Explosion.

Explosion.
The steamboat Harry Dean exploded
her boilers on Saturday morning about
two miles below Gsllipolis, killing five
persons and wounding quite a number
of others. Among the reported killed
are Captain Briggs, of Ashland, Ken
lucky, and Captain George w. Norton,
eff this city. The news of the sad catas-
trophe reached here on Saturday
afternoon, and cast deep gloom over
the many friends and relatives of Mr..
Norton, who had just left his home in
this city on Thursday last, and was on
his way to Ironton, Ohio, where he was
connected With rolling mill and en-
gagged as its manager. Mr.. Norton was
member of the old firm of Norton,
Acheson g. Co., in The Belmont Iron
Works, and was highly esteemed by his
associates in business, for his energy,
forethought and prudence in business af
fairs. He leaves a wife and family and
many sympathizing friends to mourn
the sorrowful event that brought death
so suddenly and unexpectedly to- their
threshold. The i'll fated steamer took
fire Immediately after the explosion and
was. burned to the waters edge. The
steamer Edinburgh came along aoon al
ter the fearful accident occurred and
rescued the survivors and brought them
back to Gallipolis.

Doukey Cart.

Donkey Cart. ,TA1YCIwE
We observed donkey, between the
shafts Of little two-wheel concern, on
the street Saturday morning, which
seemed to attract considerable atten-
ton. The wheels were about two feet
in diameter and revolved about once
every minute The occupants of the
cart consisted of q man and woman,
who were perched upon q scat resem-
bling a rough slab, and the donkey
logged along in donkey style, when
suddenly the seat went down and the
driver and his wife went with it into
the bed of the cart. This little accident
caused us to notice the features Of the
man more particularly, and We .recog-
nized the familiar face of Mr.. Slime, the
rag gatherer, who made his advent into
the city some time ago footing tin
horn and driving two dogs attached 10
a little wagon. He has been successful
in business, and recently procured a
donkey, got married and settled down
in Fulton, where he is engaged more
extensively at his old occupation OF
gathering rags. gu,v .H--s.i,1u

Destructive Rire.

Destructive Fire.
Early Saturday morning the Burt &
Sons extensive tanuery, at Manning
ton. on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
was destroyed by fire. The building
was discovered to be on fire some time
before it was completely enveloped in
flames, bat the devouring element
spread with frightful rapidity, and be-
fore scarcely anything could be saved,
the establishment and its contents were
in ruins. The railroad employees and
citizens worked nobly, and succeeded
in saving several adjoining buildings.
The loss will be quite heavy. We are
not advised as to whether there was
any insurance upon the property.

Died.

Died.
Mr.. John Darrah, an old resident of
st. Clairsville, who was we'll known to
many of our citizens, died at his resi-
dence about five miles back of Bridge
port, on the National Road, after brief
illness, on Saturday last. Mr.. Darrah
attended our market for a number of
years as butcher, and formed many ac-
auaintances while in that capacity.
He recently purchased the old farm sit
uated near the Ramsey place, on which
is erected what is sometimes called the
Old Stone Tavern. He removed from St.
Clairsyille soon after he became the
possessor of the farm snd was living in
his new home at the time OF his death.
