loss. The damage to the town in bridges and highways
being calculated at $25,000. Among the mills carried away
were those of Henry Wilkins, Dexter Dennis, Luke L.
Knight, E. L. Pierce, and Nelson Loring, and in most
cases no vestige was left to show where the building had
stood. None of the property was insured against this
class of accidents, and some of the sufferers are completely
ruined. No lives Were lost.
