Yesterday morning at half past six o.
clock, an explosion took place at the ex-
tensive Powder Mandatory Of Messrs.
Moses Hale aud Co. at Chelmsford. We
have to announce the melancholy fact that
John Ives Of Sudbury, and Levi Marshall
of Chelmsford, were Instantly killed, and
Nathaniel Marshall. brother TO the last,
and Sherburu Chase of Litchfield, N. H.
were dangerously wounded. These we're
workmen, and entered the mill bat an To-
slant before the explosion. The loss OF
property is comparatively small, less than
$1,000, as the Stamping Mill aud Corn
ing House only blew up. The magazines
aud other buildings in which we're the
principal quantities Of powder, being at
some distance remained uuinjured. The
two buildings which blew mp were about
fifteen yards apart. II is impossible to
determine at present which first exploded,
or what was the cause. We understand,
that this accident win not materially in

Lowndes, receive it-vote FOR it--an,J LET
