LAKE CHAMPLAIN. Since the opening OF the
navigation Of this Lake, the northern travel has
been greater than at any former period, so early
in the season. Steamboats, and canals are crowd
ed; and we are assured by those who are con-
versant with this business that not less than SIX
hundred day are now passing over the Cham'
plain Canal, independent of the different stages
which leave Whitehall.-.4b. Argus.
1t appears that the vote in New York upon the
License question was only in part of the towns.
The law provides that new vote may be taken
each wear in towns where one fourth of the vo-
tiers shall request the question to be tried again
of course such towns only as were more
strongly in favor of License asked for another
trial hence the reason why a larger por ton
of them voted at the late election for licences.
MosT SINGULAR EXPLOSION. A very unhap-
py occurrence in Stacking lime. Mr.. John Ha-
zen of West Hartford, attempting few weeks
since TO slack some lime for whtewash with hot
water in boiler on stove, had reduced the
whole, as he supposed, to liquid, but on adding
another Upper of water, the whole exploded
about the room, throwing some of it with great
force against the ceiling-nnd in the face and
eyes of Mr.. Hazen, destroying both of mis- eyes
and so badly burning him that his life was de-
SPARED of at the last accounts. 1t is supposed
that some OF the lime must have remained dry at
the bottom of the boiler, thus causing an explo-
sion by adding the water when the lime had been
heated.-Woodstock Mercury.

added to the New York Canals the present sea

say $500. These, at so feet in length to each
boat, would make line OF boats over fifty three
miles in length.
DR.. A. c. benson, says the Galveston News of
the 2lst, direct from Cherokee county, in the vi
cinity o! Shelby, where the late dreadful case of
poisoning happened, informs us that the wedding
party were probably poisoned by accident, the
proprietor of the house having given arsenic in

DR.. James II, Starr. of Nacogdoches. was sent
for, who has written letter stating that seven
teen out of the fifty -four poisoned had died a.

ty more are considered in very dangerous stu
a;ion,-.N o. Della.

gave it," No doubt was entertained here of the
decease; and the feelings of relatives and friends
at such discovery cannot for one moment be

on the most ndubtabe authority, that the mel
aucholy facts are correct.
