VESSEL BLOWN UP-We understand that the
schooner Republican, of Plymouth N c. got blowed
up at the mouth of Pasquotank River on Tuesday
last. She had got far Perquimans River, on
her way to Colerain, when she got aground, and in
getting off received such damages as to induce the
Captain to put back to E. City to repair. She
reached the mouth of the Pasquotank at about 10
o'clock, P. M, Monday night, and that about
midnight FIRE was discovered in her hole, and know
ing that there powder on board the captain and
crew left Immediately She continued to burn until
about or o'clock. P. NJ, on Tuesday, when the
powder caught and blowed the vessel to pieces We
understand that there were several boxes of goods
On board. How the fire is supposed to have origna-
| ted we know not, but learn it caught from lamp
But the question arises how came lighted Iamn In the
hold For if it had caught in the cabin from lamp
it might we suppose, have been soon extinguished
We do not blame the captain and crew for abandon
ing her, if the fire caught In the hold and there
| powder about-Oid North State
ABSENCE OF MIND-A woman in Ohio nut her
baby into washing tub and its dirty frock and pet
coats into the cradle and sent her little boy to rock
it. She did not discover her mistake until the baby
cried when she pinned its left leg to the line she
J hung it out IN the yard 70 dry.
