SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Hartford. Can. October 19.


A rare and fearful case of Spontaneous combus-
ton, is now going on in this city. Mr. Hanks, the
proprietor of the air Furnace at Dutch Point, had
deposited, during the month of August last about
$500 bushels Of Virginia Coal, in his Coal House,
situated at end of the main building, under the
mould room. From this heap constant use has
been made for the supply of the Furnace, without
observing any thing peculiar until the 18th of the
present month, (October,) when the smell having
excited the attention of the workmen the heap was
opened and found to be in state of ignition to q
considerable extent. Several upright posts which
support the floor above and which are surrounded
by the Coal, found to be completely charred
two OF three inches deep, if not entirely through.
The Coal House is without floor, and consequent
ly the Coal rests on the ground and to this circum
stance, it is most probable the combustion is owing.
MIR. Hanks states, that the Coal, when deposited in
its present situation, perfectly dry, and that
neither moisture nor any substance could have been
introduced from above. 1t is most probable, there
fore, that the combustion is in consequence Of The
heat produced by the absorption of the oxygen Of
the water, from the ground, by the sulphur and iron
contained in the Coal. II this is the proper expla
nation, floor Of boards instead OF ground floor,
would have prevented the combustion.
