CAPTAIN DAVID BROWN IN THE FIGHT-wHAT HE
Bald WHEN THE BRITISH FIRED BULLETS.
Mr.. Adophus Brown, formerly of this city, long
connected with the Delaware Railroad, and now
General Freight and Passenger Agent of the
Junction and Breakwater lines, is a great grand
son of that Captain David Brown who command
ed company of 50 minute men" and fought the
British at Concord, on April 10Th, IT'S. He had
in his possession until just before the recent Gem
tennial celebration of the battle his great grand
fathers flint lock English musket, carried by him
in the memorable encounter. The mushet before
the Concord celebration, was taken by
the present Mr.. Brown and presented
to the Historical Society of Massachusetts, where
it was placed in the collection of that society.
Mr.. Brown complains of the injustice done to
the memory Of his great grandfather by MIR.
Hudson's article in the May number of Hdrpe''s
Magazine, which says that when Captain Brown
saw his men falling around him he excitedly ex-
claimed cd d--n them they are firing
bullets." Mr.. Brown says the captain was by no
means profane, but quite a different kind OF man,
and that Instead of irreverently using the Ian.
guage attributed to him, he did, when he found
the British were firing in deadly earnest, in as
constituent say ''Great God they are firing
bullets" the expression being forced from him,

Terrific Explosion in Boston,

A FoUR-sToRY BUILDING Thrown TO THE GROUND
CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION uNKNowN-A NUM-
BER OF PERSONS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED, AND SEW
ERAL KILLED.
A dispatch from Boston, late last evening, re-
ported a terrible explosion in j. d. Dow's drug
store, five-story building, on Washington ST.,
corner of Lagrange.
At late hour nothing definite was known Of
the cause of the explosion, though numerous
theories are current and the widest rumors are
in circulation. At the time. Of the explosion
there were known to be abont % persons
In the building proper, nearly all OF
whom were more or less :. seriously
injured. The first intimation OF the disaster was
a deep rumbling sound similar to the report of
an earthquake, and almost simultaneously the
walls of the building burst outward in every di-
rection, and, falling in one confused mass, pre-
scented scene of wreck seldom witnessed, and
more complete than that Of any Of the buildings
blown down by gunpowder during the great fire.
The force of the explosion was almost beyond
description. and the flooring and other infiamma-
BILE materials, which at once took fire, made such
an undertaking for the fremen es they are sell
dom called upon to face, while the fact that
number of human beings were buried in the
burning ruins created the widest excitement,
thousands rushing to the point from every d.
rection. Two dead bodies have been taken out,
and three others have been extricated who will
undoubtedly die.
At the time of the disaster the streets were
crowded with people, and street car passing
was thrown from the track and upon it's side,
but none of the occupants were seriously injur-
ed. In removing the mass Of brick the fireman
first came upon the body of horse attached to
buggy, buried near tho Lagrange-st. front un-
der the debris. The adjoining buildings are
more or less shaken and damaged from the eff
fects OF the explosion.

A Priest Forsakcs the Pulpit.

The New York Times announces that the Rev.
Henry Lake. formerly of st. AIMS Roman Cath
ole Church, in that city, has abandoned the pnl-
pit. 1t appears that during his visit to Lorraine,
some time since, Father Lake made the acquan-
tance of wealthy French lady. On returning
to this country he left the Paulist fathers and
became a secular priest, being attached as such
to the Church of st. Ann, of which Father
Preston ia pastor. He was subsequently
transferred to Manhattanville, and his friends
were one day astonished to find that the young
clergyman had severed all connection with that
church, Of which he had been ardent sup.
porter Some months ago Father Lake married
tho Young lady to whom he had become attached
ON his European tour, and left with his bride
for California, where he is at present sojourn
ing. The lady to whom the ex-prest has united
hls fortune is said to be wealthy, accomplished
and of good family.

A NEW MINERAL OF GREAT pRoMIhE--wHERE
FOUND AND WHAT IT 49,
Some months ago, while the Hayre Iron Co.
were digging at the base Of ono of their iron
mines on their purchase in Hartford county, Nd,
a few miles from Conowingo bridge, rock of
unusual hardness and of new formation was
struck upon. Very little was said about the dis
covery at the timc, but portions of the rock were
broken off and exhibited to prominent mineral
ogists in this country ands Europe, while other
portions were subjected to various experiments.
The result has been that the rock, wherever
shown, has been greatly admired, its qualities
extolled, and Prof. Ghent, of the University of
Pennsylvania, has gone 30 far as 70 say that
there is ''nothing like it i'll the world.'
The fact that this rock had never before been
discovered entitled the finders to name it, and
they have accordingly called it Precious Serpen-
tine. A stone something similar to this has been
found in other places, but its formation is en-
trely different and ita texture not near no per-
feet. Precious Serpentine i'd a silicate of mag
nesia colored with chrome. 1t is semi-transpa-
rent and in it are blended the various shades of
green, with few white apotches, and i'll some
places it is beautifully mottled. At times the
veins resemble muddy stream, and i'll fact all
kinds of shapes are found i'll it. Tho rock in
texture is as fine AZ silk, and when placed be-
meath strong magnifylng glass 1T IL impossiple

even manuscript was beautifully mirrored with
the light at certain angles. The rock III of un-
usual hardness, and at first the discoverers ex-
perienced much difficulty in getting their drills
to stand but now they hold on very well.
Precious Serpentine is suitable for any of the
purposes of colored marble. 1t makes most

very edge without breaking. set of tomb

The vein of this rock is quite extensive. In

sent ownership of the Hayre Iron Co. covers al

.E,xaed,. Canditia,,.

The warden OF Backwell's Island states that
William Nj. Tweed was examined recently by
three distinguished physicians who say that he
is affected with heart disease and an affection
OF the kidneys, They did not express any fear
Of immediate danger, but thought that
his situation WAS sufficiently grave to justify
unusual consideration on the part OF the keep
ers. Tweed is now allowed to sleep out OF his
cell, for the reason that he has grown 10 stout
that it ia impossible for him to get in the door
OF one. Even il he could be squeezed in, the
bed with which each cell is provided is too mar
row for his bulky form, and there is not room
for larger cot. 1t is said that the grand jury,
IN making their presentment, will recommend
That Mr.. Tweed be allowed more privileges IN
consequence of his sickness.

DEIMAR, Del, May 26.
j. JTemplin & Son gave us all interesting en-
tertainment, on Friday evening, in the M. Il.
church, which, by request was repeated on Mon
day evening. The scenes arc large and lfelihe,
and embrace some Of the best in Scripture and
elsewhere. The audience, however, was larger
outside than inside the church.
On Saturday, the Delmar Good Templars eel.
ebrated their third anniversary in the Park with
sweet music by our brass band, enthusiastic
parade and entertaining speechifyipg. RevD. O.
Rdgway interwoye in his address a brief but
very interesting recital of his observations of the
drinking customs of several transatlantic coun-
tries which he visited during his late European
tour, telling us emphatcally that i'll all those
countries where the sale OF intoxicating liquors
is unrestricted there is tenfold more drunkenness
than he has ever seen in America. Rev. q. w.
Burke was then introduced, but. from blood rela-
ton considerations your correspondent declines
to say more, save he did not utterly fail. In
the evening, addresses of interest were delivered
by j. j. Templin and DIR. Kerr.
The fruit crop promises still an unusual yield,
taken altogether The mountain plums are
gone, pears are seriously damaged, and cherries
are partial failure but we have plenty OF
peaches and apples, and of Strawberries more
than we will be able to manage, it s feared.
These will be ready for first shipment to-day,
and tho very thought of fifty cents quart
makes Our growers look very pleasant.
The other crops looks very promising. Wheat
is rushing, grass ia recovering from the recent
cold weather, and is doing its level best Corn
is fighting worms and birds with Indications of
coming triumph and good increase. Vegetables
are dong their best, and, altogether, we enter
tain sangunest expectations of wellstored gar
nerH i'll tile coming autumn.
