APPLEs.-The soil and climate Of Cali

many kinds Of fruits. But, judging from
most Of the samples which we have seen
OF apples, grown here, the inference would
be, tina, they are not well calculated TO give

True, the county is young, and time, care,
cultivation for years, adaptation TO soil, eli
male and other circumstances, may effect a
change, and eventually give us "Pipin,"

TO those grown in New Jersey, New York,
and Massachusetts,. Feeling the want Of

clipper ship King Fisher having brough,
the Baldwin =" apples, grown in the town

here in excellent preservation.

About o'clock this afternoon, the new

the main building.
= There we're over 500 persons employed
in the factory, over 100 Of whom were in
that part of the building which was injured
The explosion was terrific, breaking Tim
bers, powerful machinery, and everything
about The building in pieces, and proslrating
the walls for 100 feet in length. The glass
Of the main building was broken. The roof
and walls fell in huge mass over the men
employed, burying them beneath Its ruins
Efforts were Immediately made by the
remaining operatives, the fremen, who
were called out for the purpose, and the cit
liens, who crowded in large numbers TO the
spo;. 10 rescue those beneath ihe rubbish
The Mayor superintendent the extricatiOn OF
the bottles, aud the wreck was removed
with all possible despatch Nine persons
were killed Instantly; seven more died
shortly after, and many Others were badly
injured.
Mr.. Skinner was conversing OH business
with Mr.. Camp, one of the workmen, when
the explosion took place. Mr.. Camp was
killed, aud MIR. Skinner had his arm broken
in two places, aud his head badly cut.
The immediate cause OF the explosion
may never be known. The boiler was a
new one, of fifty horse power, built Of the
bes, materials, and with the greatest care.
1t has been conjcctured that the water was
suffered TO get too low.
The scene was most heari-rending one.
When the intelligence was scattered ,hro'
the city, wives and children came Rushing
to inquire alter the fate of their husbands
or parents Such was the excitement in
the South district, in which many OF the
workmen dwelt, that the schools had 10 be
dismissed at once, in consequence Of the
excitement, among the pupils.
The victims were horribly mu,ilated, and
in some instances hardly 10 be recognized.
The engineers arm was found nj some dis.
lance from the body. The fragments were
overhauled BY FIVE o'clock, and all the boz.
les cxiricaied. Many who were but slightly
injured, went away early to their homes,
and arc no, included in the above account,
and others were taken away, so that II is
impossible TO ascertain the precise number
wounded. 1t is supposed TO have been over
fifly.
