Wood VS.. Iron Ships.


The ''United States Mercantile dnd Ship
p,ny .idc,ti~er says Our ship yards,
which have been idle for some few years,
now begin to show some signs of activity.
Their idleness in main was caused by the
idea that prevailed that IRON ships would
superccde wooden ones. But experience
has demonstrated that iron ships do not pos
sess their faacied superiority. They wear
out mueh sooner than was expected. Yes
sells, winch years ago were rated at twenty
one years, have become unserviceable
They are worn out, being worth no more
than their weight as old iron. Such being
the results with iron ships, the navigating
and commercial interests are again turning
their attention to wooden ones. Orders
have been given for their construction, and
most of the ship yards ON the Atlantic
coast are doing more than for dozen years.
\ larger number If orders have been given
within sIA months than Ia Us many previ-
GUS years.

EXPLOSION OF 4 BHLLsvS.-A sin gulsr ae-
eidsnt is recorded in the Louisville Courier
Journal. A Mr.. Veith, blasksnith,; in the
city, commenced his work early in the morn
ing, az usual, by blowing up Ere in the
forge by means Of his bellows. After pump
ing the lever for some time, the coal being
we'll lighted and everything ready, 1t seems
that he leaned upon the lever until all the air
had escaped from tho bellows, and when he
relieved it Of the weight the bellows filed
with the gas from the forge instead of draw
ing air through the valve underneath. In an
instant The ga ignited by tho fire IN the forge,
and a terrific explosion occurred, which
sounded like the firing of cannon. The
bellows was tern to pieces. Several iron
missiles lying on the concern were hurried
to the roof Of the building, and large ham.
mer was sent whirling close to Mr.. Veith's
head, Fortunately no serious damase was
done except to the bellows, which was torn
to pieces, and to the nerves Of Mr.. Vefth,
who was badly frightened.

!, TIM suaz cAsat Fronthe opening OF the
Suez canal in November, 1869. to the end Of
1870, the tonnage passing through the canal
was 36,81s. During the year 1871 the tom
mage was I'll, 400. OF the whole amount
SOC, Gal tons were British, figures which show
that Britannia still rules great many waves.
At q ton the receipts Of the canal may be
easily calculated. Ii the bright picture Of
future trade held up by ID. DE Lesseps the
traffic of the canal was placed at ,6,000, 900
tons per year, and the receipts at 81, DOC, 900.
In a report made to his stockholders hst
July, II. De Lesseps estimates his receipts
for the year 1871 ct s2,c0o, 900, and his ex-
penses at a3, 100000. BY the above statement
Of I'll 400 tons, the receipts we've but 81.
542,8l7 for last year, leaving deficit Of more
than two and q quarter of million of dollars:
In 1870 there was deficit OF 81 100000, ma
king total sum of three and half millions
chargeable to profit and loss. De Lesseps
proposed in the report under notice loan of
100000, 30 rs to have balance on hand,
and he hoped at the end of 1874 to pay inter
est on shares. Now the canal hardly pays
interest on its bonds: -

A BRUTAL MURDHR.-On Monday Of last
week an old man named 2. s. Woodbridge,
residing about five miles from Bufords, on
the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, was
waylaid on his return home from the cement
works Of Locher, Anderson & Co., and
so badly beaten that he died on the fol-
lowing Tuesday evening. When found by
q gentleman named Bryant, the old man
was lying III ditch, with the back Of his
head crushed in, his jaw and cheek-bones
broken, and his face 30 terribly dishgTlred
from repeated blows that 1t was difficult to
recognize him. He was in an insensible
condition, and did not revive sufficiently
before his death 10 give any information as
to who were his murderers, Suspicion,
however, pointed to two men named George
and Virgil St. Clair, nephews of the muir
dared man, and on Saturday last they were
arrested, and on yesterday coroner's in
quest was held, which rendered a verdict
that Woodbridge came to his death by the
hands Of the prisoners, who were rcmanded
for examination before Justice Luck to-day.
The circumstances, as We learn them,
point strongly to the accused as the guilty
parties, and their object is believed to have
been to secure considerable amount OF
money (said to be about $500 which the de-
ceased was known to carry constantly about
his person. When found by Mr.. Bryant on
the night of the murder, the pockets of his
pantaloons were cut open and all his money
gone. The weapon used III committing the
deed, 4 heavy dogwood bludgeon; was found
near the body covered with the blood Of the
murdered man.
The murder, we learn, ha. created intense
excitement in the neighborhood where it was
committed, and there is q strong disposition
manifested among many of the citizens to
wrcak summary vengeance on the perpetra.
tors of the horrible deed.-Lynchburg Nctcs

SAVING A E-TnoUsAND-Do DOLLAR
STOCK OF CoAL.-Fire companies from Pitts
field and Albany worked day and night to
extinguish the fire in Colby's charcoal-yard
at Lanesboro', Mass. On Tuesday forenoon
Mr.. Colby, seeing no prospect Of the fire
being extinguished by water, decided to COM
mence covering the immense piles of coal
with dirt. He first had to buy strip Of land
from the meadow just north Of the sheds of
Mr.. Nures, and then dispatched messenger
to his mountain ore beds to bring all the men,
horses, and carts, to assist in the work. The
same thing had to be done some-years ago
at Cheshire, when huge pie Of coal there
was fired. On the 1st instant it was stated
that the covering Of the burning coal with
earth had been successful.

STRANGE EFFECTS or VNrdAR.-In Wash
ington few days since the landlady Of
certain clearinghouse in that city sent out
for gallon of vinegar. The servant brought
back the jug, and the cructs 4yerc filed with
the supposed vinegar. At dinner the land
lady perceived that her guests were using the
vinegar q pretty freely, and she was COM
PEELED to have the crlIcts refilled several
times. The vinegar( ~ had a strange effect.
The ladies began to chatter like magpies, and
some of the younger ones Logan to tell OF
love scenes. The ladies looked decidedly
spirituelle, though their tongues ratified AZ
fast as "a sewing -machine. The gentlemen
grew spirited, and talked with vchc,nenee
and volubility. Several members OF the Le-
gisIature were present. One inmginin. him
self in the representative hall, cast his eye on
the youthful wearer of blonde chignon, and
addressed her as "Ar. Speaker! call ths
previous question" Upon an examination
of the jug the so-callel vinegar proved 70
be-corn WbiSkey.

A PLEASANT. AccogHF or AN ExrLos1eS.-
The Dsnbury Netcs. Eiya the following
cheerful account Of the late disaster in that
town: "There was trifing affair in Branch
vile on Friday. Philos W. Bates has q
quarry about quarter Of mile east Of the
village. He is also the owner of 4 black
smiths shop near by, where he employs two
or three men to sharpen the tools used in
quarrying the stone for the shepaug road at
Bethel. In accordance with good old New
England custom, the powder used is kept in
the blacksmith's shop. There were two kegs
partly filed, and one key ,lnbroken, in the
shop at the time our story opens. 1t was
pleasant day. There was no bright sunshine,
but the general appearance of things out
doors was mellow and comfortable like. One
of the men was employed st the anvil ham
merins the sultry end Of q crowbAr. A few
grains Of powder had fallen upon the floor
while replenishing the quarry from the open
kegs.
awe came near forgetting to state this,
which is more important matter than at
first sight seemed probable. The other en-
ployes were busily engaged, IS the sons Of
toll are apt to be whom employed by the day.
A balsamic perfume filled the atmosphere OF
the shop. Suddenly a flake of streaming
hot iron shot from the anvil and down
among the grains Of powder, which held
their slumbering fires to the floor There
were few uunottced pops and flashes, then
came hiss as the flame shot over into the
open kegs. The man who held the crow
bar mechanically passed out doors. An
other son of toll who, with his back to the
danger, was looking through 8 window,
turned around in time to detect one end
of the shop in the act of moving of, fol-
lowed by comrldc whose shirt had gone
up in flame. The two partly-filed kegs
had exploded with the customary violence,
and the full keg was on FIRE. At this juno
ture was displayed an act Of heroism seldom
exhibited in Fairfield county. Mr.. Bates
seized the burning key 1.-THE wood, not the
powder, was burniugl and hurled it out into
the snow in time to quench the flames, save
the balance of his shop, and the lives of him
self and men. Two of the mon were badly
burned, portion of the shop was wrecked,
and two roosters who had been fighting near
by at once buried all aninlosities engendered
by the fray, and Immediately started over
the hill for home with the rapid and graceful
gait peculiar to those feathered Mormons."

to adjournment, at 10 O'Clock. The evidence
in the case Of DR.. James, charged with having
been engaged in q band called the kuklux,
or White brotherhood, having been con.
Guided on Saturday, the argument in the
case was commenced this morning by -
Slater, assistant district attorney, on the part
of the United States. His speech occupied
about two hours. After which Colonel
George {. Cabell commenced his argument
for the defence, occupying the attention OF
the court about three hours. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. r. w. Peatross, also for the
defence, but who was forced to suspend 8
portion of his argument until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, the hour for adjourn

Much interest is manifested on the part OF
this community in regard to the termination
Of this trial, it being the first case OF the kind
our citizens have been familiar with. A
large number of citizens from the upper part
Of this county and Henry are in attendance
as witnesses in this court.
The mud on our streets occasioned by the
big snow which fell on Friday night has been
very disagreeable to-day, which has caused
then to be quite scarce Of wagons, especially
those from the country, the roads having be-
come almost impossible. Many persons are
suffering for the want Of fuel.
This evening about o'clock loud crash
was heard, which, upon Investigation, was
found to have been caused by the falling of
the gable-end Of small brick house near
Main street, belonging to Dir. John Price,
thereby depriving its inmates of home this
cold and disagreeable weather. One lady
who lived in the house came near losing her
life, having passed under the wall only few
moments before. Il.
