Powder Mill Explosion.

Ga Thursday evening last, about I o'clocx !,
The Inhabitants OF our town were suddenly
aroused by loud explosion, that shook the
whole village, and the buildings around for
several miles. II was soon ascerainej that
The large powder mandatory of Messrs
Parish, Silver s. Co., situate about two miles
below the Borough, had exploded, blowing
to atoms the drying-house and glazing house,
destroying the stock-house and coal-house,
and also utterly destroying the frame of one
mill and unrooling the other. The powder
in process of Manufacture, in these latter
buildings, did not explode. AT the time of the
explosion, two boys, aged about 10, were in
the packing house, as is supposed-one a
white boy named Joseph Rhodes land ihe 9th
er colored boy, named Jerry Cooper. They
were found the next morning, having been
blown about $50 yards, badly torn and man
gled. The explosion occurred in the drying
and packing house. There is no possible
way of explaining The immediate cause of
this catastrophe, as the only persons that
could have known anything OF the matter,
in the first instance, were the two boys who
were killed. There was about 400 kegs of
of powder, flushed and unfinished, destroy
ed. Total loss about 50, 500.
The glass in the windows of all the hou-
ses situated about the mills were broken, and
in some cases the sash and doors destroyed.
Before the report was heard, the light could
be seen for miles, which was soon followed
by crash that made the stoutest tremble,
and that seemed to shake the very earth be-
meath their feet. Tie blacksned, burned,
mutilaied corpses of the Two boys, present
