DEATH OF JUNIUs |. SCALEs.-The death
of this esteemed gentleman occurred In the

Of Chief Justice Henderson. He represent

1861 he went to Mississippi, and soon after
entered the Confederate armv from that
State. He served as captain. lieutenant
| colonel, and. later, as colonel. He was
wounded at C~h!camauga. and, having been
made prisoner, was imprisoned at Johnson's
Island. in wretched health, until June %,
1868. After this be began the practice OIL

DROWNED Much sympathy has been
aroused by the death ofCapt. j. F. Wilson,
of the K. q G. R.R., who left this city July
Sd with a large excursion for Norfolk. The
train was crowded, and his profits must have
been good. From Norfolk, a small party
took the steamer for Washington. The night
was very warm, and Capt. Wilson went
upon deck to cool off. He was last seen
leaning against the railing at a place whence
if he fell he must pass directly under the
wheel, and be crushed by the paddles. That
such was his fate appeared next day when
his corpse was found floating in the river:
1t was a sad blow to his wife, family, and
friends. A deputatiou of Odd Fellows met
the remains on Monday, and conducted
them to his home at New Hill for burial.

A LIVELY BLOW UP.-They mad a lively
Fourth of July in London tho not exactly
on account of the Day we Celebrate.' It
seems that the large gas mains under Tot
tenham Court Road were leaking, and the
usual wooden-headed employee went with a
lamp to see if the gas would burn. Explo-
sions instantly occurred in a dozen places
along the street. Thirty persons were
wounded and several killed outright. From
one trench sixteen persons were extricated.
Four hundred houses are injured and one
demolished. All the windows along the
line of the explosions were demolished. A
dense volume of gas issued from the
trenches, and the air was charged almost to
suffocation. The performance at the Prince
of Wales theatre had to be suspended.
Vast crowds focked to the scene Of the
disaster. An eye witness, who was stand
ing at his door in Charlotte street, says he
noticed a cloud o. bricks and stones shoot
up a hundred feet into the air, followed by
a loud report, which rolled down the street
like artillery fire. He observed people
stagger and fall, and the ground shook as
if there was an earthquake. The workman
who applied the light in search of the leak
was blown a great distance away and killed.
