MONSTER BLAST AT PESDERYS LIME
STONE QuARRIEs.-Some two years since .
monster blast was fired at the quarry Of
William Crawshay, Esq, the powder cham
ber containing p tons of powder with
the intention of opening the deep side Of
the quarry, and in the presence of many
spectators, a great fall was produced. Many
falls since have taken place, of 5000 and
1000 tons each, but the crowning fall was
las predicted from the day of the first blast
to come and on Wednesday it came with
good effect and profit to the owner. The
old chamber, which had much broken and
riven the bottom beds of the superincum-
bent strata, l47 feet high, was cleared out
to length of 10 yards, and the small guam
tity of 10 cwt. of powder exploded. The
match was fired, and in eleven minutes from
the time, the bottom of the quarry, a mass
10 feet thick, for 20 yards sqaure, was liter
ally elected, and the superintendent mass
of 100 feet high came rolling down like
flood, and filling the quarry with It's torrent
Of stone to the amount of 10000 tons GER
tain-many compute it at $4,000 tons, but
the more cautious say $4,000 tons. The
fall at present is untouched, and will remain
so for a time, as new roads are required to
be put in 10 clear the mass. There were
stones from $50 to $50 tons each thrown
down. Cardiff Guardian.

California Justice.

A correspondent Of Porter's Spirit o,
the Times is the voucher for this amusing
story:
The following occurred in California in
its palmy days, when alcaldes, elected by
the miners, dispensed equal and exact JUS
tice to all. An individual by the name of
Green had borrowed some forty dollars of
another ofthe soubriguet of !Shortez. Now
Shorter could not obtainthe money, though
Green had struck led and was known to
have dust. Green was large, powerful
man, but no grit, and Shortez offered to
fight him for the money, but Green backed
water. Well, the claim was brought be-
fore the alcalde, on cold, rainy, dismal
evening, and as there was considerable talk
about it, the boys gathered in to see the
fun-rather a motley appearing crowd, with
long boards and hair, patched pants, rim
less hats, toeless boots, &c, DC.
The honorable judge was unwell, but sat
up in his bunk, with red bandana tied
round his head. The case was clearly
proven. The alcalde decided that Green
must pay, and if ne would not do so, that a
committee of three were to search him or
his cabin, and get the money, and also the
court costs. Upon this, Shorter deliberate
ly arose and said, "Your honor, l will for
give him the debt. and pay the costs be-
sides, if he will only give me a fight, so
that can whale him." Green, when he
heard this, squared himself, thinking that
the court would be scared, but Shortez
pitched in al once and clinched. Several,
myself included, sprang in to separate them,
when, in deep tones, and waving the ban
dana, the judge exclaimed: "Gentlemen,
gentlemen, stand back! 1.-THE parties wish
to effect compromise, don't interfere r
And we stood back; saw Green whipped
in few seconds, and after that obliged to
pay the fund.

DIsTREssING CAIAn1rY-THRxxL LIVES
LOST BY THE USE OF CAMPHENE.-On
Saturday evening distressing accident oc-
Cured, in the house of Andrew Moore,
Johnson's Lane below Fourth street. in the
First Ward. Mrs. Moore was in the act of
filling camphene lamp, which was lighted,
when one of the children accidentally hit
her arm, causing the can containing the
fluid to upset. The fluid was immediate
" ignited, setting fire to Mrs. Moore's
clothing, as well as to that Of the children
PLAYING about the room.
The alarm and excitement that ensued
was intense, and although the neighbors
did all in their power 10 extinguish the
flames, five children, and both Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore were dreadfully burned. One Of
the sufferers did not belong to the family,
but had Just entered the house, on an er-
rand, her parents living at some distance.
Her name was Eliza Jane Lawson, aged
about twelve years. She ran out the alley
into the lane, and threw herself down in
the gutter, beneath the open fire-plug d.
rectly in front of the house. Notwithstand-
ing this, she was so dreadfully burned
that she died few hours afterwards, in
the adjoining house. Two other children,
Emma H. Moore, aged nine, and Rachel
D. Moore, aged four, died in the course of
the night, and Coroner Delevan held in
quests upon their remains yesterday:
The two remaining children, Wilhelmi-
ma Moore, aged six, and Elmira Moore, an
infant, were still alive last evening, but
very little hopes were entertained that they
would survive. The unhappy mother was
dreadfully burned, but not so as to endan-
ger her life, though the calamity has al
most destroyed her reason. The father
was seriously burned about the hands and
face while endeavoring to save his wife
and children.-PhI. Leader.

e%Attention is directed to an article in to-
day paper taken from the Tuscarawas Adrocate,
showing up the Rowyille Inoboerats, in their true

ty of every good citizen when he sees a wrong
going to aid in lis suppression, and for failing
TO do so he is held as accountable in law as the
man who commits the crime. So he will be in
the mind Of every honest, right thinking man.

Important Spanish Move
InenfS.

The latest Havana news indicates the
progress Of grand fillibustering scheme
on the part of Spain, looking to the subju-
cation, by that power, not only of Mexico
but of ST. Domingo. The reputation by
Spain, of the treaty agreed to between Al
varez for Spain, and the Mexican Secreta-
~ of State,-in which it was understood
time was given Mexico to examine into
the immense amount of fraudulent claims
against her, said to exist, founded upon
bonds issued early in her national existence,
is followed by more active demonstra-
ton against the Republic. Latest accounts
represent that grand Spanish military
and naval armament is being concentrated
at Cuba, with which it is supposed a sud
den and overwhelming descent upon Mexi
co is contemplated-the expected resnlt of
which will be to indirectly re-establish
Spanish authority there. But, for fear
Mexico may not give sufficient employment
to the extensive forces being raised for her
subjuga.ion,-the Spanish Government, it
is represented, is not only contemplating a
decent on st. Domingo, but has already
despatched war vessel to the Island, with
a messenger, having in charge 5000 stand
of arms, to be delivered to the Spanish
officials there. These arms, it is presum-
ed, are intended for the use of those who
have availed themselves Of the privilege of
the law authorizing such Dominicars as
chose to do so, to assume Spanish citizens
ship. A large number are reported to
have thus become Spanish citizens, and
they are pronounced to be in favor of
Spanish rule,-many avowedly so. And
in view of some favorable movement on
the part of these new Spanish citizens, the
mother country sends her adhercn.s said
and comfort" and the necessaries 10 dis
pose of those who may desire to oppose
them. Such are apparently well-founded
rumors. 1t is believed, however, that
Mexico, should she insist upon not paying
the Spaniards anticipate, in which case, not
only the Mexican, but the Dominican pro-
ject may receive fatal check.

A PIcTURE.-Hon. VIM. C. Rives, one
of Virginia's most distinguished sons, re-
marked as follows in the recent Whig Bal
timore Convention:
81 hail from the sou.h-my heart throbs
with every emotion that can touch the
heart of southern man. But yet l tell
you, that from my heart of hearts l loathe
northern man with southern feelings.
lApplause. Bring me man from the
ex'reame north, and set him down in my
own cherished home, and let him strive to
outvlc me in the praises of the institutions
of the south, and | say he ought to be
kicked out of Doors"
And so say all high minded men of the
south, as well as Of the north--all who
have proper appreciation of what belongs
to manhood.

Last Island Sufferers.

The people are recovering In a measure
from the effects of the storm. There never
was seen in the world a more awful calanl-
ity. You would hardly credit what could
tell you concerning it. One of the rescued
dined with us the other day-a Mr.. R,
who had been given up as lost irreeoverably.
A reward was offered for his body, and
friends mourning for him, when, by the
strangest chance, he was discovered. He
had fioated upon billiard table and land
ed upon the marshes, which, on this coast,
are as uninheritable as the sea ITSELF
There, for ten;days, he subsisted on snails
and one dead rat, which came swimming
along too. There, in the blazing August
sun,-not tree for miles and miles, not a
sllrub-nothing but the impossible and
impenetrable cane break, he survived every
horror, and lived on lice. In the providence
of his unsearchable Maker, he was sought
out by one solitary fishing boat and rescued
by its humane master, who, doubtless, from
the generosity within him, had been cruis-
ing about in the hope of doing some chance
good. The scene which occurred upon his
unexpected arrival home was truly affect
ing.

EEThe Aeronaut GODDARD, with three
Others, five in all-made an ascension from
Philadelphia few days since. The Ledg-
er says:
After ascending to an elevation of 49,
900 feet, the balloon was waited i'll a
north-westerly direction, and at length
reached the vicinity of Chester. a little after
5 O'Clock. Some of the party feeling hun
CRY, Mr.. GODDARD let out portion OF gas,
and descended to farmhouse, where their
creature comforts were attended to. While
here they were met by Mr.. FELTON,, Presi-
dent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company, who invited
the party to his house. A number of per-
sons seized a rope, and pulled the balloon
to the house, where it remained fastened
until the visiters had been Hospitality enter
tanned by Mr.. FELTON,. In a half hour VIII
mington was reached, and Mr.. GODDARD de-
seended sufficiently low to converse with a
number of citizens of that place. He again
assembled, and came down along the road,
and shook hands with several astonished
individuals. At about 0 o'clock Mr.. God
ard made his descent in safety and with
ease, about four miles from North East,
Cecil county, Nd, having made distance
of over 80 miles, and stopped two and a
half hours on the road for refreshments.-
The passengers on this novel excursion, say
the sight from their lofty position was the
most magnificent that can be imagined; !;
this was particularly so to those who were
up just as the moon began to rise and tip
hill and valley with her silvery beams
One of the peculiarities of this night ride
was the remarkable echo at the hight of
some 10000 feet. Mr.. GODDARD sang
song, and each verse was as distinctly sung
by an echo, as sweet and melodious, as the
voice which uttered the words. The party
at this altitude could also hear the barking
of dogs, and even the cackling of the chick
ems and their maternal progenitors. Mr..
GODDARD, it is said, will make his third as
cension ON Thursday next, from Parkinson's
Garden, Chestnut street.

Curious Facts in the OHIO
Election.

There are some curious facts in our State
election, well worth the notice of political
students.
l. The Democrats have carried seven
members of Congress, and not one Of them
has a najiority Of the votes in his District
They have pluraEties, it is true, but not
one has majority. If the $4,000 men
who voted the Fillmore ticket in Ohio. had
been obliged to choose between the defeat
ed Republican candidates and the success
full Democrats, not single Buchanan man
would have been elected. A few of the
Fillmore leaders would, it is true, have vot-
ed the Buchanan ticket, but the great body
would have voted against it.
2. The Fillmore vote is about one thou
sand less than that of Trimble, while the
Republicans gain 1000 on the Chase vote
In the Presidential vote, the gain will be
much larger. This shows that the Repub-
lican gain is from the Democrats, and if
this controversy continues, as it will, the
gain from the Democrats will eoutinue, and
be much larger.
8. The vote proves that all the assertions
Of few Fillmore leaders about their
strength in this State was, throughout, a
fiction-wholly imaginary. The only
strength they had of any sort, was the few
fragments of Councils, which organized sep
erately in the Trimble movement. 1t is
highly probable their vote in the Ross Dis
trict will be much less at the Presidential
election, that vote being given chiefly to
benefit Mr.. Moore. Whoever votes in
Ohio on the 4th of November for Fillmore
may be regarded as regular devotee to
his cause, who will vote for his executors,
if he should have any.

AN AMERICAN FRIeATE IN AN ENGLISH
PoRr.-One of the London papers in an
nouncing the appearance of the frigate
Merrimac in an English port says:
1.-THE American steam ffigate Merrimac,
now lying off Southampton, has created
considerable sensation in this country-we
would not be far wrong in saying that in
certain quarters she has produced panic.
The aristocracy and fiunkeyhood of Eng
land had no conception that the Republic
could turn out anything half so formidable
as this truly magnificent vessel. The Mer-
rimae is but one of series which the Am
erlcan governmet is now building, and
though only frigate, she is admitted 10
be match for any one of our ships of the
line. There is not navy in Europe that
has vessel which can compete with her.
