Hon. Charles Sumner arrived at New

At Yonkers, N. Y, on the 25th, four
youths, whose ages ranged from sixteen to
twenty-one years, being out for sport, en-
countered four cans of nitro glycerine, which
had been deposited il an excavation two
feet deep on the line of the newly con-
structed portion of the New York 81 Boston
Railroad. Two of the young men wanted
to see what effect an explosion would have,
and SO dropped large stone upon the cans.
The tremendous explosion which followed
was heard for miles, and shook the houses
in the vicinity. Two of the party were hor-
ribly mutilated, their limbs being blown
in all directions, and their remains were
scarcely recognizable. The other two were
frightfully wounded, but might recover.
Up to the 9th, nine bodies had been re-
covered from the ruins of the Boston fire.
Five of them had been identified. Nine
teen bodies supposed to be buried in the
ruins were still missing
An investigation of the late nitro glyce-
rine explosion in Westchester County, N
Y, resulted in the ccnsure of the contractor
on the railroad for leaving the nitro -glyce-
rine exposed to the public. Neither the
head nor the legs of George Hill, one of the
killed, could be found.
Horace Greeley died at Tarrytown, n. Y,
at $50 on the evening of the Goth ult. He
was unconscious early in the day, but the
state of Inconsistencies passed away in the
afternoon, and though very weak he was
perfectly conscious and conversed to an ex-
tent allowed by his enfeebled condition.
He recognized relatives and the friends at
his bedside and called some of them by
name. He gradually grew weaker, and his
death appeared to be painless. His last in
telligible words were: at is done" He
was sixty-one years of age, and leaves two
orphaned daughters, now grown to woman
hood, to mourn the death Of both their
parents within a brief time. The news of
Mr.. Greeley's death, although foreshadowed
by the previous accounts of his severe i'll
ness, caused feeling of universal and pro-
found sorrow throughout the country.
