A VOlley Of Sky Rockets.

Mr.. II. IL. Smith, who keeps cigar
store on French street, above Fourth,
bought Q lot of SKY rockets on Saturday,
an I in the evening, when the iremen's
parade came up Fourth street, he pre-
pared to give them salute. Mr.. Smith
placed one Of the rockets on end, leaning
it up against the back of the chair which
he placed on the pavement, and laid nine
other rockets upon the seat Of the chair,
in order to have them handy, with their
business end pointed down French street.
The rocket was put off and the sparks
and exploded the whole lot. Unfortu-
.tely for crowd standing on Cooling
u LlOyds steps, thirty feet away, the
rockets were pointed full at them, and
quite number were painfully burned.
The way that crowd made itself scarce
was a wonder, and those who did not
run Jared badly. MIR. Frank Stdham
dodged and got one through his hat rim
Mr.. Jacob HI. Lewes received one on the
leg, which burned that member pal nfully
and the sparks flying burned his hand.
Miss Mitchell, daughter of Mr.. z. II.
Mitchell, had her dress burned coDsld-
erably, and one lady tainted and hurt
herself as she fell. All in all, the rockets
wrought disastrous results, but it Is
wonder that more injury was not done:
