boiler explosion which happened at paper
mill in Schuylerville. New York, few davs
since. The boiler moved horizontally with
fearful velocity passing like an iron-clad ram
or combination of ftwo-humdred- pound shot,
through eleven buildings, wrecking them as
completely as if Sn earthquake had toppled
them over. The calamity took place at two
o'clock on Saturday morning, when many of
the structures were filed with slumbering
occupants, all unconscious of danger; and it
is really wonderful that scores of people
were not killed and wounded. Thus far. only
two of the victims have died. but several 9TH

VNHlS valuable preparation, containing in a
i highly concentrated fern all the properties of
the JAMAICA GINGER, has become one of
the most popular domestic remedies, for all dis
eases of the
Stomach and Digestive Organs.
As tonic it will be found invaluable to all per-
sons recovering from DEBILITY, whether pro-
duced by fever otherwise, for whilst it imparts
to the system all the glow and vigor that can be
produced by wine brandy, it is entirely free
from the reaetionary effects that follow the of
spirits Of any kind
1t is also an excellent remedy for females
who suffer from difficult Inenstruation, giving al
most immediate relief to the spasms that so fire.
quentis accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to NAUSEA, caused
by riding on railroad car, or by sea-sickness or
other causes.
1t is also valuable as an external application for

some days use will find renewed strength
and life pervade every organ OF their
frames. Cd. 3
Every dose makes the blood purer.-
the nerves commence in the arteries and
terminate in the veins. These pills, as
first effect, act upon the arte,al blood, in
creasing the circulation, by which mpuri-
ties are deposited in The veins, and they
throw off such collections into the bowels,
which organs. by the energy derived from
Brandrelh's Pills, expel them from the
system. When first used, the Pills may
occasion gripping and even make the pa
tient feel worse. This is an. excellent
sign, and shows the disease will soon e

without some trouble in its attainment,

Thunder in February,

Meeting an old friend from West New.
bury the other day, he reminded us of an
affair that happened there some years
since, over which We have enjoyed many
hearty laugh together. a i'.a
A gentleman residing in West New
bury, having missed good many sticks
from bis woodpile, his suspicious fell upon
well-to'do but misery ueighbor of his,
whom he thought capable Of the act. He
resolved, accordingly, to resort to the old
expedient of placing heavy log in a
tempting position, having first we'll oharg.
ed it with gunpowder, not only ID the
centre, but in several minor creyices.-
Sure enough, the stick disappeared, aud
one looking very much like it 'smight
have been SEEN" as james says, on the
suspected gentleman's hearth on the en-.
suing Sunday. Before it, ina huge tin
kitchen, a turkey was browning itself 10.
to climax. All of sudden, thunder.
ing explosion was heard, the tin kitchen
was blown iuto Thousand atoms, the dis.
membered turkey flew through the atmos.
phere, aud the old tom cat disappeared up
the chimney. The old gentleman and his
maiden sister were horribly "skeert," but
not materially injured, and the former
was the first to win his voice.
"Sister," said he, "that ere was the
loudest thunderI ever heard in Februa.
ry." ... ... .... .....
The next day, the plotter of the mis-.
chief sent q tin peddler to the depredator's
house. ..
"Want any tin ware Pr said tho YAM
kee. ...
"No, no" said the old gentleman, ties.
tily. ' ,rs
why, yes you d." rejoined the ped.
dler; "your memory must be dreadful
short. Most all your neighbors say as
how you want a tin Kitchen. -aE
A pair of tongs few through the air,
but the tin pedder lodged and made
"tracks." Looking in the window, hs
exclaimed. -..
"Better hev it now it's fust-rate ar.
ticle--warrant it to stand most any climate,
and all sorts of weather, from earthquakes
down to thunder" ~.
