Serions Accidsnt-On Monday night last
lad named McCorlick, aged about thirteen
years, was seriously burned by the explosion
Of a bottle containing three or four ounces of
powder. He was sitting down at the corner
of 5th and Byrd streets, and striking match,
carelessly dropped it into the bottle, which
was between his knees. thereby causing an
explosion. The powder was driven into his
face in a frightful manner, and his right eye
was seriously injured.

SILK IN ENGLAND-French silk goods are
now admitted free of all duty in England. The
Manchester Chamber of Commerce sends the
following note in answer to inquiries made Of
it:
French goods are now admitted free of all
duty into this country, and we believe the
Chancellor of the Excheqner distinctly stated
that. although the commercial treaty did not
actually stipulate it, still we should not ex-
act from other countries any duties that We
DO not exact from France. We should think
certainly, that silk goods may now be brought
into this country from any part of the world.

Interesting Meeting.-By reference to our ad-

teresting meeting will take place this evening
at the Centenary Methodist Church. On pre-
yious evenings the attendance of children has
been large and the exercises deeply interesting
The children pass an hour singing beautiful
hymns, and recite dialogues and declamations,
and are as happy as SO many birds Of spring.
Of course their parents and teachers share
their pleasures, and altogether the scene il

San Francisco Herald says of the annual tour
OF families to the Atlantic States:
The annual visiting stampede for the ATTAIN
NC States has commenced. Every year about
this time people begin to sell off their furni-
ture and offer their houses TO let, and go East
10 pass the summer. This is probably because
the traveliSg is safer and pleasanier at this
season, and the pleasures Of society are more
accessible during the summer months ''at
nome" The best state-rooms for the outgoing
steamers are already engaged for the 2Uth in
slant, and many are taken for the 5th and both
OF April In July and August the rush will
be the other way. For these reasons there are
more houses to let now than at ary time for
six months past.

(Va.) Republican. noticing the "workshops of
nature" in Western Virginia, says:
The extent of her manufactory of gas down
IN the lower regions, near Maiden, ON the
Aanawha river, may be estimated by the fact
that when, in the spring of ls4i, in boring
SAT- well. at the depth of 900 feet the augur
struck the reservoir of gas, the stream Of gas
that rose to the upper surface was SO power
iul as TO shoot the whole boring apparatus,
consisting of 900 feet of poles and sinker
weighing 500 lbs. into the air, like an arrow.
The stream of gas is three inches in diameter,
and has been blowing up with unabated force,
d*y and night, for Sirteen years. When our
railroad is completed. this gas may be turned
to some account. Pipes may be laid along the
road SO as to light up by night the whole road
East to Richmond and West to Cincinnati,
and then enough to spare to light up three
cities. That in this same region there is ar
extensive subterranean mandatory of oil,
admits of no doubt. The oil makes its APP
pearance on the water of our river, aud in
places comes up to the surface of the earth
Barrels OF il have been gathered. Thus nature
invites the search for the great reservoir that
is doubtless way down below
