Description.

A terrible disaster occurred at AspinwajI
on the 8 inst. There was a fearful! ex-
pIoeion on board the steamship European
destroying the ship and four hundred feet
of the wharf Tie cause Of the explosion is
supposed TO be from nitro glycerine on
board. About fifty persons were killed
among them the captain and Ulcers OF
the ship. The. ship was almost literally
torn to atoms, and every person Cd board
at that time was killed, fragments of hu-
man bodies being found at a great distance
from the place Of disaster. The entire
wharf, some four hundred feet in length,
was dem oiished, that part Of it opposite
The ship utterly disappearing. The Paa-
anna Railway Company's depot building,
heavy brick structure, was blown down,
and every building in Aspinwall was
more or less damaged The steamship
Caribbean, vessel of immense strength,
which lay near the European, was greatly
damaged some immense iron girdens
some twelve inches in depth, were snapp-
ed off like pipe stems, thirteen Of her
frames were broken, and knees of the
heavies: timber were torn from their
places.
The ship had on board seventy cases Of
nitro glvcerine which does not appear to
have exploded all at the same time, for
after The explosion The burning hull was
towed 10 The opposite side of the bay
where another explosion more terrible but
less destructive than :he first, shortly &C.
CURED, and in few minutes the burning
wreck disapI cared.

privilege Of saying few words iu private
to bis blde, he retired with her to a room,
babe her farewell, jumped from the wins

many days, but finally managed to elude
his pursuers, and. settled 10 Missouri. A
year later he wandered into New Mexico,
and from thence, in the course Of few
years. lie found his way into California.
During his wanderiDgs be had failed to
correspond with his wife, and she believing
him dead, married again. After time

few months ago he altered bis determine

an account of the death Of the husband Of
his wife, and knowing her to be free, he
wrote her letter, telling her that he
