The most horrible occurrence that We
have heard Of for long time occurred eight
miles from this place, on the Jackson road,
1T the store of Mr.. Altman, this morning.
Altman was smoking in the store-room, and,
being called to breakfast, started ont, and
it is supposed passed over keg Of powder,
dropping fire into it. The house vas lev.
e'ed to the ground by the explosion that
ensued, and was soon wrapped in flames.
Some persons near by ran to the spot, and
succeeded in getting Mrs. ALTMAN from the

bruised. No property was saved and q
gentleman just from the spot tells us that
the skull and the ribs of the unfortunate
Altman were all that remained visible Of
him among the smoking ruins.sg

any use of this communication for the beI eft of the
