fectly. The material is gathered up from my

and is purely home enterprise
MR.. 3. F. EAKLE has consented to manage
the business of selling, delivering, and max ing
settlement of the above named Fertilizer
Give him a call at his office in the store-room
of Mr. VIM. Eakle. opposite the Courthouse,

Respectfully, REEVES GAIT.
Having determined to sell Fertilizer this
season, took great pains to examine into the
merits of Fertilizers generally, and according
to my judgment the Fertilizer now manufac-
tured by Mr.. Reeves Gait is the best for the
money now offered on this market, and it is
with pleasure and confidence that 1 offer

many airs" and were in some instances too much
favored by the fair sex. Two or three personal
difficulties have from time to time occurred in
consequence. but nothing very serious before the
affair Of Thursday night. 1t is alleged that young
Holman insisted upon dancing with young lady
against her will !; that the foreigner VINO happen
ed to be her escort for the time being remonstra-
ted, and for his pains received several punches in
the nose and knock down on the spot. The
.helfigerent Westerner was carried of and the
noxt day received challenge from the man he
had insulted. After taking the advice of his
friends, he wrote note of apology, which has
ended the affair for the present, but whether
finally or not is not known.

THE EXPLOSIONS IN LONDON.

As stated in Saturdays GAZETTE there
were three explosions, two in Westminster
Palace, which contains the Houses of Par
lament, and one in the White Tower
within the walls of the historic Tower
of London The FIRST explosion in
Westminster. Palace was in Westmln-
ster Hall, and the second occurred
in what is called the lobby under the peers
gallery in the House of Commons. Satur-
day being visiting day there were large
number OF sghtseers, both at Westminster
and the Tower. At both places over thirty
persons were injured, though, perhaps,
none fatally, by shattered windows and by
the force OF the conclusion. Many of those
hurt were women and children. Parlia-
ment was not in session, having adjourned
on December to February 10. 1t is said
that the damage done in Westminster Pal
ace cannot be repaired in mouths.
An inspection of the Parliament buildings
shows that, excepting the beautiful window
overlooking the staircase at the south eud
of Westminster Hall, scarcely pane OF
glass escaped destruction. The foundations
of the buildings were badly shaken. The
roof of the crypt, in spite of its massive
strength, was greatly damaged, rtis being
seen here and there. The floor Of the House
of Commons presents strange spectacle,
being covered with heaps of massive frag-
menls. The deliberately carved oaken wall
behind the seats beneath the gallery was
completely thrown down. The flooring OF
the strangers and speakers galleries
is 80 torn up that it is deemed un.
safe to venture across. The peers gallery
suffered most damage. The side galleries
and reporters gallery were not injured.
The parcel which caused the hrst explo'
sion was wrapped in brown cloth, and was
two feet long by one foot wide. The found
alton of the hall is uniEjured, but the roof
j. badly damaged States were blown from
the roof and the stone wall shows white
pat cnes.
IL is believed that one Of the conspirators
EN- cred the crypt passing policeman at
the entrance, ami deposited the internal
machine ut the bottom of the steps. The
policeman had his suspicious aroused, and
removed the parcel, which exploded, max
ing hole in the floor three feet in dame
ter, twisting the iron ratings and smashing
the iron and lead work Of all the windows
in tho ball. The poiceman's hair was
singed aud his face burned. His clothing
was torn from his body by the force Of the
explosion He is still alive.
! The man and woman who drove from the
Parliament buildings Immediately before
the explosion, aud who were arrested GU
suspicion, were liberated, the evidence
against them being insufficient to hold them.
