evidently charged with the same explosive
material, was placed over tho spindle, and
then isnlted, VIC presume, by usa of a battery.
The explosion was such rs TO be heard several
squares away. The anvil was torn literally
to pieces. Tho glass windows in the build

chest was to dent in the door so it could not
be opened by using the lock- 1t took an ex.

A SURGEON in the German army calls
the attention of all who have to do
with horses to the danger of using the
pocket-hankerchief to wipe away any
foam from the mouth or nose of horse
which may have been thrown upon their
clothes. Some months ago, the writer
states, an officer came to him suffering
from an obstinate cold and cough. The
usual remedies were prescribed, but in
vain; visit TO the baths at Reichen-
hall also did the patient no good. Re-
turning to duty. the officer became
worse; fever, attended with great pain
in and swelling of the head, set in, and
ultimately, after much suffering, he
died with every symptom of CHAMBERS.
Inquiries were set on foot, and it was
found that some time before he was
taken i'll he had ordered horse which
he believed was suffering from glanders
to be shot. Neither the groom nor any
of the other soldiers WI. had been near
the horse have been attacked by gland
ers, and consequently j: is suspected
that the officer who died may have con-
veyed the disease into his system by
perhaps using his handkerchief to wipe
some of the foam from the mouth or
nose of the horse from his uniform.

The Blundering Druggist.

The residents of this place were
startled this morning by the informa-
ton that Mr.. George Van Brunt, the
druggist, had made terrible mistake
in compromising prescription, and
that the patient had taken fatal dose
of Magendie's solution of morphine in
stead of two ounces of magnesia sulp.
(epsom salts). The patient, Elizabeth
Monaghan, forty-five years old, an en-
ploye at Mrs. Barnes cottage, cut the
index finger of her right hand last
Tuesday on broken dish, and iEflam-
nation of a painful character set in.
DIR. Robert Conover, of Red Bank, on
Thursday ordered two ounces of ''mag-
nesia sulp." The druggist was hurried
by pressure of business and confused
by several who were talking to him,
and he made the fatal error. The mis-
take was detected three hours after by
Van Brunt's clerk, who asked him, on
the clerks arrival from visit, if he had
put up q prescription. Van Brunt said
that he had put up two ounces of fluid
prescription. The clerk showed him
the original prescription, and Van
Brunt tainted in his chair. The clerk
telegraphed for doctors, and in a short
time DIR. r. Conover, of Red Bank;
Chittenden, of Fairhaven; Chittenden,
of Binghampton, and Kimball, of Sea-
bright, were at the bedside of the dying
woman. All night long they worked
to restore consciousness, but without
success. The Rev. James II. Walsh,
of the Roman Catholic Church at Long
Branch, was telgraphed for and admin
istered the last rites of the Church.
The doctors, anxious to save life, con-
tinued their labors until the afternoon.
