Terrible Disaster mt HurIgate.

J. Yesterday afternoon, about two O'Clock, while
Mr. Mailleiert was engaged in blasting the rock
called the Frying Pan at Hurg gate, a terrible ca
tastrophe took place by which two of Maletert's
assistants were instantly killed, one it is feared,
fatally injured and several seriously hurt, inclu-
ding the professor himself. 1t appears that Mr..
Maillefert, in undertaking his blasting operations,
employs two boats, in. one of which is contained
the galvanic battery and in the other ofwhich arc
placed the cannisters. Mr. Maillefert, himself
guides the former which on this occasion was one
of Francis life boats; while the latter is employ
I'd by his assistants. 1t also appears that imme-
diately before the occurrence of the explosion
one canister, which contained about one hun
dred and twenty pounds Of powder had been
already sunk in the water by the assistants, and
was fixed on the rock. while another canister
was still in the boat. Mr. Maillcfert, who is gen
orally about forty feet feom the boat containing
assistants, then approached them for the purpose
of receiving the wire, which was attached to the
canister that was sunk in the wate".
By some mismanagcmcnt or other, he WAS
handed the wire attached to the canister in the
boat, instead of that already fixed on the rock.
Having removed to the proper distance, he then
battery, the natural consequence of which was
the explosion of the canister in the boat, while
the charge under water was not fired at all. The
boat OF course, was instantly blown to atoms,
and the men, three in number, were scattered i'll
variors directions two of them being instantly
killed. and the third Shockirgy mutilated. The
boat Of Mr. Ma;llcfrt,t who was accompanied by
his bruhcr-in-law, was also greatly damaged,
and he himself thrown to height Of sixty feet
in the air. Such was the violence OF III: exI 10
sion, that the effect was felt all round the neigh
borh,od, to the distance of several miles. boats
from shore were immediately sent to the scene
of disaster the dead and the wounded were
picked up and brought TO Astoria. The follow
iiig is a list Gf the same:
EIr. Mactcrt received several serious intcrna!
injuries, but not beyond recovery, it is. said.
Theodore soUtha'd, terribly mutilatcd, having
large portion of his side torn open, so that his
cntrals are exposed To view. Slight holcs are
entertained of his recovery
Joe - was picked up dead, with his arms
and portion of his skull blown off.
Another, name unknown, was entirely missing
for the greater part of the afternoon, but we un-
derstand that towards evening his body was
washed ashore near Astoria.
The brnther-in-law of Mr.. Maefert received
some slight bruises, and had several Of his teeth
knocked out by the conclusion.

APPLYING A TExr.-The sharp-nosed gentle
man who olls in the Suffolk Offices arm-chairs,
during the forenoons, was once accosted BY
half tipsy, stammering fellow, with the ques-
tom

Fellow, whatsmean youP,. 80. ,..
why, the sc-scripters say that the rich grind

Dabster says he would not mind living like a
bachelor, but when lie comes to think that batch
elo,s must die, and that they must 60 down to
the grave without any one to cry for them it
niyes him chill which frost-bites his philoso-
ply.
Nothing was so much dreaded i'll our school
boy days as to be punished by sitting between
two girls. All the force of education in after
years-we learned TO submit to such things
without shedding tear.
A western debating club submits the following
questions Ii man has tiger BY the TAIL
which would be the best for his personal safety
to hold on or let him go:"
Why does water boil sooner in an old saus-
pan than new one. Punch takes it upon him
self to answer this obtruse query, by saying, "its
because the old un's used toit."
A tall man, who was given 70 dissipation, was
told by medical friend that he was dying by

LINES.

BY THE LATE WILLIS GAYLORD CLARK.
Ifyon bright stars which gem the night
: Be each blissfu dwelling sphere,
: Where kindred spirits re-unite,
Whom death has torn asunder here,
How sweet it were at once to die
To leave this blighted orb afar-
Mix soul with soul, to cleave the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But sh I! how dark, how drear, how lone,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
If wandering through each radiant ole,
We failed to find the loved ofthis!
If there no more the ties should twne,
Which deaths cold hand alone can sever,
All! then those stars in mockery shine,
More hateful as they shine for ever.
1t cannot be each hope, each fear
That lights the eye or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is happier sphere
Than this bleak world that holds US now!
There is a voice which sorrow hears,
When heaviest weighs LIES calling chain
Tis heaven that whispers "dry thy tears
The pure in heart shall meet again"

MEMORY.
Soft as rays ofsunlight stealing
70 On the dying day;
Sweet, as chimes Of low bell pealins
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds at nigh: that moan,
Through the heath DER mountain lone,
Comes the thoughts Of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbeams from heaven
Hide at eve tlieif light;
As the bells when fades thar eve
Peal not on the night;
AS the night winds cease 10 sigh
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts Of days gone by
From ages memory
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
~And the bells give sweet-voced warning
TO the world to wake.
So on the winds shall freshly breathe
Ger the mountains purple heath;
But the past is lost i'll Death
He hath no memory.

A New SiDE-SADDLE.-We have seen a capi-
tai article theinvcntion of Dsbrow, at his riding
school, No. 20 Fourth Avenue. 1t renders horse
manSlip perfectly safe to the ladies, by the adj
dition of new support on the outside Of the
near crutch, against which the knee Of the rider
presses. At the same time, that part Of the
saddle which heretofore rested upon the shoul-
dcrs is cut out, saving the animal from those
painful excavations frequently Witnessed
This saddle holds the lady firmly in her seat, and
she may safely trust. herself on rcstivc horse,
gallon, leap fences, and perform other feats which
would be attended with some risk to an ipexpc-
rienccd rider occupying the common sidc-saddle.
We are glad to see this invention and We doubt
not that the ladies' will hail it with much plea
sure.-N. Y. Enquirer.

Virginia.

The Democratic State Convention for the ap-
pointmcnt of Presidential Electors, closed its
sion on Friday last 1t made no nomination
for President. The following resolutions were
adopted without dissent:
The Democratic Republicans of Virginia, i'll
Convention assembled, following the time-hon-
ored usuage in declaring the principles which
bind them together as party, do resolve,
l. That the true relations between the States
and the Federal Government, and the true rules
for the construction of the Constitution, are cor
rectly set forth in the resolutions and report Of
1913 and 90, of the General Assembly Of Vir-
ginia and the doctrines therein expounded are
hereby adopted and riaffirncd.
2. That Congress has no power to appropri-
ate directly or indirectly, the proceeds Of the
sales of tie public lands to the purposes of inter-
nal improvements.
g. That spec:f! duties, taxing, as they do, the
low-prced neccssaries of the poor as heavily as
the costly luxuries Of the rich, are unequal, un-
Just, and odious; that duties dcsi igncd for pro-
lection, foster one brnach of industry and cher
ish one section of the country at the expense Of
sound policy, and Democratic principles; and
that we are opposed to "ny increase of the du-
ties on imports, especially on articles of general
and necessary consumption, such as iron, coal,
sugar, salt and coarse cottons
4. That the Federal Government ought to ad-
here in its foreign policy in the maxilns incuca-
ted by the Father of his Country, and by the
Father Of Democracy.
5. That we re-afiirm the Resolutions Of the
Baltimore Conventions of 1914 and 1913, as far
as applicable to the present condition of the
country.
G. That we recommend to the Democracy of
the several Congressional Districts, to send, each,
not more than four delegates to the Baltimore
Convention.
T. That we approve of the mode of voting
heretofore pursued by the Virginia delegates in
the Baltimore Conventions, and recommend that
they continue the rule OF casting the whole vote
of the State by majority Of the districts.
8. That the vote Of the State in the Baltimore
Convention ought to be given for such candidate
as will command the greatest strength in the
Democratic party throughout the Unicn, and
whose principles are known to conform most
strictly to the cardinal tenets of the Democratic
Republican faith.

BuRx1SG OF GEORGIA RAILROAD CAUSE.-THE
Augusta ConStitutionalist states that a train of
Freight Cars going up on Thursday, took fire
few miles above Stone Mountain, from the woods
which were burning, and six Of them were de-
stroyed Two of these were close Cars, filled
with dry goods, which were entirely consumed,
The other four were Platform Cars, on one Of
which was iron-on another, stone on the two
remaining Cars, were awagon, which WAS saved,
hogshead Of molassc>, and some other heavy
articles, part of which were destroyed.
The Sentinel adds that it was terrible day,
one of the most extraordinary we ever recocct
to have witnessed inths climate the wind blow
inc. a perfect gale for six CT eight hours and we
fear the destruction Of propertyo on plantations
and in the woodlands, has been immense. We
have already heard of the destruction of consid
cradle property in houses, mills, fences, wood,

WASHINGTON, March 23.--The friends of
General Scott think chat they can elect him as
President, provided they can unite the whole
strength Of the whig party, North and South.
Some efforts to Infect this union are about to bo
made. As mentioned i'll Yesterdays letter, an
epistle is about to appear, fit has not appeared,
which was written by General Scott immediate
ly after the consummation Of the compromise
measures, in which he gives them his cordial ap-
provaI lie also, it seems, addressed letters to
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Webster, while the measures
were printing, in which he encourages their eff
forts to effect an adjustment Of the vexed ques-
tons. These letters, without further avowals,
will, it is now said, place Gen. Scott right with
the compromise men, and not injure him with
the frce-soil wings.

The WBIG CASDlDATEs-The New York
Courier and Enquirer thinks il is daily becoming
more evident that Mr.. Webster is the most Il
vailabc Of the three Wing candidates for the
next Presidency. He cxcltes no positive objcc-
tious anywhere, whilst both Mr.. Fillmore and
General SCOT, ere violently opposed by local and
sectional influences, which would render the sue
cess Of c.herat the polls, at best, matter Of cx
treme difficulty. The vote Of New York will, i'll
all probability. be Indispensable to the success
Of the ncxt Wing nominee. That vote could,
with almost absolute certainty, be relied upon
for Mr. Webster Or for General Scott, but, i'll
present circumstances would rs surely be with
held from Mr. Fillmore, because of the bitter
fcud which divides the Wing Party of this
State into two sections, of the smaller of which
Mr.. +. is the head and front. On the other
hand, Gen. Scott has little or no chance of OBJ
tanning the vote of single Southern State, be-
cause h. has not distinctly declared himself in
favor of the Compromise; and, without the aid
Of son Of them, lis cause il hopeless.
