Novel Explosion.

Mr.. George w. Strong, living at Lo-
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since, a
new cook stove. After it had been in
use a few days, Mrs S. kindled fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about leav-
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &C., 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 of. 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 it
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. III. Stafford, Somerset,
Ohio

To the Public.

Having lost every dollars worth of
goods in our Store, by the fire on Wednes-
day morning, we desire to return our
thanks to those who have SO kindly ex-
pressed their sympathy, and particular
ly to the business men of the town who
come forward SO generously and offer
to stand by us until we are again estab-
lished in business. We ask not one dol
lar of any one except what is justly due
compelled to have, at once. We thank
the citizens of Somerset and vicinity for
the very liberal patronage heretofore
given us, and hope we will merit the
same in the future.

There is class of men in Congress,

There is a class of men in COngr ess,
and in our constitutional Convention,
who seems to imagine that they have
grown SO great that they may safely dis
regard the plainly expressed wishes of
the people. Congress hesitates about
the repeal of the salary grab, and the
Constitutional Convention adjourns over
the holidays, first voting itself pay dur
ing the interim.
Those men perhaps think that they
can so control the course of events as
to change the drift of public opinion IN
regard TO this matter. Sometimes, men
who are lifted to political positions of
honor, imagine themselves great states
men, and suppose they can marshal the
people in such order as they please
They will do well not TO fatter them
selves overmuch, and not to undervalue
the wisdom of the common people. The
men who give the Republican party its
inspiration and power are thoroughly in
earnest in their opposition to this glgan-
tic system of robbing the public treas
ury, and they viii not fail TO punish he
men who disregard their wishes-Nets-

full teacher of musical science.
Adelaide was for long time organist
forfthe Sabbath. school and church here
and slso in both the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches in Cardington, till
her health failed. At one time she
taught music in Uniontown, at which
time the Rev. G. W. Isaminger, then
pastor of the NJ. E. Church there, was
one of her pupils; who when here recent
ly spoke to some friends, in the highest
terms of Adelaide as a lady and teach
er. She was beloved by all where ever
she labored or was known. This noble
young lady united with the NJ. Z. church
in this place six or seven years ago, I'M
der the pastoral labors of the Rev. r.
W. Manley, and lived humble, Chris
tain life. Adelaide was peculiar,-she
never took part in any of the follies
common with young pople and never
mingled in the gossip about neighbors.
Her refinement and general intelligence
enabled her to converse upon topics and
questions of greater interest.
Her great aim was to be useful, hence
she would not be idle, and taught school
when she was not able for such work.
She was indeed useful, and her be-
reayed parents have the assurance, that
though she has been taken from them
thus early, she filled up the mission of
her short life industriously, nobly and
in useful pursuits, and has gone to the
Christians rest and reward. When l
visited her room after she was brought
home from Cardington, Ohio, where she
had been teaching for some three years.
I found ger very calm and patiently
trusting in Jesus. After this she suf-
fered severely and was often delirions
but never murmured, and was patient to
the last and passed away without strug-
gle.
We do not now understand why one
so pure, so amiable and SO faithful in
life's noble work should be taken from
US so soon; bnt the great and good Fa-
ther has said to her it is enough, come
home
''By thy hands the boon was given;
Thou hast taken but thine own:
Lord OF earth and God of Heaven,
Evermore,-thy will be done.
B. F. THOMAS, Pastor NJ. Z. Church.
