Lime Explo'lon-Iniury 20 Two child


A serious accident happened on Monday
morning last to two sons of Mr.. Thomas
Anderson, grocer at No. IL North High
street, who resides on the east side OF Wa1
ter street, between State and Town streets.
The names of the boys are Benjamin and
William, aged respectively ten and thirteen
years.
Mr.. Anderson had on Saturday procured
a large chunk or lump of unslacked lime
to use about the premises at his dwelling
house. He broke off small piece and
Stacked 1t by pouring water upon it. This
operation was observed by the two boys,
who, during their fathers absence on Mon
day morning, seem to have taken 1t into
their heads to repeat the experiment upon
the whole lump.
Mr. Anderson had placed The lump of
lime in the center of his coal house, The
boys went into the kitchen and got some
water. Their mother observed them get
ting the water, but did not suspect their
intention. She was soon alter startled by
a loud and sharp explosion, resembling
that of a gun. Her first Impression was
that the boys had obtaineda a gun, and that
probably one or both of them had been
shot. She, however, SOON ascertained that
the boys had thrown or poured water on
the lump of lime in the coal house, and
that it had exploded.
one boy was thrown by the explosion
out at the door of the coal house, and the
other against the wall. The faces of both
were severely burned, as If with scalding
water. The most dangerous injury was
done to the boys eyes by the lime thrown
into them as well as into their faces. 1t is
feared that one of them at least will entire
ly lose the sight of one of his eyes.
The lime was thrown in all directions
on the walls and on the ceiling overhead
This accident shows the great danger of
carelessly tampering with unslacked lime,
especially, when in the form oflarge Jumps.

Decline and Fall Of the Austrian EN-.
r pire.
For the last twenty-five years Austria has
been going down. Hungary thrashed her,
and would have thrown off her yoke had
not Russia marched through the Carpath-
ians to her assistance; and now Prussia has
pretty nearly given her the coup dc grace
in q fOrtnight's campaign. She is fairly
brought to her marrow bones, and can no
longer rate as first class military power
Francis Joseph is unqucstionably the soft
est of European despots, and his generals
and counselors seem to be poor set, and
quite unable to cope with such energetic
soldiers and statesmen as the Prussian
princes and Won Bismarck and his minis
terial associates. The Austrian govern
mcnt has been out-diplomatized, its militia
ry magnates have been out-generalled, and
its armies Quit fought and doubled on. All
this has been accomplished in so short a
space of time that the result seems like the
effect of magic. The only necromancy
employed, however, was that of superior
brains and superior arms. The Austrian
military equipments were score of years
behind tho age. Obsolete "shooting-irons,
charged from the muzzle, had of course no
chance against breech-loading rifles that
returned six shots for one. 1t was nothing
less than deliberate murder to oppose men
armed with such slow-going weapons, to
soldiers who carried repeating arms with
half-a-dozen death-shots to the tube. Mar
shall Benedick's strategy seems to have
been the climax of infatuated stupidity
While he was "manmuvring," the wide-a
wake and active Prussians were insulating
him from the federal auxil aries and har-
rying the territories of the latter with i'm
punity. One would almost suppose that
there were traitors in the Austrian camp,
for every movement of the Kaisar's troops
seems to have been in the direction most
to DO desired by their enemies. A moro
complete "fzzle'' than the House of Haps-
burgh has made of it is not to be found in
the annals of modern warfare. Well, so
much the better. One despotism, the most
bigoted in Europe, has gone by the board;
and although we have no sympathy what
ever with the victor, we rejoice that the
bitterest foe of liberal government in all
Christendom has received its quietus, while
a constitutional monarchy obtains by the |
result a large accession of territory. The |
world moves When despotisms destroy |
or cripple despotsms, the people are sure,
in the end, to be gamers. We recognise
in such events as the one that has Just oc-
cured the hand Of One who brings good
out of evil and governs the world better
than prime ministers. -Erctaage.

1t will be recollected that several weeks ago the
House of Representatives passed resolution declar
ing it inexpedient at this time to legSlate for the
payment of claims growing out of property appro-
priaed or destroyed by the Union armies in putting
down the, rebellion. Practical effect was given to
this resolution recently. when the Committee of
Claims discharged from the further consideration
of the resolutions of the Legislature of West Nir-
ginia asking aid from Congress to repair bridges &C.
destroyed ny Federal troops q means of safety.
The committee also reported adversely on the bill
for ascertaining and adjusting claims against the
Government for injury destruction of property by
the armies of the United States or by the military
authorities during the rebellion and the bill was
laid on the table, The committee was discharged
from large number Of petitions including forty for
damages arising from raids in July 1864 by the
rebels in the vicinity of Fort Stevens, seven miles
from this city.
There are agents in Washington who have in their
possession claims OF persons residing in the Southern
States for indemnity, amounting to millions of dol
lars, but the prospect of legislative action on that
subject is certainly far remote

Frozen 10 Death-A Fearful Struggle for
lift

From the Lansing uOwa) Journal, Feb. g.
On Thursday evening last, John Pult2 German
resident of Lansing, frozen to death within a
mile and half of home, under circumstances of the
most heart-rending character. He had been visiting
4 brother, who lives about ten miles from town, and
ut two O'Clock Of the fatal day started home on foot
accompanied by his two faithful dogs, the only wit
nesses of his hOTrd sUferings.
As the weather extremely cold, his friends
here accounted for his absence until Friday by the
suppOsition that his buSines, detained but not bear
ing from him Saturday, his wife became alarmed
and Il messenger was sent. who soon discovered the
sad intelligence Of the death of the missing man.
party made careful search for him, but not until
Monday morning was his body found being in
slough in over twV feet of snow, within little over
Il mile from home.
His track in the snow revealed the horrible fact
that he had lost the way it being dark, and that
long BEFORE foot had been frozen stiff and hav-
ing lost the of it, he had walked on one knee
dragging himself along with one hand long dis
tance, until he wore the pants that knee bare TO
the skin, and finally not giving up, he crawed for
ward with hands and knee until one arm became fro
zen, and then he laid down to die. Tie had, in his
bewiaereG and helpless condition. Travelled around
III circle far enough TO have reached home had he
kept the proper direction.
One of the dogs remained with him two days and
the other poor, dumb, afectionate animal remained
with him three days and nights lying upon his body
fseeking by its warmth to restore life and anna
tinn to its frozen master, and abandoning him only
when driven away by the keen pangs of hunger
