Another Powder mill I'xplooion.
The powder mill of Messrs. A. E. &, S. B. Austin, situated about four miles north of town,
near the first water station on the railroad, we
regret to state blew up about noon on Thursday
with more deplorable consequences
than attended the explosion a year ago. Two
Irishmen named McKibben and Newell, the on
ly persons working in the mill at the time, were
instantly killed. The former was blown entire
ly across the river; the latter was found but
shortdistance from the spot where the mill stood
The bodies of both were of course horribly mu
tilated and blackened. McKibben, who was
home," to a visitor, when you are merely en
gaged in household affairs, has been justly ques
tioned. Why not tell the truth?
When a visiter is told that a person whom he
calls toseeis particularly engaged, to press
on his time, unless upon the most urgent busi
ness, is the extreme of rudeness.
Kissing It is a general bad taste for ladies to
kiss each other in the presence of gentlemen
with whom they are but slightly acquainted
The ceremony had better be deferred to a more
fitting opportunity.

infer any such results from the valuation of
1S48 as a diminished value to the hog crop of 1843 compared with that of 1S47, that I put the
prediction on record, in this early stage of pork
packing operations, that the seasons eflt4-9 will greatly exceed in its productive results to
the West that of 1S47-8. Intelligent packers say, that the pork of last season did not uett the packers more than 2.75 cents per c wt., while the owners and drivers are now packing on their own account in preference to taking 3.25c. per
