Imme diately succeeding there broke upon the ear a sharp crash. The air was full of debris ; pieces of blazing muslin a portion of the freight were thrown to an incredible night, and, slowly falling, alighted all ablaze, rods away, in the open fields. Following the rear of the explosion fragments fell thick as hail upon the line of the road and the streets surrounding, and when the cloud cleared away the results were plainly visible. The three last cars of the train were blown to fragments, and only the fore truck of the third remained. The train stood at the time upon a grade or embankment, high above the level of the street, so that only perhaps, of me cunnings alongside were above the rails, the other side wasonen countrv For several rods the buildings were de molished. Laths and plaster were blown to the winds, as one would knock the ashes from a cigar; partitions were blown out, windows and sashes splinter ed to fragments; bed clothing torn from the beds and flung into all sorts of places and ruin made of what were an instant before secure and quiet homes. Below the cars and on the track itself the rails were twisted from their places. the ties were annihilated, and the axles broken off and Iriven into the ground for half their lengths. In all directions the shattered and broken iron work told a plain story of the fearful force that had been so suddenly developed. For rous arounu, tne contents ot the cars were scattered upon the track ; pieces of cotton cloth, sides and scraps of leather. shoes, furniture, stationery, littered the road. The telegraph poles for several hundred feet were blown to pieces, and the wires twisted into fantastic shapes drooped lrom such as remained standing. 1 he wheels of the cars were blown to fragments, and one of the palls that play in the ratchet of the brake was picked up half a mile away. It went whizzing into the kitchen of a housewife and . struck against the The platen of a large iron planing ma chine in the New York Machine Works was lifted clear of its bed by the concussion. Children white about the lips, and men and women with scared faces, ran hither and thither. One man, sick in bed with rheumatism, was blown out of bed into an adjoining garden. Soon was made manifest that remarkable passion for relics, if not for plunder, that characterizes so many persons. Things that could not by any stretch of imagination be useful were quickly snatched up and secreted. Old pieces of leather, scraps of writing paper, envelopes, sole-les- s Blip'pers, a ebred of muslin, a foot or two of wire, nothing was so small as to escape notice.

The following is an extract from a speech delivered by Mr. II. L. Reade, before the Farmers Club, at the American Institute, N. Y. Tho natural food of the three principal classes of domesticated animals horses, cattle, and sheep is grass, not hay or grain. When, therefore, civilization removes them from a state of nature, the artificial life to which they are, introduced should be as near t he natural one as possible. Six months in the year our horses, cattle, and sheep (in the country) live on their natural food In providing for the other six, we should prepare for them something as nearly like their summer diet as possible. It should not, therefore, be matured slocks dried, but preserved grass, all grasses reach their highest point of excellence, considered as food, when they first come into blossom. The vital elements are then scattered throughout the entire plant, which in no part has suffered the exhaustion and loss attending the complete or even partial development of the seed. Grass, then, should be cut when the blossoms first open. Particularly, if the grass o;i any given farm is mainly of one variety, it is better to begin cutting before it reaches even this state of maturity. Timothy and red-tohead about the same time. If we wait for the appearance of the blossoms before we begin, we shall have the matured seed and the weedy and almost worthless stock before the end is reached. In the matter of clover, if it stands erect, it is safe to wait till one-hathe blossoms begin to turn, never later. The other half will be so perfected in growth that there will be. no loss inq uantity or quality. If lodged it should be cut much earlier, as the decay at the root will more than counterbalance any growth elswhcre. In regard to grasses not specified, the same general rule will apply, bearing in mind that it is always better to cut considerable before it reaches perfect maturity rather than considerable afterward.
