Fluid Lamp Explosion,

We recorded, a few days since, the
burning of a lady by the explosion of
gas formed by the evaporation of burn
ing fluid. Such occurrences have been
very common. A fortnight since, ST
neon Draper went with a light to ex
anime a leaking gas pipe in his office,
when an explosion ensued, setting ire
to the building. The public are aware
of the narrow escape of Senator Chand-
Ter, of Michigan, from death by . sfmi
lar cause.
It should be borne in mind that hydro
gen, when mixed with oxygen or atmos-
pberic air of two or three times it's
| volume, and then set on fire will explode
with violence. The force of the ele-
ments thus exploding is stated by
Faraday to be equal 10 the power OF
many thunder storms. The gases used
for illumination are carbonides of hydro
gen, aud present the same phenomenon.
The common burning fluids, when heated
or suffered to ~decompose or evaporate
in a partially filled lamp, take the form
of a earbonite of hydrogen, which, upoe
mixing with atmospheric air, will ex
plode violently upon being brought into
proximity with a burning taper. The
mixture may not be as dangerous as
gunpowder, but its explosive properties
are as distinctly marked. Hence fuie
lamps should never be filled near &
burning wick, and a light should nevei
be employed in the examination of a ga:
pipe or metre. The catalogues of ga
explosions, camphene accidents, anc
deaths from carelessness with burning
fluid, are sufficiently numerous, on
would suppose, to enforce u admoni
tions-[N. Y. Post.
EM Mr.. HEARN, editor of the Con
stit11tion, at Van Vert, and his family
were the subjects of n of these acct
dents a few evenings since. Mr.. H. wal
engaged filling a fluid lamp-the lamp
which he was filling being ~lighted--whel
an explosion occurred, filling the room
with Hame, and burning Mrs. II, whc
was sitting near, seriously.

The Accident on the Buffalo and
New York Rai1road--Five Pei
sons KILLED.

[Prom the Buffalo CON-. Advertiser, Oct. 25,1
The night express train from New
York, coming west, met with an accident
this morning about nine o'clock, about a
mike east of Conesus, by which the en-
gine-tender, baggage, aud two passenger
cars we're smashed up involving a loss of
five lives, besides inlictiDg dangerous
and serious wounds upon others.
The train wxs running at the usual
speed, the track being oil an ordinary
embankment, a few feet above the level
of the country. The passenger and bag
gage cara, it was found, were off the
track, aud, before the speed of the engine
could be checked, they were completely
wrecked, the material composing them
being scattered over considerable space.
The engine remained upon the track,
the spreading Of which caused the dread
fHl calamity.
The accident. was soon telegraphed
