The dwelling of Henry Stowell, of Shutes-
bury, Mass, was entered on Monday night,
Jan. 3lst, by some desperate, revengeful
villain, who stealthily proceeded to bed
room in which Mr.. Stowell's daughter, El-
len, ia young lady of 10 years) and anoth-
er young lady were sleeping, in separate
beds, and administered to both sufficient
chloroform TO render them utterly helpless
and unconscious. He then, says the Am
herst Express, made several cuts with
some sharp instrument upon the forehead
of Miss Ellen, extending from The roots of
the hair to the eyebrows, and also upon
her chin. From these wounds the blood
flowed freely, but they are not serious
He also made a cash of some three inches
in length upon her breast, and probably
committed other outrages. On retiring,
she had taken the rings from her fingers
and placed them upon the table near her
bed; these were found upon the floor, bro
ken and useless. Her clothing of all kinds,
as well as whatever else belonged TO her,
including even her papers which the villain
obtained By breaking open her trunk, were
carefully selected in the room where she
slep and also in adjoining rooms, and car
ried away.
As other articles, many of them of val
ue, belonging to other members ofthe fam
lily, Were left undisturbed, it is obvious that
personal revenge upon Miss Stowell was
the object of the wicked depredator. Miss
Stowell recovered her consciousness about
daylight the following morning, and found
her face and bed clothing covered with
blood, and herself suffering greatly from
her wounds. The family were at once
aroused and diligent search instituted, but
no certain clue to the perpetrator had been
discovered at last accounts, although the
family have strong suspicious of the guilty
one The victim of this inhuman outrage
is an intelligent young lady, of much
amiability of character, greatly esteemed
by Mi who know her, and is not concious
of having made any one her enemy.

t;no ont towns along the Missouri. The
| ST. Louis Democrat, however has one from
n I. Bolton, dated Auraria City, Jan
10Th, which gives a slight glimpse of the
diggins. He represents the winter wealth
er so far, as very pleasant, that there has
been no suffering at the mines, and that
fine health has prevailed. The principal
amusements have been card playing, telling
yarns, and drinking most execrable whisky,
costing $40 per gallon, and worth 20 cents
in St.,Louis. Mr.. B. writes that he has not
seen white woman since he left The States.

| ing stories sent east BY interested persons
Some persons have already commenced
working in the mines; but SO far it pays
poorly. Diggers who have been the most
successful lave not averaged three dollars
per day.. and some have not made fifty
cents, working hard at that. The gold is
very fine. 1t takes from twenty to twenty
five particles to make the value of a cent.
The largest speck which have heard of,
weighs less than 25 cents in value. All
the large Jumps that you receive in St.
Louis, as Pixies Peak gold, were never OBJ
tanned in this regiou-they belong to CAL
ifornia. All the accounts of gold findings
of an extravagant character, are the fabrica-
ticns Of spectators. l wish to put, you
and others on their guard against these sto-
ries; especially Gen. Larimer's account
l will venture to say that he does not know
anything about the matter. | have not
found a good prospect yet; and | am on
the ground. l venture the prediction that
few persons will make fortunes hunting
gold in this country. But as ''seeing is

Thsre7 are more than two hundred cabins
built here; and two hundred more are TO
be erected before the last of March. A
good hotel will be- ready for "the boarders''
by the end of May. 1t is to be two stories
high, seventy-fve feet in width, and one
hundred and twenty feet in length. Spec
ulators are all ready busly engaged in lay
ing off cities around the diggins, and they
are the fellows who are sending to the
States such glowing accounts of gold dis
coverles.
If enough of gold is not found before
the latter part of May, many. now here
will go to California, New Mexico Arizona,
while not few will pitch their tents in
this new region for life.

The Akron Powder Mill Expio
sion.

The Dry House connected with the Aus
tin Company's Powder Mill at the Old
Forge, one mile northeast of Akron, was
blown up about half-past nine the morning
of the 18th, with terrific violence. The
building in which the explosion occurred
was situated but short distance from the
travelled road, at foot of steep hill. A
correspondent of the Dealer writes:
This building was literally blown to atoms
not even the foundation left. Another
building few feet distant was blown of
even with the first floor, and still another, a
few rods further off had the roof and the
side blown oui.
Several other buildings connected with
the works were unroofed and otherwise ma
terially damaged. A barn upon the hill
some ten or fifteen rods distant, was also
torn down, as was also the school house on
opposite side of the street; and the house
so which the barn belonged, SOME rods fur
ther distant, was rendered almost worthless.
In fact eve building within 100 rods was
more or less injured.
Fortunately, however, the alarm was Civ
en- before the explosion took place, and no
person.was injured. The school house was
vacant, the school having closed last Fri
day. @ site
l understand that Mr. Edgcrton, our
Representative elect from this district, was
riding down the hill, and discovering the
building on fire, gave the alarm, and i'm
lnediateIy put his horse 10 his utmost
speed. by which he succeeded in getting
past all danger. sss -'
The explosion was the result of some
defect in the arch or oven in which the
fire was kept. have heard the loss vari-
ously estimated at from three 10 six thou
sand dollars, but imagine that it is next
to impossible to estimate the entire loss at
this time, as the conclusion was sufficient
to damage windows and chimneys in Akron
and Middlebury. i.9oi

One Of the witnesses.

There was q novel incident in the Court
Ronm at Millersburg last week, during the
strial of case. The counsel was pleading
in ahoney-.ongued eloquence," the jury
were listening intently and making ear
trumpets of their hands SO that not a word
should be lost, and even the judge bent
over bis desk to catch every drop of the
stream of eloquence that was gushing forth,
when suddenly the speaker was frozen into
silence in the midst Of brilliand period,
the whole assembly was startled, and hor-
rifed by loud "bI-a-a-t' that echoed So
noriously through the hall. The sheriff
jumped up in wrath to demand the cause
of this insolent interruption. There was
a slipbt scuffie at the door, and then asin-
