just three years ago the woods were set
on fire near Beaver Dam depot, Hanover
county, and the flames swept over the coun-
try for ten miles, destroying forest, fences,
and, in many cases, houses. The only
church destroyed by this conflsgration Yves
Old Walters. This church was organized in
lIG9 by the celebrated John Waller. .Mr.
Waller had been known as "Swearing
Jack - because OF his great wickedness, but
was converted in 1867, and baptized by
James Read, who had come over from
North Carolina to preach in Virginia. John
Waller became pastor Of Walters church

GIANT POWDER AND NITRo-GLYCERINE-GREA
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., May Cat quarter
to IL O'Clock tonight terrific explosion
took place on the Jersey City palisades. The
explosion occurred at the magazine Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Rail-
road Company, in which were stored giant
powder and glycerine, used for blasting in
the Bergen tunnel. The magazine was situ-
ated on common, the immediate brow Of
the palisades, about twenty feet south OF the
eastern terminus. A great number OF
houses were damaged, some persons
estimating the number in the thou
sands. Where the magazine stood there
was a bssin-shaped excavation fully
twelve feet across, and capable OF holding
two or three hundred people. Not a par
iticle Of. the building material could be
found. The nearest houses are some first
class residences on the west side OF Palisade
avenue, some four hundred feet distant.
For a radius OF two miles reports came in
that dwellings and buildings had been more
or less damaged, and a majority had the
windows destroyed. The cause OF the dis
aster is not known, but it is thought to be
the work OF the tunnel-strikers and rioters.
Two OF their leaders were up yesterday be-
fore the police Justice for leading the riot
on Tuesday last and were held for trial.
The explosion was heard with startling ef-
feet throughout New York city. One man
was killed, and all the houses for distance
OF two miles around had their window
panes shattered. " -ai}.#

In our municipal affairs the seethlng caul-
dron OF political excitement begins to APP
proach cbullition. A ticket has been nomi-
mated for town officers in which our best
citizens are named without regard to party
lines or previous scryitudc. famous con-
grcs>ional spirant. who is little out OF favor
with his party because Of past reflections,
10 prove his loyalty now throws down the
gauntlet OF opposition to this ticket, and
literally engages to eXpend five hundred
dollars (the amount OF fine RENTED by the
Legislature several years ago) to secure the
election OF colored mayor. The result Of
registration reveals but little majority either
. way, so that brisk campaign is looked for.
Dr. Jorgenson's chances to succeed Stow
ell, or at any rate to get the nomination, inn
prove daily.
The tobacco-planting interest, which has
been Quaking for some little time in view OF
the ravagcs OF the fly, is more composed
now with the past few warm days. Ine
loss OF plants, which has been strangely
more serious with those who have not DIS
posed Of their last years crop, seems to give
color to the opinion that the best security

APPoMATToX, May s, 1876.
The farmers OF this section are very much
exercised on the subject OF tobacco-plants.
The fly has made sad havoc of them during
the late cold spell, and, making due allow
ancc for the usual croaking which is IN
dulged in at this season for the purpose OF
affecting the market, it is quite certain that
4 full crop cannot be planted, and very like
~ not even half crop.
Wheat is looking unusually well, oats
very badly. The dry weather prevents the
handling OF tobacco, which has no doubt
proved a benefit to many whose necessities
would have forced them to put their tobacco
into market long ago il they could have
done So =.

almost necessarily for sixty hours, and at
the time the storm struck the town the rain
was still falling in torrents. At an early
hour in the evening lightning began to play
across the sky, and the whole dir seemed TO
be filled with electricity, and all night long
flashes and reports followed each other in
such rapid succession that there was almost
an unbroken glare OF lightning and roar OF
thunder. At 1925 o clock a dense, black cloud
was seen in the western horizon, and Few
minutes after sharp breeze came up from
the east, which continued not over minute,
when there was dead calm, and rain ccas-
ed entirely. Then began to be heard DIS
tant roaring of the coming tornado. IN a
moment more the wind struck the city, and
It seemed for time as il everything above

VISITING THE RUINS,

NEW YORK, May. 7.-Over forty thousand
people visited the scene of the explosion in
Jersey City to-day. The absence of danger
Gus injury to any person is something Won
derful when the ridded houses in the neigh
borhood are seen. Many bricks were hurled
through walls within foot or so Of sleep
ers' heads. The police failed to trace, any
thing that leads them to suppose the strikers
were the perpetrators OF the deed. Tue
opinion is becoming general that sponta-
neous combustion was the cause. The
damage, which is still only guessed at, con-
sists chiefly OF broken glass and the wreck
of movable articles.
