Gated at Platteyille, had an exciting
and somewhat costly experience on
the morning of the 18th inst. by an
explosion which completely wrecked
his kitchen stove or range. 1t was
occasoned by the water being frozen

built the steam which formed had
no way of escaping, hence the ex-
pIosiou. Fortunately there was no
