Explosion at tf old Dubham Cobn- EBs. â€" An explosion, which created no little sensation, but fortunately did Uttle harm, occurred in the dwellmg of Mr. Thos. Omelia, 2i miles east of this village, at what is known as the^ "Old Durham Comers," on Wednes- day evening last. Mr. Omelia states, having a short time previous bought some stoye wood from a neighbor, they had commenced burning the same, and on the evening in question, about 9 o'clock, they had put some blocks of wood into the stove and quietly seated themselves around the fire for the evening, when, with a ter- rible crash, the covers on the stove were blown off and the doors burst open, and in an instant the house was full of smoke and ashes, and the floor strewn with burning wood and coals, which fortunately they were able to extinguish before much harm was done afterward among the ashes on the floor was found some cartridge shells, the ball of one was afterward discovered to have passed through an inch board in a partition about 12 inches from where Miss Omelia was at the time sitting. Upon examina- tion of other pieces of the wood, in a soft or rotten part was found other cartridges imbedded in some dirt and leayes which Mr. Omeha thinks was placed there to do serious harm. We cannot think the neighbcrjfrom whom the wood was purchased would do such a diabohcal act. The case as yet is a mystery. The Rey. Mr. Ayers delivered his popular Temperance sermon, entitled "DoUarsand Dimes," in the Methodist ehurch here on. Sunday evening last, selecting for his text "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which satisfieth net " Isaiah 55 and 2. As space does not permit a synopsis, to be brief, the rev. gentleman's discourse was a choice production very ably and feelingly delivered, and altbo' the church was crowded almost to its ut- most capacity, was listened to with wrapt attention by all. At the close of the sermon, Mr. Ayers called upon Dr. Christoe to make a few remarks on the Temperance question, when the Dr. very briefly delivered a few well chosen remarks. At thjs close of the service the choir sang "Where is my boy to-night " the congregation join- ing in the ehorus. Considerable repairs and an addi- tion is being made to the Methodist church. Messrs, Moore Whitteu secured the contract at $760. The many farmers who sold their grain on this market last season will be pleased this year again to sie the pleasant countenances of Messrs. Elder andNeilson to greet thern again both here and at the Statio We understand other buyers are ;oected to be on this market this t^v :on as well, whicb, no doubt will ' nd to make this as good if not be/, than any other grain market in tlu nntry.
