Another Powder Mill Explosion.

The Genesee powder mills, situated in Brighton,
IN W five miles, east Of Rochester, blew up on
Thursday evening. No lives lost. The
buildings destroyed were four in number, viz, two
cylinder mills, corning house, and press They
were situated few rods apart and heavy embank-
ments of earth raised between them. There were
probably four or five hundred kegs of powder in
the buildings at the time of the explosion, As
the custom has been, the saltpetre put into
the cylinders with The charcoal and birthstone at
five o'clock, when the workmen withdrew, leaving
the mills TO operate without attendance during
the night. About an hour after leaving the mills
they blew up, making four distinct explosions in
quick succession. The shock was tremendous
sufficiently great 10 break glass in houses several
miles distant. These mills have exploded four
times in the last eighteen months, and the new
millshad only been IN operation six weeks1

THE Advertiser, EreHchman and grad
uate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
specially Offers his services as teacher OF his
native tongue 10 Schools, Classes, and Private
Pupils Of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition Of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practice; by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with n pursuing one ofthe
many theoretical grammars not sufficiently show
ing the idomaucal part Of The language, prac-
tical one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules if not entirely, al .east far too much,
neglected In following these theoretical gram
mars the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time 10 the mere me
morizng of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion Of number of set phrases, valuable it is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions,
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that The pupil, in adopting his method, may, with
little effort after course OF fortyeight lessons
understand and speak the French, and find the a
sistance Of a teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution of the studies OF that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
