Novel Explosion.

Mr.. George w. Strong, living al 10
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since, a
new cook stove. After it had been in
use a few days, Mrs. 5. kindIed a fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about lcav-
ing. terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, Sc, about
the room promiscuously, and creating a
great sensation in the neighborhood. but
luckily, doing no further damage.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
explosion was caused by powder which
had been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr.. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove. with the result
above stated.
Mr.. s. states that the stove is a re-
markably heavy and strong one. If il
had been one Of the light stoves, now in
common Use, the consequence might
have been very serious.
The name of this stove is the ''Sensa-
tion," said to be the best in use. and sold
exclusively by G. II. Stafford, Somerset,
Ohio.

school Question.

EDITOR Pass. 1t is a we'll known
fac, that the question submitted to the
electors of Somerset last summer to
erect new school house was lost main
" from the fact that the School Board
was considered incompetent to under
take such an important work. That
. Board pledged themselves at the time to
sign a petition to increase the number
of members (acsording to the late school
law from three to six members between
that time and the annual election as the
law provides. This, however, they now
positively refuse to do. Not a single
member will sign such a petition. And
as the law provides that at least one
of the members of the Board shall sign
it, the Board can not be increased by the
people, They say however that they
are all in favor of increasing the Board,
but not to let the people decide who
shall constitute this Board as the law
plainly provides, but on the other hand
intend to take certain dodge and APP
point this number themselves. The rea-
son these modern solons give for such
unheard Of presumption is that the peo-
pie might elect them in an improper To-
cality, land this must be avoided by all
means) and perhaps fail to elect men
with such calibre and business talent
as men should possess for such a posi-
lion.
We ask the question is not such con-
duct an outrage, and calculated to keep
our schools at the poor, low standard
they are to day? Will the people Of
Somerset suffer, without expressing their
Indignation, one of their greatest COM
mon interests whilst our town shows
signs Of life and progress m every
hand, to be dwarfed, and made to suf
fer because of the whims of a few men

American scenery, than which none is
more beautiful, very properly holds the
leading place in the March issue of The
Aldine. Three charming pictures, by J..
d. Woodward, represent some of the
most striking scenes in North Western
Virginia. a nobler specimen of the
wood engraver's art has never been pro-
duced than the full-page rendering of
Woodward's "Belcony Falls, James
River" The artist and engraver have
worked lovingly together, and the result
is what may be boldly called a perfect
picture. The second picture of this
series is striking view of the wonder
full Natural Bridge" and the third rep
resents-a lovely spot on the James Riv-
er, above Rope Ferry" The trumpet
flowers, and other vines, twine graceful
ly over an old maple tree in the fore
ground. c. Metals, French artist, has
an ideal picture Of Poland full
page picture, representing a woman,
shackled. barefooted, seated amid snow
and ice, crushed down with SORROWS, but
not snbdncd. Fritz Paulsen contrib. ties
a full-page picture, Her Treasure .
showing the interior OF a chamber,
with group of ladies standing about
a cradle, in which there is a sleeping in
FAINT. This picture is artistic and beau
tiful in all of its details. "The Wolf
turned Shepherd is a fine picture by
Dore, illustrative of one of La Fon-
taine's fables. "Laying Out Town" A"
is a chidlife picture, eminently life-like,
| by John S. Davis. Specht contributes
| two magnificent cuts of animal life, one
representing English Greyhounds," and
the other "Wild Boars," fine contrast
| between domestic and wild animals An
excellent portait of Annie Louise Cary,
| in the character of Amneris, in the new
opera of 'Aida," embellishes this num-
Der. Another large portrait picture
represents "Goethe at Home. in the
chamber where he spent his childhood.
The "Return of the Exile" by T. F.
Rosenthal, is beautiful picture which
depicts and incident in the life of a
Spaniard, who returned to his castle to
find it in ruins. From the above list OF
illustrations ii will be seen that the
March Aldine is remarkably rich in
