The most terrific and disastrous explosion that ever took place in these parts occurred here on Wednesday, March 15th, about 2 o'clock, in the afternoon, caused. by the. blowing up of an acetylene gas Machine, located in Messrs. Merner Bros.' general store. The force was so great as to blow out the east side and front of the building, wrecking a number of buildings on the opposite side of the street, shatteringwindows two blocks distant, and causing a gen- eral commotion throughout the town. The shock was felt for miles around, and all seemed strickeu with conster- nation at such an unusual occurrence. The building in which the explosion occurred took fire, but a large number soon gathered around and extinguished the flames. All the clerks, together with a number of customers, were in the. store at the time, and also a num- ber on the street when the explosion took place and how all escaped with their lilies is a miracle. Mr. Merner, however, was severely burned; but 130 others were injured. The loss on the stock is estimated at $1000, while the loss on real estate will be consider- able.

Clinton; It is with very deep regret indeed that we announce the de.ath of the wife of Thos. Mason, of town, which occurred on Tuesday afteruoon, at the early age 1)2 41 years. She has not enjoyed good health fora consider- able time; even while living on the farin her condition was critical, but she improved somewhat on moving to town, though latterly it was evident she was falling. She was the eldest daughter of Mrs. "trodden, of town, and was an amiable wife and mother - She was it consistent member of the Methodist church, and all through her sufferings, (which were intense,) there was the evidenee of rest on divine grace. Not able to participate, in church services, she nevertheless lived a life of abiding faith in Him who is eternal. She leaves two children, a son and daughter, and her husband has the very deepest sympathy of the, entire'community in his sad bereave- ment.
