Of this misfortune aro as follows:

were required to make the casting, and
the services Of twenty men wcrc requir-
cd to make the casting, and the servi.
ces Of twenty men wera required tc
handle it. While they wCrc pouring
tho molten metal into tho mould there
was a sudden and terrific report,
which was closely followed by a shower
Of liquid iron. The rsd.hot metal
flew in every direction and dropped in
splOtchcs upon and about tue terrified

their situation the men ran to escape

and Immediately great streams shot out
in quick pursuit Of the flying laborers

calamity spread with remarkable rapid.

shricks Of women and children living
in the vicinity were added to tue grOani

frantically to tho foundry with paIlid

Tho following extracts arc taken
from contribution 10 the Philadelphia

Mary Tucker Magill, niece Of Hon.
John Randolph Tucker, Of Virginia
"No non .combatants saw more Of
the shifting panorama Of the civil war
in tho United States than did the citi-
zens Of Winchester, in tho Valley Of
Yirgiuia. Held as au outpost by the
Coufederates the first year, it after.
wards served as shuttlccock between
the gray and the blue battlodOre. It
thus changed hands eighty.fOur times
and when the game was over the shut.
tlecock was denuded Of feathers, velvet
and tinsel-a poor, useless, ruined
thing. Tho best houses in the town
had served rs hospitals, barracks and
evan stables. A lady after the war,
upon taking possession of house new
ly painted and repaired. was informed
by her neighbOrs that they had many

dron Of the family now gazcd, 1t is
needless to soy that her relish for her
new home was slightly disturbed, as
ono does not like the idea Of living in
a stable, iii! is newly painted.
"0f course, in common with tho
rest Of Virginia, the town was almost
uni. in its enthusiastic loyalty to tho
Southern cause, aud such being the
the case suffered accordingly. Jack.
son and Ashby were peculiarly tho val.
10y heroes their approach was the sig-
nal for wild joy, their retreat for bitter
tears. 1t seems wondarful, in looking
back, that ordinary physiqucs could so
long have stood the severe strain upon
their powers; The excitement Of battle
followed by IN occupation by tho one.

time communication was utterly cut
of with friends; the terrible depres-
sion thus caused to DO obliteratcd By
another season Ct excitement and exul.
tation this constituted tho war life at
an outpost. Nor was it without its cf-
feet. There never was timO in the
history Of tho town when SO many
young girls and old people died. 1t
took very little disease to result fatally;
the system sank almost Immediately !;
and yet with all the terrOrs Of that
time there was charm in the life
which was so much moro and 20 much
less than life ever was before or ever
will be again. We would noue Of us
part with our war experience, bitter rs
it was; when hope and despair follow

we're SO imminent, containing in them
often more than the general measure
Of joy and sorrow which is tho ordinary
allotment Of a lifetime.
