About Ave o'clock, last evening, . most
terrible boiler explosion occurred at Hem
dre's Foundry in this city, by which q
number Of persons were injured, two seri-
ously, and We fear fatally. The boiler was
blown through the roof Of the building,
knocking down the brick walls on part Of
two sides, lighting some three hundred feet
distant in the open space south Of the Foun-
dry. The building was crowded with men
employed in the various shops, and the
wonder II, looking ut the terrible wreck
which was made, that 30 few were injured.
Five psrsons were ENDURED. Marine Van

Tyler, assistant foreman, slightly injured

sons hurt.
The cause Of the explosion, we are sorry
to say, is found IN the attempt to make an
engine do twice the work and make twice

Two or three Of the city Pastors, W un-
derstand, propose to spend few weeks
during the Spring and Summer in the ar
my work Of the Commission. Many sup
posed that they knew all about the COM
mission, but found that the greatness and
extent of its beneicence were vastly under
rated by them. Its wonderful facilities for
carrying mental and spiritual food aud

ton in regard TO the work. Articles may

Never will this government be rich enough
