AN ExPLosIoN--A gentleman in a
neighboring town put unslacked lime
into IA barrel with water to cleanse it,
bunged up the barrel, and commenced
shaking 1t. In short time il burst
with powerful explosion, burning his
face most shockingly, and bruised his
head badly by contact with the flying
slaves. The bursting was probably
occasloned by the expansive power of
steam, generated in the process of
Stacking the lime. This may serve as
caution to others. -Norhompton Gaz.

Dear Slr,--l avail myself of an ex-

on Navy Island evacuated last night

From personal examination, / am
satisfied that the six or seven hundred
gun shot and shells thrown upon the
Island, killed but one man. The En-
gllsh force it is believed, lost sixteen
killed by the return fire. Gov. Mar

that existing laws permit TO maintain

Lockport.-As much has been said in Detroit,
in and out of the Legislative hall, about Lockpor,
in this county, some of the members of the le-
gislature may be led to believe that it is 4 very
large and important place. 1t iswith regret that
we have to refor to the subject for the preprietors
of the place are most of them our personal
friends but as the Importance Of Lockport is
used as an argument, before the investigating
committee, in favor of relocation of the SOUTH
ern railroad we feel bound, in justice to the CON-
missoners and the committee, to state that there
are seuen buildings there, including shantees,
and it contains, probably, a population of from
twenty-five to thirty. The proprietors say they
have a good water power. We have no doubt
a good water power can be obtained there, by ex-
pending large sum of money; but as long as
there are other water powers equally as good, II
not far superior, much easier imp owed, some OF
which are already improved, in other parts of the
county, it will hardly be an object to improve thai
water power at present.
We should not, probably, have referred 10 the
subject, had we not understood, that during the
examination of witnesses, before the Legislative
committee, one witness described the place ant
water power in the most glowing terms, and for
got to say that the water power had not been I'm
proUed.

The Patriots.--We have heard various rumors
with regard % the asscmbage Of Patriot forces
at G;bralter, tue head of Lake Ere. Some say
they number six hundred, son,o thousand, and
some even more. We presume il is true that there
is patriot force there, and probably the same per-
sons who were assembled OF Navy Island; and
it is believed shlt they havo crossed into Canada
before this. If So thy have, no doubt, taken
N ldsn, for it is fair to presume that they have
net walked four or five hundred miles, suffering
with cold and hunger, for nothing. The truth Isl
they are 4 rcsolut, SCI of fellows. and wo beli'v
they will either accomplish their design, or die in
the attempt. A a, express was sent through IRON

The Calhoun County Patriot comes out upon
the people of St. Joseph county for "instruct-
ing" Mr.. Bradford to sustain the southern rail-
road as located. The editor, when he penned that
article, must have been aware of the mistake
which we made in publishing the proceedings of
tho St. Joseph county meeting. in inserting the
word instructed" instead Of requested" as
we corrected it in our next paper and Inc had
ample time to have received it before the article
referred TO, appeared in his paper. The editor,
furthermore comes out and sustains Mr. Brad
ford in the course he has taken in the Senate
We are not surprised that the editor of that paper
should admire Mr.. Brldford's course, for il has
been exactly in unison with that pursued by the
members of the central counties; some of them,
however, go little farther than Mr.. Bradford
dare go We learn that one or two of the cen
tral members have gone so far as to out bold.
" and say that the state mould nerer build three
railroads across the state. What did those men,
bcrs do then resolution was offered to suspend
operations upon the central road They went
to man, we. believe, against 1t; yet, when the
resolution, for a suspension of operations upon
the southern read, was ponding, they went, to
man, for it.
The editor is probably aware of the fact, that
the resoluton.for suspension Of operations up.
on the southern road, which passed the house Of
representatives, proposed TO suspend operations
until ordered 10 re.comnence by the same body
and he also probably knows that Mr. Bradford

advocated the passage Of the resolution in the
sonats, and was advocating it up to the last dates
received from Detroit, previous TO the meeting
ferred to. Now, we would ask any candid rea-
sonable man, if this resolution, had it passed. in
that shape. would not have tendency to cripple,
if not entirely destroy the southern railroad
The people of this county had just cause for
being alarmed, during the tendency of that reso-
lution--and being ever ready to assemble and con-
suit together to unite upon some plan for assert
ing their rights, and protecting their interests,
they accordingly met together on the 25th Janu-
airy, and then and there censured Mr.. Bradford
for the course he had taken, which sentiment was
unanimously responded to by large and res
pectable meeting, composed Of men who made the
greatest exertion to ensure the election OF Mr..
Bradford but who were satisfied that he had not
respected the interests and rights Of the mass OF
his constituents. The people of this county do
not take steps hastily, but well consider what will
be the effects and final result of all they d.
When they find that they cannot get along with
out advice, they will probably call on the editor
of the Calhoun County Patriot.
