Dreadful Explosion Of a Powder lIill.

CINCINNATI, Aug. l4.-.The powder
magazine at Marysville, KY, was fred
yesterday morning, when eight hundred
kegs Of powder exploded, and burned
thirteen houses. The explosion took
place at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning,
carrying destruction in every direction.
helight produced was most brilliant,
and, singular to say, not a life was lost
ond bur few persons injured. The citi-
zens were SO much alarmed, that some
minutes elapsed before any one would
90 into the streets. The general i'm
preston was that the day of Judgment
had come. When tho citizens sailed
out they found the sidewalks covered
with fragments of demolished houses.
The property damaged is estimated at
fifty to one hundred thousand dollars
Only two persons were seriously inju.
red. One lady died from the effects OF
fright. The Mayor offered 81 900 for
information that would lead 10 the con-
victiou Of the rascal that set fire to the
magazine.

Land Graduation.

Tho land graduation bill introduced
by Mr.. Cobb, Of Alabama, and now a
law, will not affect the public lands in
Nebraska or Kansas, as those lands
have not been in the market the time
required by the provisions of the billto
bring them under the graduation prin-
ciple. Its effect, it is supposed, will
be beneficial in directing emigration
toward the older States in which land
of an inferior quality has been past over
in order to reach more fertile sectiups
where it could, heretofore, be purchased
at the same price. The prices fixed by
Mr.. Cobb's bill are similar to those in
Mr.. Hunters Homestead bill, for which
in many respects it is substitute. I'm.
der It's provisions, railroad grants aud
mineral lands are not to be entered, and
not more than three hundred and TWEEN

Missouri Election.

The St. Louis papers Of the 10th inst,
furnish full details OF the election for
Congress, from which we learn that the
majority for Lewis NJ. Kennel, wing,
over Thomas Hart Benton, wing, in St.
Louis county, which comprises the
whole first Congregational district, is
1853. The Republican adds:-
"The returns by telegraph leave no
reasonable doubt Of the election Of Johh
G. Miller and Gilchrist Porter, the wing
candidates in their respective districts,
for Congress. The Returns from the
other districts. though not very numer-
Gus, though not very numerous, indicate
the reelection of Mr.. Oliver, Sam Ca
ruthers, and Liudley-all wings. We
do not claim their election as certain,
but it looks that way.
"Our dispatches show that we have
considerable sprinkle Of wings in the
Legislature, and have gained in some
quarters in which gains were not ex.
pected."

Curious Effect efAair on Grass.--A
few years ago The purchasers OF hog hair
al Terre Haute, Ind. carried it Out upon
the prairie and spread it on the grass to
dry. This was in the fall and winter
After being washed with the rains, it was
raked up, leaving portion sticking in the
grass. In the spring this was the earliest
green spot and continued to be the sweet.
est, as was proved BY the cattle resorting
there to feed. By and by one Of them
died and another and another, though APP
paren,ly fat and healthy. Then one was
opened TO ascertain the cause Of deaIh, and
and afterward others for curiosity. In
the stomachs Of such as had fed most upon
his hair manure spot, were found two or
three dozen lair balls, such as We used to
be told when boy were switch balls y
We have seen them three inches in diam
eter and solid as it is possible to compact
hair together, The calamity grew SO Sc
rious that the owners Of cattle had 10 plow
up the grund and tnrn under tie sod and
its rich manuring which continued .oshow
its effects for years after.
