TERRIBLE SUFFERING AMID SHOWS.
A correspondent of the Missouri
Republican furnishes that paper with
the following account of terrible suf-
ferine in the mountains in the far
West;
There had been considerable suf-
ering and loss Of life on the rang be-
tween Gallatin and the Yellowstone,
owing to the depth Of snow in that
locality. A man started for the Vel
lowstone with an OK team, and reach
ing tie summit, became hopelessly in
volved in the deep drifts. After nu-
merous efforts to get through, he con-
cluded to abandon the wagon, and tur-
ming the cattle loose, he wrote and
left note on the wagon, stating that
he had started to reach a CABIN some
two miles distant Another party
coming through after him, had also to
abandon their~wagon, and, while max
ing the road, discovered his wagon a.
most buried in the drift. On finding
the note, they started in search of him

ing his track as well as they were a
bic, they found that he had become be-
wildered. and travelled around and a
round without making any progress
towards the cabin. The trail finally
ceased in an immense drift, when bur,
rowing IN it, they discovered him roll
ed up in a pair Of blankets only slight
" frozen, but utterly discouraged and
patiently awaiting death He had
been in the drift thirty-two hours when
they found him. The party succeed
in reaching the valley in safety
About the same time one Of a party

\ TERRIBLE CATAsTRoPHE.-A Ma.
pies correspondent tells the following
singular story in letter dated Febru.
airy 25th
About noon last Friday, Naples
was startled by the sound of an explo.
sion towards Posil7ppo, ard it was soon
known that the powder mills there
had blown UP. Of sixty-three per-
sons who were on the SPOT at the
time twenty were found dead. eleven
wounded, seven unhurt, and the rest
no where = only mangled fragments
remained Of them. The powder mill
and several houses in the vicinity
were overthrown. Fortunately the
store where the powder was kept
after manufacture resisted the shock.
otherwise the mischief would have
been still greater. The cause of tho
explosion Is the most remarkable part
of the affair The director Of the
mills had raised suspicion by his ex-
travagant expenditures, and it was
discovered that he Systematically APP
propFlated to his own benefit large
portion Of the powder manufactured.
A party Of police, therefore, headed
by Inspector Vesta paid him visit,
and found ample proofs of his crime.
On seeing that his frauds were dis
covered, he found pretext for enter
ing room where about six quintala
OF powder were stored, and setting
fire thereto, blew himself, the police,
and all else. who were near, into
eternity. Rublic charity has been
active in subscribing for the poor
families of the sufferers in this horri-
bic tragedy

AUSTRALIA EXPORTING w ooI TO THE
UNITED STATES. Melbourne Ar-
gus, Of December 18th, says: /" An
experiment Of an interesting nature
is about TO be tried with one of the
staple exports Of this country. Hith.
erto all the wool exported from Aus
tralia has been sent TO London or
Liverpool, almost exclusively to the
former port. 1t appears, however,
that American buyers are infrequent
at the London sales, and to test the
United States market, fine ship
the Isabella Hercus-has been placed
on the berth fer New York direct,
carrying wool. The result will be
looked forward to with considerable
interest. It is very rarely that a
vessel sails from tlfis port direct to
the East coast Of America. This IS
only the second ship which we can
call to mind as having been placed on
the New York line during some years
past. If the Isabella Hcreus finds a
good market, a new trade may be
opened up.

y unfortunate mistake in the mat
rlmonial line occurred in this city a
few evenings since, and we refer to 1t
now more for the purpose Of putting
the unwary on guard, and preventing
future (" accidents" than for any other
reason. One Of our city clergvmen
was absent from home over night. A
New York clergyman who was visit
ing him remained in the family until
his return. That evening 4 young
man, accompanied bY a girl Who hung
tendcrly upon his coat-sleeye, applied
at the house. and modestly stated that
he and his fair partner would be very
much gratifed to be yoked for life.
and he wanted to see Mr..
l he visiting clergyman Informed him
tAat Mr.. ------ was absent. " But. +"
sald he, can perform the ceremony
just as we'll. The young man looked
at the young woman. and she looked
at him then he smiled and she smiled !;
then they both looked at the minister.
and there was a brief silence, which
was broken by the young man, who
SAID, " Well, you'll do, sir; come
along, Maria ;" and the parties en-
tered the parlor to proceed to busi-
ness The knot was duly tied, and a
certificate made out, and the newly
welded pair left to enjoy their honey
moon.
The next day the absent clergy
man returned. and his friend passed
over the fee he had received. being.
quite elated over the privilege he had
enjoyed Of doing service In his ab-
sence. Imagine his surprise when he
was told that the whole ceremony
was Illegal and the young man and
woman whom he had joined together
were made the victims of o sad mis-
take. In proof Of this, one of the
public acts passed by the Connecticut
Legislature, May. session, 1865, was
read, a portion of which is as fol-
lows:
Any clergyman regularly licensed
according to the forms and usages of
the denomination to which. he be-
longs, and located in any society in
this State upon an engagement to
continue rs minister Of such society
for a term Of time not less than SIX
months, and having charge thereof,
may join persons in marriage, and all
marriages attempted to be celebrated
BY any other person shall be roia.
Here was : dilemma. The New
York clergyman had acted from the
best Of motives, and had done only
what the laws of his own State would
have permitted him to do yet there
was the law, and he had received
fee and issued certificate for unit
