TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. "A earful
explosion took place in The village Of
PItss6sld, Macs, last week, which is
thus described in letter, dated
pIrrsPIELD, Monday, July 10.
Last Thursday night, We experien-
ced one Of the most terrific explosions
ever witnessed here before. Ii appea-
led that the Powder Magazine, contai-
ming 500 lbs. Of powder, was fired by
some daring villains, and the damage
it did was truly terrible. The maya
zine was situated in the burying ground,
nearly in the centre Of the village, and
every building within 100 rods, was
more or less injured. One house, oil
BRICK, owned by N. Strong, about five
rods from the Magazine, was damaged
about 5000. The roof was very much
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. all broken in
the walls moved some inches--the
barns and sheds nearly Frustrated,
&c.
The large brick school house was al.
so considerably injured, sash, windows
and doors broken n--fences and woo.-
house Observation-Disclosures were driven
through the walls-stones weighing
800 weight were carried ten or twelve
rods. Tbs Congregational, Baptist
and Episcopal Churches, Town House
Medical Institution and Boarding house
and most OF the windows, sash and all
broken in. The damage OF the Medi
cal Institution is irreparable. TIL.
Museum attached, which is considered
one Of the most valuable in the U. S.,
is very much injured.
The Hotel Of Warmer and Russell,
Hotel Of l.. Brown, Buel a. Colts store,
Buckleys' store, Printing Office of P.
Allen 81 Son, were also very much in
jured, besides many dwelling houses.
And it is miracle that there was no
ono killed. 1t causes great deal OF
excitement; several have been arres-
ted under suspicion. The boys in the
village have been engaged, all sum-
NOR, in every kind Of mischief, such as
firing cannon in the night, &c. &C.,
and probably the same ones have fired
the magazine. Piitsfeld village looks
gloomy with the windows all out of the
buildings, and others Frustrated. The
damage is estimated at $4,000. The
noise of the explosion was heard four
teen miles or more.
