Terrific Explosion.

A terrific explosion of nitro glycerine oc-
CURED about 7 o'clock on Friday, the Goth
ult., on the north beach of Bear Creek, be-
tween Parker City and Petrolia. John Os-
borne, who has been engaged putting in
the new torpedo for which Peek & M'Kan-
ma are the agents, started from Parker City
this morning for Petrolia in buck board,
carrying with him $50 pounds of nitro gly-
cerine. He had reached the crossing at
Bear Creek when the explosion took place,
the exact cause Of which will forever re-
main mystery. The buggy was literal
ly torn to atoms, the largest piece being the
shafts. Some portions Of it were carried
quarter of mile and lodged on the roof of
farm house. The hind parts of the horse
are not to be found at all, and three shoes
were torn from his feet, but the fore legs
were but little injured. The unfortunate
mans heart was found in Bear Creek, a
distance of 100 feet from where the explo-
sion took place. 1t was split in quarters
from the large end down to the point, as If
it had been cut with knife. The ground
was ploughed up for considerable distance
around the spot, and the trees are bespat-
tered with the blood and entrails of the
man and horse.

Murder bY a COngressman.

A despatch from Tuscumbia, Ala, says I:
"A year ago George F. Long was for
hidden by the Hon. j. H. Sloss, member of
congress from this district, to have any
communication with his daughter.
Long was indignant, and recklessly de-
nOunced Mr.. Sloss and assailed the daugh-
ters character. MR. sloss returned from
Washington on Friday evening last and
learned the facts from the daughter.
On Sunday evening he stood at an up
stairs window and fired upon Long, who
was on the opposite side of the street.
Long received four buckshot in the skull,
another through his neck, and two in his
body. The attending surgeons declared
that he cannot survive. sloss confesses to
the shooting and he is now in the custody
OF the sheriff

IT isnot often that a partisan paper says
any thing that will SO generally commend
itself to those Of the opposite party, as the
following from the Harrisburg Patriot.
"Tbe new democratic state government
in New Hampshire is now engaged in the
petty business of substituting, as far as
may be, democratic for republican officials
throughout the State. In this action they
are but following the precedent set them by
republicans few years since. But re-
publican precedents are dangerous, and
not in consonance with the good old
Jefiersonian doctrine of retaining capable
and honest public servants as long as pos
sible in the public employ. 1t would have
done much more to consolidate democratic
strength in New Hampshire if all removals
had been confined to the wedding out of
unworthy men,"

Hon. EUGENE HALL who was appointed
Post Master General, has resigned after
five days service. There not being any
man in the United States capable of filling
the vacant place, the President has offered
the position to Hon. Marshall Jewell, now
minister at St. Petersburg, and he has no.
titled the President by Gable that he will
accept the position. This will give some
other politician an opportunity to draw a
few thousand dollars from the United States
Treasury for an outfit There is nothing
like having the right man in the Office, if
he has to be brought from Europe.

tE- The liquor dealers of San Francis
co are preparing for a desperate resistance
against the local optionists. They have
formed an association called the "Personal
Liberty League" and adopted series of
resolutions, one of which reads as follows /:
"That we consider that the provisions of
the Local Option law, which only allows the
sale Of wines and liquors in quantities of
five gallons, only deprive the poor man,
who is unable to stock his cellar with wines
and liquors, of the comforts of life to which
he may have been accustomed, while the
rich man will in no manner be affected by
this law and we further consider that a
law which makes it misdemeanor for a
host TO offer glass of wine to his guest at
his house,i is disgrace to the statute books
Of the wine producing State Of California. +"

GREAT reduction has been made in the
number of clerks employed in the Treasury
at Washington. The greatest reduction
was made in the Bureau of engraving and
printing, from which nearly 800 were dis
charged, mostly females. The scene of
dismissal was marked by sadness. Four
teen Of those discharged tainted when the
announcement was made to them, and
physicians were called to their assistance.
Forty clerks were dismissed from the
second auditors Office, and other dis
charges were made shortly after. 1t was
recommended by the Bureau officers, that
only one of a family be retained and this
recommendation was generally followed

suffering which, however, will be some
