tremendous noise, throwing the top anvil quite
distance The discharge is said to be as ioud as
a large cannon. -,
The ground around the anvils was strewn with
straw, and it was carslessly allowed to remain
there. The powder used was done up in piece

this fact young Leishman stopped over to gel
powder for a second charge, when the iShted
straw set fire to the paper Of powder, and It's en-
tire contents, nearly two and half pounds was
exploded in his face, wOunding him fearfuiiy
