ANOTHER Locomotive ExPLosIoN.-We have
been informed that another explosion occurred on
the railroad near Port Clinton, a few days ago.
under precisely similar circumstances with the
one which occasioned the disastrous loss of life
on the I'd Of September last, and which Dr. Lard
ner, in very laborious report, attributed to the
effect of lightning. The engine had taken in its
supply of water, and had heavy pressure Of
steam, when the engineer discovered by pecu-
liar kissing, that an explosion was about to take
place, and at once leaped from it and passed
down the embankment. He had scarcely done
so, when the engine exploded, scattering the ma
chinery in all directions Very fortunately no
one was injured. An examination of the cause
attributes the explosion to the weakness of the
stay across the fire box, being too light to bear
the pressure of steam required, The engine was
built by Mr.. Baldwin, and had previously worked
well. The company, we learn, have taken meas
ures to examine all their engines, and guard
against future accidents from the same cause
