The Akron Powder MIN Explosion.

The Dry House connected with the Austin
Uompanys Powder Mills, at the Old Forge, one
mile northeast of Akron, was blown up about
halfpast nine the morning of the 18th, with
terrific violence. The building in which the ex-
plosion occurred was situated but short dis
tance from the travelled road, at the foot of a
steep bill. A correspondent of the Dealer
writes #
This building was literally blown to atoms,
not even the foundation left. Another build
ing few feet distant was blown off even with
the first fo1r, and still another, few rods fur
ther off had the roof and one side blown out
Several other buildings connected with the
works were unroofed and otherwise materially
damaged. A barn upon the hill some ten or
fifteen rods distant, was also torn down, as was
also the school house on the opposite side of the
street; and the house to which the barn be-
longed, some rods further distant, was rendered
almost worthless. In fact every building with
in 100 rods was more or less injured.
Fortunately, however, the alarm was given
before the explosion took place, and no person
was injured. The school house was vacant. the
school having closed last Friday.
understand that Mr.. Edgerton, our Repre-
sentative elect fromth district was riding down
the hill, and discovering the building on fire,
gave the alarm, and Immediately put his horse
to his utmost speed. by which he succeeded in
getting past all danger.
The explosion was the result Of some defect
in the arch or oven in which the fire was kept
up. have heard the loss variously estimated
at from three to six Thousand dollars, but i'm
agine that it is next to impossible to estimate
he entire loss at this time, as the conclusion
was sufficient to damage windows and chimneys
in Akron and Middlebury.

me Adop1ion Of Children.

:. The bill Of Senator osnfeld s'to authorize the
adoption of children" has passed the Senate
and probably will the House. 1t provides that
any single person, male or female, or any hus-
band and wife, may adopt any minor child with
the eOnsent Of the parent or guardian The
process is by petition to Court, when the wife
is to be examined separate and apart from her
said husband, and if the Court shall be satisfied
of the fitness and prOpriety of such adoption, it
shall make an order declaring the minor to be
the child henceforth of the adopted parents,
changing its name, and divesting the natural
parents of all rights in regard to it. The child
to be the legal heir of the adOpter, entitled to all
the rights, and subject to all the Obigstlons OF

ruscarawas Items.

We learn by the Advocate that from $4,000
to $4,000 have been paid to the Tuscarawas
farmers within the last few days for HOrses.-
Some fifty have been purchased by Eastern

A sad accident occurred on Friday. The
twin sons of Joseph Forney, of York, aged l6,
were hunting rabbits, and falling tree they cut
down crushed one of the lads to death.
A little boy, two years old, son Of Mr.. Geo.
Noel, of New Philadslphia, narrowly escaped
death through the carelessness of his mother on
Wednesday. She put arsenic on small lump
of dough to poison rats, and placed it in clos

brought up the poison in time to prevent fatal
consequences.
Six persons, some of them heretofore of un-
blemished regulations, have recently been ar
rested in Tuscsrawas county, for passing eOun-

citement in the communities where the men re-

Board Of Lake Underwriters.

We learn by the Chicago Tribune that the
meeting of the Board of Lake Underwriters in
that city last week was unusually large and in
terestihg, and passed off very cordially and sat
isfactorily. Rates of insurance on cargoes were
lowered on Sd class articles 3S3 per cent. from
I'd class, the Ist and I'd class remaining the
same as last year. Measures were also taken
to simplify cargo policies, and make them uni
form, and rendering them more valuable to the
holder. Rates on vessel hulls remain the same
as last year. The former system of Inspection
by Inspectors located at different points on the
Lakes and River St. Lawrence, was re-adopted.

~T To THE prRTIC A. n

~ TO THE PUBLIC-As the season is
now upon US in which there is more or less
suffering caused by that plague of the west,
viz. chills, fever and age, or, as many term it,
fever and ague-we would call attention to the
advertisement of DR.. Mann's Ague Balsam,
found in another column of to-day's paper. If
welgive credit to the numerous testimonials
therein given of the high esteem placed upon
this medicine of men of high standing and
worth, from all parts of the western world, we
are led to believe that it is great remedy, and
one on which the public can place confidence
as to its efficacy. We have long looked for that
period when some remedy might be discovered
and offered to suffering humanity as a complete
antidote to malaria, and from evidences we see
in favor of the Balsam, we are led to believe
that that time has come, and that no one need
any Longer suffer, when tlIey aan procure q t~E-
he OF this medicine Sold by all good drug

The Tribune's Washington despatch of the
18th, has the following notice of the extraor-
binary Message of President Buchanan
The Presidents seniIity was practiced upon
with gIeat success BY new operator to-day -
The latter, enVious of his colleagues (Mr. Sill
delrs) success in procuring the Presidents en-
dorsement of his wild Cuba thirty million brib-
ery and corruption scheme, brought out from
the Executive mansion to-day an appeal to Con-
gress to hurry through the passage of his
(BeDjamin's) bill, giving the President power to
make war upon Mexico, the Central American
and South American States at his discretion.
Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Fessenden, on the Re
publican side, exposed and denounced the meas
ure as unconstitutional. Mr.. Slidell and Mr..
BENJAMIN finding that the two Presidential
measures, embarrassed each other, and were
like to prove mutually destructive, like the Kill
kenny cats, contended each for precedence of
his scheme over that of the other. Mr.. Benja-
min, in his anxiety to rescue The President,
came upon the keen lance of Mr.. Fessenden,
and was fiayed Mr.. Douglas went the whole
animal for compliance with the Presidents re-
commendation, which, however, he insisted
must be extended, so as to enable the President
to make war upon all States, both great and
small, at all times, ano unoer all circumstances.
Jefferson Davis went over to the side of Seward
and Fessenden against Buchanan and Douglas
to the rescue of the Constitution.
Mr. Slidell appealed for unanimous consent to
keep a resolution alive which he had offered
yesterday for proposing night sessions next
week to secure the passage Of the Cuba bill
Mr.. Mason objected, and refused the consent.
Mr. SlideIl appealed to Mr.. Mason to listen to
reason. Mr.. Mason refused to listen to any
thing, and called Mr.. Sidell to order.
Nj Collamer got the floor on the Presidents
last exhibition of imbecility, and the Senate
adjourned. All is confusion in the ranks ofthe
Democracy.
