Erhiosion.-On Saturday morning last,
about eight o'clock, the glazing and busting
mills at the powder works of Mr.. Garesche,
opposite this Borough, were blown up.
The sheck was sensibly felt throughout this
vicinity; and at N. Castle the conclusion was
so great that doors which stood open were
closed. We are happy to state that but one
person Ca cololred man engaged in the mil)
was killed his naked and mutilated body
was found few PAGES from the scene of ruin.
Four of seven fine horses, which had been
employed in this department, were killed.
We saw the unfortunate proprietor on the
spot. Amid the cloud of sorrow that set
upon his countenance, caused by the serious
pecuniarv loss which he has a second time
sustained, beam of jov was visible for the
happy escape of his industrious and venture
some work 'nen, who, Notwithstanding the
unhappy fate of many of their fellow labour-
ers. who about three years ago, ON the same
spot, met most unhappy fate, were will
ing again to hazard their lives by continu-
ing in his employ. Much credit is due to
the enterprising and Industrious proprietor
of this establishment, for his humane atten-
ton to the relics of the unfortunate men,
who, at that time, lost their lives.
We again acknowledge the very polite at
tention of the Clerk Of the Senate, for his
second communication, containing the pro-
ceedings of that body. We have perused
them. and selected such parts as we conceive
to be most interesting to our readers, which
are here subjo,ned.
