STEAM EXPLOSION IN A PRINTING OFFICE.-A
terrible explosion happened on Tuesday, last at
the Office of the SsatiHsI at Indianapolis The Jour
nal gives the following account of the catastrophe
About a quarter past ten o'clock last night the
new boiler Of the Sentinel Office which had just been
put up, and was being tried for the first time,
ploded The office was in process of removal from
the old location to the Capitol House. which had been
leased by the establishment, and portion of the
presses had been set in order ready for work, and
most of the cases had been removed. The boiler
was placed on the West side of the open court or
yard Of the house. and steam had been raised in it
for the first time to try it. The engineer and one
or two others we're standing by at the moment:
raj hands werein the job and news rooms and two
three in the press room. The explosion dashed
several Of the men from the boiler room into the
press room, blew the boilder head and portion Of
the chimney through the Intervening WALL forced out
the greater part of the east wall of the wing, and
let the floor of the two upper stories down, with all
the type and materials in them, making scene Of
ruin and confusion unparalleled in our experience
The noise Of the explosion was deep dull roar and
shook the buildings for several squares around
When reached the scene Of the disaster we found
the press room, on the ground floor of broken
presses laths Oists, and plaster, full Of steam and
smoke. The wall that had not been blown down was
forced a foot two out Of the perpendicular, the
floors all crushed into mass at the bottom, with
portion of the boiler underneath, and worst of all
the body of a man crushed and blackened under the
boiler After great deal of effort the heavy iron
mass was removed, and boy, named George Ho-
man, taken out harribly crushed and quite dead
Mr. Randall, the foreman Of the news room, was
badly hurt, as was boy named Fred AIudbsrger;
also Frank Schiller, Jacob Lex, and a of Mr..
Doughty, one Of the Proprietors None ofthese were
dangerously hurt, we believe. fire was discovered
in two or tire places, but extenguisded without
damage, the citizens working faithfully to prevent
injury The Sentinel will be removed TO the old 10
cation at once and the proprietors will proceed with
out delay to get to work again

In passing through any ofthe markets Of cur eoun-
try at this season Of the year. one Is struck with the
great sacrifice there is made Of calves for veal while
the same time statistics from various parts Of the
country show that there is a constant falling of in
the supply Of beef cattle compared with the increase
of population. This is evident, too, from the fact
that there is a constant and steady advance in the
price Of beef In our western markets beef has in
creased in price more than one hundred per cent
within few years. while the price in the Eastern
markets has now reached from u to Is cents per
pound and upwards.
In looking over recent report Of the New York
Cattle market, the number Of beeyes sold on the
great sale day for one week was 1873 against g. 1876
for the week previous, which is O22 head less than
the average per week for the year 1856 In addition
to these there we're sold the same week ~ veal
calves, with lambs and swine to increase the whole
number Of head sold in one week to 4, 100. OF the
number Of beeves reported for this week 996 were
from the State Of Illinois and $50 from Ohio besides
a considerable number from Indiana and Iowa. This
entire lot was sold at prices ranging from lO3 to y
cents per pound. What the advance is upon these
prices at the retail markets we do not know, but
presume that the retail price is not far from 10 to
10 cents per pound. AT these rates we do not know
how farmer better dispose Of his grass, corn
stalks and grain than TO convert them into beef
Stock raising is Of the most pleasant, well
profitable branches Of farming. 1t requires less
toll while at the same time the feed that's consumed
upon the farm, and the returns made to the soil in
the form Of manure, is matter Of the first impOr-
lance to the farmer. In selling the hay and grain
from the farm, there isa constant drain upon the
soil, that without the best management viii lead to
ultimate steriy, while if the crops were consumed
upon the farm, the improvement resulting therefrom
10 the soil, would in some instances equal the in
terest upon hevaue Of the land With little care
in the preparation Of the food calves can be raised
with a small proportion of milk
We hope that the several stock breeding companies
that are now going into operation in different parts
of the West, viii have favorable influence on this
department Of farming.-Lou. Conrier
