MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

An explosion took place at eleven O'Clock yester-
day morning, at Eden Park Ponder Mills, situated
on the south side OF Christiana Creek about mile
from this Borough. The shock was sensibly felt in
town, and as the works are in view, the cause was
quickly ascertaincd +; when our citizens, and the
several Fire Companies with their engines and hose
FASTENED to the of distress with an aacrity for
which too much praise cannot be conferred upon
them but, we blush for the credit OF our town
whilst we state it, when they arrived at the Chris
tiana Bridge, they found the gates closed against
them, and Mrs WARNER, the Keeper, flinging
her like fury, insisting that they should pay
toll before they crossed Whether all complied
with her requsition we cannot say however we
know that toll was received from many Such con-
Duct al such time, from one of that sex to whom
we taught to look up, in distress, minister
ing angels" fills US with disgust Truly there is
something connected with this Bridge, which calls
loudly for reformation. The public good-the hon
or OF Borough demand it. Is the Keeper or the
Company in fault |? or both?
The bright silvery cloud which arose in awful
grandeur from the ruins, recalled 10 the minds Of
our citizens former accidents of similar nature,
and told them 10 prepare to behold scene OF hor-
ror and distress TO hear of fatherless children and
widows, and the beieaved, upon whom the morning
sun shone in their happiness, and TO whom it was to
set in all the dreariness of their desolation. The
prospect wasaindeed Notwithstanding. Six feless
bodies of the workmen presented themselves TO view
in the fields adjacent to the works. whittier they had
been carried by the force of the explosion. Seven
we're badly hurt. Hopes are entertained of the re.
covery of some Of them. Two horses were killed.
We are happy to state that the proprietor, Mr..
Garesche, and his family escaped unhurt. We have
not ascertaned the amount of his loss. The fire be-
gan in the Pressing Mill. The building which con
tanned the greater part of the powder did not ex-
plode, or the destruction would have been much
more extensive.
