Powder Mill Blown up.

About 8 o'clock on Monday morning
last, the Kernelling and Glazing Mill
Of the Messrs. Austin, on the Little
Miami, six miles above Xenia, blew up
with tremendous report, completely
destroying the building and the greater
part of the machinery and instantly
killed young man---James Kirkpatrick
who was in the building at the time.
At the time Of the accident, there
was from 1000 to 1900 lbs Of powder
in the miIl--all of which was Of course
consumed. How it became igni,ed is q
mystery which will probably never bs
solved. The machinery was, and had
been standing from the Saturday eve
ming previous, and no fire Of course
vas permitted about the establishment.
Two or thre minuets before the explo-
siou, Mr. George Linkhart had taken a
load Of powder from the Mill to the Dry
House, and had left young kirkpatrick
unemployed, in the mill. Had the ac-
cident occurred three minuets later.
Mr.. l.. and two other men employed
about the mill would, in all probability.
have returned 10, and been blown up,
with il. Their absence was most for
tunate and timely.
Within FIVE minuets Of the accident.
we were at the scene Of disastes, and
the spectacle presented was truly sur
prising. The building was razcd TO its
very foundation stones, and the strong
timbers Of the frame torn apart, twisted
and broken as though they had been
but broom straws, and scattered in eve.
ry direction. The heavy c"g.wheels
OF the mill hs d been blown into the riv-
or to a distance Of some fifty or sixty
yards, and even the large water-wheeI,
outside the building, had been started
from its place. The heavy siils were
piled up on each side Of where the build
ing had stood, and, The solid earth be.
meath torn loose to the depth Of seve-
raj feet.
The shingles, &C., Of the building
were broken into very small fragments.
and covered the ground and filled the
tops OF the trees abou! the place Of the
accident. The body o, young Kirk
patrick, was found in the race some
two hundred feet from the building. the
skull completely crushed. the neck bro
ken, and very much mang'ed and dis.
