"linarkitig a new era in the history of agricultural and mcalianical science, has closed with tfye most appalling caijlnniily which it has ever been our lot to record. The late war has familiariz

ed the public with bloodshed and cartiiiiige, but many a contest, between bod

ies of armed men, marshalled for the express purpose of killing each other,

brought less of sorrow and sadness to jlie hearthstones of friends anil relatives than did ibis horrible ea(astro

plie, occurring unexpectedly, without :i moment's warning, and with (lie em

blems of peaceful industry, instead of the cruel paraphernalia of war, on every hand. It is one of the myste

rious dispensations of inscrutable Providence that this awful catastrophe should have occurred as it did. in the

midst of a great gathering of people, assembled in the interests of peace and industry, to note t.ho progress of agriculture and mechanic science. When

battalions go forth, armed with all the

infernal paraphernalia of strategic murder, to do battle for the right or wrong, the public are prepared for the conscfjuences but in (his instance the calamity has overtaken us with the suddenness of a thunderpeal from a

cloudless sky. It is like death at the marriage least.

being exhibited. While the. festivities were in their height there came a loud report like the discharge of a heavy piece of artillery, and a con

We are not prepared to speak advisedly as to the immediate cause of

the accident, nor have we any assurance that even the most rigid investigation will shed any light on it. Those

who might be expected to know the exact condition of the boiler, and the

circumstances immediately preceding the explosion, arc now beyond the jurisdiction of a coroner's jury. But we

know enough to form an opinion as to the cause. This fearful accident, and

the killing and maiming of' these men, women and children, must, be ascribed

to the same cause which has so often resulted in catastrophe and death on our gVeat. water courses—the passion

for rurliKj. There was a race between rival saw-mills, to sec which could cut the most lumber it a given length of!

With a awful, despairing scrcam, she went into convulsions, and was born off the ground.

The scene about the immediate vicinity of the explosion was dreadful. A dozen dark pools of blood, scattered about, showed where men had fallen and died. A human leg, torn from the body, lay at a distance of thirty or forty yards from the spot where the boiler had exploded. Blood, brains, hair, and fragments of human flesh were sprinkled over the freshly-sawn planks, recently cut by the mill. In one place was a fragment of a body which looked like it might have been the abdominal wall of a man, lying burnt and blackened in the sawdust. A human ear, cut from the-head, had been deposited in one of a pile of hats which had been picked up in the neighborhood.

Some distance from the seeue of the disaster were found a pair of human legs, held together by a shred of flesh, the balance of the body being missing. A female leg, with shoe and stocking on, was found. Also the headless trunk of a man. Almost the entire scalp of a man was found near the amphitheater. Near the officers' quarters was found the piece of a man's head, comprising the forehead, nose and left side of the face. A small portion of the scalp, and whiskers on the side of the face showed very black hair, tinged with gray. An arm, supposed to be that of L. P. Davis, was found over a hundred yards from the scene of the explosion.

Within a distance of fifty yard on the north, west' and southwest, lay three horses, killed by the explosion. I That cn the north belonged to Mr. A.

A .SICKENING SIGHT.

Men may pale and sickened at the sight of a fi»ld of battle, where redhanded carnage has held its dreadful revel, and the ghastly torn and bleeding or lifeless bodies lie around, heap on heap but there is no horror of death so sickening to every sense as that indescribable ruin wrought by an explosion, where life has been torn from ghastly bodies by a dozen fierce, relentless forces which grappled with it all at once where the dead have been torn by flying missiles, have been scalded by escaping steam, have been scorched by consuming fire, have been hurled hither and thither by the force of the explosion blackened, bruised, torn, battered, stiflled, or scattered in shapeless fragments that forbid recognition, and bear no semblance to the human, form. Such a sight, crowned with horror which imagination may not conceive, we saw when last evening we entered the place where the dead lay stretched on rude, rough boards— eighteen mangled forms in all!

blackened mass of what had been humanity, but which was now only scraps and shreds of flesh and bones, and clothing, mingled in such wild, such awful, ghastly shape that whether it was one man, or two, or more, could scarcely be known.

Passing this horror and entering the shop we came upon another even more dreadful than the first, the dim light struggling in through the open door and rested upon it so faintly that nothing could be distinguished of its outline. Arouud it lay the remainder of the dead, blackened, shapeless,

.-V, SELTLORS CHARGES.

On the ground yesterday we heard serious charges of inhumanity against sundry hack and wagon drivers, in refusing to receive the wounded into their vehicles. This morning we find these charges published in the morning papers against the drivers of express wagous -if and *!". For the sako of the little faith we have left in human nature we trust that these charges are untrue. If', however, they prove to be true, these heartless beasts should be driven out of the community. Men who, in such an hour, will weigh their paltry dollars and cents against the instincts of humanity should be driven to herd with beasts of prey instead of associating with mankind.

TIIE t'NKECOGNIZED DEAM.

*In the back room of undertaker Weaver's shop lie the remains of several victims which are so awfully mutilated as to be beyond the hope of identification. On one board is a miscellaneous collection of remains, fragments of skull, with perhaps nose and part of the face adhering, masses of torn flesh and intestines, draggled in the dirt aud sawdust. In this hideous pile may be seen the stump of a human arm, showing signs of previous amputation—probably the limb of some poor soldier, who suffered mutilation in the loug and cruel war, and

The entrance to Mr. Weaver's room is through a narrow passage from the front., from which we emerged into an open space beyond which is the shop, a dark low building, extending to the alley. In the open space, with their gliastly faces upturned to the calm sky which but a few short hours be fore had looked down upon them flushed with health and vigor, lay five bod.ies which, though horribly disfigured, still bore the semblance of manhood. But beside them, under a covering which none but the bravest d*red to MWeanurbome to meet roorc Horlift a second time, lay shapeless and

The body of a small man or boy (marked "supposed to be Davis"), lies on a board, with one side of the head torn away- In the hall, between the front aud back rooms, is a most frightfully mutilated body, apparently that of a large man, well developed, and symmetrical in proportions.
