The fire was caused by an explosion in a small
frame house. occupied by a German, named Geo.
Schmidt, his wife and four children; and before
the flames could be subdued, five framed cottages
were destroyed, attended with loss of life. Schmidt
was sick, and neaged in making fireworks for Mr.

with some wood and had put stick in the stove
Christian, aged ., was sitting in a rocking chair
near the stove; and the fourth child, a boy about
five years. lad gone for . pail Of water. The mo.
ther had left home early in the morning This was
the position of the family when the explosion took
place. At the house. we were told that some one
living in the neighborhood had frequently missed
wood from his pile, and had placed quantity Of
powder In a stick in the pile, with the view Of ds-
tectiDg the thief That this family had been sus
pected of carrying off wood.
The stick containing the powder had been tax en-

THE CAPTURE OF HERAT BY THE PERsIANs.-
Horrible Atrocities The details Of the capture of
Herat by the Persisns recall the scenes of famine
which preceded the surrender Of Kars
The besieged defended themselves obstinately,
with all the desperation of fanaticism; for the ha
sred of the opposing Mahommedan sects mingled
with the political question at issue, and the sIiug
gle had commenced within the walls Of the Herat
with massacre OF the so.relgionists of the Per-
sisns The troops ofthe Shah, therefore, began the
attack with all the bitterness of revenge, believ
ing themselves engaged in . holy war against
heretcs Being superior in discipline to the Aft.
ghans who fought IN Herat, and being led by
skillful French and German engineers, the Per.
slams soon became masters Of the outworks of The
city Many Affghans deserted. Dost Moham-
med, King Of the Caboul who was expected by
the besieKed, did not appear 1t was impossible
10 get q supply Of provisions into the city. Then
commenced su the horrors Of famine, while the
epidemic which always follow In its train deciras-
ted the garrison and the innabitanis Finally, the
besieged surrendered, overcome with hunger, fs-
yer and weakness.
The victory was sustained by the cruelty Of the
Persian character, which is veiled under exter-
nal show Of politeness and refinement.
After the capture of the city, the Persian Gene
raj, Mohammed YousOuf Khan, put to death Ess
Khan the leader Of the besieged, and had him
quartered and hung up at the city gates threaten
ing by proclamation to serve i'll like manner all
who might refuse submission to the conqueror,-
His two children were afterwards assassinated.-
Even it, as alleged, the family of Esa Khan took
part in the massacre which caused the war, this
atrocious revenge would be none the less odious.
