EXPLOSION. About II o'clock, A. NJ,
on Tuesday last syindcr. boiler, in The
Licking Iron Works. Coving,on, KY, ex-
poded with grea, violence. Three little
boys who were playing marbles in The VI.
cinily were seriously. and il is thought ia.
,ay injured. Three men who were al
work near the boiler were seriously hurt.
A large number Of hands were struck with
fragments Of bricks and spinlers, but none
of these last considered dangerous. Ii is
marvellous indeed that so few were injured.
Two masoks were at work at the moment
of explosion, al the ash hole Of the very
furnace which heated the boiler. The
boiler, and a mass OF bricks that would
weigh ton, grazed their heads. So says
The Cincinnati Commercial.

II has been considered as doubtful here
whether Mr. Dickinson and Mr.. O'Conner

LoRIN ANDREws.-A circular, signed by
the teachers belonging TO the Ohio SIa,e
Teachers Association, is published in the
Ohio State Journal o! Education, recon-.
mending the gentleman whose name ap'
pears al the head Of this article, as the
peoples candidate for the new office Of
Commissioner OF Common Schools. We
heartily second The motion. We think this
office should be filled by The man best fitted
for the post, without reference 10 his poll.
tics. The teachers Of The Association
ought to know who this best man is. We
do not think proper to publish The enliro
CIRCULAR bu. give The concluding portion in
reference 10 Mr. Andrews qualifications
They say:
Mr.. Andrews is a scholar. He pursued
his collegiate course al Kenyon College,
where he aferward received the degree Of
A. M.
Mr.. An1rews has been many yenrs II
practical and successful teacher, consid.
Grafton Of no trhing importance 10 one who
shall dircc, the educational interests Ol The
State.
MIR. Andrews has pursued The course of
study required in The legal professor, and
hus for some years held a license 10 prRc-
lice law in our State.
Mr.. Andrews has been almost continually
engaged, Tor The last five years, in labors for
The cause Of general education in Ohio, and
for a considerable portion Of the lime, al
much personal sacrifice. These considera-
lions alone, we think entitled TO great
weight, in comparison with whoever may
now suddenly espouse this cause, in view
Of the honorS or the patronage 10 be dis.
pensed.
But, five years experience we believe
worth 10 The Sale more than The salaty oI
an inexperienced man for ten years. Plans
that are practical, can be adopted without
oSs Of lime or money 10 the St0te. Wants
that ure now fell are now well understood
and The agencies 10 NEE, those wants car
be most promptly PROVIDED by man oi Iht
requisite experience.
Mr. Andrews capacity as business mar
is such, as everywhere TO command public
confidence, where he is known.
Lastly, Mr., Andrews integrity end honor
as man are above repronch or suspicion
A clear head, good heart, and wild,
range Of active sympalhes, are to be Oddec
to the qualifications before enumerated.
We therefore commend him 10 The con
6donce and suhrages Of all clusses Of ou
fellow citizens, and most respectfully ant
earnestly request The political papels OF ou
Slote Of all parties, TO publish this circular
and then 10 place The name Of Lorn An

New York Crystal PaInce.

Some doubts have been expressed as 10
whether the Crystal Palace al New York
would be completed and in readiness for the
opening Of The Exhibition on the Isl OF May.
The Tribune Of ale date SAYS that the
building is now so far advanced That the
directors entertain no doubt of being able TO
open the Exhibition, il no, on the very first
OF May, ai all events on an early day in that
month, They are fully aware Of the i'm
porlance Of opening during the progress Of
.he Anniversaries in our city, and are
pressing Inv. work with the utmost energy
and resolution. Ike its forerunner in Lon
don, the Exhibition will probably open be-
fore the preparations are YET all completed
That the Exhibition will be magnificent,
there is no longer any doubt. The present
activity and thrift of our manufacturers en-.
sure This. Many an establishment which
would have felt unable 10 spend $500 for
fixtures, getting up articles, &C., year ago
will now spend thousands If necessary, with.
out grudging. Undoubtedly this will exceed
not orly in extent, but in perfection also
any previous Exhibition Of American inven'
lions and fabrics, while the show Of choice
foreign products will be entirely without
parallel in this country. Already far more
space than the directors have al command
has been applied for, and many who wish 'c
exhibi, beautiful or valuable products mus
necessarily be denied. Mistakes will doubt
less be made in according room; but we be-
ieve those TO whom is confided The respon'
sibIe duty Of conceding, limiting or refusing
space for exhibition will exercise an en-
ighlened and impartial Judgment"

CHAsrTR ELrcTIoH.-We observe written nc
tice posted upon the door Of the courthouse,
calling for a corporation election on the 20th day
OF April. No notice OF any kind has been handed
US for publication, nor have we converSed with
any Of ou town fathers on the subject; yet we
are not quite sure of the legality of such an cleo
ton at that time. 1t will be recollected that we
published notice few weeks since, stating that
this election must be held on the same day with
the township election. This was on the author
ity of Senator Cradlebaugh, who, we believe, was
appointed or requested to examine that elegant
bundle Of errors called the Laws of Ohio. II
Mr.. c. is right the Town Council Of Pomeroy is
wrong. We observe that our neighbors of Mari
eta, Athens, Gallipolis, &C., held their charter
elections on the first Monday in April, according
to Mr.. C.s suggestion.
Is there not an error Somewhere7 II 30, what
occasioned tl Our own opinion is, there is o
mistake, occnSioned as follows we understand
the corporation law was considerably altered
during the latter part OF the last session. The
act authorizing the early publication OF the laws
had been previously repealed. This law proba'
bly, takes effect from and after its passage, ant
yet the Legislature has put it out of the power
the people to know any thing of its provisions
And yet, ignorance Of the law excuses no man
1t may be that the charter election Of Pomero!
on the goth, will be a violation of the laws o
the state, and there may be penalty attached t.
the violation, for aught we know, and yet we ven
ture to say, no three men in The county know an,
thing about it, nor has it been possible for then
to ascertain,
We confess our own ignorance. All we know
about it, we have stated. Our surmiIeS may b.
right, or they may be wrong. In either case, tn
wisdom Of hiding the laws from the people is OK
i hibted.

easily be saved. So Of other laws. There is al
together 90 much unnecessary legislation in Ohio,
