ETA few days ago, We published
an extract in reference to the doings
of 4 Rev Mr., Cross, in Danyille, Va,
a lecturer on Temperance. A citizen
Of Danvile-Mr Thomas p, Atkinson
pronounced him an imposter before
the audience, as a man of his name,
and answering to bis description, had
been expelled from the Presbyterian
ministry,
The scene was one of considerable
excitement, and Mr. Cross retired,
promising one day to vindicate his
good name, Gu this subject the fol.
lowing card appears in the Danville

GunpOWder Explosion and Loss OF LAfes
The opening of the new railroad between Cincin-
natl and Louisville was celebrated by an exeursien
on the 10Th ult. The Cincinnati Gazette of the 30tk
furnishes the following particulars Of sad accident
which occurred on the road
The train that left Aurora an hour in advance Of
the Cincinnati train, had but short while before
we came up reached Seymour. Some on our trains
observed magnificent explosion, as ii from park
OF artillery planted in the road to receive with ita
hoarse salute but, sorrowu to relate, "a the smoke
cleared away, and the train neared Seymour, mes
senger stopped the train and announced that the
powder magazine Of the Aurora Artillery had acci-
dentally exploded and all on the cars. wore most
shockingy wounded and mutilated. On arriving at
the spot, we observed two of the victims not yet
taken from the fatal spot.
Under q tree, with all his clothes burnt Oh, with
crisped hair, hands charred and akin peeled from
the arm, and both legs broken, lay Robert p.
Squibbs of Aurora; on the other side Of the road
well known and highly respectable citizen Of Au.
r0ra, in the employ of the railroad and the person
| who had fitted mp the train
The sorrowful picture Of that face and body,
Scared scratched bruised and bleeding, with ono
arm broke, We can never forget; but coupled With
it will be remembra1ces of the frmness and hero
ism with which he and all of the others bore their
suferngs.
temporary hospital was made Of some good
mans house, and besides these two the bruised and
mangled bodies OF John L. Bailey, of Aurora, and
John Bailey, his nephew, o humpback, whose sor.
rowtul fate begot unwonted sympathy, were adde /.
badly injured but most severely in the hand, aud
Henry Doolan, who was frightfully wounded ABOUT
the nose and the side of the face.
DR.. WaIder, of our city, DR.. Hardin, Of Lawrence
burg, DR.. sutton, of Aurora and DR.. Bowers, of
Morris HILL and some physicians Of Louisville, for
tunatey were present, and Immediately Set about
alleviatng the suferings and temporarily adjusting
the fractured limbs.
The return train took the unfortunate victims
back to their afflicted families, all of whom we're
married but Walker and the younger Bailey. In
the cars in which the Cincinnati delegation re-
turned there was promptly donated $24s by the
passengers, to pay expenses incident to the care Of
the unhappy victims,
The gloom thrown over the other ceremonies by
the sad catastrophe, had its effect in saddenine;
every sympathetic heart The circumstances of the
explosion were as follows
On the rear open car Of the Aurora train was
placed cannon; on the same car the powder chest
within eight feet OF it, the furnace In which was
kept heated the rod to fire the cannon. As long as
the car had q forward motion the dranght q air
carried any sparks that might arise from the char
coal furnace away from the magazine; bat reach
ing Seymour, the train was stopped and the motion
reversed; the draught bore spark into the chest,
which was at that moment opened to get cart
ridge, when the terrible havoc related ensued

The Cincinnati Commercial Of the 27,h june,
says:-We yesterday returned from trip into the
country, in which a portion of the valley Of the
Great Miami below Hamilton, and some tributary
valleys to the north, were visited. From OBSERVE
ton, and information dire ct from the farmers wa
discover that in the region mentioned the earth ia
this season even unusually prodigal in yielding np
its riches. Wheat, rye, corn and potatoes are re-
markedly promising. Oats look exceedingly well.
The crop Of grass is magnificent. The yield Of hay
will be immense.
The orchards and the wild woods, too, are laden
with all varieties of fruits and nuts. Peaches VIII
be abundont where peach trees are penty-and I'm
our markets, too. Plums and pears, and indeed
every kind Of fruit that fourishes on the hills and
in the valleys of the Great Miami, are maturing in
profusion under the sunlight Of these days.
It Is now the toughest time in harvest. Wheat
and barley are ripe, and ripening with bot haste In
the fierce SUM- Reapers by hand and machines,
Graders and binders, are in earnest demand and th
supply is inadequate. Wages for harvest hands
will range from 81 so to 81 per day. The latter SUM
yesterday being freely offered for efficient har-
vesters, by farmers whose broad fields Of wheat and
barley were ready for cutting.
IN ILLINOIS.
A writer from middle Illinois says that the pros
pect for heavy crop Of grain never was finer in
that region than the present season.. A great
breadth Of wheat and oats is on the ground, ana
in very prosperous condition, giving promise
of an early as well as bountifui harvest.
IN WISCONSIN,.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin says information i /,
uniform from every county in that State that tho
wheat crop never before promised 80 beautifully
1t s stout and healthy, and with favorable haryes
weather, Wisconsin will send to market whea
enough to make up all deficiencies in the othe:
States.
The Ripon Herald says that the crops of all kind
in Northern Wisconsin bid fair to equal, ii not tor
surpass, those Of any previous year. The wheat
crop, particularly, makes promise of gladstone
time.

The st. Johnsbury Cniedonina states that for ths
last ten days rain has fallen abundanty refreshing
the growing crops and cheering the husbandman~
The grass crop looks very well corn, potatoes and
grain look well, promising fine harvest.

AN EvENTFUL CAREER.-At the late term Of tho
supreme Court of Lowndes county, Georgia, man,
by the name of Graham, was convicted Of man
slaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary at tho
age of nineteen years. We have been informed Of
few incidents in the life of this young man, whiclx
will excite sympathy in his misfortuues. At the
age OF thirteen. be was attacked by tiger, which,
after tearing him badly and crushing both his
jaws, left him for dead under covering Of leaves,
which he had piled on him. Subsequently, he was
caught in sugar-m and lost arm; was bitten
fash Of lightning. His greatest calamity ooourred
few months ago. when he killed one Of his neigh
bors in drunken frolic, by stabbing. Since then
he has laid in prise n, and has now term Of years
to serve at some TRACE suited TO hs peculiar physical
condition. II there be any extenuating circum-
stances in his aFe we should De glad to see them
brought to the notice of the Executive, for the ex.
ercise Of official clemency. We doubt very much
whether any man living ever encountered Emilar
perils. This Is said 10 be true record, without
the least fancy or invention IVakuua Times.
