100 yards off, and in nearly a parallel line with the

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
For Worcester South District,
Hon. JOHN DAVIS.
For Worcester North District,
Hon. JOHN LOCKE,
Hon. JOSEPH G.. KENDALL.

The Election for Representative to Con.
grtess is at hand, and we would earnestly re-
quest those, who approve the course which
has thus FAR been pursued by our present Rep
resentative, and who believe that the interest.
of the district will be promoted by his re-elec-
tion, TO go to the polls, and, in the exercise Of
the highest prerogative of lreemen, to testify
their appreciation by their ballots. 1t is true
that no opposition is publicly made, yet that
is ncexcuse for neglect. In the exercise of a
delegated authority, it must afford, not only
satisfaction, but encouragement to renewed
exertions, in any public officer, to find himself
cordially and efficiently sustained by his con.
stituents. 1t is also important that a full vote
should be given, in order to avoid the possibil.
Ity OF having TO make new trial. If a gem
eral apathy should prevail, under an Impress
ION that there is no occasion for any exertion,
II would be in the power of a few individuals
in two or three towns, by a combined effort.

A most disastrous explosion of 1400
barrels of gunpowder, has desolated the
town of Ostend. This dreadful Circum-
stance took place at ten O'Clock, 10 the
morning, when the greatest part of the
people were about, and all who were
moi killed, were either wounded or pan
ic struck. The killed amounted to for
~, chiefly soldiers the wounded almost
innumerable. Nearly every house was
damaged, many unroofed, and several
rent from top to bottom. Stones and
bricks we're thrown to adistance of three
miles one man in boat, had his head
completely taken off; and another his
arm, at mile distant. Several poor
meD fishing near the magazine, were
killed Instantly. 1t is not ascertained
how the accident happened, but it was
thought to be the work Of an incenda-
ny. Six hundred barrels of powder had
been removed the day previous, or the
consequences would have been still more
dreadful.

week through Whte6eld, in Coos Coun-

received from her the following rela-
tion-that being alone, and hearing a
noise among the geese, she ran out, aAd
found strange bird had seized the gam

owl, but living in the woods she would
not be ightened by an o1pl, and fearless
