dispatch, that on last Friday evening, the
9th Street Methodist Protestant Church in
Cincinnati, was partly destroyed by the
explosion ofthe gas pipes. About I o'clock,
says the dispatch, some fifteen persons as
sembled in the basement of the church for
the purpose of holding meeting, when
strong odor was observed. Efforts were
made to discover the leakage of the gas.-
Light was applied to the meter, when
blaze burst forth, but was oxtinguished by
a bucket of water. @ let had been some-
what restored, when tremendous explo-
sion occurred, tearing up the floor, shat
tering the walls, and making a perfect
wreck of the entire basement. In the up
per part Of the church, half of the pews
were torn up, windows blown out, and por-
tions of the floor blown as high as the cei-
ling. The doors were blown off their hin
ges and forced into the street. The ex-
plosion was heard q distance..of half q mile.
Eightor ten persons were injured severely
two or three are not expected to recover.
Among the injured is the Rev. d. KIN.
NEY, President of the Ohio Conference Of
the M. P. Church, who had just arrived in
the city, and was standing on the pave
ment,. in front of the Church. Mr.. X,
was prostrated by the shock, and frag-
ment Of glass pierced his left eye, and it is
feared, has entirely destroyed it.

DEATH OF A FINE HoRsE.-OnTSatur.
day evening, last, an accident occurred on
the Sleubenville tand Richmond Plank
Road, that came very nearly resulting
seriously to couple Of ladies', and which
Terminated in thesdeath of fine horse.
1t appears that two daughters Of Mr..
D. MCGOWAN, of this city, together with
a younger brother, who was acting in the
capacity Of driver, went sleighing. They
had proceeded some one or two miles,
when the boy alighted at dollhouse for
the purpose of warming his feet. The
sisters taking the reins, continued onward,
intending to take short drive upon their
own hook, and take the boy in, on their
return homeward. When they had
proceeded asnfar as what is called Lin.
duff's Dua7s which is narrow fill Of
several hundred feet in length, and from
Toto 20 in height, the ladies' thinking
they had gone far enough, concluded to
turn, and come back, when about hall
way on this dump. In the attempt to
turn, the sleigh dropped off on one side Of
the track, and the horse slipping on the
snow, was dragged over after it {; the horse
and sleigh turning complete somerset,
crushing the sleigh, and breaking the
horses neck, killing him instantly.
BY what Providence the ladies' escaped
is inexplicable.
