SHOCKING AccIDEST.-We gather
from the Herald the particulars of an
accident which occurred at West
Columbia last Wednesday. A little
boy stuck u lighted match into key
Of powder. His mother, Mrs. Evans,
wife of John L. Evans, with great
presence of mind picked up the keg,
and threw it into the yard. 1t had
not more than fallen, before itexplo-
ded, injuring her severely, and blast
ing.and singing tree under which
it fellfrom top to bottom. Mrs. Evans,
face is now a solid scab, and her
limbs are badly burnt. She imme-
diately rolled herselfon the grass af-
ter the explosion took place, and
sent her son for u blanket to smoth-
er the fire. Although badly burnt,
it is not thought her injuries will
prove fatal. There were two little
children in the house at the time,
and if the explosion of the key had
taken place there, it would have
been fearful.
