TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AND WONDERFUL EsGAPE.-
In the NJ Y. Herald of the 2st ut. we find the fol-
lowing:
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, an explo-
sion occurred in q shed attached to the percussion
cap manufactory OF DR.. ]. Goldmarck, situated at
the foot of Carroll street, near Gowanus creek.
There are two buildings In one the caps are
packed up and prepared for market. In the other
which is a small shanty some 400 feet distant
the powder, or much as may be required for a
day 'swork, is kept, and where the dangerous part
of the business is done one man only is employed
here, and it Is very seldom that any other person
is permitted to enter The name OF the man now
employed is Otto Leist, German, about so years
of age. He was preparing some composition
when the explosion occurred 1t made u tremend.
Gus report, and attracted the attention of many
persons for great distance. The force of the eX.
poson impelled the structure high in the air, and
it fell with Lest, who was carried with IT, into tne
| middle of Gowanus creek, a distance OF about e
| feet. Every one expected TO find that Ldest had
been blown into atoms and great was the surprise
| of all when they saw him swimming to the snoTt
unaided. Two large spnters had pierced ms arms m
/ to the extent of about three inches one oi WHICH
| he drew out unaded. The other was extracted py
| Dir r " Smith Jr who was called to his assist
anee, He sustained number OF severe bruises
about the body and face, bnt none OF necessarily
| fatal character. Officers wilson ana hicMahoh' Oh
the Third Precinct police took him to his residence,
/ Ma n Carroll street. They asked him in relation
to the accident but he refused to give any account
of the manner in which it originated. He admit
| ted, however, that there were some eight or ten
| pounds of powder in the place at the time. His
escape from instant death is certainly remarkable.
| A building occupying the same site was completely
| shattered on the 18th December last, and another
/ erected in its place was blown down from like
| cause on the Tth OF January following, Two men
/ we're killed by these explosions. The name OF the
/ first was Ernest Hyer, and of the second Charles
Hallenheek. Liest was engaged in the saMle dan
gefeas employment that they were.

The AttaIa Chronicle of Friday last sayss
So far as We can learn, the farmers of our county
have the best prospects for aoandaD crops of corn
we have ever noticed at this season OF the year.
The liee however, is doing the cotton crop great
and decided injury. They seem to be in every field,
and almost On every stalk Of cotton.
The Port Gibson Reveille Of Saturday says:
After long drouth and after the farmers had
commenced to look loDg-faced ag they gazed on
the twisting blades of the corn, and at the stub.
