{ EXPLOSION OF A BOILER AND MILL
BURNED. learn from citizens living
in nSardis, this county, that an explosion
of one of the boilers of Mr.. Edwin
Hornbrook's steam mill occurred about
8 o'clock on Saturday evening, the 18th
inst, and about ] o'clock the morning of
the 18th, the mill burned down.
The cause Of the explosion appears to
have been caused by the connection-pi pipe
of the boilers becoming obstructed. But
q few moments previous the engineer
tried the gauge of one Of them,a ,and there
was plenty of water. After the explo-
sion, persons we're in the mill till II
o'clock and failed to discover any trace
of FIRE. The strapgest part of the .oc-
currence is, that no person was injured,
there being six or eight persons in close
proximity. The mill and contents were
valued at from $4,000 to $4,000; in
sured in Wheeling Companies for IS, 600.
Some doubts are expressed in regard to
the owner recovering the insurance, owing
to the explosion having taken place so
short time previous to the burning of
the mill.

Hercules came to the river Ewenus, where
our hero lived and ordered him to carry
his wife across. BE complied, because
he harbored the secret intention Of de-
priving Hercules of his wife. When he
had crossed over with his charge, ne gall

soned blood of the Lernean Hydra.
Ny 6,2,8, 2, 5 was the daughter of

been predicted to him that he should be

thwart the prediction of the oracle he
shut up bis daughter in brazen tower.
But his precaution was rendered inefec-
tual by Jupiter, who, descending in a
golden shower through an opening in the
roof of the building, made her the moth
sr.of Perseus. When Perseus was born.
bis grandfather committed both mother
and child to the sea in crazy bark. The
goddess of the deep brought the bark to

Of Ser.phos, il the Aegean sea. Perseus
grew to be as.rong man, and knowing
how much bis grandfather was delighted
with his skill in eyery>bodlly exercise,
one day resolved to give him splendid
proof of his dexterity; but alas! the, fatal
quot, as if directed by an evil demon,
missing its aim, struck the head Of Acris-

From the Hartford (Ct) Times
Peat Versus Coal--Interesting Facts.

Some facts were developed onlthe experiment
al railroad trip from this city to Springfield last
Saturday, with peat for fuel on the locomotive,
which are worthy of the public notice IN view OF
their bearing on the subject of our undeveioped
natural wealth. and important questions of econ
omy.
Without attempting full speed, the trip was
made to Springfield in forty minutes, including
a stop of three minutes at Thompsonvills, which
ia five minutes better time than the regular ex-
press train makes.
On the round trip 400 pounds of peat we're
used. The box contains between two and three
tons, so it will be seen that peat is by no means
too bulky for long railroad distances between
cities 1t is thus proved land it corroborates the
results of the previous trial. that, compared
with coal, trife over one ton and quarter OF
peat is equivalent, on locomotive, to ton oil
coal.
This ton of COAL however, costs, the railroad
folks, say, seven to eight dollars. Peat, on the
contrary, can be furnished in abundance at one
dollar and fifty cents per ton The Hartford
and New Haven Railroad Company have paid
out, during the past year, over one hundred
thousand dollars for coal-using perhaps, twelve
thousand tons. They now own a peat bed ii
Berlin, contiguous to the line of the railroad
and containing eighty acres of peat, of great
depth, from which they can supply the machine
shops and locomotives with peat at Saving O
than Seps,ete7adS OF the annual cost OF coal
There was found to be but very little smoke
from the peat; what there was, was light, thin
and not offensive. Not one-tenth part OF the
smoke produced by wood and what is still more
important to the travelling public-no cinders.-
The whole substance burns to ashes. 1t wa:
found to burn the freest and to give the creates
rate of speed when the furnace-tull had burned
away to about one-third full.
Il generated steam faster than either wood oil
coal-gaining 80 rapidly that the furnace had te
be thrown open; and the last six miles of the
return trip was made without using particle o
fuel.
It the abundant peat beds of this and adioin
ing states are not surface peat-if they are deeI
enough to insure an abundant supply of the ar
ticle-the question: we think, has already beer
partially settled, that the of peat for fue
will, ere many years, become sufficiently genera
to reduce the price of coal. That these pea
beds aresactually Deep all that has thus far beer
ascertained goes to prove. That of the railroad
folks at Berlin, for instance, has, we are told
been actually probed to the depth of eighty feet
This is a surprising fact; but we are assured il ii

Friday OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ..
THE PROPOSED CANAE EXTENSION

The report Of Mr.. j. o. Hudnuss-who was
appointed under the authority OF the boards
of supervisors of Bureau, Henry and Lee
counties, to make preliminary survey of
the route of the proposed extension of the
Illinois and Michigan canal to the Mississippi
riysr.-furnishes the satisfactory information
that the proposed work is more feasible and
will cost less than was at first supposed.
The most serious difficulties, it was antlci-
pated, would be found in the construction OF
''teeder" to supply the summit level on
the divide between Bureau creek and Green
river. The latter stream is little more than
a succession of marshes. nearly dry in sum-
mer. and having TOO little "head" for the
purpose, even fit would afferd sufficient
supply of water. BUTT was found that
feeder from Rock river, near Dixon, could be
carried over q natural and easy route by the
building of two short and inexpensive aque-
duots,-one over Green river end the other
over DEVILS slough,-and thus an abundant
and unfailing supply of water could be OBJ
tanned, in addition to the advantage which
the feeder would give, of a branch canal to
the aourishing cities of Dixon and Sterling,
What the surveys have demonstrated is
the practicability of a canal from the Illinois
river to the Mississippi, GA miles in length,
with a feeder SO miles in length, or total
length of canal and feeder of 102 miles, at q
cost not exceeding 81 100000.
In view of the commercial Importance of the
proposed work, the estimated cost is certain.
ly inoonsiderable. The whole length of the
protected canal lies through one of the rich
est grain producing regions in Illinois. 1t
is calculated that it's effect would be to per-
manently reduce the cos. of transportation
at leas. five cents per bushcl, thus saving to
the producers on the amount shipped from
the region through which the canal would
pass, at least 100000 annually-s sum
that in three years would more than pay for
the canal, feeder and all. OF still greater
magnitude would be the benefits which this
new route of water communication between
the Mississippi and the lakes would give to
the vast productive belt stretching from the
Upper Rapids to the falls of St. Anthony.
What the New York and Erie canal is to the
regions bordering the great lakes, the Illinois
and Mississippi canal, with the proposed ex-
tension, would be TO the regions bordering
the upper Mississippi.
The question of building the proposed cam
al is one which will come before the ap-
preaching session of our Legislature. 1t
Ia 10 be hoped that the radical majority in
that body will possess sufficient wisdom to
give to the subject the consideration which
it's Importance demands and sufficient hon
esty not to pocket the appropriation, if the
Legislature shall conclude to make one for the
purpose.
