BLowx Ur.--Wc learn that the steam mill
OF Mr. Smith, near Lebanon, in this county,
burst the boiler . few days ago, killing the
engineer instantly. The loss OF Mr.. smith is
from $500 to 800. the boiler being entirely
ruined, with other damages.
+. S.-Since the above WAS written We learn
that 1t was through an act Of careleasness on
the part OF the engineer that the explosion Oc.
Cured by which he met an untimely death. He
WIS blown 100 yards from the mill, and the
boiler moved its full length, both heads being

The st. Louis Intelligencer has letter from
Memphis, Scotland county, giving the return of
the vote for Governor, OF that county, as CERT.
tied by the County Clerk, giving Stewart 427,
Rollins 406. In the official returns vt Jefferson
City, Scotland lis set down as giving Strws
Aus, Rollins 3OS-a difference against Rollins OF
nearly loDvo,cs. That Rollins was the Govern.
or really chosen by the people Of Missouri will
hardly be doubled by those who have watched
the progress o. the contest aud the collection of
the return; but we have no belief that the
frauds Of the canvass will ever be fully exposed
and corrected. Every department of the State
Government, with tie returns from the back
counties, Is in the hands Of the Slave Democra-
cy, and they will know how to cover their
tracks. But they will be well watched next
time.
